National Bank for Bayfield,.

A. Fl. Wilkinson has organized
. National Bank Tor Bayfield,, and
has secured the subscriptions for
stock OF nearly all the business ir-
terests of the place, and the institu-
ton is being capitalized for $25, 900.
The new company will take the
business OF the Lum bermen's Elk
charge, which has been rur by
William Knight for 9 number of
years. and will likely start in busi--
nees under tie new order OF things
within the next thirty days. This
will be the first national bank in tha
county and the manner in which Mr.
Wilkinson's efforts to start the bank
have been supported by his homo
people, must certainly mean that
the institution will be . success from
the start. Messrs. N. A. Spragus,
r. T. Yates and O. a. Lamoreaux,
Of this city, have charter for q
state bank for Bayfield,, which they
may start this summer. Ia case
they do Bayfield, will have two
banks.

THE LEGALITY TO BE TESTED,
The Circuit Court Issues Writ of Certiorapf
In Cases Instituted to Test New
Towns Hearing Likely to Be
Had Next Week.

Proceedings wereinstitute ] in
the circuit court yesterday to-
set aside the action of the coun-
ty board in creating the towns of
Orienta and Barnes. Attorney
Charles E. Morris appeared be-
fore the circuit court and filed a.
petition for writ of certiorari,
which was granted and the writ
issued. This writ commands
the county clerk to make immed-
late return Of all records in his
office, showing the creation Of the
new towns. The action in be-
half of Barnes is brought by
Albert Johnson. a homesteader.
and by Byron Ripley for the
town Of Orienta. While the case
is set for this week it will likely
not be brought up until next
week when Judge Parish will
convene special term at Ash
land.

Young Editor Will Have Bayfield,
County Delegates.
AN ORGANIZATION IS FORMED
The ssFavorite Son. Racket of Wall. of
Milwaukee, Is Discounted in This
County.-Democratic Leaders
Are In Hearst Column

If the democrats of Wisconsin
succeed in sending delegation
to the national convention for E.
G. Wall, the "favorite son" of
Ma. waukee, whose interests are
being advanced for the demo
cratic nomination for the presi-
dency, they will have to do it by
turning down a large number of
northern counties, one OF which
will be Bayfield, county. Tt is
understood in this part of the
state that the management of the
Hearst movement is being made
under the direc ion of Mayor
Burt Williams, of Ashland. A
week Or two ago Mr.. Williams
visited Washburn, and while he
was non-committal as to the OBJ
ject OF his visit it is supposed
that he was intervie wing demo
Gratis in the interests of the
Hearst candidacy. That he
must have been successful is un-
questioned, as it is positively
known that such well known
democrats as John O'Sullivan,
John Walsh, A, M. Warden, ].
N. Kinney, Fred Terrill, Chris.
Peterson, H. G. Hofert and Ole
Lake have been enlisted in the
Hearst movement, while at Bay
field Henry Wacksmith and N.
Boutin are in the Hearst column.
From an authentic source tits
learned that Hearst club will
be organized, and with such
leaders at the head of the move
ment Hearst will certainly have
nothing to worry about so far as
this county is concerned. The
young and hustling element of
the party seemsto be with the
Hearst movement and if Wall
carries Wisconsin he will have to
fight. Democratic harmony
in Wisconsin seems to be on a
par with that existing in the re-
publican party.

manner on the stand might have an
effect upon the jury. He claimed to
have registered for supper at the
Ashland Hotel in Ashland on the
night of the murder, and the pro-
prietor of the place, J. J. Mcdonald,
produced his register, and with it
the name of LaFay appeared as
sworn by to the prisoner. Mcdonald
did not remember of having seen La
Fay at his place that night. but
could not swear as to whether he had
been there or not, 1t is point ed out
that if LaFay registered at Ashland
for supper that it would be impossi-
BILE for him to have committed, the
murder, as he could not have reach
ed Sioux River from there at the
hour of which the tragedy occurred.
Gene Hawkes. swore to having hired
LaFay at Ashland at between $50
and 10 O'Clock the morning of the
10th to 60 to work at Topside, and
Richard Hawkes. offered evidenc
supporting that of his son.
Judge Parish run court until tie n
o'clock last night.
Mrs. Peter Ferguson gave evil
dence today that LaFay was at
Fraser's camp on the 18th and
Frank Vaughn and Willie Plucifer
testified to going into Ashland with
the defendant that evening. The
state will likely offer evidence in
rebuttal of these claims.

Coming Iron River Conference.

There should be general interest
and q big attendance at the meeting
called for Iron River March lst.
The call 10 published in another
part of this paper, and states it's
purpose. 1t is proposed to in some
manner bring the counties of Bay
field, Ashland, Douglas and Iron
closer together in united effort TO
promote the natural advan tages
which they possess, principally
along the line of inducing settle
Imentl OF agricultural lands. The
Iron River Pioneer, in speaking OF
the meeting, mas the following:
On March first conference of
citizens representing Douglas, Bay
field, Ashland and Iron counties will
be held in this city, the purpose Of
which is to formulate some plans
for united effort leading to the ad-
vancement of the agricultural in
terests of these northern counties.
Just what will come out of the con-
ference NO one knows, nor does any
one in tereste d in calling the confer
ence seem to have a defnate idea of
what can be accomplished at the
meeting. The idea is to get togeth-
err, compare ideas, end decide upon
the feasibility of forming an organ
ization.
Mr.. Fairall, of Superior, who is
devoting energetic work to interest
the citizens of the four counties in
the movement, writes the Pioneer
that in every city he visits he finds
great enthusiasm in the movement.
and that he estimates that not less
| than one hundred of the leading
citizens of Northern Wisconsin will
| be here. Iron River will be found
to be in line with any movement fol
the devel opment of the New NORTH
and nothing will be left undone tina
will tend to make the visit a pleas
/ ant one.
Iron River has been selected a
the meeting place because of its
cen trail location and easy access.

