MARION MAN SHOT.
Paying Too Much Attention to Another
Mans Wife.

Last week, Monday evening at about
10 O'Clock, Gus j. Kinkle, clerk of the
village of Marion, Waupaca county,
was shot through the abdomen by DR..
G. w. Krubsack. 1t seems that Kin
kle had been paying too much atten-
tiOn to the DIR. S wife and he had been
told to keep away Oh there would be
trouble Notwithstanding he visited
the Dr's home on Monday night.
The DIR. had been called to go on a
professional visit quite distance
from home; he had not gone far when
he was reached by telephone and told
that it was not necessary for him to
come. He returned home and met
Kinkle at the back door of his resi-
dence; after a few words had passed
between them, the DIR. shot him with
shot gun which he was carrying,
Kinkle was rushed to the hospital in
this city and was operated upon.
From the first it was thought that he
could not possibly live. He died at
st. Mary's hospital at 1l:30 O'Clock,
Wednesday night and the remains
were taken to his home in Marion.
Kinkle was born in Germany, forty
eight years ago, and has wife and
several children.
District Attorney, of Waupaca Co.,
Giles Putnam, came to the city
Wednesday and took Kinkle's dying
statement. On Tuesday preliminary
examination was held and DIR. Krub-
sack was placed under $1,000 bonds
which were furnished by his father
and uncle The affair caused great
sensation in Marion, as both men are
prominent in that community. DR..
Krubsack is only twenty-five years
of age.

BOWLING TOURNEY.

Last Tuesday the Bowling Tourna-
ment of the city of Wausau started,
in the alleys at the Club, Burley's
and the Owls. Every afternoon and
evening OF the past week have been in
constant use. At all times the alleys
have been crowded with onlookers
and there has been a great deal of fun
and enthusiasm on every alley. OF
course there are prizes up, over $500
worth of merchandise and several
hundred in cash, but it is not alto
gether this that has attracted every
bowlers' attention; the fun and fell
lUwShip being afforded is worth the
entering.
Up to date of the five men teams
the K A of p. No. l has bowled the
highest in the three games, 2697 with
the Owl Specials nearby with total
of 2679 pins. Weichmann'S Drugs
stand third with 2644 and Wilke Jew.
lers No. 2 fourth with 2636. The
Wausau Club team No. 13 is fifth with
2577.
In the doubles Erickson and Ziels-
dorf are first with 1901 pins. Ear
Henry bowled a remarkable average
i'm the singles and leads with 702 pins
as a total for the three games. Don
aid Gooding is nearest to him with
592 pins.
Several more days and the tourna-
ment will be over and the prizes will
be awarded. 1t is practically sure
thing that this tournament will be
made an annual affair for the mem
bers of entries and the interest OF
this year warrants it.

RIVER OPENING UP.

The ice in the Wisconsin river is
becoming soft in places, though paths
and roads are still used by people.
The river is raising as well as the
streams which empty into it. This
leaves an opening of clear water along
the shores and it will not be long If
the weather continues warm before
the ice will go out. for 90 miles
down the river the ice still covers the
river. though in places where there IS
a current, the river is open. A warm
rain covering northern Wisconsin
would no doubt bring the river up TO
high stage.

YOUR DOCTOR KNOWS
That Milk and Malt Is the Best
Food Tonic He Can
Get.

Physicians everywhere appreciate
from practical experience that com
bination of milk and malt is the best
food tonic and body bdilder they can
get. When properly prepared, it con
tains in their just proportions the ele-
ments that supply and rebuild wastes
of tissue and nerve-force.
Like practically everything else,
there are different kinds of matted
milks, and inferior brands should not
be expected to produce satisfactory
results.
If there was previously any doubt
as to its superiority, all question was
removed when the San Francisco EX-
position awarded "rhe Grand Prize
(highest possible awardD to the ia
nous brand known as "Borden's
Matted Milk in the Square Package y
Through a special process of manu-
facture, in Borden's Matted Milk the
casein of the milk has been partially
pre-digested, thus rendering the food
remarkably easy of assimilation and
suitable to the most delicate stomach.
This is one reason why Borden's sue
ceeds where, all others fail.
/ "Bordens Matted Milk in the Square
Package" is preparation of abso-
Lutte purity and wholesomeness. No
stomach is too weak to digest it
none too strong to be benefited by
its use. Insist, then, upon Borden's.
At all good druggists.
