A very severe accident happened to
Geo. Farnham last Thursday morning

with an axe for the purpose of cut
ting hole in the roof, leaving a man
at the bottom to hold it from slipping:
for some reason the man left and the
ladder fell with Geo. to the ground,
the edge of the axe falling across his
left hand, just below the wrist, sever
ing the cords of the third and fourth
fingers.
On Thursday morning about one
O'Clock, our fire department was called
out to quench the fire IN Jas. Adams
saw works in the Fifth ward, on Full
ton street. The fire was we'll under
way before being discovered by Mr..
Adams, whose dwelling adjoins the
works, and who was awakened by the
noise and cracking flames. The fire
department performed excellent work
in limiting the spread of fire and saw
ing the residence. The works and
stock were entirely destroyed involv-
ing a loss of $4,000, which was in
sured for about two-thirds.

MARRIED MEN TO BE
GIVEN THEIR DISCHARGE

Secretary of War, Neuton D. Baker,
has ordered that all married men
may be discharged from the National
Guard and that men rejected, who
were unable to pass the medical eXami-
nation may be reinstated by their
captains as the National Guard will
be needed only for patrol duty on the
border. This will relieve many mar
ried men in the Wausau company
There are from ten to twenty-five
married men in each company and
their absence from their homes is be
ing felt in many cases. Some of the
married men have been given leave
of absence that they might go home
and make preparation, by loan or
otherwise, to give their families suffi-
cient to live upon, during the time
they are away. While there are so
many young men ready to go, it is the
thing to send home all the married
men who can be spared.
