FIRE AT FAIR GROUNDS

The city fire department saved the
county from serious loss last Thurs
daY afternoon when fire threatened to
work severe damage to the stables at
the fair grounds. Fire was discovered
shortly before o'clock in the horse
barns in the northeast corner of the
grounds The fire department was on
the scene promptly but was required to
lay long leads of hose to reach the
blaze The department soon had the
fire under control and kept it confined
to the north end of the blazing barn.
This building is occupied as a repair
shop by the county highway depart
ment and several hundred dollars
worth of small tools were destroyed,
The county trucks stored there were
scorched but not otherwise damaged.
There were county oil storage tanks
nearby which would soon have been
-eached by the flames, but for the
prompt arrival of efficient protection.
The origin of the fire could not be
ascertained. The loss was put at about
50 600

TWO RIVERS OIL COMPANY
GETS GOOD NEWS

\ message received from Frank l.,
Wolf, manager of the Two Rivers
Oil and Gas Company, who is in Usage
county, Oklahoma, indicates that anew
well has just been drilled which prom
iscs to I've a profitable one. The well is
located in q district where wells are
operated by a vacuum process and the
capactyeof the well will not be known
until it has been thoroughly tested This
is the second well drilled on the com
pany's property and while the first well
produces considerable oil, it is not as
productive as was anticipated. 1t is
hoped by the stockholders that the new
well will prove to be a lucky strike.
The company owns considerable Okla
homa oil land and also has leased a
large tract which adioins rich wells and
it is quite likely that some day Jawn d.
will have nothing on Two Rivers folks.
Let MS hope 50 anyway. Two Rivers

BASE BALL

Manitowoc is in the league and all
set, awaiting the cry play ball" Nego-
tiations to have John Herzog take
charge of the team were closed last
week and Mr.. Herzog agreed to take
hold. This means a real ball team here
and real baseball management. The
season opens on May with Green Bay
playing here,
'Mr. Herzog says that with any fan
support from the fans he will guaran-
tee a team that will be in the running
and worthy of support. All the fans
ask is that there be a team that will
give a battle till the third out in the
ninth inning and knowing the posi-
bilities of baseball luck they do not de-
mand any assurances of pennant
winner. The great Stoney McGlynn
now doing two mems work on street
car, as is the custom these days, has
been given a berth as umpire in the
league and will probably cayort around
the diamond on opening day here with
the Indicator. Stoney, even as umpire
is still drawing card
Oshkosh, as well as Waukesha, wants
to come into the Shore league now, but
there is no opening 1t may be that
along about August l there will be q
vacancy or two, but we shall see what

ATTACK WATCHMAN

Paul Lindemann, night watchman at
the new Capitol theater nearing com
pletion found three men proving
around the building early Monday
morning. He inquired of them what
their business was and received a rath-
er sharp reply in the form of blow on
the head with some heavy bludgeon
that stretched him out for the count.
When he came to the men were, of
course, gone. 1t would be a hard prob
lem to attempt to guess what men
should want in the building and why
they should display such violence on
being accosted The problem will be
an acute one with Mr.. Lindemann until
the bump on his head subsidies and
ceases to keep its presence as evident
as it is.

VETERAN DEFENDS LINE FENCE

August Meyer owns the premises adj
joining John Kuhls property on South
Tenth street Just south of Franklin.
Mr. Kuhl claims to have discovered
lately that Mr.. Meyer is foot and a
half on the Kuhl premises with his
barn and fence and Tuesday he pro-
ceeded to demolish the fence and served
notice that the barn must be moved.
Mr.. Meyer is 81 years of age, carried
a musket three years in the civil war
and was in several Of the larger gen
eral engagements. The joy of battle
lighted up his eyes. There was moth
ing feeble in his step as he hurried to
his lawyers, started an eiectment ac-
ton and secured an injunction pre-
venting Kuhl from trespassing on the
foot and a half. But Kuhl had been
busy while Meyer was at the lawyers.
He had torn down the fence and erect
ed one of his own at the place he

Rebs all over the landscape with a bay

threw its remains over onto the kuhl
premises with his compliments. He
says the barn and fence have been on
this line since he acquired the premises
