Another Appeal for Aid

The members of the Black River
Falls relief committee have sent out
another appeal for aid for the food
sufferers. The awfulness of the
disaster which practically wiped the
fourishing little city off the map can
not be over estimated for it was one
of the worst municipal disasters in
the annals of the state. The city
has been left without funds with
which to repair the damage done and
the law does not permit the city
officials to bond the city for any
further funds. The condition is
awful. The river is still flowing in
the new channel made by the food
right through the center of the town
and the first relief necessary now is
the building of coffer-dam to turn
the water back into the old channel
so thatithe city can be built up again.
This the relief committee is attempt
ing to do but they have not sufficient
funds and are sending out another
appeal to the people of the state to
assist in the time of need.
Eighty per cent of the business
district of the city was totally
destroyed and thirty-three residences
were swept away. Unless the relief
committee can secure the money with
which to turn the water back in the
old channel the land upon which the
business section of the city was built
is worthless.
The relief committee is composed
of men of prominence in the state
and any money that is entrusted in
their hands will be used to the best
advantage.

Steamer Sonoma Almost
Founders in Storm
Members of Crew Tell of
Thrilling Experience
in Big Storm

The Steamer Sonoma which arrived
in port last Saturday afternoon with
a cargo of coal for the Northwestern
Fuel company had a. very trying trip
while upbound. The steamer left
the 500 and encountered the big
storm which ragged on Lake Superior
Friday night and Saturday. While
out into the middle of the lake the
steamer attempted to turn about and
run for shelter and in doing so got
caught in the trough of the sea and
was unable to make progress. The
members of the crew stated that they
expected the boat to go down at al
most any minute and every member
on the boat had their life preservers
on to be ready when the fatal mo-
ment came. The boat was almost
turned over by the giant waves but
each time righted itself and after a
most thrilling experience managed to
reach the shelter of the Apostle ISL
ands.
A number of the members of the
crew would not attempt the down
trip and the captain was obliged to
hire number of men here to COM
plete his crew. 1t was a terrific
storm on the Lake.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Deer Hunter Charged by a
Monster Buck That
was Wounded.

A fellow named Krenkler of Ash
land who had been hunting deer out
in the vicinity of Nine Mile Post on
the Battle Axe road reports having
had thrilling experience last Satur-
day when he was attacked by large
buck deer which he had wounded.
The hunter was going through the
woods when he suddenly came upon
the big deer and drawing fine bead
on his prey fired and brought the
deer down. AS he was going toward
the deer to cut the animals throat
the deer suddenly jumped up and
charged the hunter. The hunter
was knocked over but the deer being
exhausted, fell upon him. Krenkler
grabbed the buck by the horns to
prevent being further charged and
held him until his companion came
over and cut his throat. Krenkler
then released his hold and the buck
jumped up again where it stood until
it fell over dead. In order to bear
his story out Krenkler presented a
badly torn coat at the camp which he
said had been torn when he was
charged by the wounded deer.

One of the most severe early
winter storms struck this Sec
tion of the country last Satur-
day and continued until Tuesday
night. Friday evening the sky
began to cloud and by Saturday
a good sized storm was raging
over the Lake Superior region.
Rain continued to fall until Sat.
urday evening when it turned to
snow aud for two days regular
winter storm was in progress.
In the country westof Washhurn
over twelve inches of snow fell
but in the city only about six
inches of snow covers the ground
Winter weather accompanied the
storm and for several days the
thermometer shovered down a.
round the zero mark.
On the lakes the storm was a
fierce one and all boats sought
shelter and did not venture out
until it was over. In southern
Wisconsin a cyclone swept the
country followed by cold weather
and much suffering was ex
perienced.

