| An island situated in what is known
as Blue or Rusk lake has been surveyed
and will be placed on the market at the
U. 5. land office in this city Sept 4th
The island, though small, was at one
time quite valuable. 1t was heavily
timbered but every pine tree has been
stolen off it, for which act man named
Taylor was several years tried by a
United States court. A curious freak
of nature is to be seen in this lake. Al
though the island is several hundred
feet distant from shore, both are con-
nected. A sand bar, just wide enough
for person to walk upon, runs out
from the shore to the island, and is be-
lieved by some to have been built by
the aborigines perhaps hundreds of
years ago. BY others it is looked upon
as work of Nature The lake is easily
reached by a few minutes travel from
either Hixon or Hazelhurst stations.
The island would make an ideal sum-
mer resort, and the lake is one of great
beauty. A peculiar species of the bass
family is found in it-a fish found in
few other lakes of Wisconsin.
j. K. Horn, marshal of Unity, came
overfrom that village Saturday having
in charge one, Peter Hines, who was
arrested on the charge of selling liquor
without license. Two saloon keepers
were hauled up for the same offense at
the same time but the other, Herman
Kops, secured.a continuance of his case.
Hines was tried before Justice White,
at Colby and was found guilty and
sentenced to pay fine of $50 and costs
or serve ninety days in the county Jail.
The trouble appears to have resulted
over the recent incorporation of the
village Both had state and town Ii
censes but after the village had
filed Incorporation papers they failed
to secure village license and kept on
doing business as before.

fined $500 and costs for carrying con-
cealed weapons. The defendant is the
father of Helen Hartig, the victim of an
alleged criminal assault by Geo. Braun.
At the time the latter was brought be-
fore a justice at Edgar two weeks ago
for hearing, before being transferred
to Wausau, Hartig appeared in court
and it was ascertained that he had q
revolver on his person. For what rea-
son he carried the weapon is not made
clear, but it is presumed by some that
he intended to do Braun violence in
case he was released The sheriff was
called upon to take the weapon away
from him.
