CLINIC TO BE HELD
ON JANUARY TWELFTH

The third Maternity and Child Wei
fare Clinic for this vicinity viii be
held at the Court House on Friday.
January 5, when DR.. Mildred Van
CleVe and Miss Boyes will again be
here. Twelve examinations were made
at the December Clinic, and it is hop
ed by those in charge that an even
greater number will come to the next
one.
Miss Boyes states that they can
take care of from thirty to forty
cases in day and the people should
avail themselves Of this opportunity
to secure free examination and ad-
vice on important matters Of health.
1t is not alone the children of the
poor who need the examinations that
are given, she says. Many children
in the better equipped homes are la
boring under unsuspected handicaps.
The age from two to six is an age in
which the average child is neglected
as to health.
At one clinic in a neighboring coun-
ty recently, thirty-two people were
examined and of these nearly half
were in need of medical attention or
of immediate treatment for defects.
These clinics are held under the ma
tional Welfare Bureau, and the funds
are provided by the Federal and State
governments and local organizations
working together.
Folks, you are not usually bashful
about telling your friends and neigh
bors about your ailm ants. These doc
tors and nurses are trying to be your
confidential friends and neighbors, and
with the added advantage that they
are experts who are able to give you
sound advice. It is one of the few
free things that are worth anything
Why not take advantage of it?
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1922-12-28

prehenslon of the criminal. The pos
tai clerks in the Marshfeld post Of
fee and the carriers who handled the
peculiar-shaped package directed as
Christmas package to Mr.. Chapman,
are able to testify as to its source and
its course through the mails.
All these evidences are said to point
toward neighbor of the Chairman
of the Town, who is also chairman of
the Wood County Drainage Board.
This neighbor has been an opponent
of Mr.. Chapman's work on the drain
age Board, and his bitter antagonist
on several occasions.
1t is hard to conceive of anyone so
bitter against a man so active and
progressive as Mr.. Chapman in public
affairs, IN the community, who would
commit so fendish an act, and it is
sincerely to be hoped that there is no
such person. But if there be one, no
matter how nearly associated with
Mr.. Chapman he may be, the deter
mlnation has been aroused that will
surely result in the early punishment
of the infamous crime.
James Tarr, grandson of the Chap
mans, was the only other person in
the house at the time the bomb explod-
ed, and was in the room with them,
but escaped with minor scratches. He
was terrified and hysterical, but man
aged to seize the telephone and call
Ole Gilberts, who operates a general
store at Klondyke, a mile from the
Chapman home Tarr exclaimed "For
Gods sake, come up here" Gilberts
rushed to the home and found the
Chapmans lying on the floor in pool
of blood
They were taken to a hospital at
Marshfield where they received treat
ment.

j. A. Chapman Seriously Injured and
Mrs. Chapman Killed BY
Internal Machine

j. A. Chapman, Chairman of the
Town of Cameron, a member of the
County Board of Wood County for
several years, and now serving his
second term as Chairman of the Coun-
ty Board, received a bomb through
the mail at his farm home in the town
of Cameron Wednesday afternoon at
three o'clock, which exploded in his
hand, severely injuring both him and
Mrs. Chapman.
Mrs. Chapman died before she could
receive hospital treatment for. her
wounds and latest reports are that
Mr.. Chapman is SO weakened by loss
of blood that he may not survive. One
hand was SO badly hurt that it had
to be amputated, and it was at first
thought that the left leg would also
have to be taken off.
The bomb came by parcel post thru
the postoffice at Marshfield and was
delivered by the rural carrier who
serves the route on which Mr.. Chap
man lives.
District Attorney Frank w. Caik-
ins and Undersheriff C. w. Bluett
went to the Chapman home and to
Marshfeld Thursday morning to in
vestigate the affair. Postal Inspectors
We're notified and two inspectors, VIM
J. Fahey and E. L. Williams, of Chi
cago, FASTENED to Marshfeld to aid
in the Investigations. The bomb,
of which several pieces were found,
seems to have been a home made af-
fair, consisting of a piece of iron pipe
and some blocks of wood, furnishes
certain clues which direct suspicion
and will probably lead to the eadly ap-