Incorporation Notes.

Just stop and ask yourself who
the men are in Washburn who are
opposing incorporation. Are they
the business men--are they the men
with large property interests-are
they the men who are in Washburn
to make their homes and to build up
the place? Every large tax payer
and nearly every prominent citi-
zen is in favor of a city form Of
government. If this class OF men
are in favor of incorporation it ought
to be pretty good sign that they
have figured out the benefits of the
change, and have concluded that the
best interests of the town can be
best served by doing away with the
bulky old system now in vogue.
The TIMES last week showed that a
saving of over s., 600 would be made
to the taxpayers this year by in
cooperating, and this to say nothing
OF the benefits that would accrue to
the place from the superior form of
government.
Do not be deceived when anyone
tells you that Incorporation will in
crease taxes. Look at the figures
given by the COMMITTEES in last
weeks TIMES, and if you are not
satisfied it will be an easy manner to
verify those figures. Washburn will
be way ahead by incorporating.
There 10 ton miles OF shore front
age in the proposed city Of Wash
burn. Conditions are such that this
big territory can be included this
year, but owing to the increased
valuation it will be absolutely i'm.
possible to incorporate with over
three miles OF shore frontage at any
future time. The opportunity for
incorporating this year is better
than ever before.
When called upon to look at fig
ures as to what the outside terri
tory has been paying for taxes In
comparison with the ''inside'' in
vestigate and find out what il meant
by inside" and outside" These
figures are made by the opposition
to incorporation in q deceptive way
Among the outside valuations will
be found the Thompson and South
Shore saw mills, the box factory
the coal dock and elevator, and near
ly all Of the bay shore. All THU
property properly belongs within
the village but has been assessed a:
acreage property year after yea
because it is not in plated lots.
| There is no legitimate argumen
against incorporation. There i
every argument in favor Of it.

dence Yesterday Afternoon.-The
State Places 19 witnesses on
Stand.-Alibi Is the Defense.

BY this evening the trial of George
LaFay, charged with the murder Of
Willie Ernst at Sioux River, August
10Th last will be either completed Or
practically brought to a close.
Judge Parish took up the case Tues
day, and after examining forty seyen
veniremen jury was finally selected
and the case went to trial It took
all of the forenoon and part of the
afternoon to get the list of twelve
good men and true, but they were
finally chosen, as follows: John
Taylor, Pratt. Albert Nemic, Cable;

Andrew Arntson, Washburn; James
Mclaughlin, Pratt.
The prosecution is being vigorous
I y conducted on behalf of the state
by Attorney William Y. Shea, of
Ashland, and he put nineteen wit
nesses on the stand in connection
with his part of the case. Joseph
Hall, the keeper of the boarding
house at Sioux River, and one of the
men who was robbed, was the
principal wit ness, and he identified
LsFsy as being the man who killed
Willie Ernst and who make the
robbery. William Starr gave evil
dence detailing the robbery, and
George Birmingham who slept that
night with young Ernst detailed the
account Of the shooting. John
Brooks, George Mott, Chris Roila,
Frank Smith, Joe Veno and John
OVERLY, swore to having seen La
Fay in Washburn on August 18th,
the day the murder was committed.
Mrs. Duffy LABEL described two
men whom she saw going towards
Sioux River on the night Of the
murder. Fred Terrill gave evidence
lin support of tho testimony given by
Veno. The Whereabouts of LaFay
for the two or three days after the
murder was traced through Wit
nesses, Joseph Bushy and Emil
Evenson having seen him on the
morning Of the Goth betwe Wash
burn and the dynamite plant. Rob.
ert Volkman claims to have seen the
defendants on the 21st at one OF the
Hines camps, and that the defend
ant had . revolver with him at the
time. Undersheriff Welton was
called to the stand and gave his YER
!, sion a. to the shooting and arrest.
John Blake also testified as to having
seen the prisoner on the Goth. Mrs
Savannah Jones, Of Ashland, swore
to LaFay having came to her home
on the forenoon of the Goth, and in
the course of conversation asking
whether she had heard of the s'kid
being killed at Sioux River" She
also swore that LaFay spoke Of
buying beer, saying he had money
Her stimony was corroborated BY
her son Arthur.
The state rested its case with the
above witnesses and the defenc
went on with their side at noon Wed
nesday. LaFay was put on tn
stand, and was under a fierce fir
from noon uatil supper time, and wa
+ recalled last evening. His storie
are conflicting and do not agree wit
the testimony given on the prelimil
airy hearing. On the whole h
evidence is quite unimportant. e
