Meeting to be Held at SUI
perior Tomorrow to Talk
Over Proposed Roads.

=
A delegation of fourteen prominent
residents of Bayfield, County will go
to Superior tomorrow to confer with
the members of the Superior Auto
mobile Club and other good roads
boosters relative to the construction
of a highway connecting Superior
with Bayfield,, Washburn and Ash
land and other Chequamegon Bay
points,
The following is a list of those from
this county invited to attend the
good roads conference: d. M.
Maxcy, N. M. Oscar, William Olson,
Geo. Fox, A. w. Mcleod, John
Walsh, George Morgan and H. C..
Rehm, Washburn; III. J. Wachs-
muth, A. III. Wilkinson, HI. C. Hale,

Dillon. George Foster of Mellen and
State Highway Engineer A. R. Hirst
are also expected to be present.
Portions of the proposed highway
across Douglas and Bayfield, counties
are already completed. A good
road runs east from Superior for a
considerable distance, and Bayfield,
county has an excellent road extend
ing almost to the Douglas county
line. Most of the connecting link
would be within the limits of Doug
las county, and it is hoped that as q
result of the conference. on Friday,
the Douglas county board will
authorize County Road Commissioner
Morisset to commence work on re-
quired roads.
In addition to opening a highway
between the two centers of popula-
ton in the northern section of Wis
consin, the road would serve a rich
and rapidly growing portion of Doug
las county which is in great need OF
better roads.

TO SELL MATERIAL
WHD WERE THE DESIGNERS2

The third of the series of articles
on Municipal Affairs we have headed
The Tin House and has to dc
with the building that was erected
during the summer of 1919 at the
cemetary grounds. The committee
in charge of this work is the commit
tee of the Common Council known as
the committee on Charities and Gene
tary Grounds composed Of Andrew
Peterson, chairman, Nels Martinson
and George Fluck.
Unlike the last deal, this commit
tee has authority from council to &C
ahead with the work. At the 'meet-
ing held on May 7th, 1919 the Com
mittee on Charities recommended that
a building be built lat the cemetary
and that other Improvements be
made on the grounds and asked that
an appropriation of S50O.oO be made
for that purpose. A motion to the
effect that the recommendation OF
the committee be adopted and the a
mount of $5OO.OO be appropriated
was carried unanimously.
We were heartily in accord with
| the council in appropriating this sum
of money to be expended for the a
bove purpose for we thought that
some place should be fitted up for
the use of people going to visit
the graves of the departed, a place
where they could rest and also 6
place of shelter in case of storm
Taxpayers generally favored the ides
of building the building and we have
only the greatest praise for the coun'
ell: members for favoring suchIa recon-
mendation.
This committee started the worl
during the summer months and the
last expenditure we find on the
records is for So 90, paid during the
month of January and being fol
labor.
This building has cost $393.24 t
complete and equip, of that amount
$197 SO was paid to Nels Martinsor
and George Fluck, members of the
committee in charge of the work
$1O5.9O going to Mr.. Martinson fol
labor and $1,000 going to Mr.. Fluck
for material.

Mr.: Beers stated that a new

RENO WOMAN AWARDED
GENEROUS CASH HEART BALM

Miss Anna Mcdonald of Reno was
given a judgment of $4,000 in her
action for breach of promise against
W. L. Hacker. a decision in the case
having Just been filed by Judge Cole
L. Harwood. The decision is brief
ard is as follows.
The evidence in this case salts
flies me that the plaintiff is entitl-
ed TO recover for the breach of de-
PENDANTS promise t o marry, alleged
in the complaint.
The damages in these cases are
based upon the actual loss sustained
by way of special damage and for the
loss of the marriage, that Is, the
financial benefit to accrue, and also
for the humiliation and suffering sus-
tanned. Under all the evidence in
this case | am of the opinion that the
plaintiff is entitled TO recover the
sum of $4,000. and judgment will be
entered accordingly with costs to the
plaintiff. The plaintiffs attorney
will prepare findings and decree in
accordance with the decision and
serve notice of settlement thereof up
on the attorney for the defendant.

District Judge
Dated June 10. 1913.
The case was argued and submit
ted Monday and the decision was ill
ed late Tuesday. A portion of Mon
day was taken up with lebuttal tes-
timony given BY the plaintiff. Miss
Mcdonald took the stand and gave
testimony that materially strength
ened her case. She denied the state.
ments made by Hacker that she had
threatened TO shoot him and testified
that she had never carried a revolver
in her life. She also told the courl
how she came into the possession o.
certain letters formerly in the pos
session of Hacker and which he de
scribed as love missives."
