WARDEN MAKES ARREST
Pinches II. R. Mccullough at
Black Oak Lake For Fish
ing Without Themselves
1t Justifiable?

Deputy Game Warden Herman
Volbrecht arrested H r. McCul;
Tough of Chicago at Black Oak
lake last Wednesday, charging
him with fishing without a non
resident license. Bond was Civ
en- at Eagle River that evening
for his appearance May 18th in
municipal court.
The News has not the space to
go into details this week regard
ing the arrest OF Mccullough,
bnt from what it has learned. it
would appear that Game War
den Volbrecht exceeded his
authority in several instances,
evidently striving to make rec
ord for himself out of this one
case. This paper has no respect
for violators, but it does believe
in Justice where no intentional
crime was committed, whether
the person be pauper or million
aire.

COOK RETAINS OFFICE
Tie Vote for County Superin-
tendent Remains the Same
mo Special Election.

As far as is now known Coun-
" Superintendent Grant Cook
will retain his Office for which
there was a tie vote on April 4th
between he and A. ]. Austin.
Each candidate received 491
votes and the board of canvas
sers found no different result. 1t
was at first thought that Mr..
Austin would call for a special
election but there seems to be no
law to that effect and no appli-
cation has as yet been made.
According to the following
citation of the law on the cleo
ton of county officers, Mr.. Cook
holds over. 1t says:
1.-The superintendent of each
district shall hold his Office until
his successor is elected and quail
fed " Sec. 698 us amended by
CHI. 3O7, laws of 1908.

A BIT % NOTHIN'

Eagle River is to have a clean
ing up soon. and while about
it as much attention should be
given to the back as the front
yard. Usually after the first
spring cleaning they are never
touched all summer, while the
front yards are well cared for.
When we clean up this spring let
US do q complete job of it and
then keep it up all summer. In
the nature of things it is some
what difficult to make the rear
premises as attractive as the
front lawn, but it is easily posi-
BILE to keep the back yard clean
and sanitary-and that is of suf-
ficient moment to the household
health and comfort to justify
whatever effort is required.
