EXTINCTION OF BEAVER
IN WISCONSIN FEARED

BRENTWOOD, VISA movement is
being made throughout this district of
northern Wisconsin to have the law
on fur-bearing animals changed.
Thomas Devine, conversation warden,
is circulating a petition to have pro-
lection given beaver, otter, raccoon

ing animals from extinction. During
the last year 6,27S beavers were trap
ped in Wisconsin, this being the first
year when the trapping of beavers

Hearings are to be held soon in
cities throughout Wisconsin to advo-
cate complete protection to fur-bear-
ing animals

FROM DEATH BY FIRE

GREEN BAY, Wis.-Thanks to the
quick action of Mrs. John Nelson,
little Marjory Winsberg, 9, will prob
ably live to tell how she was snatched
from death, her clothes a mass of
flames.

carrying out old things to the fire. A
gust of wind snapped the flames
against the girls dress.

the front yard. Mrs. Nelson, who was
passing, grabbed the girl and wrapped
her in a porch blanket taken hastily
from a neighbor's porch. The child
is at a hospital seriously burned, but,
according to doctors, will recover.

treaty OF peace was signed and the
troops were ordered to evacuate. On
the night of departure the fort burned.
Four companies of U. S. troops
came a few months later and a new
fort was built on the ruins of the old
and named Fort Crawford. Buildings
to accommodate five companies were
erected and strong garrison main
tanned. Then followed stirring days
about the old mound. Famous men
came and went. Zachary Taylor, af-
forwards President Taylor, served as
commandant several years. Under
him as lieutenant was Jefferson Davis.
The officers at the Fort and their
families and the fur traders and their
families formed a little ariStocratic
circle whose members rode and dined
and wined and danced and romanced
at Prairie du Chen when all else of
Wisconsin except Green Bay was a
wilderness and the entire northwest
unknown except to the "voyageurs. !"
In this social life Hercules Dousman
and the beautiful wife of Joseph Ro-
lette were leaders. When in 1881 a
new Fort Crawford was completed a
mile farther down the bank and the
became owner of the grounds about
the mound, and there, after his mar
riage to Mrs. Rolette, built the first
fine home in the Upper Valley on the
ruins of the famous fort.
BY then he had become so powerful
a factor that his influence over the
Indians from Lake Superior into the
far Northwest is said to have been alb
N D0,N
his advice in the management of
frontier affairs. At times when all
other means of pacifying the warning
tribes in the territory seemed futile,
he was the only man who could and
dared to act. The Secretary of War
called him, "the most valuable man in
the Northwest"
AS his fortune grew he beautified
his home on the mound and developed
the lands about it into a handsome
estate and came to live with luxury
found nowhere else in the Northwest
at the time. On his death his only
son inherited his great fortune and
with much of the business talent of
his father, conceived plans of vast i'm
provement for the estate In the midst
OF carrying them out he died at an
early age, leaving villa Louis TO MS
five children and widow, daughter Of
General Sturgis.
The new generation further embel-
lished the home and added to it's ira
ditions. In time there came a scatter
ing of the daughters to found homes
of their own elsewhere. The only son
bearing the same name as his father
and granfather remained until recent
years, when, on his decision to go
west to live, the famous old place,
home of wealth and refinement for
three generations was leased to Kee-
watin Academy and was used for sew
eral years as summer home for a
private schools for boys which win
tered in Florida.
The place has been sadly neglected
since the school was lOsed, but the
possibilities for its development into
q fine country club in the hands of it's
new owners are many.

Stock Prices
Lower Despite
A Late Rally
Industrial Issues Suffer
Greatest Losses; Setback
Seems Attributable 90
Internal Market Factors

Responding to invisible influences,
speculative security prices reacted
Sharply yesterday. In the last half
hour of trading they recovered part Of
their losaes, but nevertheless the nat
reeessions were substantial in the caas
OF both railroad and industrial issues,
particularly the latter.
The decline was very largely the re-
suit OF speculative maneuvers based IN
a reading of the meaning of last
weeks fluctuations, when under the
cover of irregularity some Of the more
active shares fell and revealed no ef.
fectlve recuperative power. This con.
dition not only discouraged fresh buy.
ing, but also was looked upon as a
hint that further short selling would
be profitable.
The setback in the stock market
seems attributable primarily to inter.
nal factors rather than to outside
news or representations regarding the
future Of trade. The growing com.
mercial and agricultural demands 0,
recent weeks, which resulted from sea.
sonal factors and betterment Of bust.
ness conditions, have increased Dor.
rowings at the banks, and in turr
larger rediscounts at the Federal Re.
serve Banks. Member banks have also
had the option Of increasing thei,
lendable funds through the liquidation
OF holdings Of investments, and This
selling has in part accounted for The
irregularity in the bond market
1 Similarly the investment demand 70,
stocks seems to have grown less q.
business men have more need for CAPT.
tai in their own enterprises.
In the rapid upturn Of industria
stock prices of previous weeks, &C
federated by the new fashion to de-
clare stocks dividends, the seeds of the
/ present reaction were sown. Where
stock dividends invoYved no increase
in the cash dividends the actual gain.
te the shareholders are illusory anc
are often oyerdiscounted.
| Speculative selling was further en-
couraged by continuation in the de-
cline Of the franc, which tumbled tt

Influenced by speculation in the

Larre Government Withdrawal

j. Government balances on deposit with

where they may easily represent an

ket and where withdrawals Of Large
size are to be expected. The state
ment of the Clearing House banks re-
vealed that they had deposits from the
government of more than s1io,0Oo,00o-
and institutions outside that organiga-
tion probably hold a substantial addl-
tional amount. There was no evidence
yesterday, however, of any effect on

nounced would be made to-day.
