Clay Center Postmaster Refuses
to Turn Over Office.
Will Test the Matter in the
Il. ). Courts.
HE WAS CONFIRMED.
Thinks He Is Entitled to Stay
Four Years.
Trouble For Congressman W.
A. Calderhead.

Clay Center Republicans have been
having a merry row over the appoint
ment of a postmaster Now that the
official has been selected the Demo-
cratic fncum bent. G.. A Vanatta, an
nounces that he will not vacate the
office but will bring suit to retain it and
at the same time test the national law
governing confirmation.
Congressman Calderhead called on
Mr.. Vanatta a few days ago and asked
him to give up the office July L This
the postmaster fatty refused to do and
notified Mr.. Calderhead that a fight IN
the courts may be expected
The attitude of Vanatta has created
surprise in Clay Center but the people
are interested in the fight notw1th-
standing the fact that many of them
are dissatisfied with the man selected
for Vanatta's place.
For more than a year the town has
been involved in a fight over the post
office. 1t has been three-coEnered be-
tween w. H. Fletcher, John LOder ana
H. c. Achenbach.
Achenbach and Loder both state posi-
lively that Congressman Calderhead
promised to recommend each of them
for the position. Loder is an old SOL
der and has many friends who are still
clamoring from dissatisfa ction- Achen-
bach was chairman of the Clay county
Republican central committee when
Calderhead was first elected and he
claims that during that campaign the
congressman promised him the place.
There was a conference in Clay Cen
ter a few days ago and Mr.. Calderhead
selected Fletcher for the place and
wired to the postal department at
Washington to commission Fletcher.
Nanatta has employed attorneys to
make his fight and starts out as though
he meant business.
Later Mr. Calderhead met Achenbach
on the street. The aspirant for the post
office asked the congressman how things
were progressing.
IN write you when I get home,'' was
the reply.
rs il anything that I want to know %
asked Achenbach.
NO Fletcher has been selected for
the place" was the reply.
However" said Calderhead, Il want
you, now that this matter is settled, to
get out and go to work and have the
county in line for next year. The boys
here will take care of you
I've already had promises from you
TO be taken care Of snapped Achen-
bach as he turned his heel and left
Calderhead.
There is kicking among the friends
of the two defeated candidates for the
place and the fight which Vanatta pro-
poses to make may have some bearing
on the final result

If present, to listen courteously to all

LONG TROLLEY LINE.
Wisconsin Towns to Be Linked by q
Road of 100 Miles.

Madison, Wis. June 27.-Charles D.
Smith of Fond du Lac has proposed a
scheme to local capitalists to build an
electric railway from Madison to Fond
du Lac by way of Sun Prairie, Column
bus, Beaver Dam and Waupun. The line
is to be about seventy miles in length.
A branch is to be built from Fond du
Lac to Beaver Dam by way of Oakfeld,
Knowles, Mayville, Horizon and Ju-
neau. This is to be thirty-nine miles
in length. The cost of construction of
the main line is estimated at $3.50, 900
and that of the branch at $50 900.
The promoter says that he can inter-
est plenty of capital to build the road
dends, because it will cross a very
wealthy section of the state not now en-
joying adequate steam car facilities. If
the road is built, and it is certain to be
sooner or later, an interurban line will
extend from Madison to Green Bay
