MAN SUICIDES
IN CITY BASTILE
Big Drunk by Hanging Himself
i'm Steel Cage

Officer McNally was Mortified Tues
day, when going to the city Jail imme-
diately after dinner to look after a
''drunk" whom he had confined during
the forenoon, to find his man cold in
death suspended by the neck from one
of the chains which support the upper
bunk in the steel cage. He immedi-
ately summoned physician, but the
man had been dead for an hour or
more. The man had been hauled to
the lookup on dray during the fore
noon "dead drunk" When the officer
visited the jail about IL o'clock to let
out another man who had been locked
up, the suicide was sleeping heavily.
There could have been no accident
about the hanging, as it must have been
difficult task for the man to have in
serted his head through the small loop
in the chain, and even then he could
have saved himself from choking by
resting his knees on the lower bunk or
holding onto the bars of the cage with
his hands.
District Attorney Williams, who hap
pened to be in the city attending the
tax sale, directed Justice Reeves to
take charge of the case, and after view
ing the remains he decided that no cor
oner's inquest was necessary.
John N. Thorp was the mans name
as was Indicated by papers found in his
wallet, which Officer McNally had TAX
en- charge of the day before. The wal
let contained $50 in cash, and a note
which had been paid at the First Ma
tional Bank at Rice Lake last Thursday.
The police at Rice Lake were commun-
icated with and through them it was
learned that brother Of the suicide
lived at Eau Claire and sister at Dull
nth. A brother-in-law from Duluth
and the brother from Stanley arrived
last night aad the body was taken to
Eau Claire today for burial.
Thorp was well built man about 40
years of age, and had been working in
the woods in this vicinity during the
winter. He had been here but a few
daVs.

Woodmen will Picnic at Hawkins

Delegates from Hawkins, Ingram
and Ladysmith Camps M. W. A. met at
the Odd Fellows hall in this city Wednes-
day afternoon, to locate the annual
county picnic. 1t was unanimously
voted to hold it at Hawkins, the time
to be set by the Hawkins Camp prob
ably some time in August. T. c.
Thompson, A. j. Erickson and A. O.
st. Clair, all of Hawkins, were elected
president, secretary and treasurer re-
spectively. C. K. Ellingson of Haw-
kins presided at the meeting and Fred
ArroWsmith of Ingram was secretary.
1t was decided to permit teams Of
eight men to compete for the prize ban
ner in the drill contests, being handi-
capped seven points.

Track Team will Attend Tournam c Mt

AT a special meeting Of the Lady
smith Fire Department Monday
evening it was decided to send the
track team to the state tiremen's
tournament at Lake Mills mex t
month, and again make the effort
to secure the location of the tourna-
ment at Ladysmith in 1909 b. e.
French was chosen captain of the
team, and they will begin practice
at once. Aessrs r. j. Sands and
f. f. MunrOe were elected as dele
gates to the state convention, which
meets the day previous and locates
the tournament.
In this movement Ladysmith will
have the support OF many northern
cities who are members of the state
association. For the past t h re
years the tournament has been To-
Gated in cities in the southern part
of the state, and as about One-third
of the companies which send teams
to the tournament are located in the
northern part OF the state, our boys
are asking nothing more than what
is fair when they demand that the
state meet shall be located in some
northern city at least every third
year.
The matter OF withdrawing from
the state association and organizing
a North Wisconsin association has
been favOrably considered by many
neighboring companies, and if COM
promise is not effected at the con-
vention next month, this will prob
ably be the outcome. T h e state
makes an appropriation for assist
ing in defraying the expenses Of these
tournaments, and it is manifestly un-
just for one locality to receive all the
benefit therefrOm.

BOARD VISITS
THE POOR FARM
New Proposition offered 10 Purchase
Poor Farm. Eoard Votes 20 Visit
Glen Flora i'm a Eody

The county board met in special ses-
sion today at p. m. All members
were present except Supervisor Paul
son of Hawkins.
The $4,000 which was levied last year
for building bridge across the Flam-
beau above Ladysmith, remained un-
used, was transferred to the general
fund. A proposition was submitted in
the form of resolution that this $4,000
be used as first payment for the poor
farm, and a further levy of $1,000 be
made for this purpose, making a total
OF $4,000, Mr.. True to surrender for
cancellation the $4,000 bonds which
had been issued in payment of the for
mer purchase, which by this resolution
was evidently presumed illegal.
On motion of Supervisor V. V. Miller,
it was voted that those of the board
who desired go to Glen Flora today and
inspect the proposed poor farm. An
adjournment was accordingly taken to
O'Clock tomorrow (Friday).

an invitation from the mayor OF Rlce
Lake to participate with them in
their big Fourth of July celebration,
with our band and fire department.
After consulting with a number OF
business men Mayor Cardinal deemed
it impracticable for us to accept the
invitation, as there will probably be
something doing in Ladysmith on
the Fourth.

date for congress from this district,

getting acquainted with some OF the
voters in Mr.. Jenkins territory. Mr.
Lenroot is admitted to be the ablesG
man who has been put up against
Mr.. Jenkins during the past twelve
years that the latter has represented

coming campaign promises to be a
lively one.

Fined For Fast Driving

Clarence Wolff and Louis Goneau
hired a team of Liverynan johnson
Saturday evening and amused them
selves by racing them through the
streets. They we're arrested Monday,
plead guilty and paid fines Of $40 and
costs each. They confessed to being
drunk, and as they are minors their
evidence will probably be used in the
prosecution of the saloon keeper who
sold them the booze.
