GAS GENERATED IN
CLOSE GARAGEI is
CAUSE OF DEATH

Carbon monoxide gas, generated in
an i'll ventilated garage by the ex-
haust of an automobile engine, caused
the death of Frank Luechow last
Thursday evening, November "a, 1921,
at his home, 329 Third avenue N. The
deceased had gone to the garage about
seven o'clock in the evening with the
intention of testing the battery of his
car.
1t was about twenty minutes later
when Mrs. Luebchow noticed the con-
tinued racing of the motor and be-
came alarmed. She found the garage
dark and full of fumes from the ex-
haust, and called neighbor who
shut of the motor and lighted a lam
tern. Mr.. Luebchow was found on the
floor.
A physician was called at once and
established the fact that death was
due to inhalation of carbon monoxide
gas. In falling, Mr.. Luebchow had
struck his head on projection of the
wall and cut his scalp. Coroner VIM.
G. Meilahn was called and upon in
yestigation decided that death was
purely accidental and that an inquest
was unnecessary.
The deceased was thirty-nine years
Of age, born March 3, 1882, in the
town Of Maine. On October 2l, 1905
he was united in marriage with Miss
Martha Neuman and the family has
lived in Wausau for the past sixteen
years. Funeral services were con-
Quoted Monday afternoon at the fam
lily home at one-thirty o'clock and at
st. Stephens church at two o'clock.
The Rev. William Spiegel officiated
and interment took place in Pine
Grove cemetery.
Surviving are the widow and a
daughter, Helen three sisters, Mrs.
Robert Treu Of this city, Mrs. Robert
Fitzke Of the town of Maine, and Mrs.
Arthur Bruhn of Milwaukee, and two
brothers, Herman and Otto Luebchow

GRAIN SHOW WILL
BE HELD DECEMBER
13 AND IA IN CITY

Arrangements have been completed
to hold the annual Marathon county
grain show at Wausau, on December
13 and IA, at the city hall, under the
auspices of the Wausau Pure Bred
Grain Growers club, cooperating with
the county agents office. The grain
show is being financed by the bankers
and merchants of the county Four
hundred dollars is being offered in
cash and merchandise prizes. There
will also be attractively lettered rib
bons, including special sweepstake
ribbons.
This will be one of the few times
in the history of Marathon county
when products from all over the coun-
ty will come in competition at a spec
ial grain show.
1t is the aim to make this the big
gest grain show ever held in northern
Wisconsin. County pride should
prompt every farmer to prepare some
exhibits Every exhibit should be
carefully marked with the exhibitors
name and address, the quality of grain
or other produce.
The 1920 and 1921 crops may be
used. One peck grain samples, fifty
potatoes for one sample, are to be pre-
paid. Farmers living some distance
directly to the county agent, w. j.
Rogan, Wausau, marked, For the
Grain Show Premium lists and pos
ters will be distributed throughout
all the banks in the county.

The river above the city is all frozen

to hold weekly meetings. The large

tion and the advice to teachers to be
careful about changing their methods
unless the memory of the pupil is
aided.

DIRECTORS HOLD
FIRST MEETING
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE is
LED BY DIR. SMITH
FOURTH YEAR

The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce met at the Office of the sec
retary Tuesday evening and elected
the following officers:
President-Dr. Joseph f. Smith.
Vice President Manufacturers P.
NJ Wilson
Vice President -(Retailers) Henry
j. Seim
Treasurer-W Del Curtis.
These officers together with John NJ.
Lull, S. B. Tobey, Guy Gooding and
X. A. Tinker form the executive body.
The two or three year plan of pro-
cedure for the Chamber of Commerce
was suggested and this plan will no
doubt be submitted to the members
through referendum vote. At the
same time each member of the Cham
Der of Commerce will be asked to sug-
gest some plan for the good of the
city or community. 1t is hoped that
by this method the new executive COM
mittee will not only be assisted in
choosing its course but also that the
best ideas and plans can in that way
be brought before the governing body.
Another suggestion brought out at
the meeting was the fact that in the
past many Vi Iue important accom-
plishments of the Chamber of Com
merce had gone by without notice be-
cause of the fact that the members
We're given no information as to what
had been accomplished. The directors
plan this year to keeu the membership
at large well posted on the work of
the organization.
Several questions were asked by the
Chamber of Commerce in it's recent
bulletin, which members are expected
to answer. The first reads: what do
you expect the Chamber of Commerce
to do for the promotion of your own
line of business or activity?' and the
second: What in your. opinion, is
the most important thing to be done
for the good of Wausau as a commu-
nity?7

FORMER RESIDENT
STILL SPEAKS OF
WAUSAU AS HOME

"We still talk of Wausau as home
and hope some time to get back If on
ly for a visit" II. l.. Crandall, formerly
of this city writes friend from his
home IL the west. "We have a tenn
porary home in Lewiston, Mont, that
we enjoy while here, but it was not
our intention to make this our per-
manent abode. Mrs. Crandall and
have been unusually we'll. We have
been having some regular winter
weather the past few days. Tuesday
it was eight below at 200 a. m. forty
fEe above at noon and thirty-five
above at $500 p. m. This will give
you an idea of the sudden changes
in Montana. Snow very seldom stays
on the ground only a few days at a
time. | would not be surprised TO
see the mercury go TO seventy above
today or II may drop" Mr.. Gran
dali tells of attending a recent meet
ing at Lewiston when the Rev. Hirst.
formerly pastor of st. Johns Episco-
pal church of this city, spoke. Rev.
Hirst is now located at Lewiston.

The passing of Mrs Winkelman has
meant the loss Of woman of very
charitable and philanthropic disposi-

community 1t was eleven years ago
that Mr.. and Mrs. Winkelman came to
Wausau from Manistique, Michigan,
where they had been making their

FALL DOWN ON RED
CROSS CAMPAIGN m
COUNTY THIS YEAR

Although reports are not yet avail
able as to the number of members of
the Red Cross obtains in all of the
villages of Marathon county, the in
dication this far is that only one-third
of the total number of members want
ed have joined. 1t was the object of
the workers to obtain a total mem
bership of S600 The city Of Wausau,
thus far, reports only 700. When all
reports are in. the figure will prob
ably reach 1000 The campaign of
the Salvation army which came a
little earlier, is believed to have in
creased the difficulty of selling Red
Cross memberships.
The campaign of the Marathon Coun-
ty chapter Of the Red Cross was in
charge of the Boy Scouts, both in the
city of 'yausau and in Marathon coun-
ty.
Many persons have, of course, been
missed in the solicitation and it is
hoped that they will forward their
check for S1.00. renewing their men,
bership for another year.
