Go Ashore Sunday morning
We're Bound for Lake Erie
Ports Loaded With
Iron Ore.

The large steel steamer Ores
ent City and Whaleback No. 1873
which was in tow went on sand
bar just out from Houghton Falls
Sunday morning within about
seven hundred feet of shore.
The boats were bound for down
the lakes loaded with iron ore
and had apparently got too close
to shore. Three tugs worked
all day Sunday in an effort to re.
lease the boats but were unsuc-
cessful. Sunday evening large
steel boat that had just arrived
at Ashland was dispatched to the
stranded vessels and with the
tugs worked all night and it was
not until eight o'clock in the
morning when both boats
were released. Apparently no
damage was done to the boats
and they proceeded down the
lakes.
The Crescent City is the boat
that was stranded in one of the
storms last season just out from
Superior and this was her third
trip down the lakes after being
repaired.

that the county board of canvass

A Crook was Here This Week
With that Intention.
Appearance of a Crew of Bell
Telephone Men Here
Stops His Game.

A "crook" representing him
self to be al expert linesman.
was in the city a couple of days
this week with the intention of
dong up few of our business
men, but the appearance of a.
crew here at work on the Bell
telephone system hindered his
operations. The game the fell
low works is to go into town
where he represents himself to
be a telephone linesman for the
Bell company of Milwaukee,
there with a crew of men for the
purpose of overhauling the sys-
tenn. He very seldom uses the
name OF an independent COM
pany on account of the number
OF local stockholders that he is
liable to run across. He makes
arrangements at the hotels for
board for his crew and goes to
the saloons and makes an all
around good-fellow of himself
and gets on the good side of
most of the saloon men. He
also makes arrangements to pay
his men off at the saloon saying
that it would be handy for him
and would also mean business
to the saloon. Then comes his
story about running out of ex-
pense money and that he needs
just $50 much g. pay the
freight on his tools at the depot.
(Of course he expects a check by
the next mail.) This is the tale
he tells each of them and gets
what cash he can and then
disappears never to behear6 from
again.
When he hit this town he run
up against a crew of Bell tele-
phone men engaged in overhaul
ing the system so that he could
not work his graft with that
company. While here he put up
at the Graham house charging
his bill to Manager Wright of the
local company. He hired a rig
at the Jensen livery and engaged
a boy for driver and went from
here to Sioux River. He had
the boy return with the rig tell
ing him Wright would pay him
for his services.
Joe Hall at Sioux River says he
got his meals at his place ON a
like story and then left going
towards Bayfield,. The fellow is
supposed to be the same man
that has been working other
towns in northern Wisconsin the
past month or so. He has
secured considerable money in
some of the places.

Bar Was Not Used and Business
Was Done Openly Like Any
Ice Cream Saloon.
A PUZZLE FOR THE POLICE.
City Attorney Says He Has as Much
Right to Do That Business as Any
Soda FOuntain--AI| Is Illegal.


Yesterday from 10 o'clock in the
morning until 6 o'clock at night,
Hans Lehman had his saloon at 349
State street open to the public.
Patrolman William II. McDermott
went inside and asked Mr.. Lehman
what he was doing. "Why, I'm only
selling soft drinks and sandwiches, :"
said he. do you want me to close?"
The policeman made an examination
of the interior of the place and saw
that the bar was not used, and that
only soft drinks were being served,
so he did not know whether to order
him to close or not.
When seen by a NEWS reporter
this morning, Mr. Lehman said: Il
think / have just as much right to
sell soda as any of the drug stores or
ice cream parlors. The temperature
yesterday was beyond endurance and
| gave away nearly as much ice wat
er as | sold"
The city attorney this morning
gave his opinion that while it was IL
legal for anything to be sold Sun
day, Lehman had as much right to
