In the Bernard case, heard in the

county people have had brought
home to them strong argument for
a law allowing three-fourths of q jury
to render verdict. That case cost

and because two men had decided
opinions which could not be altered,
the same case will cost the same
amount next February, with probab-
ly the same result. We do not ques-
tion the motives or the sincerity of
the two men who held out, but we
stick to time-honored belief that
the majority is generally right. The

Hunters Arrested

Last week two Ashland hunt
ers were arrested for hunting
on the lands of the e. /. Dupont
Powder company at Barksdale.
They were arrested by the speci-
al policemen at the plant and a
warrant was sworn out in this
city. Both were convicted and
given a small fine. SuperiHten-
f. Il. Beers informs US that any
one found trespassing on the
lands of the company at Barks-
dale will be prosecuted. Hunt
ing near the dynamite works is
extremely dangerous, not only
for the hunters but for the men
at the works, for if shot should
strike any Of the explosive build
ings terrific explosion might
occur and it is for this reason
that the plant officials take pre-
cautions to keep hunters off their
lauds. Two patrolmen are cons
tinually patrolling the lands to
arrest any trespassers. The
company own 1900 acres of land
and notices ere posted every
where warning people off the
grounds,
Two Ashland hunters were
arrested again Sunday afternoon
for hunting on the company
grounds. Their fines amounted
to nearly $500 apiece. Super,
intendedt Beers says that hunt
ing on the lands near the dyna-
mite plant must cease and all
violaters will be prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law,
Hunters beware.

THE LONG WHISTLE
Sprague Mill Closes Down
For Season Wednesday
Night

The Long Whistle" was sound
ed at the Sprague Lum Der COM
pany mill last evening which an.
nounced that the plant had clos
ed down for the season. This
mill has had a steady run during
the past season, having run 1924
days in all, with very few stops
on account of break-downs. Ten
and a half million feet of lum-
ber wass sawed during the year
and three a half million lath
were cut. It has been a very
successful season for the plant.
During the:: winter the COM
pany expect to operate their
planning mill at full capacity and
this part of the business will
give steady employment to quite
a number of men.

one of the first of the third class
Offices of the country to become a

designated as such in an order of the
Postmaster General issued October
Goth. The order is to become effect
i've November 23rd at which time it
is altogether likely that the Washburn
Office will be opened.
Postmaster Nelson has not as yet
received any official notice>of the
designation of his office as postal
savings bank but expects to within a
very few days. Already he has re-
ceived some instructions governing
the opening of such bank in circulars
sent from Washington but his full
instructions will be given by post
Office Inspector.
All third class post Offices of the
country will be designated as postal
savings banks as rapidly as possible
and by the first of the coming year
nearly all will become such.

Government and State Of
ficiaIs Clash
Trouble Started Over the
Seizure of Nets Owned
by Indians.

The government officials and the
state game warden have clashed over
the present fishing troubles at Bay
field, and in order to have the
question definitely settled for all time
to come the present case is to be
carried to the highest courts.
The case in question is that of the
State against Charles Cadotte, Jr.
and John Artichon who were arrested
by the state game wardens charged
with illegal fishing. Cadotte and
Artichon are Indians from the Red
Clihfe reservation and were engaged
in fishing among the Apostle Islands
when they were arrested and their
nets confscated. A replevin action
was started by Cadotte and Artichon
to recover their property and the case
was supposed to have come up in the
Municipal court in this city yesterday,
Attorney John Walsh of this city
appearing for the Indians, but Agent
Campbell, acting for the government,
has asked that the cases be adjourned
until some time in December in order
that the Indian department at Wash
ington could be notified and take a
hand in the matter, the purpose be-
ing to make a test case of this one.
= Some few years ago a test case was
started over similar action but was
never concluded. Attorney Tomkins
of Ashland was fighting the case and
his death occurred before it was
finally settled. This case, however,
is to be carried to the highest courts.
From time to time Indians have
been arrested by the State game
wardens charged with violating the
state game laws but the Indians hold
that they are protected by treaty
and that the state game warden and
his deputies have no jurisdiction over
them. The outcome of this case will
prove interesting.

SHIP MANY SHEEP
S. Catlin & Son Ship Five
Carloads
We're Fattened on the Catlin
Ranch Located Back
of Nash

S. Catlin and Son who operate a
large sheep ranch near Nash, south
west of this city, made their largest
shipment of sheep this week when
five car loads were shipped to the
Chicago market, there being five
hundred and sixty sheep in the herd.
The shipment was made over the
Northwestern line.
For number of years S. Catlin
and Son have operated a ranch at
Nash. In the spring of the year they
buy sheep in the western states and
bring them to their ranch here where
they are allowed to roam during the
summer months. By fall the sheep
are rolling fat and they bring good
price on the market. The excellant
grass and clover on the lands in this
section make the best of feeding
grounds and there is good profit in
buying poor sheep in the spring and
fattening them here during the
summer months and marketing them
in the fall.
