News was receivedin in this city Tues
day of sad accident which occurred
on Bear Creek. The seventeen year
old daughter of Fred Ochsner, of
Kimball, South Dakota, who has
been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Henry
Brace, of Bear Greek, for some time
past, in company with her aunt and
one or two girl friends went bath
ing in that stream Monday after
noon. Bear Greek is not very wide
at that place and was not consider
ed dangerous, but Miss Ochsner ac-
cidentally waded into a deep hole
and was unable to save herself. Her
aunt, Mrs. Brace, narrowly escaped
death herself in attempting to res
cue her niece. It was some time
before help could be procured and
the girl brought to shore. Every
effort was made to resuscitate her
but were unavailing. The remains

end in view. Included in the con-
tents of the safety deposite vault
were watch and a gold ring that
have been identified positively as
having belonged to the dead

The Decision in the League
Contest.

The decision of the judges in the
League Contest of last Saturday
evening is study. The final stand
ings, as determined by the rules of
addition, subtraction, elimination
and surmise may be correct, in ac-
cordance with merit, desert; we do
not denur to these conclusions, but
the discrepancy, the divergence in
the markings of the different judges
occasions questionings and criti-
cism. People, in comparing the
markings in this table, will enquire
how it happens that judges can
apart? Upon what grounds, by
what rule, or in accordance with
what standard or standards could
one judge properly give one of the
IL speakers the highest place and
another give him 10th, next to the
lowest? One contestant was given
18th, or lowest place, by three judg-
es, 9th by one Sd, by one. Even in
the case of the local contestants,
who were rightly given 1st and I'd
place respectively, the variance in
marking is great. The boy given
first place was marked l, l, 2, 2, 9,
4; the one given second place, |, /,
2, 2, 6, 8.
How are these discrepancies to be
explained away? We must not as
sumo that any of these men were
preiudiced or influenced in the
least degree by favoritism or that
they are not good judges. The
confusion arises largely from lack
of time for deliberation. It may
readily be seen that to compare so
many speakers, each with every
other and with all, in ten or dozen
particulars, is complicated job, a
task that requires time for consid-
Grafton and opportunity for read
iustments of ones outline or sketch
markings. He has but few min
utes to do work, which to do sat-
isfactorily, demands hours of con-
centrated and clearheaded thought.
And while perhaps in many cases
the final standings might not be
affected by this added time for an
adjustment of ideas there would
not appear such radical difference
of views.

The League Contest.

The M. E. church was filed to
overlooking last Friday evening to
the boys contest. Eleven boys, rep
resenting six high schools in Pierce
and ST. Croix counties contested
for honors, and River Falls captur-
ed all there was to il, both first and
second places. 1t was a clean
sweep too, sufficient distance be-
tween the speakers from River Falls
and the nearest competitor 10 con-
stitute almost a "distanced" vic
tory. For third place there was a
pretty contest, Glenwood winning
it by a narrow margin over Ellis
worth, Spring Valley and Hammond
in the order named, Hudson coming
along for seventh place. 1t was a
well-earned victory, and the local
school was appropriately proud Of
it.
It was a good contest. The
speakers had won their right to ap-
pear by defeating all corners in the
local contests, and they were pre-
sumably the best their respective
schools could furnish, and their
work showed it. From first to last
they were good. John Stevens of
-Glenwood gave the speech of the
Unknown Speaker" in favor of the
Declaration of independence with a
good deal of the fire called for by
the selection. His voice and enun-
citation were excellent. Jay Halls of
Ellsworth, Noel Monroe of Ham
mond, Theodore Waller of Spring
Valley, all showed careful training,
good appreciation of their selec-
tions and much excellence as
speakers.
Space forbids extending personal
mention of the other speakers.
They were all good, but not good
enough to win. Earl Whitcomb
and Neil Reed of the local high
clearly out-classed the others and
took 1st and End places respective
ly. At first thought the audience
was startled when the judges revers-
ed the decision of the judges in the
local contest, but no one questioned
the Justice of the decision. The
fact is that both boys were excep-
tionally good, and it was good
contest between them for first place.
Both will speak again Saturday
night at the district contest. Fol-
lowing is the decision of the judges:
