The severe electrical storm which
visited the city Monday evening
played havoc with electrical convey
ors in the city. The first heavy
crash set all the fire alarm whistles
in the city in an uproar and the de-
partments responded only to find
that the elements had worked
hoax upon them. The heaviest sui
ferers from the storm were the tele-
phone people who had about thirty
five instruments burned out. This
is the third storm this summer that
has made trouble for them in that
respect.
Will Wright, the son of Engineer
Wright of the Robbins logging road
had the misfortune to break leg on
the landing of the company at Sioux
River this week. He was assisting
the crew in unloading logs, which he
had been warned not to do when the
cant hook with which he was hand
ling the logs struck him between the
knee and ankle making compound
fracture. DIR. Mitchell was called
and had the young man taken to
Rinehart s ospiaal at Ashland where
it was necessary to wire the broken
ends together. He will be laid up
for some time.
The expected ball game Sunday
did not materialize. WIZ Their the
boys of the mining district had heard
of Tim s colts and did not Care to
give them show to do them up, or
whether there was some oil er excuse
is unknown, but they failed to put
in an appearance and the day was
passed without game. Late Sun
day evening Manager Kearns re-
ceived q telegram stating that they
had missed the train, but whether it
has done tentionally or not it did
not say. Next Sunday they expect
a game with Bayfield, at that place,
and it will be a warm one. There is
always more or less rivalry between
the two towns over the ability Of
their respective bunch of ball tossers
and this is the first time they have
met this year and will possibly be
the last so, good deal of interest
centers in the game.
Last Sunday was big day for
the fishermen. There were a num-
Der of parties out from here and ali
report splendid catches. The trout
season ends this month, and there is
little time left for the anglers so
they are making the most OF it. The
year has been a bao one, altogether,
for fishing this year and the trout
have had snap. There has been SO
much bad weather that it has been
almost impossible to find the streams
in condition TO fish. Then, too, the
weather has been very cold most of
the time and cold weather is not
good fishing weather. With the
opportunity the fish baye had to es
cape capture this year there ought
to be some excellent sport in the
streams Of the county next year.
While the season has been poor for
trout the professional fishermen who
90 after the lake fish have been reap
ing a harvest. For long time the
fishing Oh the shores of the lake has
not been as good as it has been this
summer.
