Sheriff Radcliffe was a former resident of the town of Pine Grove, this county. Game Wardens in Northern Part of State Have Lively Experience With Law Breakers From Milwaukee. Game wardens had an exciting experience i two foreigners from i waukee, who have been i i in the near Hayward and having their own way about handling game, says the Chippewa Falls Times.

They are now in jail at Hayward waiting for their trial. The arrest was not made without a gun play and Game Wardens Jacob DeLong of Chippewa Falls and Kirkoff of Eau Claire had a hand in it. The two Milwaukee men had been slaughtering deer and spearing muskrats through their houses on Blaisdell lake for several days and when Game Warden Hulbert got wise he started in pursuit. He met one of the violators in the act of robbing a mask rat bouse and approached him and as he did the fellow pulled a gun and covered the warden, who was quite unprepared for such tactics. The fellow retreated slowly, at the same time keeping the officer under cover with the gun until he reached a sharp turn in the road, then he ran and made his escape.

The game warden learned that the violators lived in a dugout about twenty miles south nf Hayward, so he sent to the Falls for Mr. DeLong and to Eau Claire for Mr. Kirkoff and to another place for another warden, and the four went from Hayward in quest of the bad men. The walked the twenty miles and with their trusty Winchesters ready for quick action, surrounded the dugout and arrested the two violators. A large number of deer parts and musk rat hides were found in the dugout and the wardens will have no trouble in convicting the outlaws.

Valuable and Useful Souvenir. One of the neatest, as well as the most useful, souvenirs or Christmas' remembrances distributed by Stevens Point business houses in many years is now being given to friends and patrons by the Citizens National bank. It is a collapsible drinking cup, made of alluminum, and almost as light as the proverbial feather. "Compliments of Citizens National Bank, Stevens Point, Wis." appears in raised letters on the cover. As the state law prohibits the use of commrn drinking cups on trains, the individual kind is almost a necessity among travelers, and therefore many of those favored by the local institution i find that it "fills a long felt want." MARRIES NORMAL GIRL Razors.

The best in safety razors, together with razor straps, shaving soaps, brushes and mirrors. Select a shaving outfit at Krembs' drug store. He Paid the Costs. Jos. Kiedrowski, 616 West street, was fined $25, and costs amounting to $3.20 in municipal court, Tuesday, for beating his wife, the complaint being made by Mayor Walters, and the arrest made by Officer Hartel.

It is said that i this is not Kiedrowski's first offense i against the law of decency and manhood, and when the -woman came to Dr. Walters' office Monday evening, shortly before six o'clock, for medical treatment, the latter immediately called up the chief of police and ordered the man's arrest. Her face was badly bruised from blows administered by the husband. Kiedrowski paid the costs and the fine was suspended pending good behavior. Howard E.

Ross of This City and Miss Valerie Horan of Mississippi, Married in Chicago. Howard E. Ross of this city and Miss Valerie Horan of Columbus, were married in Chicago at 11 o'clock last Saturday forenoon, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Father McGuire, at the parish residence.

GAIN NEARLY $200,000 In Three Months Portage County Banks Make Big Increase in Deposits- Detailed Statement. No better barometer of conditions in a community can be found than that of bank statements, called for an average of five times per year by the comptroller of the currency and the state bank examiner. That Portage county is exceptionally prosperous is evidenced by the tact that an aggregate of $183,384.03 has been added to the deposits of its nine banking institutions between Sept. 1st and Dec. 5, 1911, the dates on which the last two statements were called for.

This big gain is largely the result of good crops throughout the county-especially the potato yield--and the resulting high prices received by our farmers. Then, too, more of our people are becoming weaned from the silly and decidedly unsafe habit of hoarding their cash in bureau drawers and old tin cans and are putting it in banks either as open accounts or as savings deposits. The nine banks above referred to had on deposit Sept. 1st a total of $2,106..851.90. At the close of business Dec.

5th they reported deposits of loans of $2.140,294 09, and total resources (including capital stock and surplus earnings) of $2,806,921.17. These three items as shown by the several financial institutions of Portage county appear in the following table: Office Hours. The local poetoffice will be open on Christmas the same as on Sunday, from 11:30 to 12:30, and on both days the stands of the city carriers will be placed in the lobby so that all may receive their mail. There will be no general delivery or collection on either day, but on Christmas packages will be delivered by horse wherever possible throughout the city. Rural carriers will make their trip as usual on Christmas.

Died at the Farm. Mrs. L. L. Quimljy, a resident of the town of Pine Grove, died at the county poor farm near Amherst Junction one week ago last Sunday and the body was laid at rest in the adjoining cemetery.

She was an inmate of that institution last winter, but in the spring went to New Lisbon, where she was employed as a housekeeper until September, when she returned, her health being so shattered that she could no. longer hold her position, and for about six weeks previous to her death was confined to her bed. The deceased was a native of New York, coming from that state a few years ago in answer to an advertisement signed hy L. L. Quimby, who wanted a wife, and they were married in Pine Grove.

