There was quite gathering at Chris
Oleson's place last Tuesday evening
by number of the boys bringing their
instruments and all joining IN by hav-
ing music galore. At times the mu-
sic got to such high pitch that it
seemed as if the roof was going to fly
off, then again they quoted down and
all was as calm as ever.
Ed. Sheariers showed his skill as
marksman with gun Monday at Pos
sley's. He was standing talking with
the boys when he heard chicken
making a noise and upon looking to
find the cause of it all, saw hen-hawk
carrying away one of the chickens. Ed.
ran back and got his gun, fired at the
hawk, and killed him instantly with
out touching a feather Of the chicken.
When they fell to the ground the
chicken ran away as unconcerned as if
nothing happened.

$4,000 LUMBER DEAL

The Grand Rapids Lumber company
Of this city has sold 1920 acres of timber
land in Marathon county to the Weeks
Lumber company Of Stevens Point.
and the deal was closed this
week. The consideration paid for
the land was $4,000.
The timber will be logged and
sawed this winter by the Stevens
Point company. The reason the local
lumber company sold the land was
that the position of the tract was
such that too great an expense would
be incurred in bringing the logs to
this city. The timber is composed of
hemlock with some hardwood.

You have all heard this old one from
the town Of Harvey, North Dakota:
1t is reported that one Of the promi-
nent women of Harvey kneads bread
with her gloves On. She isn't the only
one-there are others. The editor OF
this paper is one Of the others. He
needs bread with gloves on, with a
shirt on; in fact with his shoes on; and
with his trousers on: the truth of the
matter is that unless more of the de-
linquent subscribers of the Harvey
Times pay up their subscription, he
will need bread without a darned
thing on, and the towp of Harvey in
North Dakota is no Garden of Eden in
winter time, either. ;.

we made the same amount, we would
have been heard from. Mote: the

Just four weeks from to-day we are
expected to look for the first crop Of

At that time the fall humorlstS (al-

question. Everyone should be pre-
pared for them. Shotguns and ice
picks can be had on application.

CAUGHT AFTER
LONG CHASE

Sheriff w. e. Little brought to the
city Tuesday evening. Gust Boetcher,
whom be has been looking for and at
tempting to capture for more than
half year. but without success till
at this time, when be caught him in
Dakota. Now he has him securely
locked up to await his trial for burg
larry alleged to have been committed by
him last spring at the Gross and Lyons
store on Grand and Third avenues On
the west side.
The complaint under which he was
arrested, declares that Boetcher, with
an accomplice, entered the Gross and
Lyons store and then rummaged
about the building for time; it al
leges further that they stole some
goods, jewelry, clothing, ETC.. and
made their escape. The man who was
alleged to have been Boetcher's compan
ion was arrested last spring and plead
ing guilty was sentenced to two years
Imprisonment in the state prison at
Waupun. An effort was made at that
time to get Boetcher on the same Of
Tense, but be skipped out, the officers
claim, and they have been trying to
get him ever since.
Last summer Sheriff Little was in
formed that Boetcber had been ar.
rested in Indiana, but before he had
started for that state, word came that
the prisoner had escaped, after a fight
with his captorS, in which pistols were
used at close quarters. In telling the
sheriff of it afterwards, Boetcher said
he could hear the bullets hiss by his
ear several times during the running
fight with the Indiana officers.
He was spotted in several cities in
the North Central states under in
StructiOnS of the sheriff's office here,
but in each case got away from the
place where he was located. At last
trace OF him was found in North Da-
kOta, and the sheriff went to that
place and found his man at work in
the harvesting fields. He placed Boet-
cher under arrest and brought him
back, arriving in Grand Rapids Tues
day night. He will be given chance
to plead guilty, and if he pleads not
guilty will have to be bound over for
the spring term of circuit court. The
Shoriff,S office claimc to hovo q cur,
case against him, but of course that
remains to be brought up at the trial.
LATER-Boetcher pleaded guilty
this afternoon before Judge Chas. M.
Webb, and was taken to Waupun this
afternoon to begin his sentence of one
year imposed by the Judge.
