CAR EMBARGO

Last Thursday, notice of a car en-
barge was received by our lumbermen
which was placed upon all shipments
of forest products. Both of the rail-
roads entering the city also received
orders against the shipmentof lumber
from any point in United States or
Canada to any points east of the Miss
issippi river or north of the Ohio
river excepting for war purposes.
There was considerable difference
in the orders received by each road.
The instructions to the st. Paul road
were such, if enforced would work
great hardships to our institutions i'm
general. Those to the Northwestern
permitted the shipment of raw ma
terial to mills and factories for man
ufacture, which makes vast differ
ence, and if it is the intent Of the
government, will give our Institutions
a chance to get in material to keep
them going.
Until the embargo is lifted, it " III

ENNIS KRUGER KILLED
The Two Other krueger Brothers Are
Still at Large
The Country Near Owen Thoroughly Searched But No
Trace Found May Be Aided by Friends

The search for the Krueger's near
Owen, Wis, still continues without
success. Frank Kruger, the brother
who was wounded, has been taken
to st. Joseph's hospital at Chippewa
Falls and the mother is in Jail at
Eau Claire.
The members of the 10th Infantry,
who were called from Wausau to
Owen on Monday, enforcing the 200 or
| more citizens, who were searching the
country, returned Wednesday. Some
of the company came home in the
morning in autos, while the main
body returned Wednesday afternoon
by train, leaving a guard of six men
at the farm, who returned here Thurs
day afternoon. They bring the story
OF prosperous farm family, with
home, stock and farm worth some
$4,000. On religious and other prin-
clples, they were opposed to the war.
and four boys evaded the draft-two
registered and failed to present them
selves wheel called and the other two
failed to register. When the officials
appeared to make arrests, the battle
ensued, which resulted in the killing
OF Harry Jensen, depot agent at
Wlthee, and the wounding of five
others. All will live, it is thought
but Emil Liano, who was very serious
ly wounded.
The funeral Of Jensen took place on |
Wednesday, from his home. He
leaves wife and three children.
The large barn which was burned
in the course of the battle, was filled |
with hay, wool, etc., and the loss runs]
up to five or six thousand dollars.
Those of the Wausau company at
the scene of battle say that part of
the country in the neighborhood of
the Kruger farm is a dense jungle,
IL which are numerous windfalls and
much OF it swamp making it diff
cult to get over, however, a great
part of the forest was covered by the
10th Infantry.
While the company were at the
Kruger farm, every young man who
passed the guards was asked to pro-
duce his registration card, in this way
a number were rounded up who did
not have them. Two from Wausau,
who could not show cards were Jesse
G. and A. F. Drost. They were handed
over to the Deputy U. S. marshal.
Emil Laino, who is in the hospital
says: 81 with other citizens of Withee
went to the Kruger home after they
resisted the authorities who went to
The place to get them to register.
The Kruger family was barricaded
in the house and were firing in all
directions. l crawled on my hands
and knees, concealing myself as good
as possible in the long grass, toward
