tHE BARRON CO. JAIL
Escapes of Prisoners Are Accounted
For in Weakness of the

An article which we print below was
published last week in the Rice Lake
leader and is vouched for by Sheriff
Xnutson. The sheriff had wished to
Keep the thing secret until the meet
ng of the county board and then de-
nonstrate to them where the jail was
7eak, but one to whom he spoke con-
dentially told the Leader man and
lere is, of course, no reason for further
ecrecy- The young man mentioned in
le Leader was George Stowell and the
scovery was the work of genius and
i'll make future jail deliveries much
ore difficult task. The young man
'ould be rewarded for his honesty and
3adiness to aid the county in strength
ming the jail.
Since the disclosure has been made
theirs, including the sheriff and dis
rict attorney, have been locked in the
ell and all have easily got out.
Ex-Sheriff j. A. II. Johnson, who was
caller at this office last week,
vas also severely criticized for Jail de-
iveries during his term of Office. He
.ells us of a tramp who once made a key
)ut of wood and unlocked this strong
Jox and also of another set of safe
blowers who sawed several locks for
aim and although he made diigent

SHEEP SEASON CLOSED
The Last Shipment from the Sheep
Ranch Went to the Market
Wednesday,.

The firm of Tubbs, Foy & Stericker
Brothers shipped their last consignment
of sheep from their Rusk county ranch
to the Chicago markets Wednesday.
In this consignment were about 5000
sheep something like half of the
flocks that the firm brought here from
the western ranges this season. The
balance had been shipped in previous
consignments, some of them within a
few weeks of their being received
from the western ranges.
It is evident from the appearances
of the animals at the time they were
received and when shipped that the
wild land pasturage of Rusk county
has an efficiency that should be taken
into consideration by all who have any
interest in forage.
Messrs. .Tubbs. Foy & Stericker
Bros. are experienced people-men of
keen insight and excellent judgment
in a word, successful men.
Their selection of Rusk county for
this enterprise and the success attend
ing it the first season should be con-
vincing.
But these people have not alone seen
the merits of Rusk county in their own
line.
They appreciate the value of the

BRICK AGAIN TALKED
Gentleman Here Looking into the
Proposition with Strong
Probabilities.
Probabilities.

A gentleman, who for the present
prefers not to have his name mentioned,
was in the city Monday and considered
the matter of establishing a brick yard
in Ladysmith- probably at the Little
john clay bank.
This man is experienced at the busi-
ness, having served time in all branches
of brick making. He was at first in
clined to the idea that there was not
enough demand in Ladysmith and ad-
jacent towns to warrant the operation
of plant, but a canvass Of the situation
resulted in change of opinion on that
score and convinced him not only that
the field is amply large, but that it is
an excellent one that will grow from
year to year.
1t is too late, of course, for operation
this year, but the visitor has gone away
fully convinced that the establishment
of such an industry here is good busi-
ness proposition and one that should
not be neglected.
The clay bed on the M. Littlejohn
place has been given practical test
and found to be fine brick material,
free from intermixture of materials
that effect the product.

ested in the establishment of industries

The New Cheese Factory.

Mr.. Jordan has returned to Ladysmith
in the interest of the cheese factory he
is to locate here. The lots necessary to
accommodate the plant have been Sc
cured on the south side and the work
of construction will be completed and
machinery installed in time for the
coming season. This assures a good
market for milk and our farmers should
plan for the largest possible number of
cows for next year.
The News has learned of several
farmers who have taken up the question
of increase in stock and doubtless this
action will be general throughout the
community.

FIRE IN LUMBER YARD
Westboro Lumber Company Sustains
Heavy Loss from Fire.

Westboro Lumber Company sustains
Heavy Loss from Fire.
What come near proving a most
disastrous fire broke out in the West
boro Lumber company's yard at 2
O'Clock last Friday afternoon. The
fire originated from the planning mill.
Twenty four piles of lumber were de-
stroyed, the loss being $4,000 with an
insurance of $4,000. Medford and
Phillips were wired for assistance, both
departments responding. The Med
ford company reached here in IS
minutes after the call was made and
the Phillips company but two minutes
later. After much hard work the fire
was got under control but it was not
until nearly 8 O'Clock in the evening
that the danger was averted. West
boro had a very narrow escape from
losing it's most important industry.

