Charles Castaldo, an ll-year-old resident
OF Lynn, Mass has the great ambition to
become president OF the United States when
he grows up. Most boys OF this age and OF
whatever station in life look forward to the
time when they can be engineers or police
men. So it may be accepted that young Cas-
taldos gaze has been elevated early in life,
and while the desire to amount to something
above the ordinary is indeed worthy the
Massachusetts boy may meet some disap-
continents in his chosen career.

Face Serious Charge is the
Report.

The Wisconsin News of this
week states that Clark G. Kinney,
former Oneida county banker-far-
mer, is now in Jail at Fit. Meyers,
Florida, awaiting extradition to
Illinois where he will be tried
for embezzlement and alienation
of the affections of a New Orleans
society star.
The story as given out by the

the charges against Kinney are
proven will be rather severe
against him. Clark Kinney h a s

where he has been in the potato
business, and during that time has
been lodging officers who had the
case Of the lady in hand. He will be
brought to Illinois where he will

HAS SECOND DISASTER
Storms in jackson County
Resembles the Terrific One
in 1922.

The tornadoes that swept through
parts of Jackson and Trempealeau
counties Thursday says the Wau-
sau Pilot, constituted the second
such disaster in that part of Wis
consin in little more than two
years.
Six persons were killed, scores
were injured and more than $1,000,
600 damage was done by a tornado
that tore through parts of St.
Croix, Polk, Barron and Dunn
counties June Is, 1922.
The storm then struck a few
miles west of Glenwood City and
swept north and east, killing an
aged man and a child in the town
of Forrest, eight miles north of
Glenwood City, and four other per-
sons near Prairie Farm. Two
churches were leveled and the
steeples of others were carried
away.
The tornado died down 10 miles
northwest of Prairie Farm.
Most of the damage was to prop
erty in Forrest township. Many
head of cattle we're killed and
scores of homes blown down.
Eleven persons were killed in the
vicinity OF Lone Rock, in Richland
county, by tornado in May, 1918.
The property damage was about
$5OO,OOO.
In July, 1907, a tornado swept
across the state from F on d du
Lac county through Elroy to the
Tomah district of Monroe county,
killing Fl persons.

ON SHOOTING CHARGE
Found Lake Resident in Jail
Charged With Shooting a
Neighbour.

Chas. Kuhn, former town officer
of the town of Pennington, who
resides near Found lake is in the
Villas county Jail charged with as
sault with intent to murder one
K. G. Mazer, a resident of Chicago
who has summer home on the
Kuhn property. The shooting oc-,
Cured about 1870 Monday evening,
and Mr.. Mazer is now in t h e
Rhinelander hospital suffer-
erlng from a revolver wound in
his leg.
The story of how the shooting
took place resulted from lease
of ground from Kuhn to Mazer
some years ago. 1t is said that
Kuhn claimed that Mazer did not
follow the precepts of the life
lease of the property and bad
feeling on the part of Kuhn
toward the Mazers is said to have
resulted and finally lead to the
shooting.
The wound resulted from re-
volver shot, the bullet striking
Mazer near the hip and ranged
downward to about the knee. An
X-ray at Rhinelander showed the
bullet resting near the knee :.
From the location of the wound,
Mr.. Maker was shot while his back
was toward the man with the re-
volver. The wound is not danger
Gus and he is getting along nice
ly.
Mr.. K hn was brought to
Eagle River yesterday and waiv-
ing examination was bound over
under a $4,000 bond to circuit
court. Unable to give the bond
he is now in the county Jail.

TRIES TO CUT THROAT
Lnmberjack Wanders for
Days in Woods in Wound
ed Condition.

