himself up to the police. Mr.. Haag
and the members of his family have
been antagonistic and this. with finan-

cause of the shooting.
On Monday Haag went to town and
returning home late in the evening he
is said to have entered the kitchen
and seated himself at the table. He
drove his wife out and she called their
son Albert. Haag is said to have
started toward young Haag with a

house, the father following, when the
son is said to have shot again, killing
the elder man.
Ten empty cartridge shells were
found near the scene of the tragedy,

County Auditor Must Know His Business.
For aught we know to the contrary
Mr.. Albert Anderson of Milaca may
be the most competent person in the
county to fill the position of COUNT Y
auditor, but we believe the voters will
be loath to turn down man whom
they know to be thoroughly competent
just because somebody else wants the
place. The auditors Office is by all
odds the most important, and the one
that most vitality concerns the tax-pay-
ers, Of all the county Offices. The
duties of that Office are manifold and
exacting. The auditor is the book
keeper of the county and it's chief tax
ing officer. He must not only be quick
and accurate in figures but he must
have thorough knowledge of the tax
laws, ditch laws, school laws and in
fact all laws pertaining to the govern
ment of counties. There is not one
man in Eve hundred qualified to prop
erly perform the duties of county
auditor: Perhaps Mr.. Anderson is
one of the five hundred.
