BADLY SCARED
The Friends of Wm. Wilson Imagined
That He Was Lost.
There was quite an uproar in Wausau
on Saturday afternoon and evening, all
because “Billy” Wilson had not re
turned from black-berrying at the time
he said he would. A number of his
friends had discussed the matter all day
and came to the conclusion that if he
did not come home on the evening train
a crowd would go in search of him. So
it was arranged, and soon several hun
dred men had promised to go out. Dan
McNaughton was to see that the switch
engine was in readiness on Sunday
morning to haul down all the box cars
that could be filled with men. But
when the 9:30 train came in at the N.
W. depot, off stepped Uncle Bill, as
sound as a dollar, with several baskets
of berries. It seems that Mr. Wilson
left home Friday mcming for Ringle,
where he intended to spend the day in
the berry patch at that place, but there
were none there to speak of, so he went
on to Clayton. Here he staid all night
and went to work in the morning filling
his baskets with berries, which he found
in plenty. He was nearly persuaded
to go to Let Wyatt’s place and spend (
Sunday. So near did he come to doing
it that he had started with Let, then
looking down and discovering that his
trousers had been badly torn by the
berry bushes, he changed his mind and
told Let that he thought he had better
go home and get a change of clothing.
Really, the tear in his pants saved the
crowd from going down and scouring
the country about Ringle. As he
stepped off at the depot, he received
quite an ovation and was greatly sur
prised at the thought that he, "Billy
Wilson,” could get lost. He admitted
that there w’as such a thing as being
overcome by heat, but no such thing as
his ever getting lost, even if placed in
the worst tamnrack swamp that can be
found in Wisconsin. Well, all are glad
that "Billy” turned up, O. K.

WALTER KINNEY
At Last Landed in States Prison.
John Malone, deputy sheriff/, went up
to Minneapolis last Tuesday, after Wal
ter Kinney, the bicycle thief. The ori
ginal requisition papers were made out
to John Malone. He came back with
his prisoner and was met in this city by
Sheriff Thos. Malone, who accompanied
them to Waupun. When "Tom” board
ed the train Kinney greeted him with
"How d’ye do, Sheriff, how’s papa?”
meaning Congressman Alexander
Stewart. Kinney, while in Minnesota,
has gone under the name of Walter
Stewart, claiming to be a son of Hon.
Alexander Stewart of this city. He had
worked the religious racket for all it
was worth, being very active in church
es and Sunday Schools, where he hap
pened to be located. In this way, and
considering his family connection, he
was enabled to get into good society
and made several love conquests. At
one time he became involved quite deep
ly, and in order to find a way out, drew
on Mr. Stewart for several hundred
dollars. Sheriff Malone says lie stayed
right with Kinney until he was clothed
in a garb of stripes, Kinney showed him
the scar made b> a bullet, fired from a
revolver, held by Sheriff Malone a year
ago. The bullet struck him in the thigh
of the right leg, but produced only a
llesh wound.

PECKS LETTER,
He Gives Ex-Attorney General Lots
of Advice.
The readers of the Pilot know all
about how the country bull stopped W\
H. Mylrea’s automobile. Old friends
throughout the state have had lots of
fun with “Henry” about the affair, and
ex-Governor Geo. W. Peck has written
the following, which will be appreciated
by all:
Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 4,1900.
My Dear Mylrea Mrs. Peck and
I have read of your terrible experience
with the bull, and sympathize with
you both, deeply. In discussing the
matter as to what I would have done
in your place. I am sure I have con
vinced my wife that I am a brave
man. I have told her I should have
changed ends with the vehicle, sud
denly, raised a red flag, and when the
bull charged into the hind axietree I
should have exploded the keroeene
tank and had roast beef, rare done,
with the hair on. If I was in your
place I would arrange a gatling gun
on the dash board, loaded with rock
salt, and the next bull would get killed
and salted at one discharge, and you
would have corned beef plenty. Then
you might take along some empty
c&ns ana a soldering iron and can a lot
of embalmed beef. I would put a set
of steer horns on the bow of the vehi
cle and a couple of mule hind legs on
beniud. so it would hook or kick, as
the ease might be. Yoa may bve to
turn that confounded automobile into
an incubator after all. M rs. Peck joins
me in love to you all, but we are anx
ious as to what you will do next.
Yours, Gko. W. Peck.

