A POOR MARKSMAN.
Frank Shauers of Turtle Lake Shoots
Son Instead of Cat.

Frank Shauers of Turtle Lake Shoots
Son Instead of Cat.
Last Sunday evening Frank Shauers
of Turtle Lake became exasperated at
the family cat, as many a man has
before him, and seizing his gun fired
several shots at the offending animal
without effect. Catching sight of his
trusty rifle hanging on the wall, a
weapon which had never failed him in
an emergency. Mr.. Shauers grabbed
the rifle intending to make short work
of the marauding feline, but in his
hurry he did not handle it with his ac-
customed precision and the bullet, in
tended for the cat, struck his son Ellis,
a boy of fifteen, in the thigh, and
ranging downward lodged near the
heel. DIR. Tanner was called, but fail
ing to find the bullet, the young man
was brought to Cumberland Monday
night and Dr.. Babcock made a radio
graph, disclosing very clearly the loca-
ton of the bullet, which was removed.
The young man is now resting easily
and no serious results are anticipated.
The cat escaped. Cumberland Advo-

NORTHWEST FREEZING
The Reports Are That Cold Weather
and Lack of Fuel Are Causing
Great Distress. :,

Great Distress.
Y Dispatches from the great west are
to the effect that the trains are block
AIDED, fuel is exhausted and that people
are freezing. The president has re-
sponded to the wall of the people with
messages urging the railways to rush
fuel at any costa
The militia is called out to assist in
clearing tracks of snow-in many places
twenty feet deep.
It is an awful story of people huddling
together to keep warm. The mercies
of the gods are due these unfortunate
people.
And you, who have come to Rusk
county, where dearth of fuel is smiled
at, you who have pure water instead
of alkali, you who can be comfortable
at least-do you want some of the
experiences now pictured in the dis
patches from the treeless, trackless,
dismal and doubly damned prairies of
the far west.
Doesn't this awful story weaken your
desire to go west?
Don't you feel that comfort and a
certainty is better than the tales told
to promote immigration to the land of
the setting sun?
How about staying in Goods coun-
try" and sharing in it's great future.

NEW SEWER PLAN
Tom Baker Suggests Method for Bet
ter EeadWaY.

AS we go to press, new plan for
excavating the sewer trenches is pro-
posed Tom Baker suggested cutting
through the frost at intervals and tun-
neling under the frozen ground. This
plan is proposed in view of the cost en-
countered in getting through the frozen
earth.
If the proposed method results in re-
ducing the cost, the work will go on,
otherwise it will probably stop. While
it is desirous to complete the work now
being prosecuted, the amount of pipe
now laid will practically cover the needs
as far as surface drainage is concerned.

LIBERTY CASE DISMISSED.
District Attorney Williams Thought
that Action Proper.

LHaC ACU1On ETOp0T.'
The case of the state VS.. P. A. Liber-
ty came up at Bruce Tuesday and was
dismissed on the motion of Dist Attor-
ney Williams.
1t appears that the evidence in sup
port of this case was practically the
same as that used by the state in a
former case when Mr.. Liberty was ac-
quilted.
Such being the case, Dist. Attorney
Williams acted in the interests not
only Of justice but Of the tax payers of
the county as well. 1t would appear
useless to make costs both to the coun-
ty and the Individual unless there were
good reasons to expect a conviction.
The lost sewer pipe las been found.
Tt appears that it was punched with
other stuff at Minnesota Transfer,
where it has been for weeks.
