have been almost impossible to have

PRINTING WAS ILLEGAL
County Board Has not Observed the
Law in Publishing It's
Proceedings.

1t is clearly shown by the law that
the publication of the proceedings of
the county board of commissioners of
Gates county has been contrary to the
statutes from the organization of the
county to the present time.
The law is distinct and clear. There
is no opportunity for misconstruction.
1t says in the plainest terms that the
proceedings of each session, regular or
special, shall be published in news
paper within sixty days after such ses-
sion is held. Not once in the four
years that Gates county has existed
has this provision of the law been COM
piled with.
The law provides farther, that such
proceedings may also be published in
pamphlet form, but by no manner of
Interpretation can the publication in
pamphlet form be made to take the
place of the publication in newspaper
within sixty days of each meeting of
the board of supervisors. We refer to

of Existence

Fort Worth, Tex, May 10. Reports
over railroad wires to Fort Worth say
messages from Snyder. Okla, to the
train dispatcher of the Frisco at Sa-
pulpa, l. T., are to the effect that a
tornado struck Snyder tonight, wreck
ing the town and killing five hundred
people. Relief is asked for. A mes
sage to the train dispatcher sent by the
Fort Worth Record asking information
was answered as follows:
1--WE have the same report and are
sending relief train on the supposition
that it is true. Wires all down."
The telegraph operator at Chickasaw,
I. T. states that he talked over the
telephone with Hobart, Okla, nesr
Snyder, and that all wires in the vicin-
ity of Snyder are down but relief trains
are being sent from several directions.
Snyder is a town of 1000 people in Kio-
wa county, Okla, located on the Fris-
co railroad, forty-fve miles north of
Vermont.

chapter 298 of the laws of 1901.


Why this irregularity? Why has not
the law been complied with? The coun-
ty has had legal advisor-or has been
supposed to have had one-paid a hand
some salary and this is sample of
the service returned. Didn't Mr.. Nc
Gill know the requirements of the law?
Doesn't the present district attorney
know it? Why have they not advised
the county board of supervisors that
the law requires them to publish their
proceedings within sixty days after
each meeting? What is the use of
having a district attorney-or suppos-
ing we have one-paying a handsome
salary on the supposition- if such is to
be the result.
Perhaps it would be as we'll if the law
didn't require such publication-we
don't think so, for we believe in public
ity-but we will assume that; then why
should not the law be observed because
it is the law? Perhaps it would have
been as we'll in Gates county during the
past four years if the law had not pro-
vided for a district attorney-bu but it does
so provide. And the good people have
paid about 1000 good dollars for what?

THEY WENT TROUT FISHING

Messrs. Ben c. Lee, Frank E. Mum
roe, w. S. Manning and H. C. Plimpton,
the latter visitor from Lafarge, went
trout fishing Monday. The scene of
their piscatorial endeavors was what is
known as the Moose Ear creek, stream
in Barron county, some ten miles or
more southwest of the village of Weyer-
haeuser.
Judge Manning says that they caught
upwards of sixty fine trout, but trout
stories are his long suit, as the whist
players would put it. Ben says they
captured a good many. Munrce says
the trip was a success, but he has been
suspected of hiring farmers boys to
make his catches. Mr.. Plimpton is
here for his health and prefers to COM
ment on the advantages of trips through

Frank J. Otis of Apollonia Sent to
Oshkosh.
Frank J. Otis of Apollonia had his
hearing on the question of sanity in the
county court Monday and was sent to
the Oshkosh institution for detention
and treatment.
The physicians who examined the un-
fortunate man say that he is suffering
from blood clot on the brain. He is
not violent. His trouble lies mainly in
imaginings or magnifed notions. One
feature is in his financial notions be-
lieving that his property is worth many
times it's actual value.
Monday evening, after the hearing,
Mr.. Otis suffered from an attack of
partial paralysis and is in very delicate
health.
Mr.. Otis has long been resident OF
Gates county and his many friends will
hope for his recovery.

and 100 injured, though these figures
may be too small

number of fatalities because the wreck

TRUE'S men ESCAPE
Gordon and Mclaughlin Run OFF
While officers Are Not
Looking

Gordon and Mclaughlin got away.
That is the story in it's briefest sum-
mary-the chapter in a sentence.
Upon their own request they were
taken before Judge Parish to plead
guilty of the charge of robbing the
homes of Geo. B. Goocher and John A..
Corbett some time ago. Sheriff True
and JAG. Speich took them before the
judge who gave Gordon four years and
Mclaughlin three years at the Waupun
penitentiary. The additional year for
Gordon was on account of his having
been former offender.
The trip for Waupun was then COM
menced and all went we'll till the quar-
tette reached Abbotsford where a
change of cars is the order of proceed
ings. Here it is said that the night
was dark with rain falling. Deputy
Speich preceded the prisoners in alight-
ing and Sheriff True was to follow
them, but the prisoners didn't under
stand the 'haw" and "gee" of We
other time OK drivers and wandered off
into the wilderness where tney are
said to be roaming in wonted content
edness.
Deputy Speich says that when he
alighted in the darkness and rain he
came into violent collision with bag
gage truck that threw his base without
the perpendicular and disconnected his
physical relations with the wayward
twain, that others who were standing
around crowded in and added to the
confusion and that the prisoners took
advantage of the moment under inspir-
alton of the theory made more evident
by this episode that "there is a tide in
the affairs of men that, taken at the
ebb, leads onto the wilderness.
Sheriff True has a force after the
men and it is the wish of Ladysmith
people that these bad people shall be
recaptured.

AN EXTENSIVE BRIDGE.
The Flambeau Railway Structure
An Interesting and Import
ant one.

anu one.
The Owen & Northern railway bridge
will be an interesting one in many re-
spects. It's height will be attractive to
the future travellers over the line.
Passing over it from the south will
have the effect of a shot into the air
and from the north a gradual leaving
of the ground as the structure is ap-
preached.
The bridge proper will be one of three
spans, one of which will be 148 feet in
length and the other two $50 feet each.
The piling, the driving of which in the
hardpan and rocks has consumed so
much time, are of the extreme length
of 70 feet and the task of inserting them
has been one of the most difficult in
that line of work. There are several
hundred piles on the bridge. On the
top of these piles at the north will be
trusses to extend the elevation some
thing like ten feet higher making the
track about 70 feet above the water.
1t is the plan of the company to imbed
the pier piling in solid concrete work
and the abutment work in gravel which
will preserve the timber almost in
definitely.
This bridge will be one of the highest
and best structures of the kind in the
state, likewise one of the most expen-
sive
The News is advised that the engin-
eering corps has succeeded in the de-
sire of the Owen & Northern in the
matter of the reduction of grades.
With one exception, the hill out of
the lake region, the greatest grade

northbound q feet. There is no other
road in central or northern Wisconsin
approaching it on this respect.

fic from the iron mines of the lake
region.
The successful effort at the reduc-
ton of curvature is another important
feature the two being a combination
always desirable and latterly indis-
pensable-to successful railroading.
Another feature of this road will be
of interest to News readers. It is that
the embankment of this roadbed is to
be sixteen feet at the top. The usual
width is IL feet. The track is to be at
one side of the center of the embank-
ment, apparently with view to max
ing it double-track line. Thus we
are getting more than we bargained
for.