Quimby later abandoned her, went west and took up a claim. He was found and brought back for trial, being sentenced to three months in state prison by Judge Webb. On being liberated he immediately returned to the west, and at the time of her death Mrs. Quimby was plaintiff in an action against him for divorce. In Velvet Back Frames.

plant, at Medford, arrived in the city last Friday to spend several days visiting his sister and other relatives here and Linvvood township. Mr. Sahm and Ed. F. Giese, the first named a former resident of Stevens Point and the latter of Linwood, are the members of the above company, and in addition to supplying everything used in the construction of a building, trom the foundation to the dome or chimney top, they own and operate a saw mill and have made a fine success since locating at that live town up the line of the Soo.

Melvin had been at work for the foundry and machinery company that recently made an assignment, leaving matters in bad shape, their liabilities being over three times as much as their assets. Among the creditors are the employes to the extent of about $2,000, and it will be some time before a settlement is made.

Confined to His Howe. Peter M. Adams, one of Stevens Point's most esteemed young men, has been confined to his room at the home of his mother, Mrs. Mary Adams, 123 Jefferson street, for several weeks, and although in a serious condition, is able to sit up a part of the time. He is troubled with tumorous growth on the back of his neck and shoulder, and some months ago when the Drs.

Mayo, at Rochester, were consulted, it was decided not to have an operation. JUST ABOUT THE TAXES A Few Facts aad Figures Concerning One of the Inevitables--Quarter Per Cent Raise. The 1911 tax rate on Stevens Point city property will be one-quarter of 1 per cent, higher than last year, the exact figures being $2.93 on $100 valuation, whereas the rate in 1910 was $2.67 per hundred dollars. This increase is brought about almost 1 wholly by the bigger levy called for by the county and more than last year--and a raise cf $2,700 for local school purposes. The amount needed to carry on the city government for the twelve months beginning next April 1st is $41,160, but $8,000 of this sum will be put into a sinking fund to pay a portion of the bond issue that will mature shortly.

In 1910 there was raised $2,000 as a sinking fund, therefore, it will be noted that the actual tax for city government purposes is over $6,000 below a year ago, when sum of $39,381 was put in the budget. As an exceptionally large amount of permanent street work was done during the past season, all will admit that the present heads of administration are doing their utmost to get value received for every dollar expended. City Clerk VosBurgh is now busily engaged" on the tax roll and expects to turn it over to Treasurer Boyer in time for the latter to commence the collection of taxes on Saturday. While there is certain to be more or less complaint when people pay their taxes this year, local property owners may console themselves over the knowledge that the rate in Stevens Point is far below some other cities and towns in this vicinity. At Wausau it is 3.44 and Park Falls, Price the levy will be an even 5 per cent.

C. 0. D. Store Special. Thursday evening of this week, between 7 and 8 o'clock, P.

Rothman Co. will sell ladies' and children's 25 cent hose for only 18 cents per pair; two pairs for 35 cents. Wood Saw Breaks. There came near being a fatality or serious accident on the Leitz farm near Dancy last Thursday, and it is almost a miracle that no one was hurt. A wood sawing machine owned by Gastav Borth was in operation when the saw broke into innumerable pieces and flew in all directions.

One large section barely missed Martin Leitz's foot and imbedded itself deep in the ground. Lived Here Years Ago. Mrs. John W. Fisher, an early day resident of Almond township, died at her home in Phillips last Friday afternoon, following a second stroke of paralysis.

She was apparently in good health a couple of days before and assisted at a church supper. Mrs. Fisher's maiden name was Josephine Frederick, one of her brothers being John Frederick, a former chairman of Almond but now engaged in the hardware business at Markesan. The Fisher family were residents of Stevens Point for a time, Mr. Fisher conducting a livery stable on S.

Division street. WILL SAVE COUNTY MONEY Road Making Machinery to be Bought by Commission and Sold at Cost to Counties of the State. Portage county intends to purchase several thousand dollars worth of road machinery during the coming year, an appropriation of $7,000 having been made by the county board for that purpose. Therefore, it may be well to know that the members of the good roads commission are in a position to save each of the counties of the state a nice bunch of money by purchasing through them. The commission is now arranging to purchase this machinery in large lots, and the counties will receive the benefits of big discounts.

Instead of each county buying its own machinery, the state commission will buy it all and sell what "the county wants at cost. It is expected that as much as $200 caa be saved on road rollers, the company being relieved of selling and sending representatives to each purchaser, and substantial reduction can be secured on each of the various articles of machinery. This is a good example of what can be done by business men in politics. The men on the good roads commission have made good in their various lines. They are all well-to-do and can afford to give their time to the work and are not always figuring what there is in it for them.

---Brother Dies in Chicago. Leo Wiesner was called to Chicago last Sunday night by a message stating that hid only brother, Max Wiesner, died that evening while undergoing a surgical operation at Augustina hospital. He had been in poor health for some weeks and the operation was decided upon as the oniy hope of saving his life. Max's and Leo's father, A. C.

Wiesner, also went to Chicago from Green Bay. The deceased gentleman was about 47 years of age and was a graduate physician, but gave up the practice of medicine when he came to this country irom Europe. For several years he had been connected with Chicago and Cook county politics and held official positions in the big city. No word has been received as to the funeral, but it is believed the body was taken to Appleton for burial beside his mother and brother, the late Louis Wiesner. TM NmiPA.irsflHCHIyEs.-orn.
