Regarding Cole Case.

4
| Oscar A. Cole. who objected TO the
| appointment of Charles r. Blumenfeld
of this city as one OF the three trustees
of his fathers estate, won on his appeal
from the order OF appointment by the
county court Of Jefferson county, which
was also sustained by the circuit court
The opinion was handed down by Jus
tice Cassidy:
Judgment reversed and cause re-
manded with directions to reverse that
part of the order and Judgment of the
county court which appointed Charles
r. Blumenfeld as one of the trustees
and remand case to county court for
further proceedings in accordance with
opinion OF this COURT
At meeting of the city council held
October 1, 1901, communication was
read from the county court of Jefferson
county to the effect that two trustees
of the John w. Cole estate, D. FL. Beul-
haus and E. E. Wieman, had filed their
designations and that it would be nee
essary to select two in their stead, sub
ject to the approval of the interested
parties. At the same me eting on mo-
tlOn of Aid. jacob, the committees on
finance and judiciary were intrus:ed to
select two trustees, such trustees to be
recommended to the county court. At
a regular meeting Of the council held
October Is. 1901, the committees re-
ported the names of w. D. Sproesser
and G. R. BlumenfeId and the report
was adopted. When the names were
presented to the county court objection
was made to them by Oscar A. Cole,
son of John W. Cole and one of the
trustees OF the estate, and he submitted
the names ofW. C. Raue and John Hab-
hegger. The court finally named as
trustees, John Habhegger and G.. R.
Blumenfeld. The appointment of Mr..
Blumenfeld did not suit Mr.. Cole and
he appealed from the order to the cir
cult court. where the order was sus-
talned, and appeal was taken to the
supreme court, The case was argued
several weeks ago by Attorney Harlow
4 Pease for the city and John M. Olin for
Oscar Cole.
Oscar Coles contention has been that
the council committees should have
conferred with him regarding the Sc
lection OF the two trustees who were to
act with him.-Daily Times.

Burglars Rifle Safe at johnson Creek
Burglars entered the general store
Of the VIM. Schallert Co. at johnson
Creek Monday night and forced en-
trance to the vault taking about $50
from the strong box. Judging from
their work they must have been ex.
perts. No clue has been found of the
burglars and they will probably escape
unpunished. Burglaries of this nature
are becoming altogether too numerous,
probably due to the fact that the
punishment is altogether inadequate
in the few instances when one of these
criminals is caught. They should re-
ceive life sentence and when chat is
done we may expect the fraternity to
gradually die out,-Jefferson County

Was A Big Winner.


Unlike most fairs that have been held
this year, where the weather has been
bad and the societies were compelled
to dig down into their Golfers and paw
up premiums, the fair held here last
week will probably show larger clear
surplus, than even those that have had
good weather. While as yet no correct
estimate can be given as to the amount
OF money that was made over and above
all expenses, the officials claim that it
will be no less than $4,000.
Not only was the fair record break
r in profits but the attendance was
the largest ever known, and it is doubt
fll if there will be county fair held
this year that will come up to the
mark. While the attendance on Tues
day and Wednesday was something
unusual, the plum went to Thursday.
when more than 1900 people passed
through the gates. A rough estimate
places Tuesdays attendance at 1000,
Wednesdays at 1000 and Fridays at
5000; this together with the 10000 of
Thursdays making in all $4,000 people
that saw the big show
The success OF the fair is NO doubt due
partly to the favorable weather and
to the way in which the affai: was
handled. All credit is due the officers,
who advertised extensively and procur-
ed only attractions that were bound to
win. While it can be said that never
before were there as many fakirs and
gam blers in town as there were last
week, there were few violations and
few arrests, the latter being mostly for
drunk and disorderly conduct. Not
single accident was reported, the affair
being pulled off in manner for which
the fair officials and officers are to be
congratulated for the way in which
the crowds were handled.
A CLOSE CALL.
The only one thing that occurred that
nearly marred the last days program,
happened Friday morning. A gasoline
stove that was in lunch stand adjoin-
ing the Floral Hall exploded. and for q
time it looked as though a serious con-
aagratiou would put an end to the last
days festivities. The blazing oil from
tbs stove was spread all over the sta, d
and some of it struck the building in
which there were many thousands of
dollars worth of goods. With strong
vino tanning the flames it is hard to
estimate what the damage would have
been had not the state agent, +. W.
Schell, of the Advance Fire Appliance
company been on hand with few tubes
of the fire extinguisher, known as
"Blaze Killer AS it was it was but
the work of few moments when the
contents of the tubes was thrown upon
the flames and it was all over. The
preparation that exJinguished the blaze
is in a powder form and certainly
proved it's worth upon this occasion.
Mr. Scnell is soliciting among the
manufacturers and business houses. for
the sale of the new extinguisher and
thus far he has met with success. The
company is located in Milwaukee.
