Locked Killed by
Moran Boys.

Ross and James Moran, two
boys living at the Halfbreed
Settlement north of the State
Fish Hatchery, on Monday of
this week succeeded in killing
two fine buck deer which were
engaged IN a desperate battle,
their horns beingsecurely locked
together. As the boys were
driving along the road they hear d
the clash in the brush near the
road and both got ont to see
what was making all the com mmo.
tion. AS they entered the woods
they saw the two deer but neither
could get away SO the fight con-
tinued. After watching the
battle for some time Q the elder
brother fred and one of the deer
feu. Inc other one attempted
to get away and dragged the
dead deer for quite a distance
until some heavy brush was en-
conntered which stopped his
progress. James Moran then
went up and killed the other
animal. 1thas been impossible
to get the horns apart without
breaking them and the two heads
will be mounted together. o.
G. Mills of this city has the
heads at his taxidermist shop
and will mount them.
Had the deer not been dis
covered they would un-
doubtedly have died in the
woods. The deer weighed about
100 pounds each.

ON LAKE ALL NIGHT
Gasoline Boat Caught Out
in a Binding
Blizzard.

r. J. Russell of LaPointe, George
Cooley of Ashland and two other
men had a thrilling experience on
Monday night of this week when
they were caught out on the Che
quamegon Bay in a gasoline boat
and were compelled to face blind
ing blizzard all night. The launch
started from Madeline Island for
Ashland with a scow which was
loaded with hay and out near the
break water the boat encountered
some heavy ice and the boat was
damaged to such an extent that it
could not proceed any farther. Tie
men went to Ashland, crossing the ice
and returned TO the boat ana made
the necessary repairs. La the mean.
time the scow had drifted into the
ice aud it was i'm possible to get it
out. Mr.. Russell intended to take
his launch back to Bayfield, and after
getting out in the middle of the bay
something went wrong with tie
boat and it drifted until itl struck
the Ashland side of the bay east of
Ashland. The men were out in the
boat all night and in the morning a
signal of distress was hoisted. This
was noticed by the freighter H. G.
Brewer which went to the assist
ance of the small boat and it was
towed to this city Tuesday morning.
The men had hard time trying
to keep warm during the fifteen
hours that they we're out in the
storm but none Of the men are any
the worse off for the experience.

DON'T Like the Law.

Lacrosse, Wis, Nov 49, Declar-
ing the new state highway law a
fraud upon the people. designed only
in the in teres is. OF automobile own
ers aud pleasure seekers, the Monroe
county board had field day today
at the expense of the new state
statute, which was expected to
transform the roads of Wisconsin.
Similar attacks on the Law were made
by the Lacrosse, Trempeauleau and
Vernon county. boards last week.
Under the law the state pays one
third the cost of improving country
roads, and the town and county
each a third, but the state collects
is proportion by levying tax upon
the county in exactly the same
amount that it pays back, so that
each county really furnishes its own
state aid. This is the fact which
has aroused the rural supervisors 10
criticism.

THE Herring CASE
Is Being Tried at Superior
Again This Week. Yer
dict Expected Today

The $50, 100000 damage suit of r.
A. Herring against the E. l. Du.
Pont Powder company has been on
trial at Superior this week having
been commenced last Monday morn
ing. The taking Of evidence was
finished yesterday and the case is
now in the hands of the jury and it

cred some time today.
On account of the large amount
of damages asked this case has at
tracted a good deal of attention
throughout this part of the state,
Mr.. Herring was injured at the plan
near this city three years ago when
he was burned about the face, hands
and arms by nitric acid. For many
weeks he was laid up in the hospital
at Ashland and for time it was
feared that he would loose his eye
sight. For this accident Herring
asks for damages in the above sum.
When the case was first brought
for trial in the court in this city it
was suited. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme court and the
case was ordered back for trial. In
the second trial the jury found for
Herring and the damages were a.
warded in the sum $500 and the
case was appealed by the company
and ordered back again on some
techicnal point. This is the second
time that tie case was tried at
Superior.
Attorney A. w. Mcleod of this
city is appearing for the company
while Attorney e. G. Alvord of this
city and A. w. Sanborn of Ashland

Fell Down Stairs at Starr
House Saturday Night
Neck Was Broken by the
Fall and He Died AL
most Instantly.

city for number of years, met his
death very suddenly last Sunday
morning when he fell down the stairs
at the Starr House with the result
that his neck was broken and he died
almost instantly. Since the death of
his last wife some years ago Stanley
has been living alone at his home on
west 9th street but a few weeks ago
he began to feel poorly and fearing
that he might die at any time de-
cided to stay at the Starr house. At
an early hour Sunday morning Mr..
Stanley arose and attempted to GO
downstairs when he must have fallen
striking on the back of his neck with
the result that his neck was broken
and he died almost instantly.
The body was taken in charge of
by Undertaken Amos NJ. Hanso n
Sunday morning and was prepared
for burial. Monday night the body
was taken in charge of by Undertaken
Hoppenyan of Ashland, who was
acting for Mrs. Darrow, who claims to
be sister, and taken to Ashland.
Some time ago Mr.. Stanley went
to the office of DIR. Mitchell i'm this
city and had will drawn up. Mr..
Stanley at that time said that he had
no relatives in this country and in the
will he provided for his burial in case
of death, stating that he wanted to
be given decent burial in the city
|cemetary in this city and that after
all funeral expenses and debts had
been paid the balance of his estate
was to 60 to DIR. Mitchell for the
services which the doctor had render
ed to himself and family. The will
was signed and delivered to DIR. Nit
chell.
Since Mr.. Stanley's death several
relatives have put in an appearance,
women from Ashland claiming to be
sister and man from Minneapolis
claiming to be son. Both will
undoubtedly lay claim to the estate
of the dead man and the courts will
probably be called upon to decide to
whom the estate shall go to.
Stanley, at the time of death, had
something over $500 in one of the
local banks. He also owned a lot in
west d Duluth and house and lot in
this city.
Fred Miller, the son from Minnea-
yolis, arrived yesterday morning, and
laid claim to the body and the funeral
will not be held until he can get
papers from Michigan which he
will prove that he is Stanley's right
full son by the first wife who now re-
sides in Minneapolis. The body will
then be brought to this city and in
teament will take pldce in the city
cemetarv. Miller says that his
mother and Stanley were divorced
when he was a youngster.
