A Gentleman Prize Fighter.

Mr.. kid" Robinson, the talented
and bright young prize fighter of this
city, left this week for Los Angeles,
Cal, to pay a visit to his parents,
whom he has not seen for quite while.
In bidding goodbye to representa-
tive Of this paper, Mr.. Robinson said
he would be absent from the city thre4 :
weeks. He said he thought a great
deal of his parents and their welflre
was always matter of deep concern
to him, because had it not been for
them he would not have been prize
fighter. He always thinks OF them
and sends them something, and a.
though they have never been in desti-
tute circumstances yet, but if such a
time should ever come and he did not
have the monny to help them, he
thinks SO much of his parents that he
would try 10 knock out the biggest
man in the world in order to get mon
ey TO send them. This, in our judge
meut. is the ideal gentleman prize
fighter and one to be admired by all
good citizens.

Court N

Circuit court re-convened Monday
after a weeks adjournment, anC
Judge Parish took up the calendar
1t will perhaps take all of this anc
part of next week to dispose of it.
At Mondays session last week the
day was occupied in taking ur
motions.
The first case tried was the State
of Wisconsin against Matt. Mattson,
charged with larceny from the per
son. A jury was impannelled and
District Attorney Alvord prosecnt-
ed, while A. w, Mcleod appeared
for the defense. The case took a
good part Of Monday and resulted in
the jury finding the defendant mot
guilty. He was discharged.
la the case of the state against
Andrew Ed, charged with sodony,
and Olson, charged with. embezzeI-
ment, the cases were 'nolled'
upon motion of the District Attor-
new.
The bond of G Gorge Burgess, who
was awaiting trial on charge of
obtaining money under false pre-
tence, and who failed to appear, was
forfeited.
A case of the democratic nominee
for district attorney of Sawyer
County trying to force the county
clerk to place his name on the
official ballot was brought to the at
tention of Judge Parish Monday.
The nominee is Frank L. Mcnamara
who was nominated at an adjourned
county convention of the democra-
tic party, aud his nomination was
certified seperatly from that of the
rest of the county ticket. The
county clerk refused to file the
nomination and the proceedings are
to compel the latter official to place
his name on the ticket The matter
will come up this week.
In the state against John Teddy,
charged with assault and battery
the jury returned verdict of mot
guilty after being out a few
minutes.
In the case of the state VS. Johnson
and Glover, charged with assault and
battery, Johnson was discharged by
the court. The jury went out at
ten o'clock this morning and had not
agreed up to the time court
adjourned tonight.

Bayfield, County Democrats Made a
Fatal Error.
TICKET WILL NOT BE ON BALLOT.
By Most Singular Neglect the Matter OF
Filing Certificate of Nomination
Seems to Have Escaped At
tentiOn of Democrats.

All sorts of peculiar things happen
in politics, but the plight of the
democrats of this county is the
strangest thing of all. Their county
convention met and named ticket
in the regular way, though with
some difficulty. The law provides
that the certificate of nomination
certified to by the chairman and
secretary of the convention shall be
filed with the county clerk at least
fifteen days before election, in order
that it may be placed on the regu-
lar official ballot. This provision
seemed to have escaped the notice
of the "unwashed" until Tuesday
morning, and as the time had
elapsed Monday they were "really
and truly" up against the real
thing. Party leaders cot together
Tuesday, and tried to find way out
OF the dilemma, but there was none,
and they had to give it up. The
probabilities are that the RepubIi-
can ticket will now be the only
one in the field, as there is no way
for a democrat to run now except to
be an independent candidate.
