The meeting held in schroeder's
hall Saturday was very largely attend
ed by the farmers Of the community.
All were enthusiastic over the Far
mer's Lumber Yard. 1t is the purpose
of this company to buy the Noble &
DIESEL yards at this place. Officers
and directors were appointed but were
unable to get their names at present.
However, the enterprise is sure of
success as some of the most influential
farmers in this vicinity are interested.
The past week has developed some
very interesting times in Schleswig re-
garding telephone matters. About
two months ago petition was present
ed the town council by the Bell Tele-
phone Co. asking the right to set poles
in the alleys of Schleswig, also to OPP
crate toll station at this point. The
petition was unanimously voted down,
as the town dads did not think it nee
essary to support two lines here.
Nothing daunted, the Bell people kept
building their line from Kiron towards
this point and arrived at the outskirts
of the town the forepart of last week.
Their plans were easily observable to
the Schleswig Co. and the latter did
not propose to let them "steal'
march if it could be prevented. Ac-
cordingly watches were set by day and
night to prevent them from setting
coles, etc., on the streets in the deao
of night when everybody was wrapped
| in slumber. However, no more work
was done by the Bell people until last
Thursday night when about nine
O'Clock they We're discovered
working around the Green Bay lumber
yard, where they had set pole just
inside the fence and stretched thell
wire from the highway to this pole,
thence over the top of the shed into the
DR.. Fuester office adjoining where al
instrument was installed. They were
in for the present, however, but some
thing was bound to happen. The mex
day Mr.. Shepherd, the auditor of thu
Green Bay, ordered all wires and thu
pole removed from the company
premises and on Monday of this weel
large force of men with two 40-foo
poles came up from Denison to RICH
the matter. An attorney accompanied
them with the book of law under hi
arm. The wires and pole were remov
ed but the big poles were never set il
the alley or anywhere else. We don
know Just what transpired between tn
big attorney and Mayor Schultz, bu
something evidently dropped and tn
workmen, Manager Larson and the at
, torney pulled for Denison, taking wit
them wire and poles. Whether tn
matter will come up in District cour
or not remains to be seen, but we un
derstand that this is the intention 9
the Bell people. In the meantim
they are down and out. Nothing ne'
has developed since last Monday
Whether or not the attempt to com
] again will be made is not known, br
] we understand the home company Wi
+ fight them to standstill at ever
turn.
