ss:ss8ssssss:sss:seees&

Clearwater lake is now pro-
ducing some good sized muskies,
the largest one caught last Sun
day weighing 40 pounds and
was landed by A. E. Hinkelman,
a Clearwater resident, who
brought it here Monday for
shipment. The old timers who
saw the fish got busy relating
what used to be-" One fellow
said that he thought nothing Of
catching HALVES, dozen
muskies in a day that would go
from rs pounds up. Another
fellow offset that one by a tale
in which a canoe, two muskles
and two fishermen were mixed
up about % years age on Buck
atoban lake. 1t, the tale, goes
about like this: Al Bradford
and Bill Murphy went to Buck
atoban after muskies in a canoe
which was very shallow and ex-
ceediugly short Both were fish
ing when Bill got a strike He
tired out his fish and bringing it
up to the canoe hauled it in. 1t
began Topping and Bill says to
Al, "What'll do; he'll flop out"
Al saws, Lay on him, Bill, lay
on him" Bill laid. Just then
Al got strike from the compan
ion fish, hauled it up to thecanoe
and drew it in and as the fish
commenced to pound, Al yelled
to Bill, who was holding down
his fish, "What'll | do BILE" Bill
says in return, while AIS fish
was soaking him on the head:

DROWNING IN BIG TWIN
Ed Weissenborn Loses Three
Children at Hackley by the
Sinking of an Overloaded
Row Boat.

Two girls 10 and II and bow
- years of age, children of Mr..
and Mrs. Ell Weissenborn Of
Hackley, were drowned last
night iii Big Twin lake on their
way home from Hackley. Up to
time of going to press the bodies
have not been recovered.
Phil Ryan, foreman of Camp
One gives the details as follows:
The three children rowed over
to Hacklev from their home on
the north side of the lake, a dis
tance of one mile after FIVE sacks
of pulp plaster, which weighed
500 pounds. They started home
after nine o'clock. A stiff breeze
was blowing and a pallof smoke
hung over the lake, which OBJ
scured the guiding light at home.
What caused the accident can
never be learned, but the suppo-
Slt1on IS that the children became
lost and in trying to get their
bearings the heavily ladened boat
shipped water and sank.
Their cries for help were heard
III Hackley and by Bains,
who lives near Wiessenborn's
but there was no boat near to
succor them.
Mr. Weissenborn and eldest
son went through Eagle River
yesterday afternoon on their way
to Fosterville. A message was
sent this morning calling them
home.
The Weisenborn family moved
from Hackley to their present
home last spring Mr. Weissen-
born IS contractor and widely
known insthis section.
1t is indeed a sad affair.

of the following: Going fishing

opening of term at Wansau about the
advisability of a change of the dates
of holding terms in this circuit, but
nothing definite in the way of agree
ment was done.
OF course no one but the Legislature
has power to change dates and moth
ing can be done until the next session.
Ii the members Of the bar of the var
ious counties should come to some
common understanding about a
change | presume the legislature may
be asked to make the change.
seems likely that TIE convenience Of
the different counties can be bettered
by a change, as both Oneida and Villas
attorneys have suggested it.
Yours truly
