Receiver Frost a Check for
the Property.

The Washburn, Bayfield, &
Iron River Railroad, known
throughout the length and
breadth Of the land as the "Bat-
tie Axe is no more, and If there
be tears to be shed that it has
gone, they most certainly will be
tears Of joy. For six long years
there has hardly been a period
covering more than a few weeks
that something of the most
startling and disquieting nature
has not been brought out as che.
product of this nefarous railroad
which was built and managed id
the interests of coterie of
sharks who seemed utterly de-
void of that sense of honor in
business matters that should
form the foundation and bulwark
of a big enterprise. The old
Battle Axe is gone, and If there
are any who cannot say that they
are glad OF it then will those peo-
pie kindly stand up and exhibit
themselves to the curious public.
We can only throw over the
memory of the past the blanket
of charity, and in bidding fare
well to the enterprise extend the
usual courtesy due to the. de-,
parted, and say, MAY it's ashes
rest in peace. -
In compliance with the order
of the United States Court Re-
ceiver A. G. Frost came to Wash

at the hour of eleven o'clock an

ceive bids, and that no less sum
than S125, 900 would be accepted.
Mr.. James B. Kerr, assistant
general counsel of the Northern
Pacific railroad appeared as the
bidder, and deposited a certified
check for the amount uired.
The sale was held open for one
hour as directed by the decree,
and then it was declared that the
Northern Pacific was the owner

PRESIDENT Mellen and all his
principal officials.
1t is learned that the first work
that the new owners of the old
Battle Axe road, or the Northern
Pacific, will do, will be to place
the tracks in first class condition.
Work trains will run over the
line, and Mr.. Kerr stated Satur-
day, that the road would be made
equal to the main lines oe his
road. THE TINES i . n a
position to say just what the
Northern Pacific intends doing
here, but it is reasonably certain
that within a short time they will
commence the construction Of
docks and other terminal facili-
ties. Mr.. Kerr said that his
road would utilize the branch to
this city to handle all the bust
ness that could be possibly
brought here. Of course the
Northern Pacific people at'e not
purchasing the Battle Axe as a
matter of sentiment. with them
It is strictly business PROPOSE
ton. They have agreed to
Operate and continuously main
tain" their new property; they
hare secured the very best of
water frontage, they have large
shipping interests and are in
need of greater facilities for
handling the lake business. They
have everything to do with, and
there can be no question but
what they will utilize what they
have secured. Washburn now
has two competing lines of rail-
road, and the business men have
to remember that they must give
the new road the encouragement
that they are entitled to. Within
a very short time the road will be
operating under full swing, and
there is no danger of it ever
being torn up now.
As stated in these columns
last week the sum of $4,000 in
cash has been placedin escrow in
the Merchants National Bank OF
St. Paul, to be paid over to the
Northern Pacific people in case
the right of way and terminal
facilities desired by them was
not secured. The citizens COM
mittee have been making good
progress in securing the pro-
perty wanted, and inside of the
next two or three weeks prac-
tically all that is desired will be
turned over TO the Northern
Pacific, and the money that has
been advanced will come back TO
the town. Col. Wing will deed
the land held by him, the Hines
people will do the same, D. M.
MaXcy ard A. w Mcleod signi
fed their intention Of giving
deeds on the start, the Thomp-
son Lumber Company have also
said they would deed What pro
perry is wanted from them.
Akeley & Sprague willask COM
pensation, and there are other
interests that will have to be paid
small amounts.
Tie Battle Axe railroad was
born in the fall of 1895, and there
was voted for the aid ofthe enter
prise S24O.OOO of aid bonds. OF
these bonds $4,000 were de
clared illegal, and $4,000 more
are and have been for a year or
more in litigation. For the
bonds the county of Bayfield, re-
ceived certificates Of stock.

eff she wants to-"
'And you'll take all the risks ?"
"What risks do you mean ?"
"Waal, / hain't purity nor proud,
but the ole woman is, an yo'll hev
to take a twist out of her nose and
shorten up her chin little or she'll

and light on yo' like a turkey on a

here only survived two days after
takin' her pictur', and thought it
was only squar' to tell yo' about it. "
The artist declined to take the
risks, and the man picked up the
coonskin and went out, saying:
"Can't blame yo', stranger
can't blame yo' a bit. Yo' don't
want to be tore all to pieces and hev
this wagon wrecked fur the sake OF
