BURIED IN A DITCH
Two Laborers Have Very Narrow
Escape.
DITCH CAVES IN ON THEM
Sever and Hans Hagen are Buried Almost
to the Neck by Dirt Falling Into
Ditch in Which They Were
Working

Two laborers working in a ditch
in front OF the Nelson House saloon
Tuesday, met with what came very
near being fatal accident. They
were about eight feet below the
ground, when the dirt about them
caved IN, almost burying both men
out OF sight. Fortunately their
heads remained above ground, al
though one of the men had his face
partly covered. A large crowd as
sembled at once, and the work of
relief began, and in the course of an
hour both men were removed. Their
bodies were bound tight in the clay,
and it was feared that their limbs
might be broken, or that they might
be otherwise seriously injured The
men were brothers, Sever and Hans
Hagen. Sever was taken to the
hospital, but an examination shows
that he was not very seriously in
jured. Hans came out with but few
scratches, and was not laid up as a
result of the accident. Mr.. Nels
Odegaard had the contract for doing
the digging.

BIG TAX SALE.
Largest Tax Sale i'm the History of the
County

Largest Tax Sale in the History of the
The delinquent tax sale at the
Court House tuesday, was the larg-
est in the history of the county,
nearly all the lanos being bid in. and
the sale of lots being about the same
as in the past years. The sale will
net the county upwards of $40, 900.
There were many bidders and some
of the contests were sharp. The
bidders usually compromised in their
differences with the exception of l.
W. BUREAUS, who represented the
Calumet & Hecla copper mining in
terests. Mr.. BUREAUS started in tt
bull the markets, and was met by
Mr.. D. M. Maxcy, of this city, and
F. A. Buol, of Mason. Mr.. Maxcy
bid in the ne ne 28-45-8 for one
thirty-second of 100 part of the
forty acres. BUREAUS finally came
off his perch, and the rest of the sale
progressed tremendously.

noon Mr.. Sauve withdrew from
the field, and in a speech gave
his reasons for not supporting
Mr.. Habelt, but paid the gentle
man nice compliment, refusing
to support him on account of the
supporters he had in the contest.

two for Habelt, and Mr.. Bell was
declared elected. The Board

Mrs. Alphnise Lazure Takes the
Fatal Drug.
SHE DIES IN A SHORT TIME
Owing to Dependency and a Quarrel
With her Husband, well Known
Woman Takes Carbolic Acid
and Shuff1es Off.

Mrs. Alphonse Lazure committed
suicide by taking an ounce of car
bolic acid Tuesday afternoon, at her
living rooms over VIM. Burns
saloon. The woman was we'll known
in Washburn, and was the mother
of two children. She came here
about two years ago with Lazure,
and they have made their home here
ever since. Lazure works in the
woods most of the time. A short
time before the tragedy the couple
had quarreled, and the woman go
ing into an adjoining room swallow
ed the contents of the carbolic acid
bottle, dying about half an hour
latter. Judge Warden conducted
the inquest which followed, and a
jury consisting of d. McBeath,
Charles Drummer, Ed. G. Stevens,
Fred Terrill Boyd Cameron and John
Murphy brought in verdict to the
effect that the deceased died from
poison administered by her own
hand The husband stated after
the death that he was unable to
make the arrangements for the bur-
ial of his wife, as he was short OF
money, and the woman will perhaps
be buried at public expense.

- ONSA ocSui w yOu Judt
Washburn was always the first town
on earth to receive the news of great
events. Only last Friday presum-
ably aunthentic report of the death
of Mrs. Mckinley was received here,
and as there appeared to be every
reason to believe the report to be
correct proper signs of mourning for
the wife of the nations Chief Execu-
tive were displayed, and our ener-
getlc contemporary got the scoop on
all the newspapers of the land by not
only publishing the death notice,
but in the arrangements of the fun
eral at Canton, Ohio. This recalls
the fact that week or so ago the
newsgatherers also had the inform
alton that one of our ex-mayors was
IN jail down in Indiana, and this
fake was also exploded. And then
again it is recalled that the city of
Washburn was the first town in the
country to properly celebrate the
sinking of the Spanish fleet.
So great was the dissapoint-
ment over this event that when the
news of still greater victory follow
ed couple of weeks later, the peo-
pie would not believe it, or celebrate
in any manner, until it almost be-
come ancient history. All this is no
fault of our, but simply demonstrates
that the residents of Chequamegon
bay are just little in the lead. and
very frequently get the start of the
slow movements of the rest of the
world.
Well, what is the matter with this
base ball aggregation, anyhow?
