THE INDIAN CASES
w ashburn Saloon Men Let
Off By U. S. Court
Cases Have Been With
Drawn With No Action
Being Taken

The cases against nine of the
Washburn saloon keepers who
we're arrested last summer
charged with selling liquor to
the Indians, have been with
drawn from court by the United
States District Attorney with
out any action being taken.
Some time ago one Of the
cases was brought for trial, be-
ing the case against Louis War
ner, and after the hearing of
the testimony the case was pre-
sented to the jury and resulted
in an acquital of the defend
ant. At that time District
Attorney E. G. Alvord of
this city who represents
the Washburn saloon men. pro-
posed that test case be made
and that the decisions of the
other cases be based upon
this decision. This the q. S
attorney refused to do. and the
cases were postponed until the
present term of the U. S. court
which has been in session at
Superior, Judge Lands of Chi
cago presiding. The cases how
ever stand againt the saloon men
and can be tried at any time
the U. S. attorney should desire
but it is notlikely that they will
ever be tried.

Shows A Bio Sale

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 2.
With I7O towns and cities of
the state ito be heard from, re-
ceipts from the sale ofRed Cross
Christmas seals in Wisconsin
today exceed the total sale in
1909. Saturday night 23,865, 80
had been received by the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
citation.
Milwaukee receipts are little
more than half in, while several
large cities are included in the
40 still to be heard from.
No announcements of the prize
awards has been made by the
associations, although the re-
turns, according to the rules,
had to be in by O'clock on Jan.
ia. Due to misunderstanding
on the part of several local cam
paign managers. some cities did
not get their returns in on time.
veraltechnical questions arose
in regard to this and othe r
points, and a com mittee was ap-
pointed to settle all disputes and
and award the prizes.
1t is expected that a final re-
port will be made by this com mmit-
tee in a day or two, and that the
winners will be announced by
the middle of this week.
In practically every way re-
cords of previous years have
been broken according to the in
com plete returns. The state
reward will be greatly exceeded
while several cities have set new
marks in per capita sales.
Large sales were made in the
big cities of the state, but several
smaller cities made phenomenal
sales.
Plans to continue the anti
tuberculosis fight along lines
more extensive then ever are
under way as result of the
large incomes from Red Cross
seals. Organization work will
be perfected throughout the
state and the educational move
ment extended to every city,
town and village.
Tie association feels that the
enormous seal sale is a unani-
nous expression of the public S
approval of the white plague
/ fight, and that the success of
this years. 3 work will far exceed
that of the past.

Commencement Exercises

The commencement excerci-
ses of the Mid Winter class of
the Washburn High School were
held at the Opera House last Fri
day evening, and were attended
by an audience that taxed the
seating capacity OF the hall.
The program as rendered was
very entertaining and was
thoroughly enjoyed by those
present. The principle address
of the evening was delivered by
Prof. M V. .O'Shea of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and was
one of the best that has been
heard in the city for some time.
Prof. O'Shea held the attention
of the large audience from be,
ginning to end and many
regretted when bis remarks
were brought to a close. Mr..
O'Shea is a deep thinker and his
lecture was very entertaining
and worthy of much praise.
The salutatory as delivered by
Vivian Paulson, while short, was
delivered in a mastery manner
and was pleasing to the audience.
The va,edictorian Miss Edna
Ungrodt was also very good, as
was the response from under
classmen by Miss Isabella John.

refused to furnish the necessary
bond and it was up to the county
board to name a successor and
this was done.
There we're a number OF the
memb bers of the county board
who were inclined to ex-
tend the time of furnishing
the bond and in the nominations
for the office Mr.. Lien was again
nominated and on the informal
ballot received eight Out OF
eighteen votes. The informal
ballot was declared formal and
Alfred Froseth was elected. !.
He will take charge as soon as
the bonds are approved, an ad-
journed meeting of the county
board having been called for
Feb. 4th, for that purpose.
The making public of the re-
ported shortage in the Office has
caused a good deal of excite
ment and the subject has been
the main topic of conversation
during the past two days. The
many friends of Mr.. Lien are
inclined to think that some mis1
take has been made and they
will not feel satisfied until the
books and records have again
been gone over. Mr.. Lien
stated to a Times representative
that he is to have an accounting
of all records in his Office by an
expert accountant for the pur-
pose of locating the reported
discrepancy and that he will not
abide by the figures of the
present accountant. He says
until this is done he will
continue to hold his Office. and
that he is confident that the
mistake will be located in due
thine.

people have decided to rebuild their
box factory plant and saw mill at
Bayfield,. The announcement was
made last Friday evening by VIM.
E. Kurz of Chicago. one of
the members of the firm,
who says that the work will com
mence within the MT two weeks.
The plans are to spend about $50, :
900 or $50, 900 in the new buildings.
The Kurz-Downey plant was de-
stroyed by fire last fall and there
was some talk to the effect that the
company was looking for new To-

have been false rumor. The re-
building of the plant at the Harbor
City means big thing for the city.