Isaac Mekkomen of Ashland
Killed Out From This City
Fell Off Log and Gun Was
Accidentally Discharged.
Lived Four Hours

The first hunting accident of the
season to occur in the vicinity of this
city happened Tuesday Afternoon
when Isaac Mekkomen of Ashland,
age II years, was accidentally killed
while hunting out near the Herman
Hill farm in the town of Washburn.
Mekkomen and his companion had
left Ashland in the morning for the
hunting grounds west of the city.
Shortly after the noon hour Mekko-
men started deer and climbed up
on log to get better shot at the
animal. Just as he was aiming at
the deer he slipped from his position
on the log and the hammer of the
gun caught upon the log as he fell,
discharging the cartridge in the barrel.
The ball struck Mekkomen in the
abdomen, tearing big hole through
the body. His companion rushed to
the Herman Hill farm where help
was summoned and Mekkomen was
carried to the Hill home and Drs,
Spears and Langenderfer of this city
were summoned but the boy died
few hours after their arrival.
The body was taken to Ashland
yesterday morning by Herman Hill
and Mekkomen's hunting companion.
1t is not likely that an inquest will be
held. Il

DUTIES NEGLECTED.
County ROAD Committee
Makes Report
Says that Highway Commits
siOner has Not Observed
Any of the Rules

ASv 0sSAOA - uhO OAO0O va WIN
annual session of the coup' =
board Tuesday evening She
committee ON roads and bridges
of the county board pres ented a
report on the work that had been
done on the county system of
roads since September 18th.
The report was very complete
and covered a large portion of
the work that had been done
and all that had been inspected
by the committee. The report
would indicate that the work in
some instances had been en-
tirely satisfactory while other
work had cost almost double
the estimated cost.
In their report to the comfy
board the committee stated that
the Highway Commissioner had
failed and neglected TO observe
the rules and regulations laid
down by the county board and
that it was impossible for the
committee to keep any track of
the work that was being done
or the money that was being ex-
pended. The committee stated
that all the rules with the ex-
ception of rule /, which pro-
vides that the Com missioner
shall meet with the committee
upon receipt of five days notice,
had been violated by the COM
missioner and that instead Of
devoting his entire time to the
duties of the Office the Com
missioner had only given four
days service to the county from
Sept. 18th to Oct. 18th.
In view of the fact that the
Com missioner had failed to file
any reports the com mittee stat
ed that they were unable to
audit the accounts of the high
way commissioner.
The leading of this report by
Mr.. Trippe, a member of the
committee, caused some little
stir among the member of the
board and Eben Olson, the Com
missioner, Immediately asked
that he be given an opportunity
to be heard. Mr.. Olson said
that the com mittee's duties
seemed to be to follow on his
trail in an endeavor to oust him
from Office and he assailed them
for their actions in the strong
est terms. He said that the
committee had never asked for
a report.
Supervisor John Walsh of this
city, arose in defense of the
committee and himself. Mr..
Walsh was very plain in his re-
marks stating that the affairs of
the Office of road COM missioner
as conducted had been a dis.
grace to Bayfield, county and
a joke to the people. He said
that it was high time that some
action was taken by the county
board. A resolution was pre-
sented by Mr.. Walsh and was
passed by the board in which the
State Highway Com mission will
be asked to supervise the road
work done in Bayfield, county up
OIL which state money will be
expended. With this resolution
in effect Day .feld couaty will oe

sufficient to insure the. com

Annual Meeting of County
Board Held Tuesday
All of the Business of the
Year Cleaned Up. Much
Work Done.

The County Board of Bayfield,
county met in annual session at the
court house in this city Tuesday and
a large amount of business was dis
posed of by that body before they
took their adjournment at IL: 80 in
the evening. The reports of the
various committees that had been TAT
work in advance of the meeting were
all adopted. This included report
of the finance committee, the report
of the committee on sheriff, justice
and constable bills, the report of the
committee on stationary and printing
the report of the committee on equali-
zation, the report of the committee
on illegal taxes and tax certificates.
A good deal of the time during the
day was taken up by the discussion
of the plan of accepting state aid with
which to improve the county system
of highways. The law did not seem
to be quite clear to many of the
members of the board and for this
reason the question was made more
difficult to handle. the board by
resolution adopted the system that
the county should st and the two
thirds per centage of the work done
under state aid and that the state
should stand the other third, there
by using the state aid as it saw fit
and not giving the towns that applied
for aid the amo92ts asked fer.
The equalization of the property
of the county proved another hard
nut to crack but the report of the
Supervisor of Assessments was finally
adopted. The equalization was as
