The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1903-06-11


Il. Z. Holgren was in the city Fri
day evening on business. Mr.. Hol-
gren was passing around Athe cigars
and receiving congratulations, and
he confidentiallv impaired the news
that tits boy and weighs twelve
and half pounds. !" All parties are
doing well, including Ernest, who is
rapidly recovering.
The big mogul 286 of the Omaha
road, Engineer FSrrell, was derailed
on the dock track Tuesday noon.
She was going down the hill and on
account Of the slippery rails she
could not be stopped before reaching
the derail. No one was injured and
but little damage was done.
John Hansen, formerly supeli in
tendent Of the telephone company
here who recently resigned and
went to Spokane, Washington, has
returned and will 90 to work for the
company at Appleton. Mr.. Hansen
was not pleased with the western
country.
Gilbert Olson was elected chief Of
the fire department in the election
held last week by members of
the fire compan es. Mr.. Olson is one
of the Oldest firemen in the town and
no better selection could be made.
He is good fire fighter and a prop
.er person for the place.
DR.. J. R. Straw, the eye, ear and
nose specialist of Ashland, com
mitted suicide one day last week in
the Dodd Hospital at Ashland. DR..
Straw has been to poor health for a
long time, and for several months
his been very erratic. He formerly
| enjoyed large practice at Ashland.
E. Bryan has been appointed as q
member Of the library board in place
of I. @. McWilliams, who declined
to serve any longed, feeling that the
five or six years he has been on the
board was sufficient for him.
Judge w. I'll. Irish and Mrs. d. w.
Corning, whose terms expired. were
reappointed for the coming three
years.
Just why the Washburn couple
who had been living together for
over year should go to the expense
OF having justice Kinney marry
them is something Of query. BIT
perhaps Jim wanted the honor OF
tying the knot and threw in the fee
in order to perform. the ceremony.
Now if one or two other couples
would take like trouble it might look
better.
Henry Prudhomme formerly OF
Washburn but now of Portland
Oregon, is here on visit Henry is
still with the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, and is on his way to
a meeting of the Hundred Thousand
Dollar club of that company. He
reports all the old Missionaries in
the west as doing well and enjoys
life there himself. He will return
west IN October.
A number of the teachers have AL
ready been hired, in fact majority
of this years force will return. OF
the high school teachers probably all
will be back except Miss Burnett.
The schools have employed this year
thirty five teachers IN town and
country and there are now petitions
before the board for four new
schools which will need to be built
this year, The expense will be con-
siderable but as the country
develops school must be provided.
Captain Brewer, of the Steamer
[Lucile has been fined 500 for leaving
his boat in charge of captain
whose papers were not sufficient to
entitle him to sail such a boat as the
Lucille. The Captain will appeal the
lease. It's striking pretty HARD for
] the government to.impose so heavy
a fine upon a man who has for SC
many years been one of the rsos'
| faithful captains and boat owners on
4 the whole chain Of lakes.
