FARMER KILLS
SELF LAST WEEK
EVIDENCE INDICATES CASE
OF SUICIDE WITH
JUNEMAN

Gregor Juneman, a we'll known far
mer in the town of Mcmillan, was
found dead week ago yesterday at
his farm which is located about two
and half miles south of Stratford
Peter Leick, brother-in-law OF the
deceased, discovering the body. II
was found that Juneman's lower jaw
was destroyed and that his chest was
badly burned and lacerated. Dyna-
mite caused the death and all the evil
dence obtained indicated suicide.
William G. Meilahn, coroner, made
a hurried trip to the rarm last We'd
nesday when notified of the case but
as every bit of information pointed to
suicide, an inquest was decided un-
necessary. A sister of the deceased,
Mrs. Peter Leick, living quarter of
a mile away from the deceased. said
she heard a report the middle of Tues
day afternoon and the story was cor
roborated by her son, Lloyd Leick, an
eighteen year old youth. The body
was not discovered until Wednesday
afternoon when ii was realized that
Juneman had not made his daily trip
to the creamery.
1t is presumed that Juneman had
the stick of dynamite in his mouth. Its
force is usually downward and only
his jaw and chest are badly effaced.
No known motive for suicide has been
disclosed. Juneman had fine, we'll
stocked farm and was bachelor. He
became very melancholy at times, it
is said, and was sent to Oshkosh to
the state hospital in June, 1901 The
following year he was paroled but in
November, 1903 1t was again found
necessary to confine nm there. In
1904 he was again released and he was
able to go about his business until
1911 when he spent six months again
at Oshkosh. Since that time he has
resided at his farm in the town of Me-
MILAN.

STUMP FULLER
DOES WORK WELL
WAUSAU MEN VISIT PLOT
NEAR MOSINEE ON
FRIDAY

A stump puller, invented by H j.
Ernst, president of the u. S. Land
Reclamation company of Chicago and
manufactured by the Wausau Foun-
dry and Machine company, was seen
in operation last Friday near Mosinee
by r. j. Nickel, j. M. Howarth and d.
A. Caldwell who went down especially
for that purpose. The stump puller
as designed by Mr.. Ernst is simple and
is called the "Self Anchoring" puller
because of the fact that once placed
in position it stays and operates eff
fectively and rapidly.
1t is understood that an application
for patent on the device is now
pending at Washington. In recent
conversation with an interested par
ty who had seen the stump puller and
had asked if more were to be made,
Mr.. Ernst told Mr., Howarth of the
Foundry and Machine company
You'll be making thousand before
the year is up" Mr. Howarth declares
that the demonstration at Mosinee was
IAN agreeable surprise as the puller
took a stump of eight inches in diam
eter easily and next pulled four
stumps at one time, their diameters
oh6iA 8 Aioili SIAs W ClSll ilIOllCS. NSAI
one of twenty-four inches in diane
ter was pulled.
The Wausau men saw the demon
strtiOn about a mile from the village
of Mosinee, where Mr.. Ernst last year
purchased $50 acres of land. He has
this winter been cutting timber on
this property, saving it and then
utilizing the stumps as a by-product.
All stumps are burned and charcoal
made. 1t is understood that he is also
working on a fertilizer to be made
from the ashes obtained from the
stumps and peat.
AS colonization is also in Mr. Ernst's
line, ii is understood that he will di-
vide the $50 acres near Mosinee into
small tracts to be sold to possible set
tiers at Chicago. If the stump puller
lis patented, it is quite likely that it
will be manufactured in this city 9th
er visitors at Mosinee last week were
Walter H. Flieth and j. H. Elliott
who also saw the Self Anchoring pull
er in operation

been without leadership since the de-
parture from the city of Otto J. Krue-

now editing the New London Press.
Mr.. Turner was for maiy years inter-
ested in telegraphy and has since de-
voted much time to a study of radio
work, so that his leadership will be
Invaluable to the many amateurs who

WILL INSTALL
RADIO EQUIPMENT
WAUSAU PEOPLE EAGERLY
AWAIT ARRIVAL OF
RECEIVERS

The Wausau club will have COM
plete wireless telephone equipment
within several weeks, an order having
recently been placed with the Wiscon-
sin Valley Electric company for it.
The radio outfit will be for receiving
only anf TO it will be attached an am
plifier that will make messages and
music audible in the lobby of the
building. A seventy-five foot antenna
is to be arranged extending from the
southwest to the northeast corner of
the Wausau club building. About 100
members of the club have responded
to a request for morey for this pur-
pose and much interest is being shown
lin the proposed equipment.
Other Wausau people have also de-
veioped tremendous desire to in
lstall receiving sets. N. III. Gender,
proprietor of the Crystal hotel, is in
stalling set which the Electric COM
pany is putting in. Amateurs include
adults as we'll as young people and of
recent interest was the curiosity dis
played by several young women, men,
bers of the Y. w. C. A., there also be-
ing a disposition on the part OF the
girls to enjoy radio concerts also. Ac-
cording to f. v. Pryor, of the Electric
company, 1t is next to impossible at
present to obtain complete radio out
fits However, the main equipment
can be had after reasonable length
OF time. The Magnibox company, man
ufacturing amplifiers for these instru-
ments is said to be about $4,000 900
behind in filling orders. At a cost of
only S25 to $3.50 apiece this is some
what of an indication to what extent
the wireless telephone receiving set
has been popularized within a few
months.
As has previously been mentioned in
The Pilot, many amateurs in Wausau
have been meeting with success in
their radio experiments. The receiving
OF addresses proves exceedingly inter-
esting and in many cases is of an in
structlve and educational nature. The
Wisconsin Valley Electric company
has been meeting with excellent sue
cess in receiving music and messages
with its present equipment. On many
evenings persons who have beer
aware OF this equipment have visited
the Electric company offices and have
listened in"

