KENTUCK LAKE BEARS
Bruin Mauls Two Cows and
Conbats for a Distance of
Two Miles With the Head
of the Herd.

When David Gertz came in the
other day from the Babcock sum
mer home on Kentuck lake,
about twenty miles northeast of
Eagle River, he corroborated the
story that has been going the
rounds the past week concerning
the iniuring of the Babcock herd
OF COWS By a bear
The Babcock home is located
in the bigstrip of hardwood near
the Brule river, where black bear
and wolves are quite numerous
and which have proved lucrative
to trappers for years.
According to Mr.. Gertz two of
the COWS came believing into the
yard one afternoon a week ago
in an almost exhausted condi-
ton, one having a strip of hide
torn from her side. A little later
the bull appeared. Chunks Of
hair and hide were torn from his
body and at one point the shout
der blade was laid bare. His
horns were covered with blood,
and from his hayed condition it
was evident he had had the fight
of his life.
Mr.. Gertz investigated. For
two miles he could follow the line
of battle, shown by broken down
shrubs and trampled earth. At
one place where the battle led
along the brow of a illevidences
showed where the participants
had rolled almost to the bottom,
but still keeping up the fight.
Evidence gathered by Mr.,
Gertz showed that a big black
bear, presumably a female with
cubs, had attacked the cattle.

two sisters, Mrs. Emma Cannon
and Ella Zwicker of Eagle River.
All were present at the funeral
except Walter who arrived Sun
day morning.
The funeral was held from the
farm Friday afternoon, Rev. R.
Z. Moss conducting the service
at the home and at the grave
side. Inlerment was made in
the village cemetery.
The loss ofone atthe age when
such brilliant plans are being
made for the future is indeed a
sad blow to the family and to
the lads friends. While his circle
OF acquaintance in the village
was small owing to the short
time he had been here the friends
OF the the parents offer their SYM
pathy at this time of bereave-
ment. The loss of one who form
ed close friendships will be
mourned by the many friends he
had in Appleton where his boy,
hood days were spent.

Attend Madison Convention.

Game Wardens James ODER
hotter and Henry Oberholtzer
of Eagle River were IN attend
ance at the convention of game
wardens of the state at Madison
last week. The meeting was held
the first three days of the week
and was a civil service and physi-
cal examination for the game
wardens of the state of whom
over sixty were in attendance.
The meetings were addressed by
prominent men and much OF
value was discussed by the war
dens, chief among their topics
being the uniformity of the game
laws throughout the state. Some
well based suggestions were
offered for changes in the game
laws which will be presented be
fore the next legislature. The
convention was marked by full
attendance and lively interest
which the wardens showed III
discussing the work in various
parts OF the state.

Dies at County Jail.

Eric Lenric, a foreigner, died OF
consumption at the county jail
Friday morning. He had been
picked up at the depot the day
before and taken to the jail and
made comfortable. It appears
that Lenric had been working at
Hacklev for the company for a
wear and halfbut had been sick
for about four months and had
gone to Hurley. When it became
known he was a Hackley charge
he was sent back to this county.
He had no relatives and was
buried in the potter's field.

Hav Crop Is Bumper One.

The man who believes North
ern Wisconsin is a risky place to
make an investment in good
farm lands has another guess
coming. The hay crop this year
would put to flight all skeptics
who have not faith in this coun-
try. While people farther south
are complaining of the small hay
crop farmers around Eagle River
and throughout this northern
country in general areh harvesting
one of the biggest hay crops ever
raised in this section. The hay
Weld this season is very heavy
and in many instances a heavy
second crop is promised from the
present outlook. But even tho
this season is especially produc-
tive of grass crops it is not to be
inferred that it is exceptional
Never in the history of this sec
ton has there ever been a crop
failure. Drouth and heat may
destroy crops in other regions
but the farmers in upper W1scon-
sin have no fear Of an utter tail
ure Too many tines under adj
raree conditions has it been dem
onstrated that there IS always
something he can rely upon.

WILL HAVE CREAMERY

erative Plant for Farmers
of this Section---$58OO in
Stock Subscribed.
According to present plans
Eagle River will have a creamery
in operation within a very short
time. The Hastings Industrial
Co, of Chicago, represented bv
7. \. Hawkins and 7. M. Brent
have been promoting the cream
cry project among the farmers of
the vicinity and to date have
$500 subscribed in stock. A
meeting was held at the town
hall yesterday afternoon and
committee composed of Mart
Hirzel, c. B. Eaton and Ed.
Frederick was appointed to Sc
cure a site for the location of the
creamery.
N. M. Emmons, who was in
strumental in securing the repre-
sentativeS of the Hastings Co.,
to come to this place and pro-
mote the creamery, states that
there is every reason why the un-
dertaking should be a success.
With $4,000 subscribed when
$500 was necessary and many
more desiring to subscribe, the
success of the plant seems to be
assured. About $50 COWS have
already been secured from which
the creamery will draw its prod
ucts and with this as a basis
with the promise of larger herds
IN coming years, as will inevita-
blv he the case when the merits
of the creamery are shown, other
districts will ship their products
to Eagle River-products that
are now going to other creamer-
les. While the dividends will not
be forthcoming on the invest
ment at the very outset, Mr.. En-
mons states there is every pros
pect of the investment bringing
good returns in a few years. The
success that has attended other
creameries bids fair to follow the
local project. This is one of the
greatest sections of the United
States for raising forage an
asset which is the one thing need
cd for creamery.
The site near the wattrwOrks
Is now under the eve of the com
mittee but nothing definite has
been secured at this time The
building will be of adequate size
and according TO plans will be
completely equipped with all
modern machinery for the sam
tarv handling of cream. Besides
the butter-making apparatus
there will be modern ice cream
machine, it being the desire OF
those in charge to have as COM
plete a creamery in Eagle River
as can be found anywhere in the
state. The contractor who will
have charge of construction OF
the building is expected to arrive
today. From the present out
look the creamery will be ready
for operation in about two
months.
