W.l. CONWAY EX.
CE[[ENT JUDGE

County Judge ". J. Conway, whose
nomination papers for reelection
We're recently signed by hundreds of
voters in this city, has made an ex-
eeptionally fine record as judge since
he has held the office, never having
had a case, which he had decided, re
Yersed by a higher court This is
record made by few judges in the
state and shows that Judge Con-
way has always given his cases the
earnest consideration of a capable
Judge. His ability is unquesitoned,
and all Of the lawyers of the coun-
" as far as we know who appear be-
fore him in probate matters, have
signed his papers and urge his re
election to the office. The county
Judges of the state hold Judge Con-
way in the highest esteem, having
twice elected him president of their
state association, an honor seldom
conferred upon a member, and this
has done much to bring Wood county
into prominence.
The office is an important one, it
being necessary for the Judge to
have years of experience, as he has
the administration OF all estates of
deceased persons of this county, and
also much of the work formerly done
by the Circuit Judge. The past ex-
perience of Mr.. Conway in this line
of work has especially fitted him for
this position, and he should receive
the vote of every voter in the county
at the coming spring election. Judge
Conway will probably be the only cam
didate in the field for the office, asl
his past record certainly entities him
to reelection without opposition, and
We hope to see him receive the solid
vote of the electors of Wood county,

write up a Tomahawk basket bal
game, how long viii it take a dill pi'
Ike to climb up a sour apple tres?
The last issue Of the TorlanaWk
(Wis.), Tomahawk contains what pur
ports to be an account of tie same
played between the Rapids basketball
team and the Hatchst outfit from
Tomahawk. AS a hatchet closely re
sembleS a hammer the word is very
appropriate in this instance. 1t took
| two to write this account and Meth
er seemed to know much about the
game, but were awfuIIy sore.
After a long noise and the state
ment that the first half ended with
d score of y to in favor OF Toma-
hawk, the account" goes on TO say,
The second half started after ten
minutes intermission. Gee but there
is some news to followers OF the
game. Grand Rapids CT Baiiauf
came back strong in the second
half according to the two who tried
to write up the game, the TomahawB
players '1ooped some of their faY-
orite baskets" and by making free
throws brought the score to 20 to
13 in favor OF the hatchets. Grand
Rapids made two field baskets and
the score was 20 to IL. They admit
that the Rapids players made some
field baskets, but it appears from
their write up" that the Rapids team
was not entitled to any free throws.
1t is also evident from the story told
by the hatchets that they do not OBJ
serve the rules regarding the ball
going out of bounds. Baldauf'sI S ruling
regarding the enforcing of this rule
seems to have nettJed the hatchets.
Now, after claiming about ten reasons
why the Rapids won and all of those
reasons were fouls which should not
nave been allowed, and all this noise
after the score was 20 to II iI faV
or of TOmahaWk, the TOmahaWi1 re-
feree, Fuller (who is evidently new
at the business) and Professor l. C.
Johnson protested the game to Ap-
pleton and the game was to be (by
them) considered a 20 to 20 tie I'M
til settled by the Appleton authorities.
If the Rapids points were all made
on questionable fouls after the score
stood 20 to II in favor of Tomahawk,
why didn't the Tomahawk officials
claim that as the score? The Rapids
had II fouls called on its players,
which ought to be enough to salts
fy the hatchets. The whole truth of
the matter is that during the first
half, Fuller refereed and did not
know his business and as soon as a
man who did know the game went
in it was all off with the hatchets
-hencet the knocking.
There is no question at all regard
ing the comparative merits of the
two teams Grand Rapids can, with
ease, win from the Ton1ahawk team

FIRE At SOUTH
SIDE MILL

The fire at the South Side mill Fri
day afternoon resulted in damaging g
pulp to between 5000 and $500. 1t
took the firemen almost two hours
10 get the fire out. The fire was a
difficult one to get at as the mass
OF pulp was frozen solidly together.
Two streams Of water were played on
the fire The nozzles were taken
off the hose and the firemen directed
the streams down the cracks between
the piles. In this way the fire was
finally .extinguished. The fire en-
gine was placed on the ice just in
front Of the Golfer dam.
The fire originated from a blast
of dynamite which had been fired in
an effort to loosen the pulp so that
it could be loaded on cars. There
was no insurance on the pulp.

SERIOUSLY
INJURED

Willus Snyder, a married man with
a wife and five children, who has
been employed by Consolidated w. p
& Paper Co., met with serious
accident Monday morning, about nine
O'Clock. Recently he was employed
handling dynamite and discharging
the same for the purpose Of loosen
in a large pile of pulp that has
been stored in the yards. Monday
morning while thus employed his foot
ing gave, away and he fell off the
pile a distance of about twenty feet,
and fractured one of the verte brae
of his back bone, which caused par
alysis of both of his lower limbs. He
was taken to his home and his fam
lily physician called. Just what the
outcome will be is hard to tell but
it is hoped that Mr.. Snyder will re-
cover the use of his lower limbs. The
accident was an unfortunate one.

upon one whom We love. We picture
death as coming to destroy; let us
rather picture Christ as coming to
save We think of death as ending;
let us rather think of life as, begin

think of losing; let us think CT gain

think of meeting. We think of go