After wandering in the woods
north of Star Lake from Monday
morning until Wednesday after
noon of last week, without food or
any attention, a lumberjack named
Walter Janutes who had been in
the employ of the STANCE Lumber
Company at Camp Four, finally re-
turned to camp and asked for
help. He was brought to Eagle
River that afternoon and given
medical attention.
At the logging camp early Mon
day, razor with blood upon it
was found in an clubhouse and
with a trail of blood leading away
from camp into the woods, caused
the men IN camp to institute a
search for Janutes last seen in the
building. He was followed for some
distance but trace of him was fin
ally lost. During the day and the
day following he was seen by
workmen, but they could not cap
ture him. Again Wednesday fore
noon he came to camp and asked
for medical attendance.
Janutes from what he said at
camp had evidently attempted to
kill himself. His throat was cut
bad enough for the wound to lie
open, but not deep enough to sew
Ell the jugular vein. While the
loss Of blood was rather severe,
still when brought over to Eagle
River, did not seem much worse
for the cutting and exposure out
doors for three days without food.
He is evidently insane.

starting the affair at 7:30 sharp.
The bout is to be best two out Of

at that it is we'll for the voters to

Speeders in Trouble.

With a motorcycle cop or two
in this county speeders are having
rather hard time of getting
away with lawless driving. Quite
a number have met the honorable
judges face to face within the
past few days and either had their
sentence or were given chance
to drive in a sane and safe man
ner. Too much pep with your
foot pressing the pedal down to
boards of a car, often times brings
disaster to the driver or someone

Burned Cross at Tomahawk.

DO1lOu OAUSS DIT 4OAAdHdW hs
A fiery cross burning on the bank
Of the Wisconsin river just east
of the Fourth street camp site last
Friday evening, attracted the at
tention Of many, says the Tom
ahawk Leader The cross was
made of a large tamarack log with
birch cross arm, was wrapped
with the usual burlap and soaked
in kerosene. Tt was lit about 1890.
Tourists in the camp stated the
next day that near midnight a con-
course of cars drove to the spot,
stopped a few minutes and left
again. Whether it was a meeting
of the Ku Klux Klan or not could
not be verified. On Saturday even
ing what was at first supposed to
be another fiery cross was found
burning on top Of the water tank
and called out the fire department
but the fire boys were content to
let it burn out when they found
it was only an old auto casing.
Other crosses were burned last
week atMerrill, Wausau and Glea-
son which leads one to believe that
the Khan may be active in this
vicinity after all.

CAMP STOVE EXPLODED
One Burned to Death and
Two Badly Hurt at Hazel
hurst.

The silhouette of man burned
In the grass near one of the Rum
cry cottages on Lake Katherine,
Hazelhurst, Wisconsin, marks the
scene of one of the most tragic
accidents in the history of the
North Woods, which cost Andrew
Zech, SO, of Milwaukee, his life,
andresulted in serious injury to
Henry Zuehlke and Miss H. Stamm
also of Milwaukee, when camp
stove exploded, says The Minocqua
Times in telling of the tragedy.
The accident happened about
1920 while the party were pre-
pairing their dinner last Sunday.
They had placed their camp stove
upon the regular camp stove
furnished with the cottage. After
the camp stove had been lit, box
Of matches which was placed on
the edge of the stove caught fire,
and in turn lit a newspaper which
was between the camp stove and
the kerosene stove. Andrew Zech,
realizing w h a ad happened,
grabbed fire extinguisher to put
out the blaze, but the extinguisher
failed to work, and the fire Of
the paper heated up the gasoline
tank of the camp stove and caused
it to explode.
Zech, who was nearest the stove,
was completely covered with flames
and jumped out of the window in
order to get to the lake. How
ever, his jumping into the air fan
ned the blaze and increased his
suffering as he lay burning in the
grass. The heat from the flames
about his body were so intense
that they burned the shape of a
man into the grass where he lay.
Aid was Immediately summoned
by Mre Charles Runnery who
heard the screams of the victims,
and as a result, DR.. Torpy of Min
ocqua and Doctors Eaton, Willard
and Winneman who are staying
at Hazelhurst, arrived in a few
minutes to administer aid.
All of the victims of the ex-
plosion were rushed to the Rhine
lander hospital where Mr.. Zech
died the next day. Miss Stamm is
still in aserious condition, but it
is thought she will recover.
All of the people in the party,
H. 7. Zuehlke, G. Zuehlke, Andrew
Zech, Mis- ]. Klug, Miss H. Stamm
and E. Stamm, are Of Milwaukee,
except Mr.. and Mrs. ]. j. Noll who
are from Aurora I'll.
