A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature which if passed will be
of interest to many of the towns in
this county. 1t provides for the re-
payment to the towns by the state
of moneys paid out by towns in fight
ing forest fires. That is amounts in
excess of the one hundred dollars
for every thirty six sections. Many
of the towns have expended during
the past year. amounts in excess of
the one hundred dollars as provided
by law. This expenditure was abso-
lutely necessary in order to protect
property. The bills provides for an
appropriation of $4,000 to be used
in paying the towns, making proper
proof of this expenditure.

enactment of a law creating the
town of Pilsen out of territory
now included in tie town OF
Eileen. The new town seeks to
take Township Forty seven
range six and seven. This will
leave the original town of Eileen
with one townshipviz. forty seven

the bill will become a law, because
few of the residents in that part

town will oppose the division.

Supreme Court Decisions

Three important decisions of
cases arising in this judicial cir
cult were handed down by the
Supreme court this week. Val
entine Weisenbach VS.. State, it
will be rendered that Weisen-
bach in 1904 aided and assisted
John F. Dietz, the ''hero of cam
eron Dam" in resisting the
sheriff's deputies in Sawyer
county, who were attempting to
enforce the judgment of the
court. He was charged with
Dietz of having assaulted the
sheriff's officers with intent to
murder them, and was duly
tried and convicted by jury and
thereupon Judge Vinje sentenced
him to states prison for twelve
years, The supreme court af-
firms the judgment.
Another case is that of August
Jazdzewski VS. Barker & Stewart
Lumber company. The plaintiff
while working behind an edger
was severely injured by an ed
ging passing through his lungs.
The case was first tried before
Vinje and taken by him from the
jury, he finding no cause Of
action. A new trial was brought
before Judge Parish. who held
the plaintiff had a good cause of
action and the jury brought in
$1,000 damages. The Supreme
court held that the jury should
pass on the case but reversed the
case on some technical point in
the instructions to jury. 1t was
again tried before Judge Burnell
of Oshkosh. This jury brought
in verdict of $500 which judg-
ment is now affirmed.
Stephen Bromley and Belle Miller
VS. State was decided bv the Su-
preme Court. They hold that Brom-
lev must remain in States Paison,
the rest of his life, but that Mrs.
Miller should have a pew trial.
The evidence against Mrs Miller
was weak, and the Supreme Court
reverses the jud gment of the trial as
to her. It will be rememb bered
that they were accused of numbering
a lumberman by the name of Thomas
Nee oWan. in the town of Roosevelt,
Tayl0r county. in the spring of 1906.
The jury asked in this case if they
could find the defendant Miller
guilty Of lesser offence and it was
agreed among the attorneys that
they must find them guilty of the
same off anse or else acquit them
both, and the Judge instructed them
accordingly.

Was EASY Meat. F"

The Washburn High School
Basket ball team went to Iron
River last Saturday evening
where they played a game with
the team of that place, and the
result of the game was some
thing awful. If the locals had
kept on playing ball all through
the game it is doubtful if two
figures could have given the
score for they had no trodble in
making baskets whenever they
wanted to. AS it was they stop
ped when they had run the score
up to 81 with a score Of II to the
credit of the Iron River boys.
The Iron Riverites did not have
a look-in. being outc!assed in
every way. It is not likely that
they will be looking for another
game unless they can strengthen
their team considerable.
