Bishop Weller, of Fond.du Lac,
spent two or three days in the city
last week. While here the Bishop
was an interested auditor at the
political addresses made by Cover
nor LaFollette and Mayor Rose.
The Bishop expects to send rector
here to take charge of the work OF
the Episcopal churches in Wash
burn and Bayfield, in the near future.
The case of the state of Wisconsin
against John and Angus Mcdonald,
and William Quinn, charging them
with highway robbery, occupied the
attention of a jury in the circuit
court. The prosecution main tanned
that Quinn and Mcdonald had en-
tered the saloon of one Anderson,
and robbed him of $140, and that the
other Mcdonald was implicated in
the holdup. The jury acquitted the
defendants, and came very nearly
being reproved by the Court to1
their verdict. From the remarks Of
Judge Parish it was quite clear that
he did not approve OF the verdict.
Mr.. II. I. Latimer and family left
yesterday for their new home at
Mellen. Mr.. Latimer has just fin
ished the building of a new home at
that place, and they will move into
it at once. The new lumber COM
.pany of which Mr.. Latimer is a
member is doing a prosperous bust
ness, and the Mellen enterprise is
turning out most successfully. Mr..
Latimer and family have lived in
this city for several years, and dur
ing most of that time Mr.. Latimer
occupied the position of manager OF
the Thompson mill. The family are
among the very best that have ever
lived in Washburn, and everyone
here wishes them prosperity and
happiness in their new home.
Nels Myhre, the republican candi-
date for register of deeds, was in the
city during the week, calling on
some of the republican voters. Mr..
Myhre lives at Mason. and received
his nomination as the candidate
from that place. He stands very
highly in the southern part of the
county where he is best known, and
the fact that he is one of the outside
candidates, and thoroughly repre-
sentative Scandinavian and a wide
! awake and progressive citizen of the
county, gives him prominence
among the candidates for positions
on the county ticket. He is
thoroughly competent to fill the re-
sponsible position to which he
aspires, and he will doubtless ex.
perience no trouble in securing
enough votes to elect him to the
position for which he is a candidate.
w. A. Loveland has been here
from Sioux City, Iowa, for several
days, and he and John Rumford
have been busy showing prospective
new settlers their land throughout
Bayfield, county. Among the new
settlers they have secured during
the past week were George O..
Younglove and W. G.. Wallace, of
Dakota City, Nebraska. Mr..
Younglove purchased 200 acres of
land in section q, town 48, range 6,
while Mr.. Wallace has 100 acres
in section 30, of the same town.
Both men are practical farmers and
stockraisers, and have sold their
farms in Nebraska at from $40 to $50
an acre, and are justas well satisfied
with their five dollar an acre land
of Bayfield, county. which they say
is just as good as the land they are
leaving. They will bring their fami-
lies here right away, and expect to
open up good farms.
