In accordance with the inc truction
and special order from the Federal
government, given some time ago, the
land office at Ashland was discon-
tinued, and closed it's doors for the
last time Saturday evening. The La
Crosse land office has some more work
on hand yet before it can be closed up,
but it will be no more within week.
This leaves but one such office in the
state of Wisconsin, that at Wausau.
The office at Ashland was established
many years ago. and has disposed of
many thousand acres of homestead
lands to settlers in the northern part
of the state. The lands coming under
it's Jurisdiction having been practically
all taken up by homeSteaderS. there
was no longer any use for an Office at
this place, as the cost of maintenance
was too great for the results obtained,
This is the same reason that the La
Crosse Office was closed. Recorder
Miller will continue to have charge
| of the WauSau land office.

A BIG METEOR
Flashes Through the Sky and
Into Wisconsin River.

In full sight of a large CROWD ol
people Sunday evening at about nine
O'Clock, a huge meteor, coming from
the northeast, flashes across the city
only few feet above it, and dropped
with loud noise into the Wisconsin
river about hundred yards above
Williams island. The bridge was
crowded at the time the object ap.
peared, and many persons ON the
streets also saw it, their attention
being attracted to it by it's brilliancy.
1t was just shortly before nine
O'Clock that the object appeared, and
from the peculiar Kissing sound it
made, it could have been only couple
hundred feet above the earth. Its
course was directly down river, and it
passed Immediately above the bridge.
1t glowed with brightness that was
binding. and seemed to emit shower
OF sparks, giving it the appearance
of comet, though the tail was not
very pronounced. The kissing sound
could be heard till it struck the wa ter
about hundred yards above Will.
liam'S island and near the east shore
Of the river. When it came in con-
tact with the water, it mace loud
boom, similar to the noise caused by
the discharge of a gun. A loud sizzle
for moment, and it passed from
view.
From the apparent size of the
luminous body, and from the sound it
made in the air, the meteor must have
weighed at least ten or fifteen pounds.
1t seemed to be nearly a foot in dia-
meter, but this apparent size was due
more Or less to the luminous sparks
being thrown off from the meteor
1t was travelling at an enormous rate
OF speed, it's velocity when it struck
the river causing large spray Of
water to be thrown up, which could
be seen by the light of the meteor.

ANTI=PASS CASE
ARGUED HERE

Perhaps the most important case
that will come up before the Circuit
court for the fall term is anti-pasS
case, instituted by Attorney Angelo,
of Plainfield, for the Wisconsin
Central Railway company. This case
is being watched by people all over
the state. and will be argued as 3
court case toward the end of the term.
1t came up before the court at
Waushara, and as a preliminary step,
the defendant Angelo was found
guilty as charged, ie., riding on and
accepting pass issued by corpora
tion for services rendered them. being
at the time an officer nf the state OF
Wisconsin and coming therefore under
| the scope of the law.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1905-10-03

Immediately upon his being held
guilty, his ATTORNEYS, Park and Car
penter of Stevens Point, made mo-
tion for suspension of judgement and
to have no sentence passed upon him,
alleging that the law was and is un-
constitutional, and that Angelo should
not have been arrested. The court
term ended at Waushara before the
case could be finished, and the attor-
neys in the case agreed 70 have the
final arguments before Judge Webb at
his home town. Grand Rapids, and to
have them come up at this term of
court. The state is represented in the
case by District Attorney Kileen of
Waushara and Attorney Corcoran
from the Attorney Generals Office.
Case in Good Hands.
Those who will have the action in
charge are, on both sides, prepared to
call in other counsel on the matter,
should they deem it necessary. First
class legal talent has the matter in
charge now, and if necessary, the best
in the state will be called in to deter
mine whether the law is unconstltu-
tiOnal or not.
Judges Decision as Good as Final.
It is highly probable that after the
matter is argued, Judge Webb will
take some time to review the case be-
fore giving his decision, as is Gus
tomary with him on matters of any
Importance. The evidence will be
carefully weighed, and all the opinions
carefully considered, before the Judge
will indicate his decision in the mat
ter. When that opinion is given, the
state can well rest assured that the
Justice in the case rests as indicated
by his opinion. As matter of form
the matter will undoubtedly be carried
before the state Supreme Court, as
this is necessary in accordance with
the form laid down in the constitu-
tion for determining the legality of
any measure. But should Judge Webb
decide that the measure is not in ac-
cordance with the constitution, it is
almost assured that his decision will
be upheld by the supreme court, and
vice versa.
