HEAVY WIND GOES DAMAGE

Wisconsin was visited by a violent
storm last Friday afternoon. Forum
ately this locality was merely brushed
by the tail of the terrific wind that
swept across the southern half of the
state. Even with this qualification it
was a pretty heavy blow and rain fell
in torrents for short time. The rain
was badly needed but the wind might
well have been dispensed with. A few
telephone poles, chimneys and trees
were blown down here. Sheboygan
received nearly the full force of the
wind and considerable damage was
done there. At Oshk osh feet of l3
racing yachts were caught in the squall
and all overturned with no one lost.
All cities in the southern and western
parts of the state reported damage.

ACCUSED OF THEFT AND BIGANY

Elmer Timm, a ManitowOc young
man, was arrested at Watertown, Wis
consin, last week and taken to Grand
Rapids, Michigan, on charge of steal
ing an automobile, with the additional
belief given out that he is a member
of a gang of automobile thieves who
operated extensively through the mid
die west. His arrest was said to have
ben brought about by relations made
to the police by a former Chiffon girl
who says she was married to Timm at
Buffalo, New York, in March, 1919.
When arrested he was accompanied
by a Catherine Strum of Milwaukee.
AS Timm has a wife here at Manit0-
woe this all makes his domestic re-
lations IA bit tangled. He was divorced
from his first wife, and was free to
marry the other girl at Buffalo in
March, 1919, but if he did so he was
not free to re-marry his ManitOwOc
wife later, which he did.
A Hazen Smith of Milwaukee whom
Timm is reported to have implicated
in the automobile thefts retaliated by
accusing Timm of having regular
Brigham Young assortment of four
"wives," but the police do not think
that he has gone through a ceremony
with more than the two mentioned.
Timm was being sought by the
police here as he was known to have
been in the city the Saturday evening
three weeks ago when the hurglaries
at Kadow's, the H. NJ. S. Garage and
the Schmitt Lumber company were
committed The local police will keep
tab of events at Grand Rapids and will
want an interview with Timm if he
escapes the tolls over there.

DOUBT SOLDIERS STORY

Last weeks narrowing tale of
wounded soldier being abused and
robbed by brakeman at Cleveland in
this county may be true, but if the tale
was correct in main it was faulty as
to location.
The c. & n w. officials to whom
report was made and who made in
yestigations of the alleged facts say
that only one freight train passed
through Cleveland on the night in
question and that it was going over 80
miles per hour as it passed through,
They further say that upon their in
quiry Phillips, the soldier, said that he
was not assaulted, but that he had
been relieved of a gold watch. The
local people who befriended him are
not at all sorry they did so, although
their sympathies seem to have been
played upon little by the travellers
gift of imaginative recital.

STANDINGS OF TEAMS

Effective twirling by Jimmy Dodge,
spitball thrower, enabled Milwaukee
Red Sox 70 upset Two Rivers, in a
whitewash game in the Lake Shore
league, to 0. Dodge permitted only
six batsmen to hit safely, but Schultz
and Thornton, battery for the losers,
worked just as well. Schultz was as
stingy as his rivals and allowed only
six safe swats. Artic BueS of the Red
SoX hit for the circuit.
Manitowoc defeated Sheboygan at
Manitowoc, 6 to 3. Braun, pitcher
and cleanup batter for the losers, was
fought for nine hits, while Crutcher,
twirling for the victors, virtually won
his own game by swatting safely four
times and giving only four hits. He
famed nine.
Juneau shut out Green Bay at Green
Bay, to 0. Logan was invincible
on the hill for the victors, working
wonderfully in the pinches. Wooten
pitched well for Green Bay, but
Juneau hit when swats meant runs.

