mander apportionment paesed by the
last democratic legislature of that state
"A little difficulty between two
women of the north side over some hens
eliminated Tuesday in the arrest of one
of them upon warrent sworn out by
the other for using abusive and obscene
language. The case was adjourned.
It is bad enough for men to air their diff
ficulties of this kind in court to say
nothing about the women.
The residence and business portions
of Iron River were entirely DESTROYED
by fire Sunday. 1t is reported that two
children are missing and were probab-
ly lostin the flames. The loss to proper
/ ty will foot up to about half a million
with scarcely no insurance. They had
no fire protection and as the wind was
high when the fire once got started it
was impossible to check it until the
whole village was in ashes.
The base ball club have chartered
train and will run an excursion to In
terror SUNDAY where the ball team will
cross bats with the Interior club. The
train will leave here about ten in
the forenoon returning by half past
eight. This will probably be the only
excursion this year',and those going will
not only be able to see a good game but
will see one of the largest saw and shin
gle mills in the country.
"A couple of men at work at the
Sheridan'LumberC Cos. millgot into a lit
tie difficulty yesterday forenoon and pro-
ceeded to settle it Sullivan and Corbett
fashion. The one that came out second
best swOre out a Warrent for his antag-
cnist and he was fined three dollars
and costs. This is the fourth or fifth
fight that has occurred there lately and
if participants in every case were made
to pay for their fun it would soon put a
stop to it,
AT the last moment the Amigo
ball team telegraphed that they could
not be here to play the game that was
advertised for last Sunday and a local
team was picked up to play the regular
nine. Jones and Nenmarth was the bat
terry for the picked up nine and Don
O'Connor and Chas. Hall was the bat
terry for the regular nine which won the
game by a score of II to 8. This was
the first game that O'Connor has pitched
and he showed up in pretty good shape.
Besides striking out seven or eight men
he distinguished himself by catching q
hot liner in one hand that was way
above his head.
The hot weather of the last week
has been general through out the Uni
ted States. Several cities have repor-
| ted the Thermometer as over a hundred
in the government observatory which
records several degrees lower than the
| private thermOmetOr in the same local
| ity. Three men died from the effects
of the heat in Milwaukee Tuesday, and
there were a number of minor cases of
sunstroke there. Deaths from the same
cause has been reported from a great
many other cities. According to the
reports sent out by the weather depart
ment the present hot weather may be
expected to continue the balance of the
week.
The republican congressional con
vention for the ninth district has been
called to meet il Rhinelander about
the middle of August. There seems to
be general desire among all classes OF
republicans that Myron H. McCord be
given the nomination and SO far there
has been no other name mentioned. In
the last superintendent the democrats
fixed the district so that they considered
it safely democratic and if any republican
can carry it that man is NlcCord. He
is very popular in the district and has
always run ahead of his ticket added to
his record as the best congressman the
district has ever had makes him excep-
tionalAy strong especially IN contrast
with the do-notning record of the pres
emit member who will probably be re-
nominated by the democrats. We
predict that Myron FL. McCord receives
the ssunaminous nomination and will be
the next congressman from this district
Last Friday Sheriff Merrickle sent a
telegram to his deputy Henry Howlot
to prevent the glove contest which Was
advertised to take place at the rink IN
this village that evening between Peter
| Jackson and Frank Broulette. Quite
crowd of sports from Rhinclander and
Watersmeet were present and they were
determined not to be baked of THEN
fun. Along in the night they hired
rigs and started for some old shantles
out in the woods, just across the line II
Forrest county about twelve miles from
the village. On the way out Broulettf