LOOKS BAD,
Wisconsin Valley Association Ought
to Square Itself with the Editors.
The following is taken from the
Rhinelander Herald, and it certainly
needs an answer, it reflects upon the
manager of the Wausau Record of this
city and Secretary of the Wisconsin
Valley Advancement Association. It
does not seem possible that the ad
vancement association did not authorize
the invitation given to the editors of
Wisconsin to come up the valley and
camp on the banks of one of its beauti
ful lakes. The officers of that associa
tion certainly knew that the invitation
had been extended and to make the
plea, at this late date, that they didn’t
authorize it, and therefore would not
pay the bills, is pretty thin.
Mr. Rose, let us hear from you.
The article from the Rhinelander
Herald is as follows:
The Wisconsin Valley Advancement
Association is placed in a peculiar posi
tion. The corporation was organized
for the'purpose of booming and securing
free advertising for the valley from
Grand Rapids to Eagle River. While
the reputation of the valley was never
higher, there is danger of the associa
tion receiving some advertising of an
unpleasant nature. Mr. Lester A. Rose
of Wausau was elected secretary ot the i
association at a salary, his duties oeing
practically to collect and secure free j
publication of facts about the valley.
When the State Press Association
had their annual meeting at Green
Bay in February last, Mr. Rose was
present and invited the Press Associa
tion to take their summer trip through
the Wisconsin River Valley and camp
out at some point in the northern woods
as the guests of the Wisconsin Valley
Advancement Association. The invi
tation was most cordial and drew a
glowing picture _>f the pleasures of the
camp life which they were to enjoy as
the guests of the Valley Advancement
Association. When the Press Associa
tion reached the camping place there
were some glaring discolpancles be
tween the actuality and the descrip
tion contained in the invitation, and
there was a little grumbling. Mr. Rose
at supper on that first night iu camp,
macle the campers a speech in which
be told them that the things with
which ihey found fault would tie reme
died; that they WERE THE GUESTS OF
the Wisconsin valley advance
ment ASSOCIATION and that Associa
tion did not do things by halves but
would see that everything was pro
vided at once, to make them comforta
ble.
The campers wire very much sur
prised to learn, when they came to
break camp, that all of the thing.-,
which had been furnished, as they had
been informed, by the Advancement
Association for their entertainment,
had been furnished at the expense of
the Press Association and were charged
to them. They were in the position in
which a man would be who had been
invited to spend a week with a friend
and was told at the end of the week
that his bill for board was ten dollars.
Now. so far as the Valley Advance
ment Association is concerned, the
Herald is informed by Mr. W. E.
Brown, one of the directors of the as
sociation, that the facts are. that this
invitation was given to the Press Asso
ciation without the knowledge or con
sent of the Advancement Association.
That after such invitation had been
given and accepted, the secretary re-j
ported it to a directors' meeting of the j
association. That the directors refused
to ratify it and said they would have
nothing to do with it, but did not notify
tbe Press Association of that fact.
That the Valley Advancement Associa
tion had never had anything to do with
the excursion.
Tbe Advancement Association made
a great mistake in failing to notify the
Press Association at once that the in
vitation was without authority an<:
would not be carried out by them, it
was a failure, such as in a business
transaction, would make tbem liable on
tbe contract made by the secretary and
in this transaction it certainly imposes
a rnorai liability on tbem to souare
themselves in some way with tbe Press
Association. The Ad vancement Asso
ciation should make at once such ex
cuse as it can for having placed tbe
Press Association in an unpleasant po
sition and its officers in the most embar
assing position that can be imagined.
There is another phase to this adver*
Using matter. Even free advertising
should be truthful, and representing,
as was done in a picture in the Sunday
Sentinel three weeks ago, that the 120
ducks shot by John Barnes and Frances
Column in North Dakota last fall, were
the result of a four day’s hunt on the
Big Rice north of Heafford Junction, is
a kind of lying that will not pay in the
end. If the Advancement Association
has anything to do with the puffing of
the duck hunting in this section, they
should seo that t'ie truth is told or
that it is stopped altogether.
