HUNTSMEN BLAME POLICEMAN.
Men Arrested in North End Park for
Hunting Are Not Convicted.

Ignatz Gwiaski and John ShcmeigeI,
charged with violating a park ordi-
nance by hunting in the North End
park yesterday, denied the charge to
Judge James T. Meskill this morning
and placed much Of the blame for
Michael Boras.
The park policeman testified that
he met the two men coming through
the park and heard them shooting, he
thought at blue-jays. He said that
when he stopped them Schmeigel
pointed his gun at him and threatened
to shoot unless he departed. Schmeigel
declared that Boras jumped at him
suddenly from the bushes and he did
not know who he was, so held him
off with his gun until he proved his
identity by showing his badge. Then,
he said, the policeman called him a
harsh name and threatened to punch
him in the nose Judge Meskill said
that in his opinion the conduct of the
officer, which was not a credit to a
uniform, put grave doubt in his
mind as to whether the men were
hunting or not, and they had perfect
right to pass through the park He
discharged Gwiaski and suspended
Judgment in the case of Schmeigel.
Inc polceman was advised to wear
his badge In a conspicuous place
hereafter.
William Sitter was arraigned on q
charge Of operating a motor car while
under the influence of liquor. He was
arrested by Officer Theodore Johnson

The plumbers are now putting the
finishing touches on the heating

Schram chair factory. Considerable
machinery has already arrived and
eight more carloads are expected
soon. Two carloads of machinery

The individual motcr3 which will
be used to furnish the p3wer have
arrived and their number impresses
any visitor to the plant with the
fact that no small amount of ma
chinery is to be in operation in this
plant when the wheels start turning.
Several carloads of chair stock and
almost a carload of patterns are now
in the building and a shipment of
oak lumber is now being unloaded.
The office fixtures are in the
building and men are rapidly putting
this part of the building in readiness
for occupancy The fixtures ere fine
enough to grace a bank and will
give the company very attra active

great transformation has come over
the city during the years he has
resided here and Rev Sanders h9s
done his full share in the work
The February following his arrival
here he was appointed a member of
the school board by Mayor Rich
ards and when the change was made

which he has been a most efficient
member ever since. Mr.. Sanders has
formed many ties here that endear

friends view his departure with 10
little regret. They are, however,
gratified that he goes to such an
excellent field.

Change Should Be Made in the
Game Laws

| Conservation Warden j. II. Boomer,
of Baraboo, was here couple OF
days this week. Mr. Boomer is visit
ing various sections Cf nolth:rn
Wisconsin where Beavers are num-
erous. investigating complaints Of
damage done by these Industrious
animals. 1t is quite a serious MT,
ter to the settler who has but a few
acres cleared when the beavers build
dam and flood a few acrcs of hay
meadow he is fortunate enough to
have.
Mr.. Boomer has a plan for the
abatement to this nuisance that ap-
pears to us to he fair and prac-
tical He proposes that legal pr
vision be made so that the settler
could trap beavers on his own land
without a special permit from the
required. Thus the damage done by
these animals would doubtless be
made up by the revenue that would
result from trapping some Of them
and, trappers being restricted to
their own land the animals would
not be exterminated.
Beavers are now incrae sing in
numbers and in many places ar a
great pest, their dams resulting III
flooding not only meadows but often
roads and even raising the leye. of
the water in some streams above the
roadway of bridges spanning them,
to the serious interference with traf-
fic. Then, when the dams are
laboriously demolished or blown cut
the indefatigable little workers will
completely rebuild the structure,
sometimes in a single night.
