Two small boys, playing

the appearance Of one that
had been well cared for in

city in the matter of the sale of tickets upon
the street cars of the Seattle Electric Co.
The Star believes that Ralph S. Pierce, who
was delegated by Corporation Counsel Brad
ford to represent the city in the hearing will
do his duty, but it believes, also, that of greater
influence with the commission will be the ap
pearance of an attorney speaking directly for the
people as individual patrons of the street cars,
and not as an incorporated community.
The people do not want to wait until the su-
preme court announces its decision in the strap

What they want is immediate action. Under
the recent decision of Judge Rudkin in the fed

whom appeal may be legally made for relief.
That is the state public service commission.

off two circles. as follows: From

had set, the digging began. The walls

Mr. Wray uses block and tackle
for hosting the silage from the pit.
The box in which the silage is ele-
waited has false bottom SO all he has
to do when he gets 1t raised to the top
is to trip the bottom and the load is
deposited in the cart ready for haul

Gas, which usually is so dangerous,
does not accumulate in these pit silos

Mr.. Wray lowered lantern before

tered the deadly gas. 1t is important,
however. always to be sure it is not

Make Getaway With About
Six Hundred Dollars
Post Office Inspector W. J.
Hickman Now in Charge
of the Case.

The big safe in the post Office and
store at Mason, Wis. was blown by
burglars last Thursday evening at
shortly after twelve clock and about
5000 in money was taken, $500 OF
which belonged to the post Office de-
partment and the balance to the
Mason store.
Nitroglycerine was used to blow
the safe and the report of the shot
was heard about town. The door of
the safe was blown completely of
and the inside was badly wrecked.
The people sleeping in the building
above the bank, which is located next
to the store building, heard the shot
as did also the night watchman.
Within five minutes after the ex-
plosion they arrived upon the scene
but the burglars had made their
getaway.
Under-sherif Mcdonald was noti-
fed that evening and left Immediately
for Mason. No clue could be found
by which the robbers could be traced.
Post Office Inspector w. j. Hickman
lis now in charge of the case and is
endeavoring to round up the guilty
parties.
A big sale had been in progress at
the Mason store last Thursday and a
large amount OF business was done
during the evening. During the
evening the store was thronged with
people and it is believed by the
officers that the robbers entered the
store with the crowds and remained
after the store was closed for the
night. Investigation proved that the
doors and windows had not been
tampered with.

Score of 33 to o

The Washburn High School
foot ball team went over to Ash
land last Saturday afternoon
where they played the Ashland
High School team. This was
the first game of the season for
the Washburn boys, many OF
whom are new to the game, and
they did not make much Of a
showing during the first half
against their heavier opponents.
A score of 33 to o was piled up
during this half During the
second half Washburn bucked
into the game and kept the other
side from scoring.
The Ashland team averaged 23
pounds to man heavier than
the local team and considering
their weight and the inexperience
of the local boys they put up a
good game. With a little more
practice they expect to be able
to show up better against this
team.
