PART I PAGES i to 8 ALL HOME PRINT VOL. XXXVIII STEVENS POINT, DEC. 15, 1915. NO. 23 DRAGGED JNTO COURT Action Testing Legality of School Consolidation in Buena Vista is Begun.

An action to test the legality of the proceedings of the town board of Buena Vista leading up to following the pretended establishment of consolidated school district No. I in that town on Oct. 15 of this year has been commenced in circuit court by Edward Berry and Charles H. Dorscheid, who, as citizens and taxpayers of the territory affected, represent that faction which is opposed to the movement. Messrs.

Berry and Dorscheid, thru their attorneys, Pfiffner Gallagher, were on Friday, Dec. 10, granted a of certiorari by Judge B. B. Park, under the terms of which F. H.

Huntley, town clerk of Buena Vista, is commanded to certify to the court all papers and records upon which the consolidation order was based. The writ is returnable on Monday of next week. In the petition presented to the court, it is recited that there are no legal records to show that the consolidation of school districts Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 has been made according to law. Among other things it stated that the town board has no jurisdiction to act in the matter because no petition signed by one-third of the legal voters in each of the districts had been filed with Chairman John Berry of Buena Vista.

Upon this allegation rests the balance of the complaint, and the plaintiffs pray that the pretended resolution, order and other proceedings consolidating the four districts be reversed and held for naught. It is stated that it is the intention of the complainants to carry the case to the supreme court if necessary, and also that there are other taxpayers in Buena Vista who are prepared to institute other forms of action if the initial attempt fails. KILLED A WILD CAT. A twenty-two calibre rifle in the hands of Frank Swetalla, a town of Lanark lad, brought down a lynx that measured 4Va feet from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. The lad on Tuesday collected a bounty of $6 from the county clerk, the first reward of the kind that has been claimed in many years in this county.

EXPRESS APPRECIATION. The Ladies Social Union of t-ie Presbyterian church, under whose auspices a bazaar was held December 9, wish to express appreciation for the generous patronage accorded by friends in other churches and by our own people, and to extend a united vote of thanks to all persons for their untiring efforts in making the sale and dinner a success. The old friendships renewed, the new ones formed, the happy faces, and the royal good fellowship that prevailed thru- out the day and evening will long be remembered with pleasure. SANTA CLAUS AT BANK. Old Santa Glaus and a Christmas tree will be special attractions at the Citizens National bank on Friday afternoon, December 24th, from two o'clock on, and every boy and girl in Stevens Point and vicinity is invited to call and receive a generous portion of sweet meats at the expense of the institution.

Cashier C. S. Orthman, observing that nothing has been done toward a community Christmas tree, decided to step into the breach and he is anxious to have every youngster roundabout accept his invitation. A VETERAN CONDUCTOR. Patrick H.

Pendergast, Former Stevens Pointer, Dies at Winona, Minnesota. An illness of less than a week proved fatal to Patrick H. Pendergast, a. boyhood resident of Stevens Point and who began his railroad career as an employe of the old Wisconsin Cen- tarl, at his home in Winona, last Saturday night. After leaving this city years ago Mr.

Pendergast became a conductor on the Chicago Northwestern railway, with headquarters at Plainview, Minn. Fourteen years ago he was transferred to the main line of the same road and was given a passenger run between Tracy and Winona, with the last named city as his headquarters. At the time of his death he was one of the company's oldest conductors and also one of the best known. Mr. Pendergast died from the effects of pneumonia, and he made two trips over his run before the serious nature of his condition became apparent.

He made his last trip on the Sunday preceding his death. Many present residents of Stevens Point and vicinity remember "Patsy" Pendergast and there is no one with whom he was acquainted who will not personally regret his death. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Pendergast, pioneer residents of this city, and was about sixty years of age.

In 1885 he was married to Miss Maggie flrowley at Robinson, who, one daughter, Katherine, survives. He also leaves six brothers and sisters, as follows: Miss Kate and Simon Milwaukee; Edward, Ashland; James Griffin, Fifield; Mrs. Nellie Savage and Mrs. Julia Whittom, city. IPM PREPARE FOR BISHOP.

DEATH ATJWN HANDS Town of Dewey Farmer, Sick and Despondent, Fires Fatal Bullet Into Abdomen. Despondent and in poor health, Theodore Kieliszewski, aged 42, a town of Dewey farmer, took his own life Sunday morning, when he fired a bullet into his abdomen. Kieliszewski arose at the usual time Sunday and stated he was going to church.

His wife, noticing that he did not seem well, suggested that he hitch up a horse and go to the city with her and see a doctor. Shortly afterward he went to the barn, presumably to act on the suggestion. While he was there his ten year old son heard a shot, and running into the house summoned his mother. Mrs. Kieliszewski hastened to the barn to find her husband writhing upon a pile of hay.

