10000 Acres of Bayfield, Co.
Lands Change Hands.
Dubuque, Iowa and Mime
apolis People Buy for
Coloniz alton Purposes

One of the biggest land deals that
has taken place in Bayfield, County
for some time was consumated the
latter part of last week when Dubu-
que, Iowa, and Minneapolis parties
purchased through B. c. Cooke of
Superior the S. F. Snively tract of
lands located in the northern part of
Bayfield, county in the CornucOpia-
Port Wing district.
The land is to be used for coloni-
zation purposes by the purchasers
who will commence Immediately to
clear and settle the lands. 1t is to
be used for fruit and dairying to
which it is suitably adapted. AL
though the consideration was not
given out, yet the deal is said to
run into thousands of dollars.
The lands purchased will be put
on the market Immediately and it is
intention of the purchasers to bring in
large colonies. The sale of these
lands will likely add many new settlers
to the northern part of the county.

this city is engaged in the real estate
business, being heavily interested in

Reported That $500" May
Build in Bayfield, County
Line Would Tap a Very Rich
Country Lying Between
Here and Duluth.

More news of a new railroad ex-
tending from this city to Bayfield, and
thence along the shore of Lake SUI
perior to the cities at the head of
the lakes was contained in an article
in the News Tribune of last Friday
followed up by an editorial the follow
ing day For some time the people
in the northern part of Bayfield,
county have been hopeful that rail-
road would soon be built through
that valuable stretch of country and
it is beginning to look as if their
dreams of railroad would soon come
true. The News-Tribune in COM
menting on the new road says that
the Bayfield, county region is too rich
a country and is developing too fast
to be long overlooked.
All of the south shore country,
now that it's attractions are becoming
known, will settle rapidly. All of
that peninsula is to be the country's
great fruit region. 1t has already
proven itself, and with the building
of the road, cities and villages would
spring up as if by magic.
The railroad, according to a well
authenticated story, will come
through the taking over by the Soo'
line of the bayfield, & Western trans
fer, piece of road now twenty
miles in length extending from Bay
field to a point about seven miles
east of Cornucopia. 1t is then on the
cards to extend the line along the
shore through Port Wing to Superior
To bear this out certain property
has recently been secured by 500"
interests at Port Wing, Wis. with
view to building dock there.
According to the News-Tribune
article the Bayfield, & Western is a
gain being operated by c. E. Wales,
who is in close tonch with the 500"
management. under a lea sc from it's
owners the Dalrymple estate. 1t is
said that the $500" people have long
had their eyes upon this country and
that they have been considering
building connecting line between
Ashland, along the shore of Chequa-
megon Bay and Lake Superior
through the northern part of Bayfield,
and Douglas counties to Superior and
Duluth. 1t would furnish this rail
road with connecting link between
the line operated as far as Ashland
and their line at the head ofthe lake.
Railroad men consider the proposed
railroad as good business PROPOSE
ton from an operating point of view.
The development of the fruit culture
in this territory is attracting wide
spread attention and when it is
opened up through the building of
transportation facilities the influx of
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1912-07-25

settlers may be expected to be large.
Other industries would spring up in
this rich territory and it would pay
line from the very beg inning.
There are now several towns and
villages along the route of the pro-
posed line which are sorely in need
of railroad and this fact has retard-
ed their growth The resources of
these towns and villages would be
developed with the building of road
and with the new business at all
other points along the route the line
would be money maker from the
very start.

JACK ROSE FACES
COWED GUNMEN
Repeats Story Told at Becker
Trial-Defense Stunned by
Shapiro Story.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-"Bald
Jack" Rose took the stand as soon
as court convened this morning.
Calmly and glibly he began his
narrative, going over much of the
ground covered at the Becker trial.
He told of meetings with the gum
mem of Becker's threat to frame
them" unless they "croaked'' Rosen-
thai; Of Becker's boast that he
would shield them after the job was
done.
".AlI right: we'll do it. the
witness said the defendants assured
him.
"Bridgie" Webber may be called
some time this afternoon
Another witness whose testimony
the State planned to Introduce today
was Thomas Coupe, the young Eng
lishman who. as clerk at the Elks
Club, was an eyewitness to the
crime
District Attorney Whitman ex-
pressed satisfaction today at the SEN
satIonal confession OF William Sha-
piro, driver of the gray murder car, :"
who swore on the stand yesterday
that his passengers were the defend
ants, 'Gyp the Blood. " Lefty Louis, .
whitley Lewis and "Dago Frank
Cirofici.
Shapiro told the district attorney
that he had been afraid to testify
heretofore. but the death of big
Jack" Zelig, the gang leader, had so
eased his mind that he decided TO
turn States evidence.
Shapiro's testimony left the four
defendants pale and shaken, and as
they looked forward to the ordeal of
listening TO the story of Jack Rose
today it was evident that they had
not regained their ease.
Until Shapiro had appeared ON the
stand the defendants had put on al
least a semblance of cheerfulness
even maintaining a comparatively
calm demeanor when Louis Krause
the waiter, identified three of them
as the men he had seen with re-
yoIvers in their hands outside the
Metropole when Rosenthal was shot
But the testimony of the chauffeur
seemed to sweep away their good
feeling and their return journey te
the Tombs was marked by the utmosl
detection.
He is a codefendant of the gunmen
but it is now probable that the indict-
ment will be dismissed.