ROAD TRAFFIC CENSUS
A TAXPAYER

On last Sunday between u o'clock A,
NJ. and II o'clock =. NJ. tally was kept
for traffic statistic purposes OF the
number and charcter Of vehicles pass
ing Four Corners, about three miles
from the city where routes 10 and Is
diverge.
OF 1856 vehicles there were horse
drawn milk wagons and 8 buggies. The
rest we're motor driven.
OF the passenger cars and 1920 were
Wisconsin cars and l59 we're foreign
cars. The balance OF the motor vehicles
was made up ~ " trucks and 64 motor
cycles.
This Is not particularly heavy traffic.
Big attractions at Silver Lake and
Shoto and the cal OF the fine weather
TO Route II along the lake shore may
have cut down traffic for the day.
These figures are official for that
place on that day. One indication is
umistaksble and that Is tina. old Dob.

for score OF years, has Ipsssed as a
Sunday or holiday means OF transporta.

WON'T PAVE AT TWO RIVERS

Two Rivers is having the same
trouble as Manitowoc in trying to col
lect from the Traction company the
share of the cost of street improve
ments assessed against it, The com
pany last week addressed to the Two
Rivers city council a communication Of
the same tenor as the message filed
here, setting up that it is losing money
at rapid rate and will throw up its
hands and quit before it will pay any
part of the cost of street Surfacng
The mayor named a committee to con
fer with Manitowoc officials relative
to the situation. City attorney Teitgen
and City Engineer Alter were at Madi-
son last week and conferred with the
State Railroad Commission in regard
to the local Traction company matter,
and while there took up also the
troubles of the city with the Gas com
pany and the Telephone companyS
petition for higher rates.

BIG JOBS ON FERRIES

A number of the highest officials
of the Pere Marquette Steam Ship Co.,
visited the city last week and inspected
the plant of the Manitowoc Ship
Building Corporation. The steam ship
Co. owns and operates the feet of car
ferry ships which arrive and depart
from Manitowoc daily.
Arrangements have been made for a
large volume of repair work on the
fleet at the Manitowoc yards. The No
10 is already at the yards undergoing
extensive repairs including installation
of new boilers and reconstruction
of engines. An estimate of 100000
is made as the extent of the work to
be done here on the ships this coming
fall and winter. This work alone as
sures the retention of a large force of
employees at the local plant.
The company has had several dis
putes with the city in recent years
arising from damage to city bridges
and several claims by the city are now
pending The officers expressed the
hope that these big contracts placed
here would induce friendly relations
that would prevent the city taking too
e ,treme an attitude toward them as
tone make amicable adjustments diff

wireless station which has been main
tained here since the beginning Of the
war will be discontinued September
lst. Capt Gilmore and the four jackies
who have been in charge will report to
their headquarters. The station was

Work upon the extension of the
north and south harbor piers at this
place is necessarily slow, in conse-
quence of the unusually rough state Of
the lake, there being but few days in
which work can be done. The work
done SO far this season has been as
follows:
Two cribs 32x20 feet have been sunk
at the end of each pier, and two
others, 32x6i feet, are nearly ready
for both piers, 1t is expected that the
superstructure will be all finished by
the 10th or 18th of next month. We
understand that application will be
made, at the next session of Congress,
for an appropriation for breakwater
Along the river above Eighth street
bridge piling is being done, and other
work necessary to make everything
safe and secure for vessels that may
put into this port during the coming
season. ManitOwoc possesses one of
the finest and safest natural harbors
on the lakes, when our railroad is com
pleted, we expect to see our wharyes
lined with shipping, loading with the
grain and other produce which will
naturally seek Manitowoc as its outlet
to the markets of the world.

Mrs. Rose of this city was burned to
death on Sunday afternoon. She was
using a little kerosene oil stove which
caught fire, and the poor woman TO
save the building attempted to carry
the oil stove down stairs. Her cloth
ing caught fire and every stitch Of
clothes was burned off. Even her
stockings were burned. DR.. Pritchard
says IT was one Of the worst cases
of the burning Of human body he
ever saw. She did not suffer as much
as the serious nature of her injuries
might lead one to believe. She died
seven hours after the occurrence of
the accident.
She was an old lady whom every
one respected The poor woman had
a great deal of trouble during her life
from violent deaths of members OF
her family. She was very kint
hearted woman and her unassuminl
honesty and good life made her host,
of friends.
