FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED
Bones OF Man Are Found in Burnt Camp
Near Gagen on Saturday.

The charred bones of an unknown
man were discovered about one-half
mile north of Gagen Saturday by
James Antoine, an Indian, who was
working in that vicinity.
The bones when discovered were
partly burnt and covered by two or
three half burnt logs.
| The skull was smashed on one side
and an axe found near by gave evil
dence that the man was a victim of
foul play. Part of vest was found
underneath the bones and fifteen
cents in one of the pockets, also a
piece of shirt or Jumper" usually
worn by lumberjacks.
The bones were discovered about
thirty rods off the highway, and from
their decomposed condition it is the
opinion of Coroner Decander that
they have been there about four
years.
ABOUT four years ago woodSman
named John Lund, who was working
at Gagen, mysteriously disappeared
ana the bones are believed to be his.
one night'when under the influence
OF liquor Lund made threat of going
back to Michigan, his former home,
and squealing on gang there, saying
that if he told the authorities what
he knew the whole bunch would go to
jail. Some two weeks later stranger
appeared in camp and persuaded Lund
to go to Crandon to work with him.
They left camp and since then moth
ing has been heard of either. Lunds
particular employment was in getting
out cedar. In this employment
special axe is used, and the axe found
near the bones is the same used and
carried by Lund. He also had q
months wages coming at the camp
when he left that were never called
for, an unusual thing for men of his
employment to do.
District Attorney A. ]. O'Melia,
Sheriff Chas. Asmundson and Coroner
Chas. Decanter made trip to Gagen
Sunday and short inquest was held.
The bones are being held by Coroner
Decanter, pending an investigation
Rhinelander News.
The following taken from the Mari
nette Eagle is probably a solution to
the mystery:
"The skeleton of an unknown man
was found few days ago at Gagen,
on Pine Lake, near Rhinelander. j.
e. Nelligan, prominent lumberman
of this city, is positive that the re-
mains were those of Alex. Ell Sliger
of Oconto, at one time a resident of
Marinette. He was foreman for the
Hiles Lumber company of Hiles, Wis,
and disappeared eight years ago.
He left one winters evening to
stake out new road. Nothing was
seen or heard of him after that al |
though a hundred men organized |
into searching party, secured the |
woods all over the vicinity where he
Gagen is not distant |
from where he was seen last and Mr.. |
Nelligan believes that he became lost |
and was overcome by the storm which |
took place that night and periShed."

NEW LAW ON PENSIONS.
Act by Congress Makes Increases
Easier.

In the closing days of the last con-
gress bill was passed and became
law that relieves pensioners of much
trouoie and still more worry. Under
the pension law passed in 1912, when
man reaches the age of 10 he is en-
titled to S25 and at the age of Is, TO
$50. But until the new law was en-
acted it was necessary for the pension
er to make new application when he
reached the age of 10 or IS, and fur
nish more or less proof. There were
instances where men were months in
finding the proof demanded by the
pension bureau.
Under the new law all of that is
done away with, but it is necessary,
when a man arrives at the age of 20
or 10, as the case may be, or lower
age which will call for an increase of
pension, for him to notify the bureau
that he has reached that age and give
such other data as would naturally be
required. But he will be at no ex-
pense. No affidayits are required; !;
simply written statement.
The pension department of the ad-
jutant generals Office, in the capitol
at Madison, has prepared a simple
blank which any pensioner can read
lily fill out, sign and return to Madi-
son, from which Office it will be for
warded promptly and receive prompt
action at Washington. The blanks
will be furnished to any pensioner
who desires to- use them when his
new birthday calls for an increase.
1t is better, after filling it out, to
return it TO the Madison pension de-
partment than to send direct to the
pension bureau at Washington No
charge is made by the pension depart
ment at Madison. In other words,
pensioners get their increase by the
expenditure of ceut stamp and the
making out of a simple blank. This
information should be impaired to
pensioners throughout the state

SHERIFF: DESTROYS A
LOT OF GOOD BOOZE

Moscow, May 21,-A quantity of
rich. red liquor. supposed to be
bootleg whiskey, was destroyed at
the court house by the officials in
the sheriff office this morning. The
stuff has been accumulating for near
ly a year and was ripe for destruc-
ton on account of having served its
purpose as evidence in bootlegging
cases. The consignment consisted
OF 81 full quarts and 20 pints and
nearly all of it had been seized by
the officers in the northern part of
the county. which is probably a
guarantee(?) of its quality. The
method of destruction was by break
ing the bottles. The official act of
destruction was Witnessed by men,
bers of the local w. c. T. u, who
were invited to be present.

A Surprise Party

Brady Gulch" is not noted for
its euphonic name but rather for the
integrity and uprightness of the
good people who call this beau
tiful place home. Many interesting
things in this community are of dai-
ly occurance, but, unfortunately for
the outside world, never find their
way into print.
The birthday of one of its most
highly respected citizens is, howev-
er. matter of too much importance
to be confined to the limits of the
aforesaid "Gulch. Mrs. c. c.
Blackburn had reached one of the
remote milestones in the journey of
life. Her neighbors decided to sur
prise her. Accordingly word was
quietly passed around and last Sum-
day everyone in the neighborhood
turned their steps toward the Black
burn home, carrying baskets with
contents carefully concealed.
The surprise for Mr.. and Mrs.
Blackburn was most complete. The
bountiful viands so neatly spread
upon extension and extended tables
made repast fit for a king. The
roll was called to which the Black
burns from Teakean. the Reids. the
Rabys, the Greens, the Comptons,
the Kneppers, the Hoyts, and the
Wilcoxes responded - forty-one ii
all. Of these, seventeen were
grandchildren of Mr.. and Mrs
Blackburn. twelve relatives. and the
rest just neighbors. The officia
photographer was present and die
his duty. All went away hoping
for many returns of the same happy
day to Mr.. and Mrs. Blackburn.

several of the farmers have express
ed desire for the market day to

If this kind of an affair meets
with the approval of the Farmers

their cooperation, and with this it
can be made one of the best little
fairs in the northwest. For in the
first place the products raised in
this part of the country have, in the
past few years, been carrying off all
the prizes where ever they have
been shown. Let everyone boost
