SAILORS MADE TROUBLE.
Police Called to the Steamer Auxtnia
Last Night.

There was considerable excitement
among some OF the members Of the Grew
of the ocean steamer Auxinia Friday
night and at q few minutes past ten
O'Clock the captain Of the steamer tsis :
phoned to the police station to send OIL
GERS to the wharf to arrest eight sailors.
The captain had thought that thess snii-
ors were planning to desert and he want d
to forestall the arrangements.
Deputy Marshal Firth. Turnkey Emery
and officers Bonner, Worcester, Foss and
Hans Smith at once hurried to the steam
or and listened TO the story OF the official. i.
The captain told q short story, saying
that the men had acted strangely ever
since the steamer had arrived In port On
Tuesday. He explained that he did not
care to have any trouble with the safiors
about making the return trip and 10
thought that the best thing 20 do was TO
arrest them and take them TO the police
station for the night.
After talking over the matter FOR Few
minutes, rvs of the crew were ordered OH
the steamer and placed In tne patrol
wagon. AT the station the men were
looked up. They are Andus Chrissiansen
aud Thu Ed winson who are Norweigsnf,

Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-12-11

London, Dec. 5.-There is little far
Their news from the seat of war. Even
the latest accounts of the battle at
Modder river fail to give an intelli-
gent idea of what happened. There is
a feeling of disappointment and con-
tinuing anxiety respecting Gen. Lord
Methuen. The Times says editOrially:
'"The battle affords a splendid proof
of the unsurpassed qualities of the
British soldier, but while victories Won
solely by the exercise of these quail
ties are indeed magnificent, they are
not war. They fill us with pride, but
with a pride not unmingled with re-
gret at the persistent perversity of cir
cumstances, which apparently prevent
us from obtaining equal or greaterr
results by a process savoring little
of that military science of which we
hear so much" Mafeking is safe, or
was, on November "a.
Is Mafeking Siege Raised?
Capetown, Dec. 5.-(Nov. 30)-The
Cape Times has the following dis
patch from Mefeking: Gen. Cronje,
with 100 wagons and a large body of
boer shas left his lager, practically
raising the siege, although desultory
firing can be heard

most of the guns, swords, carbines and

Ismore, ashore in st. Helena bay. The
.Ismore broke up Sunday evening. Her
stern is out of water but the bow is
gone. All hands and 20 horses out of
$50 were saved. The loss of the is
more's horses is quite serious at the
present moment. Much war material
and hospital equipment were lost.

LEWISTON FOR MARSHAL.
Hudson Scandinavian Thought to Be
the Winner.

A Washington dispatch says: 'It
is probable that Senator Spooner will
make a recommendation for marshal
in the western district of the state
within the next two weeks. 1t would
appear from the situation as early pre-
sented in regard to this appointment
that Rock Flint will not have much
success in pressing his candidacy for
the place. About year ago Senator
Spooner said he expected the office Of
marshal would be given to some lead
ing Scandinavian in western WiscOn-
sim Charles Lewiston of Hudson has
been pressing his claims for the place
and has collected large batch of en-
dorsements from political leaders
throughout the state. Whether he will
be successful is not disclosed, but the
observing ones here have assumed that
he will be. Senator Spooner is locat-
ed at the Arlington, where he will
remain during the session. After the
holiday recess he will be joined by
Mrs. Spooner" Senator Spooner
looks for gold-standard legislation dur
ing the present session. He believes
that the tariff laws of this country
would be made to cover Porto Rico,
giving to it's people the same advanta-
ges which would accrue to the island
under our customs laws, as they do to
the United States proper. Although
he has not gone into the subject care
fully, he does not look with favor upon
the suggestion made in some quarters
that like advantages be given to the
island Of Cuba.
