Young Mike Huppert of Trimbelle
made a ten strike recently when he
succeeded in killing genuine black
fox. The dogs chased the fox into
a corner Of Mr.. Huppert's yard and
he dispatched the creature with an
ak. The hide was shipped 10 ST.
Paul and buyers there were not pre-
pared to handle it and advised him
to seek market in st. Louis which
he did and received a check for $422,
which is probably less than it is
worth. 1t is said that there are
more of these valuable animals in
the county and it is probable that

The entertainment given at the
Highland Park Presbyterian chu rch
on Friday night was a success in
every sense of the word. The Sc
lections given by Lille Farnsworth
Hubbell, the we'll known dramatic
reader, were especially enjoyed. She
was called back several times by
the enthusiasm of her hearers. The
Minneapolis Chronicle.
Monday evening witnessed big
time at the hall of the United Order
of Foresters, when class of twenty
one new members was initiated.
The Court was honored by the pres
ence of Supreme Chief Ranger, r.
w. Sherrard of Chicago and Supreme
Secretary, G. w, Bland of Milwau-
kee, also State Organizer A. A. Reid
of Kenosha. Over one hundred
members of the order were present.
After Court closed, the ladies of
Court Kinnickinnic invited all into
the dining hall where a sumptiuous
spread was served. Speeches by
the Supreme Officers and members
of the local lodge were given
and an excellent time is reported by
all who were present. Court Kinnlc-
kinnic is one of the largest lodges
in Wisconsin, and in the past two
years has acquired an increase of
nearly hundred in membership.
Items involving general interest,
are SO quickly reported by rumor
that it will not probably be news to
many that Mayor Bailey resigned
his office on the 18th inst. and that
the Council accepted such resigna-
ton. Mr.. Bailey gave as his reason
for such action, that his business
affairs would require his absence
from the city for most of the summer
and possibly a good part of the COM
ing winter and that he felt it to be
only just to the people that he should
give place to some one more likely
to be on hand when wanted. The
Council received the resignation
with many expressio of regret,
feeling assured that his experience
and we'll known courtesy and inter
est in the welfare of the city would
be of great advantage to both the
municipality at large and to the
coun Gil itself In this feeling the
citizens generally concurred and
part with regret from the mayor.
Mr.. Bailey has given in the year of
his service an excellent business ad-
ministration and all his work has
been painstaking and effective.
