ti
WISCONSIN MAN
GETS RECKLESS
Dr. P. A. Walters, who name boo
several weeks ago from Stevens
Point, Wisconsin, to famlllarlzo him
self with the situation relative to the
Forest aud Advance companies, iu
which ho is heavily Interested, is
rapidly wearing olf tho rough edges
of his tenderfoot attributes. The
first pass ho made he went aKaiust a
pair of bucking skees and came oif
scatbless, as has been narrated iu
these columns.
Now be Is willing to tacklo almost
anything, even courting dangerous
encounters. Sometimes it would
ueem that ho brings theso about in a
spirit of pure recklessness. Yester
day afternoon he and Professor Eber
man drove up tho Bourne way iu a
cuttor, to have a look nt sotno of tho
Cracker Creek mines. Thcro was
nothing of a peiilous uaturo in this,
and it was perhaps tho tamenoss of
tho situation which stirred Dr.
Walters to action. After having to
atop aud uubltch several dozen times
and wado through tho huow to let
teams puss, the mau of pills was seen
to bo growiug desporato oror such
proslnoss. While driving along tho
(lolcouda road, nt a point whoro tho
declivity offered some of tho olo
miiuts ol dauger, suddenly tho cuttor
overturned. Down went the two
over aud over, tumbling through
snow, agaiust trees and rocks, dis
figuring tho natural scuuery, aud
fetched up some thousand foot bolow.
Dr. Walters was on top with a fiend
Isb smllo ou hi face. Professor
Ebennan bays there was uo occasion
whatever for the cutter overturn
ing, and be is fully convinced in bis
own mind that Dr. Walters did It on
purpose.
Saw Herd of Elk.
Byron'TurnerJwas out tho Susan
vlllo way yesterday aud reports seo
lug a Uno herd of tou oik iu that
vicinity. They wero. he says, fluo
specimous of tho elk tribe. All ho
could do, howover, was to fix an ad
miring gaze ou thorn, sinco thore is
a Una of 8500 attuohud to tho killing
of an elk, aud the Heaaou Mh never
opou.