Rse2rch at different times he never sue
ceeded in finding the saws.
1t is now thought most probable that
the crooks who got out during Mr.. john
sons term of office, being desperate
men, were familiar with the mechanism
Of similar locks and that they took the
method just discovered in making good
their escape. Mr. johnson reputation
for integrity, as we'll as that Of Sheriff
Knutson, is apparently .vindicated by
this discovery and most people will ex-
.onarate both from any blame they
might have attached to these officials
for the jail deliveries during their re-
;spective terms of Office.
''When the last Jail delivery occurred
at the county bastile at Barron, agood
many accused Sheriff Knutson of neg
lect. The sheriff was sorely disappoint-
ed over his hard luck and strongly
suspicioned that the prisoners who es-
capped had received help from outside.
All efforts made by him to find out the
facts were for naught. But one day
as if by godsend, his problem was
solved. Several weeks previous to that
day a young man near Barron was
given a county jail sentence. 1t hap
pened that during his sojourn in the
county jail he had no companions, he
being the only one serving time. Tired
of staring at the ugly bars around him
he looked for something to interest him
and became lost in study over the
mechanism of the cage lock. A little
thought and persistent trying rewarded
his efforts and 10! he walked out of the
cage into the corridor of the jail. 1t
is needless to explain how easily ltwas
done. 1t sufficeth to say that this
Young man did not want to leave the
iail He told the sheriff of his dis
covery and at once Mr.. Knutson had
the solution to the Jail delivery, and
without the slightest doubt, to the jail
deliveries at Barron in previous years.
1t is gratifying to many of Mr.. Knut-
son S Ir1SIlOS UO hIlOW LlldC llS lids N1llui-
Gated himself before the eyes of the
most critical and disclosed to the public,
proof that the Barron county Jail as it
is ordinarily locked, is but a safe place
for children, say nothing of the des-
peradees it may be called upon to har-
Dor.
1t is difficult to explain, how the jail
lock can be opened, owing to the fact
that few readers of this article are
familiar with the merchanism OF the
lock. The fact is, however, that by the
continual working of a clasp, pin tnal
holds it in place gives way and provides
a hole to get at the inner workings of q
large box that holds the levers, ETC.,
that operate the door, and these levers
can be worked by the round of a chair
or any small implement handy.
Needless to say, Sheriff Knutson has
added another lock to make future de-
liveries impossible,

SURVEYING POWERS
Engineers Are Determining the Water
Falls of the Flanbeau
River.

V. H. Rineking of Milwaukee, F. F.
Post of Black River Falls and G. G.
Claridge of Reedsburg are in the city
on a surveying trip. Their mission is
to determine the water powers of the
Flambeau river on behalf of the state.
They will make a survey of all the
water power opportunities of the river
and their report will be state record.
The News has been persistent on the
future value Of the water powers of
Rusk county and it appears that there
are others who appreciate their value.
There is no question that these pow
ers will soon be developed and their
use have an inmeasurable influence on
population and land values.

HARDWOOD SITUATION
Review of Hardwoods AS Seen by
Strode's Lumber World of
CHICAGO.


Everyone in Rusk county is more
or less interested in the hardwood
situation. We reprint the following
from C. D, Strobe, the veteran lumber
editor:
It would be difficult. indeed, to say
anything new about the hardwood sit
uation. The market has been so to say
stationary for such long time that it
is hard to find anything worthy of par
ticular notice to review in connection
with it. And yet, when all is said, the
hardwood markets are not dull-there
is something doing in all of them, but
yet the aggregate in any one of them is
not large, taken severally. Yet, when
the total of transactions is summed up,
there is pretty fair average business
being done in the leading hardwoods.
Plain oak is still leading the demand,
as it has for some time past, but quar-
tered oak is improving, and poplar and
hickory and cottonwood are sharing in
the demand to some extent. Gum also
is in better demand, and birch and
cherry and Eastwood are in moderate
request. The furniture factories, car
builders and others who consume large
quantities of hardwoods are expected
to come into the market before long,
and it is believed that when they do
it will be for some large requirements.
The planning mills are ordering quite
freely of hardwoods for interior finish
at nearly all points throughout the

MORE INDIANA PEOPLE
J. r. Vinnedge Brings Them to
Rusk County.

Rusk County.
j. R. Vinnedge of Plymouth, Ind,
was in the city Wednesday and Thurs
day with party of three land seekers,
who. after an investigation of soil, ETC..
announced themselves pleased with the
situation and will undoubtedly make
purchases, but we are not informed to
what extent.
Mr.. Vinnedge expects to come up
again the first of November with more
homeseekers. He is enthusiastic on
Rusk county opportunities, says that
this season has been only a skicmish
line operation and that next year he
intends to make Indiana people ac-
quainted with our country on a wide
scale.
Mr.. Vinnedge was so we'll pleased
with the land literature gotten out at
the News Office that he placed an order
for supply thus we do our part in

The JAIL ADVANCES
Promises to Be Completed at an
Early Date.

Early Date.
The jail contractor has pushed the
work Of construction with such rapidity
that it is now ready for the roof, which
will require four or five days time and
will be put on as soon as we get a
moments weather.
The balance of the work, occording
to supervising architect, D. F. Manley,
will require about month of time and
with the roof completed, can be carried
on without delay.
It is probable that the building will
be completed by December first instead
of January first as provided in the
contract.
The building now presents a pleasant
appearance.