WANT EQUALITY
IN ASSESSMENT
TO BE AIM OF ASSESSOR
IN WORK OF NEXT
TWO MONTHS

During the next two months George
Steltz, city assessor, will be exceed
ingly busy. The tax roll is made up
between May first and the first Mon
day in July and it is generally be.
lieved that the office will apply all it's
energy to an equalization of assess
ments, which at the present time are
conceded to be unsatisfactory. IN
many instances assessments viii have
to be increased while there are some
properties that are comparatively over
valued.
We are now trying to work out a
plan, similar to that used by re state
income tax commission, whereby
blanks would be furnished to prop
erty holders during the month of
April" declared Mr.. Steltz to repre-
sentative of The Pilot when questioned
about his program for the next two
months
Inclusive Blank
This blank would show original
purchase price of property, improve
ments made and in fact, all details,
personal property and other points
necessary to the assessing of the prop
erty, would be included. We do not
know If this plan can be adopted. that
will be a matter for our city attorney
to ascertain" Mr.. Steltz will this year
have an assistant during tax .oll time
who will help in equalizing assess
mel is.
Asked about his financial program
Tor the new administration, Mayor
Emil Flatter, re-elected last week for
a term of two years, told The Pilot
that he did not care to make any state
ment at the present time hut that
within few weeks he would have
something prepared.
The actual amount collected in tax
es this spring was S9S6,32225 accord
ing to Roy A. Chellis, city treasurer.
City Debt
When asked what the total debt of
the city is at the present time, Mayor
Flatter told a representative that it
was $6S7,000 This. however, does not
include current liabilities of last year.
amounting to S150.000 The>total in
debtedness is thus brought to SS37 600.
With the collection of taxes this year
the S150,000 debt entailed last year,
made up of money borrowed from
the banks for administrative purpos-
es, will be paid, and an additional $780,
600 will be applied on outstanding
bonds. A sum of $4,000 is also to be
applied on other city debts At the
end OF the present fiscal year then.
the debt will be S65S.000 unless it is
again necessary to borrow currently

Tokugawa Declares
 He Is Satisfied With
 Results of Farley

HONOLULU, Jan. 19-Prince Tok- ugawa, enroute home from the Wash ington conference, in an address here tonight, compared he feelings Of the Japanese delegates on the voyage to Washington three months ago with their present sentiments Referring to the tempestuous voyage of the Kashima Maru, which brought the Japanese delegation to America, Prince Tokugawa said the stress and storms of that voyage reflected the doubts and misgivings of the dele gates. Similarly, the calm seas and delightful weather of the return voy- age, he said, has reflected the sense of peace and security felt by the re- turning members of the party.
 If the conference had achieved no more than the four power Pacific treaty" Prince Tokugawa said, Tit would have been no small achieve ment. But it did far more. It brought Far Eastern problems nearer the so- lution and demonstrated to the world that Japan wants peace and not war. It secured peace for 10 years, a peri cd which it seems probable will be prolonged indefinitely"
 Viscount Shibusawa, Baron Kanda and others also spoke.

 Attitude in Arbuckle Trial

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-Miss Fey Provost. show girl and leading witness for the prosecution, "does not remember" whether she told the truth in the first trial of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle, she testified today in the second trial of the film comedian on manslaughter charge. At the con- clusion of her testimony today, she was ordered to return to court tomor- row. No reason for the order was assigned.
 An hours interruption of the trial because of the cold weather sweeping the state, and which reached into the court room, and the sudden with drawal of Miss Provost from the stand when her alleged inability to remem- Der certain evidence was character ized as hostile" by the prosecution, were outstanding features today. Overcoats were brought to the jurors, but half-hour later a recess was taken when the hostile" attitude Of Miss Provost was developed further and when the court reporters con- plained that their fingers were so stiff with cold that they couIu not take their notes with the necessary speed.
 Miss Provost returned to the stand later. She was asked if Miss Vir- ginia Rappe, whose death was made the basis of the charge against Ar buckle, said "he hurt me" after he was alleged to have fatally injured her at a party in the Hotel St. Fran cis. The witness said she did not
