Liquor Without License, Says
Attorney General.

Madison.-A sheriff is the only
person in Wisconsin who has a right
to sell liquor without a license, &C.
cording to an opinion of the attorney
general, who advised District Attor-
ney James G. O'Niell of Dodgeville to
that effect. 1t seems that the sheriff
of that county had seized a stock OF
liquor in execution and intends to sell
it Tor debt and some other residents
of the county think he ought to de-
stroy the liquor and not try to sell
it. He appealed to the district at
torney, who in turn asked the at
torney general for a ruling. The
sheriff will now sell the liquor and
will not be compelled to open a sa
loon or take out license

Estimated Over a Million.
Fatalities at Green Lake.

Green Lake lis another village
which will add names to the list of
dead. Two persons, father and
daughter, are badly injured and prob
ably will die
In the story of the disaster at
Green Lake, which will tell of fl
nancial loss running up into the
thousands, the heroism of the man
who is dying will be prominent. He
is Fred Koplin, who is a victim of
tuberculosis and was sleeping in an
outdoor cottage near his home when
the storm came. His wife and
daughter, Mildred, were sleeping in
the house.
The house was picked up and
thrown over the frail cottage, which
was crushed to the ground A heavy
timber pinioned the child, and then
Kophn, in a frenzy of effort to rescue
her, started a hemorrhage which
which probably will result in his
deatI.
The estimate of the loss of prop
erty at Green Lake is 100000. The
county buildings and more than forty
houses were unroofed, and hundreds
of smaller buildings were demolished.
Appleton Loss 100000
1t is estimated that 100000 worth
of damage was done in the vicinity
of Appleton by the storm. Barns
through all sections of the county
a 0f I,
wrecked and cattle killed The Outa-
game county asylum suffered loss
of $4,000, losing three barns, corn
cribs and slaughter house.
One Dead at Oshkosh.
A tornado which swept from east
to west and west to east from the
village of Omro through the northern
limits of Oshkosh cost about $4,000
worth of damage
The destruction at Omro included
number of buildings and trees. In
Oshkosh the barns and bleachers Of
the baseball park at the county fair
grounds were blown down across the
road and several houses were
smashed.
William Zubke, aged 65, was in
stantly killed at Oshkosh when he
touched a live wire blown down by
the storm.
WatertoWn Woman Hurt.
Mrs. Edward Lietzke was probably
fatally injured at WATERFOWL Her
home was blown over and she was
badly cut by flying sheet of glass
from a neighboring house. The storm
cleared path about six hundred
feet wide through the northern end
OF Watertown, and extended far into
the country on both Sides Persons
driving in from the stricken terri
tory tell of many houses and barns
having been blown from their foun-
dations with a heavy loss of livestock
and trees.
Portage Suffers Seriously.
Thousands of dollars of damage
was done in the vicinity of Portage.
The fact that the majority of build
ings of Portage are of brick and stone
material cut down the damage ma
terially. Shade trees, some three feet
in diameter, were uprooted Sixteen
towers Of the Wisconsin Power com
pany were blown down, seven being
on the Portag milwaukee line