WOMAN KILLED BY
CAR UNIDENTIFIED
Run Down on South Orange
Avenue, Dies Without Re-
covering Consciousness.

At the city Hospital is the body
of an unidentified woman, about go
years old, who was fatally injured
last night by trolley car at South
Orange and Brookdale avenues.
She walked blindly in front of an
eastbound car. Although it was rum
ming slowly she was struck and
thrown to the road head-first.
Lieutenant Donnelly, of police head
quarters, who was one of the passen-
gers in the car, carried her into a
store. She died two hours later in the
hospital without regaining conscious
ness.
The attendants at the hospital found
several newspaper clippings announc-
ing a boxing bout which took place
at the Central Institute, this city. The
names which appeared in the clipping
were.
Jack Driscoll, of Brooklyn; Young
Weinert, Fred Keller, of Irvington;
Bob Mack. Young Slazer, Jack Goode
and Joe Palmer. A number of clip
pings with the names of bicycle riders
who have ridden at the Velodrome
found.
Early this morning a woman called
up the hospital and asked the night
operator if the dead woman wore
black veil around her hat. The clerk
informed the Inquirer that no such
article had been found among her
effects. It later developed that the
woman had worn veil. The operator
failed to get the name of the party
who inquired. She mentioned that
she had expected a visit from her
mother last night, and that she had
not shown up.
Christopher 1allgan, 2S years old,
of 715 South Orange avenue. the
motorman, and William Horton, %,
of 31s Eighteenth avenue, the con-
ductor, were arrested and paroled in
the Fourth Precinct police station.
The woman was five feet four
inches in height, dressed entirely in
black, with white silk handkerchief
tied around her neck.

in Scrap Gold

Thefts of gold dust and scrap IA
karat gold during the last two years,
amounting to nearly $4,000, led to the
arrest of Charles Gossweller, 46 years
old, of Al Crawford street, by Lieu
tenants Tuite and Maier, and a plea
of guilty when he was arraigned be-
fore Judge Hahn, in the First Crimi-
nal Court oday.

made the arrest Gossweiler has been
stealing the gold in small quantities
undetected for some time, but evil
dence leading to his arrest was found
last Saturday when he took small
quantity of the dust. Gossweiler has
made restitution of $500 in cash, ac-
cording to his employer, Samuel
Clark. OF 449 Washington street.
The complaint to which Gossweiler
pleaded guilty and was held for the
grand Jury in $4,000 bail was for
thefts amounting to s24o. said to have
been committed on July 20. August II.

BOY WITH BROKEN
NECK RECEIVERS
After Month in Hospital Is Dis.
charged as Completely
Cured.

After having given up all hope of
saving the life of 16-year-old Harry
Brown, who has been suffering with
a broken neck, at the City Hospital
for the past month, the physicians
at the hospital discharged him today
as completely cured. When young
Brown left the hospital today he re-
quired no brace or cast about his
neck, as is usually the case.
The lad was struck by an automo-
bile on October 10 as he was attempt
ing to cross Washington place. He
was struck by the fender and tossed
alongside of pile of dirt, landing
with his vertebrae pressed against
a round stone. He was removed to
the City Hospital, where he wavered
between life and death until about a
week ago, when signs of improvement
were noted by the doctors.
The physicians at the hospital re-
gard the lads entire recovery as
nothing short of miracle. 1t is
without precedent at the hosINtal.
Had the lads neck been broken by
a violent blow he would probably
never nave recovered. as the spinal
cord would have been injured. He
lives at q Halsey street.
