Sheriff.

Esloney Tells About the Election of
Sheriff.
Commenting on post-election matters
Editor Maloney of the Star notes that
all the Putnam papers are crawfishing,
that the News stands alone as the sup
porter Of the victor and that it, the
Star couldn't see what was to be gained
by che scrimmage, unless the successful
candidate should trim the fringe off
the charges for taking people to state
institutions. In this the News is some
what disappointed in the view of the
usually correct Star. That paper seem
ed to agree with the News that in the
sheriffs office we had something that
it was desirable to get rid of. In this
instance the Star seemed to be fearful
that in the trade Of nags the other one
might also be afflicted with the string
halt or have q tendency toword the
heaves. And the Star seemed to over
look the fact that when it's horse is
worth less than nothing, there is little
show of being beaten in the trade.

Saturday.

Saturdays West bound train killed
man between Ingram and Glen Flora.
The victim of the incident left Ingram

known. Some of the portion Of the
locomotive extending EoversGthe rails
struck the man with fatal result.
Ingram has in recent years came in
for her full share of this class of fatal
tiles. Several from various causes
have occurred to people carrying too
large load of distilled corn,juice.s
The train backed up and took the
unfortunate man to Glen Flora where

Big FACTORY CERTAIN
The Comercial Club Cinches the
Minneapolis Proposition

The ComerciaI Club Cinches the
Minneapolis Proposition
The big factory to which the News
has referred several times in recent
weeks is sure thing for Ladysmith.
The executive committee Of the
Commercial Club met with representative
of the manufacturing concern Monday
evening and closed up the details which
will be embodied in dhe contract.
This concern will be the largest and
best addition to Ladysmith's industrial
interests that has been secured in
several years. The number of hands
employed will probaly exceed one hun
dred altogether.
The concern secures probably the
best site to be found within the city
limits. It is on the Flambeau riyer,
fianked on the north by the 500 line
tracks and on the west by the Central
company's spur. There will be over
1000 feet of 500 track available and
700 to 300 feet of the Central spur. The
grounds of the new company lie be-
tween these tracks and the river, in
volving two acres of ground.
Here will be located the sawmill of
the company as well as the buildings
for the special machinery. The ma
terial for such goods as trucks, wheel
barrows, carts, etc., will be manufac-
tured and, for the present, sent to
Minneapolis to be put together.
Doubtless later on finished product
may be made in this city.
The News is pleased to note tnat
John w. Miller carried on the nego-
tiations that resulted in this concern
coming to Ladysmith. It is hint to
others. We should have many citizens
on the watch for such institutions.

Carl Elk Prefers the Latter for Many
Good Reasons.
Carl Elk was in the city from his
home near Bruce Monday and paid the
News call. Mr.. Elk comes from S.
Dakota, where he attempted to farm
for many years. He had some partial
crops, but never a good one.
In Wisconsin his experiences have
been the opposite and he likes it much
better. Mr.. Elk is one of those people
who are not afraid to work. He will
take team into the woods this win
ter and if his crops are as good next
year as in the past, will be in good
shape.
Mr.. Exc raised 60 bushels of corn to
the acre this year, and calls that good.
He also had good oat crop. He didn't
have to drink alkali water nor fear
blizzards as on the prairie.

OTHER SIDE OF THE DEAL
How the Bank Went Broke by One
Who rs in a Position to
Know Some Facts.

With our next issue we shall begin
the story of the "defunctication" of
the old First National bank. 1t will,
so we are informed, tell the facts
touching upon matters of material in
fuence upon the condition of the bank.
1t will give the condition of the bank
from time to time, the conduct of the
conduct of the officess, where the mon
ey went to and for what purpose.
The expense account, sometimes
small and at other times voluminous,
will be given.
There have been four distinct ad-
ministrations of the much bemoaned
financial institution those of j. L.
Gates, w. S. Manning, O. E. Peder-
son and G. E. Newman. Of course the
reader will assume that the condition
of the bank at remote times is not very
material-the main point being the
facts causing the decline and failure of
the institution. We are informed that
the condition of the bank when New
man took charge will be fully set forth;
at this time and continuously there
after L. E. McGill acted in the tripli-
Gated capacities of vice president, di-
rector and attorney for the bank, like
wise president of its chief debtor, the
ill-odored electric light company that
paid little of it's immense debt to
the bank. The maneuvers of the light
concern, both before and after, it's sale,
the proceeds of which were pocketed
by Newman and McGill, with nothing
to the company or it's indulgent credi-
tor, the bank, will be fully portrayed.
We have doubt that this narrative
will contain interesting matter and as.
sist the reading public in coming to- q
conclusion as to who is, responsible for
the failure We know that it not add
lustre to the more recent management
Of the defunct bank.

some MORE LIBEL SUITS
L. E. McGill Thinks that His Reputa-
ton Is Injured..by some Remarks
by TIE News.

L. E. McGill Thinks. that His Reputa
ton Is Injured.by some Remarks
by the News.
L. E. McGill, vino came here fresh
from the legislative committee or
county organization as a carpet-bag
appointer as district attorney, and who
has been an office holder or Office seeke,
ever since, complains that his reputa-
ton has been hurt, his feelings injured
and his happiness disintegrated general
ly by some items appearing in the News
and haa sent the owner and editor of
the News, jointly, :severally and in toto
fixing the aforesaid injury at none
tary value of $50, 600.
For all of which the News is neither
surprised nor displeased. In fact it is
quite appropriate that such events
should come in the Thanksgiving season.
One Of thessarticles complained of
was published August 18th with refer
ence to Briggs candidacy. It referred
in one place to the Newman-McGill
political machine and in other to bank
wreckers. The connection was singular
ly remote, but McGiil Identifies himself
(and one Newman, so the people say
as referred to be the term ''bankwreck-
ers."
The second complaint is in para
graph contained in our issue of Sept.
Is, the gist of which appears to be:
The concension evident from the Bud
get is that the Peterson disease was
not fatal to the bank, but that the
Newman McGill cure killed it, and we
guess that is about right.
We may say by way of parenthesis
that while these cases were announced
early in September, they were delayed
until too late for the December term
going over for more than half a year.
The News sees one pleasant phase at
least in these actions and that is that
we are likely-more likely than at any
other time-to find out who the bank
wreckers are. By the time these cases
are over we opine that the public will
know more of the ins and outs of the
game that WI ecked the First National
bank, and in this aspect of the case
the News will say here, merely to its
readers and friends and without boast
ing, that it has no doubt of the result
of these cases. Everything points to
the opinion that they are not intended
ever to be tried, and if they are there
is but one natural ult-failure.
Ia these times the people arrive at
conclusions all their own and are not to
be hoodwinked from the sensible view
Of things. You have heard the story
Of the man who complained of being ac-
eused of the larcency of sheep? His
friend asked why he didn't make them
prove it, to which he responded: 'that
is what am afraid they will d." He
was wise.

SEWER PROGRESS SLOW.

Bad Weather Causes Delay in Work
The crew that is endeavoring to lay
the sewers is wrestling with all kinds
OF trouble, but is making haste though
slowly.
The great depth is a heavy handicap
and the recent storms have caused delay
and extra work that cannot be
avoided and would have been worse at
another season of the year.
Cold weather is not so much to be
feared as delay on the job as bad
weather. With short stretch of good
weather the work can be pushed to a
point where the work will be compar-
atively light and progress will be much
greater.
The boys are doing well.
