wood and best hard and soft Telephone 150 RYAN 4 FATE OF A FORMER APPLETON MAN IN THE FAR WEST. Julius Breitunji, Formerly of This City Looses Life In Volcanic Eruption at Frank In the Northwest Territory. Cbief of Police Hoefer yesterday afternoon received a letter from J. E. Poupare, of Frank, British Northwest Territory, stating that among the 150 killed by the volcanic eruption and mountain slide at that point April 29, was one Joseph or, Arthur 4 Britun a harness maker supposed to be from Appleton, and whose father was believed to have been a butcher in this city.

The writer closed his letter with the naive statement: "Relatives need not make funeral' arangements, as the house in which Britun lived is buried under one hundred feet of rock, and it is doubtful if the body is ever recovered." Investigation shows that the man whose death is reported is Julius Brei tuner, son of Rheinhold Breitung, formerly bf this city, and nephew of Albert Breitung, of Appleton. Rein-hold Breitung, father of the' dead man, formerly kept a butcher shop near where the present Galpin hardware store now stands, from about 1867to 1870, being in Dartnership with his brother William Breitunsr, and selling out early in the 70's to John Peterson, who was succeeded by John Berg. Julius Breitung was the second son of Reinbold Breitung, and learned the harnessmaker's trade in the shop of E. Heideraann, in this citv. About 20 years ago he went west.

He was heard from at intervals in Utah, Idaho and other parts of the west, and was known to be interested in mining. His father, a brother, and a sister, the latter Mrs. Graber, now live in the town of Freedom, and his uncle Albert Breitung is an old resident of this city. The latter has not heard directly from his nephew in many years, but believes the man killed in Frank to be Julius Breitung. The discrepancy in the name as written from Frank is explained by the anglicizing of the spelling of the name Breitung into Britun; and the fact that the first name: is given as "Joseph or Arthur 'shows a confusion as to the real name, which is common in far western communities where full names are not commonly used.

There is no doubt in the minds of relatives that the dead man is Julius Breitunsr, son of Reinhold Breitung, a harnessmaker and former resident of this city. Peterson's Trial Postponed. Fred Peterson, of Neenah, charged with having misappropriated $1,500 while a clerk for the United States Express company, in Hancock, is still in the county, jail there awaiting trial in defuult of $1,000 bail. Peterson was to have been tried atthis term of court, but the case has been put over until the July term. Difference in Light Rays.

The last act depicts the sulphur mines in Katara, Siberia, with the accompaniment fof some thrilling dramatic action. The company is an exceptionally large one, even for the spectacular sort of play of which "For Her Sake" is one of the notable examples.

Mndle If ree lectures! Cold Weather Has Retarded Proper Conditions and Fish Have Only Just Be- Sun to Bite Local Anglers Goln Soon. The trout fishiner season opened April 15, but up to date all fishermen who have tried their luck or skill in the northern streams have drawn blanks. The rainy weather of the past two weeks has' been unfavorable and the trout will not rise until the sun warms the 7 earth and the mosquitoes begin to buzz. Expert fly-casters have been on the Prairie, White, Pine and Evergreen rivers and have, retired beateni Early in April it was warm and conditions appeared to favor good fishing at the opening of the season, but cold north winds changed all this and the angler must wait with what patience he is able to summon. It is useless to try to force the game when weather conditions are The most skilled fly-caster will have but an empty creel io raw, rainy days.

Wait till insect life becomes apparent on the streams, then the fisha begin to feed then the hungry trout will rise savagely to the fly then the gentle sport will be worth the while then the angler will feel that life is indeed worth living.
