MUST COMPLY WITH LAW
State Highway Commission Informs
Bayfield, County on Expenditure
of Money for New Roads.

Madison.--The Bayfield, county
board has been informed by the state
highway commission that all money
on new road work must be spent in
compliance with the terms of the
law. Before any further advance is
made, said the commission, the main
tenance of the whole system must be
abandoned by the county and the
county money confined to making
certain definite improvements. The
1912 state money will be allotted to
the county when it selects and i'm
proves certain. specific pieces of road
work or bridges with its money.
Acting Highway Commissioner A.
r. Hirst wrote that the road work
he saw is not high class and that the
lack of success is due mainly to the
fact that the money has been spent
by scattering it each year over all
the county systems
The state highway commission has
issued statement showing the to-
tai expenditures of it's department for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1912,
were $37,555.69. The general ex-
penditures were S9,730.8S; road de-
partment. s10,935.03; bridge de-
partment, $7,S40.99, and experiment
tai roads, s9,04S.79.

ORDERS lnTERuRBAN SOLD
Four Years Litigation Over Chicago
& Milwaukee Electric Line Ends
With Federal Court Decree

Milwaukee. -After four years of
litigation in federal courts, United
States Judge F. A. Geiger signed a
decree directing the sale of the Chi
cago q Milwaukee Electric railroad
and the foreclosure of $4,000, 900
mortgage held by the Western Trust
and Savings Bank, Chicago, and Will
Ioughby G. Walling, Chicago. The
order directs Special Master Charles

ties. All funds raised in excess of
$40, 100000 will go to the creditors.
1t is claimed that the order will re-
suit in a complete reorganization of
the traction company, plans for
which are under way and which will
be started Immediately after the fore
closure details have been arranged.

cided upon a S10,00O,00O bond issue

FOUR ARE DROWNED IN MIN E
Water at Bottom of Shaft at Ben
tor-Would- Be Rescuer Dies.

Platteville.-Four men, overcome
by deadly gases, fell into thirty feet
of water in the new shaft of the
Frontier lead and zinc mine at Ben
ton and drowned. They were Will
lam Mcclure, John Swift, Joseph
Shea and Edward Hird.
The first three men got into the
bucket to go down and bail out the
water which had been coming into
the shaft for some time They had
reached point only a little way
from the surface when they were
overcome by the gas and fell from
the bucket. Hird, who, with others,
was helping at the mouth of the
shaft, realizing that an accident had
happened, attempted to descend and,
in his turn, was overcome by the va
pors and drowned.
Immediate steps were taken to rid
the shaft of the foul air and in a
short time it was possible to descend.
Volunteers went into the shaft as
soon as possible and in a short time
the bodies were brought to the sur
face.
All of the victims except Shea
were married men. aG

HALF BREEDS PUSH
CLAIMS FOR LANDS
Make Contention That Holders
Are Not Legal Owners.
GOVERNMENT IS INVOLVED
Property in Dispute Situated in White
Earth Reservation and Is Worth
Several Million Dollars - Lumber
Companies May Be Defendants.

Ashland.-Many times investiga
lions have been started to trace the
ancestry of Americans in order to
determine their right to property or
money, but an unusual investigation
came up in Ashland on Wednesday
in the effort to trace the ancestry of
several hundred Indians from north
ern Minnesota in order to determine
their right to millions of dollars
worth of timbered lands on the White
Earth reservation
The members of the White Earth
tribe have secured their tracts of
timber, which most of them sold to
lumber companies and much of the
timber has been cut Many of these
individual tracts are worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 and many of the
families on the reservation are worth
from $4,000 to $4,000.
The investigation taken up here
was on the contention advanced that
Gus Beauleau and Ben Fairbanks,
two mixed breeds, had no right to be
classed as breed Indians from White
Earth, and about 1000 of their as
sociate mixed breeds, had not right
to be classed as White Earth Indians
on the grounds that their parents did
not go to northern Minnesota until
after the treaty of 1854 setting aside
the Indians in Minnesota into tribe
separate from the Chippewas of Wis
consin
Many of the parents of the present
mixed breeds on the White Earth res
ervation left this vicinity and went to
Minnesota. The contention is that
most of these Indians left here after
1854 and that where this can be
proven every descendant now holding
allotments on the White Earth res
ervation must be stricken from the
roll and their allotments given back
| to the tribe. With the timber being
cut in many instances the lumber
companies having contracts on the
reservation are the real defendants,
and several million dollars is in
volved in the matter.
| Thomas G. Sherman, representing
the Indian department, is here con-
| Quoting the investigation.

dent and Vice President by AccIamation.

Chicago, Aug. s. - Theodore
Roosevelt was nominated for presi-
dent and Gov Hiram w. Johnson of
California for vice president by the
convention of the national progress
sive party Wednesday afternoon.
Both nominations were made by ac-
clamation amid scenes of great en-
thusiasm and few moments later
both candidates were escorted to the
platform, officially notified of the ac-
ton of the convention and each de-
livered brief speech of acceptance.
The platform was then submitted
to the convention and adopted. 1t
comprises about 5000 words and
follows closely along the lines laid
down by Col. Roosevelt in his speech
delivered tot the convention on Tues
day.
Roosevelt was placed in nomina-
ton by William A. Prendergast of
New York and the nomination was
seconded by Judge Ben B. Lindsay
Of Colorado, Henry J. Allen of Kan
sas, Jane Adams, Gov. Hiram W
Johnson of California, Gen. Hcratio

be locally designated because OF
state laws.
During the three days the conyen-
ton was in session there was not a
single roll call, nor ballot taken.
! The delegates asked no such formal
tiles either in placing their candi-
dates in nomination or in voting for
them. There was not a voice of OPP
| position either to Col. Roosevelt or
Gov Johnson.
There was sharp discussion, how
ever, in several of the committee
meetings, and no little difficulty in
agreeing upon the platform as dnally
adopted. Col. Roosevelt worked
with the subcommittee in charge of
the platform until late Wednesday
afternoon, going over their work OF
the two previous days and nights,
and vigorously helping to mold the
draft which at last proved acceptable
| to him. The platform did not take

INDIAN AGENT SUSPENDED
Samuel w. Campbell. Superintendent

Washington, D. C.-Because of
charges against him, Samuel w.
Campbell, superintendent of the La
Pointe Indian agency in Wisconsin,
has been suspended and his place
temporarily filed by T. ] Murphy of
the Indian Office.
Campbell probably will be called

The controller of the treasury has
disallowed expenditures of $54,771
made by Campbell from the funds
of individual Indians, following
charges that the letter and spirit of
the law had been violated.
The auditor of the interior DEPART

that Campbell had deposited to the

The theory that moonshining is

recently when it became known that
colonies of southerners had settled

Gently sent its search for the famous
Virginia outlaw, Sidna Allen, into

1t was during the expeditions of
government sleuths into the tangle
of the northern forests, it is claimed,
that the first tips were gotten on
moonshining in Wisconsin
1t is also known that Indians on
the northern reservations, for months
past, have been experiencing little
difficulty in procuring whisky. This
it is said, is a corn product
The similarity of the whisky
found in the possession of Indians to
that distilled by the southern reve-
nue. dodgers, planted suspicion in the
minds of many. 1t is intimated that
arrests may be made soon.
About four years ago several
moonshiners were arrested in the vi
entity of Crandon by local federal
authorities and brought to Milwau-
kee for trial.
