The first of the New Years pretty
weddings was celebrated Monday
morning, at $50 o'clock, at St.

La Bissionere nuptials which united
to Mr. August La Bissionere Miss

to the decorative scheme.

GRACE SMELL WILL
LOOSE BOTH FEET
Former Amigo Girl Who was
Found in Deserted Lumber
Camp Nearly Frozen to Death
to Undergo Operation.
(Crandon Echo.)

1t has developed that the condition
of Grace Smell, the girl who was
frozen, as reported last week, neces-
states the amputation of both feet
just above the ankles, The operation
will be performed by Dr. c. o.
Decker at the Decker hospital, the
first of next week.
Since the Echo's last report, the
girl has been closely examined by
officers of the law, who have sought
to determine the truth of the case
which led to such serious results.
The facts appear to be that the
girls father had for some time been
inflicting bodily punishment upon
her because Of her friendly relations
with man named WEIGH, who had
been a boarder at her home 1t APP
pears, also that Grace had made an
agreement with the. man to meet
and run away with him some time
after New Year.
The night before the girl left home
she was threatened by her father,
who said he would punish her the
next morning. 1t was to escape such
chastisement that. she stole away in
the bitter cold Of early morning, as
reported, and sought shelter in the
deserted logging camp, near which
she was found by the train crew of
the Wisconsin and Northern four
days afterWard.
No amount of questioning can gain
from Grace an admission that she
was in company with WEIGH or of
any one else between the times of
leaving home and her rescue.
Neverthe less, warrant has been
sworn out for the arrest of the man
WEIGH, who is believed to be at
Rhinelander. He is man of un-
savory reputation, having been mix
ed to some extent in a train hold-up
which occurred near Waupaca some
years ago. The girl says she knew
nc evil Of him.

COMMISSIONERS ARE FREE
TO ACCEPT LOWEST BID
District Supreme Court Interprets
Law as Relating to
School Buildings.

Justice Wright of the District Su-
preme Court today decided that the
erection Of school building is not
such public work as contemplated in
the act OF 1873 requiring advertise
ments and the letting of the contract
to the lowest responsible bidder.
Under this ruling he discharged the
rule to show cause secured by Thomas
II. Melton against the District Com
missioners to prevent the award of a
contract to the Davis Construction
Company for the erection of an addi-
ton to the Armstrong Manual Train
ing School.
Melton claimed as a taxpayer he was
aggrieved by the action of the Commits
sioners in accepting bid submitted after
the hour for opening Of bids named in
the advertisement for proposals.
The commissioners commended that the
act of 1878, requiring advertisement did
not apply to school buildings, and point
ed out that Melton's suit was practically
the same as the one instituted last
week by the Melton Construction Com
pany and on which Justice Anderson
declined to enjoin the award to the Davis
Company.
The officials also claimed that nearly
Sc, 900 would be saved the District by
giving the work to the Davis concern.
Attorney +. b. Rhodes represented MIR
Melton. Corporation Counsel Thomas ap-
peared for the District and Attorney John
w Yerkes for the successful bidder.
