Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1891-08-13

, waukee came up Wednesday morn.
ing to spend few weeks here. For
several seasons past they have spent
their summers here and seem almost
headquarters at the Denton House
while in town.
#. S. Campbell of Three Lakes
was in town Saturday. Mr.. Camp
bell is an enterprising merchant OF
that burg and is gathering to him
self goodly quantity OF the worlds
goods. He is very anxious that a
good road be built between the two
villages and thinks it would be OF ben
eft to both places besides being of
great accommodation to quite num-
Der of hOmesteaders who have set
tied between the two places.
An excursion train was run to
Watersmeet Sunday to take up those
who attended the ball game between
our nine and the Watersmeet boys.
The train started from here at one
O'Clock, returning about eight. One
hundred and forty tickets were sold
and the projectors cleared a little
over forty dollars after pay ing al
expenses. This money they kindly
turned over to the treasurer of the
base ball club to help pay the expen-
ses of the club.
-Saloonkeepers and others who
deal in cigars would do well to close
ly study the law enacted by the last
congress in regard to the sale of CT
CARS. Section 1902 of the revised sta
tutes says that cigars must be sold
to the customer direct from theprOp-
erly stamped box. A dealer who
takes out a handful of cigars and
lays them before the buyer to choose
from. or saloonkeeper who brings Il
customer a cigar on a plate or glass
makes himself liable to fine of $500.
The New North holes the belt as
the champion prevaracator of the
northwest. In it's notes on the ball
game here Sunday it says the Rhine
lander pitcher struck out Ii men to
Baldwin 4. The truth of the mat
as shown by the score book is that
Baldwin struck out men and the
two Rhinelander pitchers Jacob
son 8, Jones 2. He laid their defeat
to poor base running when in truth
it was lue to rocky playing in the
field, four men of the Eagle River
scoring one inning ON wild throws
alone.
Last week the two Rhinelander
papers, the New North and Oneida
Herald devoted a column each to a
write up Of the unfortunate excur-
sion that the Rhinelander visitors
made up here the Sunday before.
Bishop in his article, especially
showed that he Was smarting from
the defeat which he and his nine SUI
fered at the hands of the Eagle River
club. He also showed in his article
as well as in the language that he
used to an Eagle River gentleman
who was trying to guide him and
others out Of the WindfaIls while re-
turning from that excursion that
when the very thin veneering is rub
bed off from the outside, very little Of
the gentleman remains. Although
that language which was used to Mr.
Sheridan, as fine gentleman as there
is in the county, was so vulgar OBJ
scene and abusive that the worst
tough on the streets of Eagle River
would not have used it, still it was
not our purpose to have alluded to
it. But a man who will through
petty spite pen such an article as
that was in the New North deserves
no consideration whatever at the
hands of anyone.
We don't blame Bishop for feeling
very sore over the befeat of his nine
after the cracks which he and others
! had made but he ought to have
NOR sense and manliness than to
show it in such babyish way. Any
man with horse sense would know
that if the people here had intended
a farther humiliation to the Rhinelan-
der nine by taking them up the lakes
and making them walk back they
would not have gone up on the ex-
curion themselves. and his filings at
the town and some of the leading citi-
zens is very poor taste and showed
that he must have been terribly
ratified to allow the real man to
show out i'll such prominent man
ner.
