The White River Lumber Com
pany's big mill at Mas on is having
all sorts Of difficulties A week or
two ago the institution was closed
on account of a strike, and last week
a four inch steel shaft few TO pieces
and raised havoc in he mill. Luck
lily no one was hurt, although the
force OF the shaft would have demol-
ished any person had they been in
the pathway of its flight. The mill
will be closed for several days.
Manager Egan, of the bowling
alley. has put in new alley into
his place during the week, making
three alleys ia use. Other improve
ments have been made about the
place, and the alley is now up to
standard in all respects. Charles
Arnold has also received the alleys
for his new bowling establishment,
and the same are being placed in
readiness for the public, and the
place will doubtless be doing bust
ness in the course of a day or two.
There is great interest in the
sport just now and the alleys are
being well patronized by ladies and
gentlemen.
A Finlander was brought over
from Iron River last week in a much
battered condition, the result of an
attempt to take his own life. While
in his room he endeavored to hammer
his brains out with lamp .and
failing in that went down in the din
ing room where he broke some of the
glass ware and attempted to cut his
throat. He was frustrated and
medical aid summoned the physicians
prouncing him insane. He was
brought to this city where DR..
Mertens dressed his wounds and
latter Deputy Sheriff Welton took
him to the asylum at Oshkosh. The
man made considerable trouble on
the way by his insane vagaries.
One of the finest window displays
we have seen for long time is that
of Mr.. Bergman s at his hardware
store. Mr.. Bergman did the work
himself and 1t shows no little skill
and artistic ability. The device is
'The Liberty Bird convent ional-
lied as in the American coat of arms
and made entirely Of hardware sun
dries, spoons, screws, nails. etc.
The colors al e black, gold and silver
with back ground of black which
sets off the figure and makes the
color scheme very effective. Ra-
dating from the center piece at the
back are streamers, of red, white
and blue crepe paper. The window
is well worth walk to the store to
see. By the way Washburn mer-
chants are we'll up to the times in
the matter of window rcorations
and some of the work is second to
none seen in the cities.
