Wednesday afternoon official an
nouncement was given to the effect that
James Mcmahon. who for the past FIVE
or six years has held the honorable
position as postmaster in Baraga, had
on that date filed his resignation with
the postoffice department.
Little further on the subject than
the reason for this action, was due to
confliction Of this Office and the duties
of Probate Judge, Of which Mr..
Mcmahon is the holder, is responsible
for his taking this step.
So far as we can learn young lady
Of Baraga is being considered as the
successor. but nothing authentic on
this is as yet given out.

seem to think that it may have been
the work of tramps.
The buildings burned were owned
by the Schlitz Brewing company
and by Charles Flynn. Ed. Borgan
lost considerable in saloon fixtures
which were stored in one of the
places.
The loss in property will amount
to about $4,000 and as we so
to press are unable to learn If there
was any insurance on the places,
Sparks from the fires were carried
over a large portion of the city and
small blazes were started in num-
her of places but everybody was on
the watch and they were put out be-
fore much damage was done. The
wires of the lighting company were
burned off near the scene of the fire
and the entire city was in darkness
for the balance of the night. The
firemen worked all night and this
morning had the fire completely out.
They are all to be congratulated for
the way that they worked when
the fire was burning at it's worst
and it is doubtful if the tiremen in
larger places could have handled it
any better

MURDER WILL OUT
Claimed That Confession has Been
Made In Sioux River Case.
Said That Two Former Bay
field Boys Have Admitted
the Crime.

There was a report current
about this city and Bayfield, this
week to the effect that the MUIR
derers of William Ernest at Sioux
River a few years ago, had made
a confession in which they had
admitted the crime. It is said
that two prominent Bayfield,
boys who were arrested a short
time ago out west for holding up
a stage coach and killing a man
and who had been sentenced to
terms in the penitentiary, had
made confession in which they
had said that they had done the
job at Sioux River.
It was in the month of August,
1908, that two masked men en-
tered the boarding house of Joe
! Hall at Sioux River, gagged and
bound all the boarders, and then
proceeded to rob them. William
Ernest one of the men who re-
sisted being bound was shot
throught the head and instantly
killed. George Lafay was ar
rested, charged with the crime
and after a lengthy trial was
finally acquitted. If the report
is true that the Bayfield, boys
"done the job" it comes as quite
a surprise to the people who are
somewhat familiar with the case.
The Pinkertcn detective who
worked on the case for three
months in his report to the coun
ty board intimated that two
other men were connected with
the crime, and not the Bayfield,
boys.

FOREST FIRES ARE RAGING
Big Damage Has Already been Done in
Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Forest fires have been r ag.
ing throughout northern Wis
consin and Minnesota during
the past week and the dam
age that has already been
done will run into millions of
dollars. The extremely dry
weather during the past three
weeks has made the woods
as dry as tinder and when
once a fire gets started there
is nothing that can check it's
progress.
Probably the most damage
that has been done is in
Northern Minnesota where
the towns of Chisholm and
SNOWFALL were completely
wiped out and many other
towns which are now sur
rounded by fire are in dan
ger of meeting the same fate.
Chisholm was a town of 4, 600
people and Saowball a place
of 200, but in neither place is
any loss of life reported.
The fires in Bayfield, coun-
ty have been extremely bad
but as yet no great damage
to property has resulted.
Much standing timber has
been in the path of the flames
especially in the northern
part of the county, and this
has been damaged to some
extent. The fires near this
city have been bad at times
and have caused some of the
farmers a great deal of
anxiety. On several occas-
ions large forces of men from
here have been out fighting
fires which at times surround
ed farm buildings. At the d,
J. EstabroOk farm the flames
swept within ten feet of the
large barn but the building
was saved after an all night
battle. The fires are still
burning in that vicinity and
the raising of the wind at any
time might wipe the farmers
out completely.
At Bayfield, last Saturday
the fires caught in the mill
yard of the Wachsmuth Lum-
Der company and for a time
it looked as if the entire town
was doomed for the flames

City Council and Lighting Company Come

An adjourned meeting of
the common council was held
on Tuesday evening at which
time the matter of turning
back the electrical equipment
which was purchased from

pany came up. After con-

subject the following resolu-
tion was adopted, the vote
being as follows: Aye-Bell,
Corning, Olson, Estabrook,
Oscar, Finley, No-Nelson,

A BAD CONFEDERATION
Nelson House Corner Swept by Flames
During the Night.

At about half past eleven o'clock
last night fire broke out in the old
Nelson House and for a time the
situation was a serious one and
many thought that the entire west
end of town was doomed so rapidly
did the flames spread. The Nelson
house was fine fuel for the fire and
before the alarm was turned in the
fire had gained such headway that
it was impossible to check the flames
until they had totally destroyed the
hotel building and barber shop and
saloon, the Bumblebee and Palace
saloons and the ice house in the
rear. For time it was one of the
worst fires that the city has seen in
a numb'r of years and had it not
been for the efficient work on the
part OF the fire companies and many
volunteers many more places would
have undoubtedly been destroyed.
The Sunquist building, Meisner
building aud the Ole Lake Store
were afire number of times but the
fremen succeeded in keeping them
wet and thereby prevent the fire
from spreading to the opposite side
of the street, in which case the des-
truction would have been terrible.
When the fire was first dis
covered it was burning near the
hotel kitchen and there seems to be
somewhat of a doubt as to just how
it could have been started. Some

Labor Day Celebration Here Came
up to Expectations.
All Events Pulled off in Fine
Shape and Everybody
Satisfied.

The officers and different com
mittees of the labor day celebra-
tion which was held in this city
on M onday are to be congratu-
lated upon the way that they
handled the affairs and every
thing came off without hitch.
The day was an ideal one and
early in the morning the visitors
began pouring into the city from
the rural districts and from the
towns around, At nine o'clock
the sports came off and consist
ed of bicycle races, foot races,
wheelbarrow race, potato race
and sack race. They were very
interesting and took up about
two hours time. After the races
the citizens gathered at the post
Office corner where the address
Of Secretary of State James A.
Frear was listened to. Mr..
Frear was here as speaker to
represent the republican party
but his address was more about
the affairs of interest in this
state than it was about politics.
Fl. B. Wamsley of Ashland who
was here to represent the social
democrat party was the next to
occupy the platform and he made
quite a plea why the voters
should support his party candi-
dates this fall. The address of
Hon. w. Fl. Thompson of Ne
braska, for tie Democrat Party
was to have followed next but as
that gentleman did not arrive
the date was filed at eight
o'clock in the evening by Wells
M. Ruggles of Mellen.
In the afternoon the ball game
between Bayfield, and Washburn
and Bayfield, was pulled off and
resulted in victory for the locals
by a score of ten to four. Lien
and Lee wer the battery for the
locals and were almost invincible.
They did not allow the visitors
to get in score until after the
sixth inning. They were given
the best kind of support by the
rest of the team.
After the ball game the balloon
ascension and parachute drop
was to have taken place but just
as the balloon was being filled
with gas it was cut in some man.
ner with a guy line and fell over
the fire and was almost burned
up so that an ascension was i'm
possible.
In the evening a grand ball
was given at the Opera House.
