insurance.

THE BEACH HOTEL GROUNDS.
There veils a delightful party on
Wednesday evening of last week at the
Lake Shore Beach hotel. About 150
were in attendance, including the
gnestsat the hotel, a fair-sized delegation
from Two Rivers and a large delegation
from this city. The grounds were well
lighted and the feature of the evening's
enjoyment was dancing in the pavilion,
the music being furnished by Urban's
orchestra. Refreshments were served
and all in all the affair was a most
pleasant one for the participants. The
place has become a popular pleasure
resort.

had not seen for fifty-nine years, and
who came here from Lancing, Mich.,

the death of the boys’ parents fifty-nine
years ago, while his brother, George
Fulton, came to Wisconsin and settled

CHILD MEETS WITH
BAD ACCIDENT.
Ray. the 9-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Cornelius Madsen, had his right
leg nearly severed at the ankle on
Wednesday of last week by the sickle
bar of a binder. The child was standing
in front of the machine, trying to hand
a whip to the driver, when the team
became frightened and started, with the
result that the lad's leg was caught by
the guards and nearly cut off by the
sickle bar before the horses could be
stopped. The accident occurred at
Rapids, where the boy was visiting his
aunt, Mrs. Gustaveson.
HOLD UP MAN CAUGHT.
Chief of Police Pierce caused the ar
rest of Clarence Benson at Wausau on
Wednesday. Benson is one of the trio
that is charged with holding up and rob
bing .lames Ryan Sunday evening on
Buffalo street, between nine end ten
o'clock, securing twenty-seven dollars in
money.
Chief Pierce.although in feeble health,
has not lost any of his tactics or ability
to round up criminals. We are credibly
informed that in every instance when
high crime has been committed in Mani
towoc since Pierce has been chief, he
has got his man, not one escaped.
TENTH STREET BRIDGE
CANNOT BE REBUILT-
The expert engineer from Milwaukee
says that the old bridge spanning the
river at Tenth street should be con
demned. He advises the city to build a
new $99,090 structure.
DEPOT AND FREIGHT
HOUSE AT GRIMMS DE
STROYED BY FIRE.
During the electric storm last Friday
evening at seven o'clock lire, supposed to
have originated from lightning, destroy
ed the Chicago A North-Western depot
and freight house, with contents, at
Grimms, this county, the loss entailed
being in the neighborhood of s‘.’9o9.
The blaze was not seen until it had
gained much headway, when it was im
possible to save the burning structures.
So all efforts of the volunteer lire light
ers were directed toward preventing the
liercely raging Haines from spreading to
nearby buildings.
The railroad company's large grain
elevator adjacent to the depot caught
tire two or three times, but the incipient
blaze was speedily put out each time by
the lire fighters, who formed a bucket
brigade. It was raining hard at the
time, and this assisted the lire fighters
in keeping the flames from spreading.
The operator, Joseph Gill, had left the
office and gone to supper shortly liefore
the lire occurred.
While the origin of the blaze is not
known, there is reason to believe that it
was caused by lightning, as a crash had
been heard in the vicinity of the depot a
short time before tile fire was discover
ed. The company will immediately
build anew station.

“TAKEN BY STORM"
Members of H. W. Lawlon Camp No.
2. United Spanish War Veterans.
Surprised
.Inst as members of 11. VV. Lawton
camp. I’. S. W. V,. were about to close
a regular meeting at their headquarters
in ('izek's hull Tuesday evening, they
were startled by a sound on the stairway
as of the stealthy approach of many feet.
Silence reigned over the assemblage of
veterans and each looked at his neigh
bor, trying to rend the solution of the
mystery in his face. All waited anxious
ly for the report of the sentinel who is
placed at the ante room door, hut when
the mysterious sound reached the door,
nothing but a faint whispering was to lie
heard, and then all was quiet for a short
space of time, when the sound of stealthy
footsteps was located in the hack room
which is used by the boys as a banquet
hall. By this time some of the more
timid veterans let their imaginations
carry them back to sentinel duty in the
enemy's country, am) thought there
was a body of Spaniards about to make
a charge, so they sought safety in a
locker in the front of the hall. The
holder ones formed themselves into two
bodies one to go to the relief of their
comrade, the sentinel, while the other
was to charge the door to the banquet
hall. The former party found thesenti
nel had been overpowered, gagged with
a ham sandwich and bound with a large
piece of cake in either hand. The latter
body was met at the door by a burst of
surprise and found all the scare was
caused by the members of the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the I S W V . who had
planned to surprise tin- members of
Lawton camp. That the surprise was a
success was demonstrated by the ex
pression on the faces of the veterans.
After the clients of the surprise wore
oil', musical instruments made their aji
pearance as if by magic, and dancing
was indulged in for a short time, when
refreshments were served by the ladies,
alter which dancing was resumed and
continued until midnight.
Lverybodv reports a good time, and
members of 11. \V. Lawton camp voted
the Ladies Auxiliary a success.
