Oshkosh, Wis, Nov 2S.-[ Special. i
There promises to be considerable trouble
over the payment of claims incurred by
reason of the late strike of the Oshkosh
woodworkers. At the last sitting of the
county board bills aggregating $5346. 7G
were presented by the sheriff. OF this
amount one item was for $1,000 for the
sheriff personally and the remainder was
for board, conveyances, ammunition, bill
lies, blankets, cots, salaries for deputies
and board for deputies. The full amount
Of the bill, with the exception of the sher-
ifs salary and few minor claims, We're
paid by Sheriff Lampert, who arranged
with the National bank Of this city for
funds with which to make the payments,
This is the complicated part of the trans
action, since the bank accepted the orders
signed by the sheriff, upon the presump-
tlon that at the meeting of the county
board the full amount would be paid. 1t
is true that the sheriff bought large
number of deputies orders as a speculation
and in the transaction realized percent
age upon the face value. but the action
of the board renders the accounts of no
value. The National bank, according to
information obtainable, cashed orders ag-

TALK OF ICEBOATERS.
Withdrawal OF Oshkosh Yacht Club
will Not Break Up the
Association.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Nov. 26.--[Spe-
cial. THE announcement made in the
Evening Wisconsin yesterday that the
Oshkosh Ice Yacht club was about to
withdraw from the Lake Winnebago Ice
Yachting association caused some discus
sion, but little feeling here. 1t was
known for some time that a step of this
nature was contemplated. When MI
Gates was here during the past summer
he made complaint aboul Neenah being
favored and stated that Oshkosh would
probably drop out This was the first in
dication Of the unpleasantness which took
definite form in the action of the Oshkosh
club Thursday. Last season the ice was
poor and it was almost impossible to pull
off race. When one had been arranged
and Fond du Lac was unable to attend
owing to break in the ice, which extend
ed east and west, across the lake, Osh-
kosh yachtsmen sent a boat down to as
certain if what had been said about the
ice was true.
A meeting Of the Winnebago Ice Yacht
club will be called by Commodore Dit
mar for the early part of next week.
and it is probable that each city will send
delegates. Fond du Lac Neenah and
Menasha will remain in the association.
and so far Commodore Dittmar has re-
ceived no official word that Oshkosh will!
drop out. The yachtsmen in this city
feel that it would be an injustice to the
donors of the trophies to withdraw from
the association, which has been placed
in the front ranks of this class Of sport
by the handsome and valuable trophies
offered. The present officers of the Win
nebago Ice Yacht association are: Com
modore, II. @. Dittmar: vice-commodore,
Jake Kimberly, and secretary and treas
urer. Paul Fritz.
The ice is fine at this end of the lake,
and race could be held early in Deem

company is entitled to use the surplus wa
ter of the river, subject to the control of