The mortally wounded man was removed to the house, where he died less than two hours later, before the arrival of a doctor who was called from this city. Coroner H. D. Boston, District Attorney W. F.

Owen and Sheriff Merrill Guyant went out to the farm in the afternoon and conducted an investigation. They ascertained that Kieliszewski had not been in the best of spirits for some time and other circumstances that pointed plainly to suicide. As a result no inquest was deemed necessary. The weapon which Kieliszewski chose to end his life was a 32 calibre revolver. One shell was discharged, while another had been struck by the firing pin but did not explode.

Kieliszewski is survived by his wife and five children, the oldest 13 years of age and the youngest 15 months. He also leaves his mother, Mrs. Mary Kieliszewski, and five brothers and sisters, Mrs. Cecelia Belino, Mrs. Victoria Ceplina, Frank Kieliszewski Valentine Kieliszewski and John Kieliszewski, all of Dewey, and Lawrence Kieliszewski of this city.

The funeral was held from St. Casimir's church in Hull at 9 o'clock this morning. STOP DRAINAGE WORK. After digging about six miles of ditches in what is known as the Jordan marsh in the towns of Stockton and Hull, the Wisconsin Drainage Co. has suspended operations for the winter, owing to the advent of the cold weather.

The balance of the work, which is a small part of the whole, will be completed next spring. The ditching has been done by individual contract. NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED. The receipts of the sale and cafeteria supper given at the Presbyterian church last Thursday afternoon and evening by the various ladies' organizations were $385, making the event the most successful in the history of the church. Nearly $100 was taken in at the supper alone, while the receipts at the various booths and the other attractions were correspondingly large.

A handkerchief from Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the president, and Mrs. Kellogg, wife of the United States senator from W. Virginia, were sold at a dollar apiece. Mrs. P.

F. Stallman solicited the gift from Miss Wilson, who accompanied it with her personal card and greetings. A number of useful articles left over from the sale are being sold at the Mayme Geary millinery shop. FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON. Remains of Theodore Home Brought to Old Home and Buried in Forest Cemetery.

The remains of Theodore Home, a boyhood and young manhood resident of Stevens Point, arrived in the city at 5:30 o'clock last evening and were taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Home, 629 Dixon stree. Mr. Home died at a hospital in Elgin, 111., last Saturday morning, following a long illness with a form of paralysis that followed a sunstroke.

His home was at Melrose Park, 111., where he was employed as shipping clerk by the Melrose Transit Co. before becoming ill. He was a patient at the Elgin hospital for several weeks. The deceased was 36 years of age and was born and grew to manhood in this city. He attended the public schools here and later learned the trade of iron molder, being employed at both the Central City Iron Works i and the old John Rice foundry.

He went to Chicago about fifteen years ago, but for the past six years lived I in Melrose Park, a suburb of that city. Besides his parents he leaves a widow and eight brothers and sisters: Miss Isabelle, Edward, Charles and I Daniel Home of this city; Walter, who teaches at Green Bay, Miss Florence, who teaches at Redgranite, Mrs. G. W. Putz, Brainerd, and Henry of Beloit.

There are also three step children, Carl, Henry and Julia McGregor. The remains were accompanied here by the widow and Mr. and Mrs. Henry and daughter, Bonita. The funeral services were held at the residence at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Rev.

John A. Stemen of the Presbyterian church officiating. Interment was in Forest cemetery. All of the brothers and sisters attended and the five brothers and Charles Scholl served as pallbearers. EPIDEMIC IS BROKEN Grip Germ, After Running Amuck in City, Seems to be Beating a Retreat "The worst since 1888," asserted one Stevens Point physician in discussing the epidemic of grip from which the city now seems to be recovering.

That he was right is evidenced by the fact that, every school and a large percentage of the business institutions of the city have felt the effects of the malady; in fact the home that escaped without having one or more victims of the bothersome germ might be termed lucky. A rough estimate places the number of people affected at 500. That the epidemic has been broken is indicated by the attendance at the schools. At the Normal a week ago the percentage of absentees was 25, while it is now down to 5. A week ago there were 84 students absent from the High school, while yesterday afternoon the number was 42.

Similiar improvement is reported from the other schools of the city, public and parochial. The disease seems to have been of a mild form, almost without exception, but the number of victims requiring medical attention was sufficient to keep the doctors busy night and day. The dry weather that preceded the recent fall of snow, and the dusty atmosphere that resulted, are attributed as the cause of the epidemic. FIRST OR LAST? Win Rothman is authority for the statement that there was at least one robin in Stevens Point yesterday morning. While in the yard at the home of his mother, 527 Clark street, Mr.

Rothman was greeted by a series of merry chirrups and glancing up he was surprised to see on a branch of a small tree one of the feathered "harbingers of spring," apparently unmindful of the near-zero weather. What puzzles Mr. Rothman is whether it was the first robin or the last. GREETINGS FROM IOWA. L.
