Raise Funds for Reward.

A mass meeting was held in the
Fire Hall Monday evening to raise
funds to stimulate search for the
body of Professor A. H. Fletcher,
drowned in the Chippewa River at
Holcompe June %.
F. H. Lord called the meeting to
order and stated it's object. w. H.
Houston, who was known to have
given the matter consideration, was
called upon for remarks. He said
that in order to stimulate effort a
considerable reward should be Of
fered and he thought that it would
not be difficult to raise $500 for the
purpose. With this backing the
press of the Chippewa valley could
be notified and the search encour-
aged. DR.. Ashley expressed the
opinion that not only should a re-
ward be offered but there should be
money available to employ men to
make the search on daily wages.
Several others, among them Rev.
Clough, w. E. Tubbs, ]. w. Allard
and F. D. Ensign, expressed views
on the subject. President Brier was
chosen Secretary, and committee
of fve-W. F. Houston, DR.. Ashley,
]. w. Allard, Prof. Ames and Chris
Wiger, were named as committee
to solicit subscriptions. 1t was the
sentiment of the meeting that $500
should be raised. The subscription
list was opened at once and more
than 5000 was subscribed by those
present.

The old Settlers Meeting.

Last Thursday, the 21st inst,
was decidedly a typical Old Settlers
Day, that is it was day of almost
continuous downfall of rain and un-
fortunately it has rained almost
every time the association held its
annual gathering.
Notwithstanding the unpropitious
| weather however a goodly number
of the old timers were present and
greatly enjoyed the pleasure of
meeting those with whom they were
associated in the good old times
before the war. About one hum
dred were present and nearly all of
them were men when the war broke
out, there being many less than
| usual of those who claim member
] ship by reason of having been born
( here or having been immigrants IN
youth. The reason for this how
ever is not difficult to understand.
There was little in so unpleasant a
day to attract attendance except the
hope of meeting old friends and re-
newing recollections of the past,
and this would attract only those
who were old enough when ST.
Croix Valley was new. But though
the number was comparatively
small the interest felt was certainly
undated.
The meeting was called to order
at the Hagen Opera Hall at about
eleven O'Clock by Col. S. N. Haw-
kins, now the worthy mayor of the
city.
After a selection by the Cadet
Band his honor gave the welcoming
address, full of thought and cor
diality.
Following the address of welcome,
the following program was render

next convention was left for the ex-
ecutive officers to determine. 1t is
expected that either Hammond or
Baldwin will secure the 1907 meet
ing. Many new members were en-
rolled in the association at this
meeting, among them many resi-
dents of New Richmond and vicini-
ty, raising the membership to near
ly seven hundred.

Stanislaus College, at Bay st. Louis, on
the gulf coast, says a dispatch from New
Orleans was captured by a man-eating
shark while swimming about half a mile
from shore. The boy was never seen again.
Since that time Gilbert Marshall a West

his vacation. and his brother Carl have
been making determined fight on the
larger sharks, and have landed four which
had been interfering with the bathers for
some time. The largest specimen was
caught Monday after fight of three hours.
After dragging it to shore the two young
men, as a matter OF curiosity, cut it open,
and found in its stomach a part of the
head and arms of the student that had dis
appeared. The people along the entire coast
have declared war on sharks, and are using
every effort to exterminate them.
