FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT

John Slender of AnstOn, Wis, a
young man employed by the Wscon-
sin Public Service company, was fatal
ly injured by coming in contact with a
high voltage wire of the company at
Two Rivers last Thursday noon and
died from the results of his injuries
and the shock, at the Holy Family hos
pital here about o'clock p. m. the
same day, He had been employed by
the company about four years, the
last two years with line crews working
out of the local plant. Thursday he
was working on the lead wires of the
company at Two Rivers and was pre-
pairing to leave the tower where he had
been working. His chest came in con
tact with lead wire carrying $4,000
volts. In falling his foot caught an
angle iron and it became charged and
burned his foot completely off above
the ankle. His chest was also terribly
burned. Doctors worked over him un-
til his death, but it was seen from the
first that death was inevitable.
The body was taken to his mothers
home at Anston Mr.. Slender was to
have been married within few weeks
to Miss Evelyn Hurd of Marnette.
The young mans mother was rushed
here by automobile and reached his
bedside shortly before he passed away.
The local post of the American I.e-
gion took charge of the details of car
ing for and forwarding the remains, as
Slender was an ex-service man.

City ProgreSs.-W With our railroad
communication with the outer world,
| it is hut natural that our citizens
should vie with each other in their in
dividual efforts for the material pros
perity and growth of our city, all
landed property owners saw the neces-
sity of making their localities attrac-
tive, Mr. Fred II. Huebner being Oet
it be recorded) the first one to con
and easy dance house in the basement
of his brick building on the corner of
York and Eighth streets and duly rent
ed the same to Peter Cristman and a
Pole whose name we could not learn.
Armed with a license from the city
authorities, and the necessary Fusil Oil
to keep such machines a-running, they
had what they called an opening on
Saturday night last The music struck
up and the may dance went on, with
an occasional row which was settled
by drink, until about II o'clock,
when the opening commenced in earn
est One fellow opened another's leg
with large dirk knife; he bleeding
profusely, the thirst for blood came
general, those having no knives opened
his next neighbor's head with a beer
glass, pop bottle or whisky bottle,
chairs card tables, hanging lamps, etc.
Those that were badly opened went to
the several doctors and got sewed up.
When the city marshal appeared on the
scene. he ordered the crowd to dis
perse and the only light left Ga tallow
candle) put out, and soon after, our
young and growing city became quiet
once more, and Mr.. Huebner'S first eff
fort to make York street attractive Is
deemed failure. Such are the ca
prices of public opinion that it is even
whispered that tse lity fathers will re-
woke the license of this "Hole in the
Wall" while they are closed for want
of furniture, etc, and that other sa-
looms will share like fate, unless they
go back to the primitive habits, which
prevailed before railroads, telegraph
lines, and other ciyilizing agencies had
crazed their brain. 1t is also intimated
that the Star saloon on Eighth street
which collapsed by implication in the
same row is to be closed Let the good
work go on.

BAtNSCH ON lNHtRlTANcES

Judge Emil Baensch gave a talk, at
the weekly kiwaniS meeting on a sub
iect on which. among others, he is one
of the best informed authorities in
Wisconsin, the history of the changes
in the laws respecting the wife's right
to participate in the estate of de-
ceased husband and vice versa. 1t was
an interesting narrative, a dry subject
being enjoyable by the speakers we'll
known felicity of expression, clarity of
thought, and easy speaking manner.
He sketched the struggle in WiScon-
sin for justice for the widow down to
recent great changes, and then explain
ed in detail the effect of these. The
last great change, in effect only since
September, 1921, was to define the
widows dover as a one-third outright
lifetime as it was. He said the prog
ress is not complete and that the battle
is to go on until men and women stand
equal in the law in respect to inherit
ing from each other. A further aim is
to provide that in case of small estates
the surviving parent shall inherit to
the exclusion of the children relying
upon parental love for proper use
rather than statutory distribution. The
members probably seldom if ever had
50 much practical information given
them in so brief period, but they
would never have suspected from the
talk the speakers leading part in the
recent changes in the laws which he
outlined.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Rudolph Swoboda and William Stan

Swoboda quit his job and in leaving
took a pair of shoes In ceurt last
week Judge Schmidt faced a problem,

dogs encasing the feet of Swoboda
were the deponent's, They both laid
| claim to the gunboats. Here was a
Quandary, but it did not cause the
court to hesitate a moment. He had
each claimant try them on and the
thing solved itself. Swoboda's feet rat
tied around in them while Stanton

one of these modern orthopedits who
charge $40 pair, mostly for the title,
and he got the pair of kicks. This left
the defeated ltigant in court in his
stocking feet, but the successful suitor
was so pleased with the result that he
generously loaned the cause of the
cause to Swoboda to get to shoe
store, aafter the latter paid the costs
of S5.l6.
The shoes were appraised at $3.50.
