Lived Alone 40 Years in
Wisconsin Woods.

.Lakota, Wis.,, Sept. 21.-Old Bill
Stanton is the hermit of Twin Lakes.
For forty years he has lived alone in
the wilderness, his only companions
his faithful dogs and his wild animal
pets. He shuns society of every sort
and much prefers the company of his
tame catamount to that of human be-
ings. His little cabin at the outlet Of
little Twin lake is always locked when
Bill is away.
His fame as hunter and trapper is
country wide. But his fame is still
greater as hermit. All sorts Of
stories are told about him and these
include usually one about an unfortu-
nate love affair back in the Pennsyl-
vania mountains forty years ago
which drove Bill into the wilderness
and made him shun his kind.
Bill is tall, rugged as al pine, and
bearded like Senator PETER. He is as
strong as four ordinary men and has
the steel gray eye of the man who
shoots straight, and shooting straight
is large part of Bills occupat on.
Old Bill is beginning to feel crowd
ed. The Lakota fishing resort is
across the lake, not more than three or
four miles from his cabin, and he says
that there are now too blamed many
people on the lake and in the woods
and he will have to get out.

HARMONIOUS GATHERING.
Strong County Ticket.

Register of Deeds-W B. Raymond
Dist. Attorney-G. E. O'Connor.
Clerk of Circuit Court. Hanson.
County Surveyor-R. Gumair.
Sup't of Schools Higgins.
Coronor-James Oberholtzer.
The foregoing is the ticket nomi-
! mated by the Republican County Con-
vention, held at the court house last
Thursday. 1t is strong ticket made
up of good men. 1t merits and will
receive the votes of the party on Nov.
9th next. They are all worthy citi-
zens, well qualified for the offices for
which they have been nominated.
The News can and will heartily sup
port the whole ticket.
The only contest was over the
nomination of Register of Deeds and
Clerk of Circuit Court. 1t was gen
orally conceded even by the candi-
dates that W. B. Raymond should re-
ceive the nomination for one of these
offices 1t was believed that if Mr..
RAYMOND was made the nominee for
Register of Deeds, that the nominal
ton for Clerk of Circuit Court, would
go to L. j. Cook and that, if Mr.. Ray
mond was named for Clerk of Circuit
Court, the nomination for Register of
Deeds would go to either John Ho-
bart or w III. Bonner. The surprise
of the conven ton was the nomination
of John Hansen for Clerk of Court,
which defeated Cook, Bonner and Ho-
bart. The Town of Minocqua has
been given a generous share of the
Offices The defeated candidates are
all residents of Eagle River, but they
take their defeat in a manner that
will entitle them to recognition in the
future. Later we will have more to
say of the respective candidates.
The convention was organized by
the election of DR.. M. E. Sanborn,
chairman and II. Hobart, secretary.
