Just now, when all Nature smiles
and our title city is in its most at
tractiYe dress, the river scenery mag
nificent, this time we consider would
be most propitious time for Mr.
Manning, the Scenic Artist to visit
us and get inspiration for his city
plan. Nature has already done so
much for this locality, that we are
sure, could Mr.. Manning be here at
this time, he would be enraptured
with the beauty shown on all sides.
We hape that the property owners on
the East bank of the Wisconsin riY-

soon take steps to improve and beau
tify the only unsightly place along
our beautiful river.

CAME WARDEN
COLE SHOT At
Two Boys Arrested at Bir0n for
Using Dip Nets While Catch
ina Fish.

Will Cole, deputy game warden
from Vesper, in company with DR.
Whitehorn of Vesper, drove to Biron
Saturday night on the West side of
the river and arrived there about s
o'clock in the evening. Mr.. Cole saw
a couple of young men using a dip
net just below the dam and he went
out where they were, took the dip
net in the name of the State of Wis
consin and arrested the two boys,
and while he had hold of one of the
young men the other got away. The
young man was identified by Dr.
| Whitehorn and then allowed to
go home. Before the Game Warden
had time to gather the net and get
it into the buggy, two men Messrs.
/ Will Hamm and Martin Hilger ap-
peared upon the scene. Will Hamm
made a demand for the net and said
| it belonged to him and Mr.. Cole told
| him it was now the property of the
state. Mr.. Cole had his revolver in
|
grab for the net, Mr.. Cole struck
Mr.. Hamm in the face with his fist
in which he held the revolver and in
striking him the revolver was dis
charged, after which two or three
other shots were fired by the oppos-
ing party. No one was shot, how
ever, and Mr.. Cole got into the bug
gy with Mr. Whitehorn with the net
and drove off.
Monday morning the Game Warden
came to the county seat and conferr-
ed with the District Attorney, who
will issue warrants for the two boys
who were caught fishing Illegally
with the net and for the two men
who interferred with the arrest for
resisting an officer. These facts
were obtained from the District At
| torney's office.

BAND STAND.

It is very easy to find fault. It. is
hard to please in the discharge of
public duty. There is a demand to
move the present band stand from
the city lot West of the Julien Hotel
to the City Park on the West bank
of the Wisconsin river near the wag-
on bridge What is the objection?
Business men and residents near the
Julien Hotel want it to remain where
it is for it draws the people to that
part of the city on band nights in
large crowds The people object
to the location on account of it's prox
unity to the railroad track and no
convenience to sit down there with
their children to enjoy the music in
comfort If the band stand was in
the park near the river and bridge
the green grass sod could be used
to rest on while hearing the music
Setees could be supplied and row
and other boats could bebrought in
to use. Personally we have no choice.
Persons residing on the West side
should decide this. There appears
to bea II unusual desire to center many
