VISITED WAUSAU.

The editor of the Shawano Advo-
cate spent an hour in Wausau last
week and in his issue said
''On our return home stop of an
hour was make at Wausau, and we
made hurried inspection of Wau-
sau's beautiful new city hall, built at
cost of $4,000. When they do
things at Wausau, they do them right
and spare no expense, as the people
of that city can afford the best and
they have 1t. The city hall has a
commanding location at the head of
Third street, the main business
street, and is a beautiful building
and has well equipped and handsome
officials for all of its city officials,
with fine assembly chamber for the
council meetings. On the top of the
building there is large electric sign,
"Work for Wausau' which shows up
for miles and is a big advertisement
for the city. The new electric lights
for the main streets are big improve
ment over the old kind, and it would
be nice If Shawano could have SINH
lar lights on it's main street for a few
blocks"

HOLBROOK SHOT.

Last Thursday the tramps on the
500 railroad were unusually plenty.
The brakeman ordered three to get off
the train when one of them pulled a
revolver and threatened to shoot.
The tramps were left alone until they
reached Stanley, when they we're ar
rested and the one carrying revolver
was given 80 days at hard labor at
Chippewa Falls.
A man by the name of Holbrook,
riding in an empty car on the same
train was shot by tramp and he was
taken to Marshtield, to ST. Joseph's
hospital. He was shot in the back
near the spine, but it is thought that
he will recover. Holbrook says he
was out of work and had no money
and was trying toSbeat his way to
some place where he could get work.
He got into an empty box car at Owen,
and before the train started another
man got on, saying he was going to
Rothschild. When near Spencer, and
while Holbrook had his back to the
stranger, the latter shot him in the
back, and then jumped off the train
and made his escape. The story seems
to be rather "fishy," End some think
that Holbrook received the bullet in
his back in some other way. He is
we'll known to many here and has
hard reputation. In Stevens Point
he is also well known. The Journal
says that W. r. Holbrook, who claims
to have been shot near Spencer by D.
hobo, according to the records of
Portage county, is a hard character.
On Nov. q, 1904, he entered a home
in Stockton for the purpose of robbery,
and for which he was sentenced to
states prison for one year. He was
delivered to the prison by A. E.
BOurn, who was told that Holbrook
had served four previous sentences in
states prison. When his term expired
he came to the home of his father in
this county. He was later arrested in
Fond du Lac for robbery and again
to states prison for another
year. He enlisted from this county
in the Spanish-American war. After
the war he went to Missouri, and
stayed there until he found it neces-
sary to come where he could make
some easy money. Those who know
him thinks it the more likely that he
was shot in the back while> trying 20
get away from some irate individual
whom he was trying to hold up. AS
it is it will take some time for him to
recover from his wound.
