Many Residences Entered
During Past Two Weeks
City Officers Seem to be I'm

Situation.

The unusual number of burg
laries perpetrated in the city
during the past two or three
weeks, especially in the resi-
dence section of the city, is
beginning to "get on the nerves.
of the people and there is a de-
mand that extra efforts be put
forth by the police department
and the sheriff's force to appre-
hend the Individual who has been
perpetrating this series of crimes.
There is hardly a section of
the city that has not been visited
during the past two or three
weeks and every day brings new
evidence of the visit of the burg
lar. On Monday evening the
home of L. N. Clausen on Wash
ington avenue was entered while
Mr.. Clausen and daughter were
at the show. Entrance to the
building was gained by the burg
lar who used a ladder taken from
the residence of George Moore.
The ladder was found standing
against the Clausen residence
Tuesday morning and a search
of the home revealed the theft
of twenty dollars and a gold
watch bracelet. The night be-
fore a resident of west 4th street
reported the loss of a flock of
twenty chickens and dozens of
other persons have reported at
tempts to break into their resi-
dences during the night time.
The work seems to be that of
some person residing in the city
and it would seem that the work
of apprehending the person
would be an easy matter for the
combined police and sheriff force.
This paper has refrained from
making mention of any of these
burglaries during the past two
or three weeks in order TO give
the officers an opportunity to
capture the person or persons
committing the crimes-but so
far, at least, their efforts seem
to have been futile. The people
now want results.

When the saloons went out OF

soft drink parlors were opened
up in the city and beer substitutes
were handled by nearly all OF
these places. The men say that
it was their impression that the
drinks were all right and that
they were not violating the law

1t has since been learned that
these drinks did contain alcohol
and all of these places have now
ceased to handle them.

KenfeId - Lamoreaux Co.
Building Addition
Will Make Their Plant in
This City More Complete
Than Ever.

Last Friday the Kenfield-Lam-
oreaux company of this city put
crew of men to work building
a large dry kiln which will be
used in connection with their
box factory plant in this city.
The new kiln is to be % x 120
feet in size and will be a frame
building. The kiln will be located
at the north side of the present
kiln at the end of the saw mill
plant. There will be over three
miles of steam pipes in the new
kiln and the exhaust steam from
the engine will be used for dry
out the lumber. Transfer tracks
will be build leading from the
saw mill plant to the new kiln
and from the kiln to the factory,
thus doing away with teams in
the transfer of lumber from the
mill to the factory.
1t is expected that the
new dry kiln will be completed
in the course of six or seven
weeks and will be ready for
business by the middle part Of
November.
During the past few years the
Kenfeld Lamoreaux company
have been adding to their
factory and saw mill from time
to time and today they have
fine plant in this city. The COM
pany is one of the substantial
ones of the city, giving employ
ment to a large number of hands
the year around. The people in
this city wish they had more
plants like the one of the Ken
field Lamoreaux company.

Apportionment of Highway
Work for 1915 Will be Made
at This Time.

A call has been issued for a
special meeting of the County
Board of Bayfield, county to be
held at the Court House in this
city on Tuesday of next week.
The purpose of the meeting is
the apportionment of the road
work on the county system of
highways for 1915 in order to get
state aid on this work.
1t is understood that good big
scrap will be made on road
matters at this session. A num-
Der of the members Of the board
will introduce resolutions not to
accept further state aid in Bay
field county. The members feel
that in order to get state aid the
county has to appropriate too
large a sum eacn year and that
by doing away with state aid a
much smaller sum can be levied
and money can be expended in
the manner and in the towns
where the board feel that it is
most needed.
Under the state aid law the
roads must be built according to
the specifications of the State
Highway Commission and while
it gives the county fine roads, yet
some of the members feel that it
is expending too aHch money in
certain spots.

Charles Moss in this city will be

lndianola, Iowa, September 18th.
For a time Mrs. Moss lived in
this city with her husband, Mr..
Moss being employed as a jewel
er in the store of Mrs. N. j.
Nelson. After leaving this city
the family moved to Crookston
where Mr.. Moss was engaged in
the optical business. 1t was
while at Crookston that Mrs.
Moss contracted the illness which
ended in her death. While resi-
dents of this city the couple made
a large number of warm friends
who extend their sympathies to
Mr.. Moss in his sad bereave-
ment.
The following item is taken
from the Indianola, Iowa paper:
Cleora Belle Moss, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. B. McMillen of
this city, was born at Boonsboro,
Iowa, on January 9th, 1885 and
died at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Edd Ross, Saturday, Sept.

She completed her education at
Simpson College and was married
to Chas. w. Moss on June 10th,
1908. They resided at Cherokee,
Iowa, for a time and then moved
to Crookston, MINI. where Mrs.
Moss health soon began to fail and
they returned to Indianolo where
they have been living for the
past few months with Mr.. and
Mrs. McMillen.
Mrs. Moss made profession of
faith in Christ at an early age
and with her parents united with
the First Presbyterian church of
Indianola. On moving to Chero-
kee she took her church letter
and later put it in the Methodist
church at Crookston, MINI.
Her sweet disposition won her
many lasting friends and she will
be greatly missed by all who
knew her.
Silently she passed away,
Forever from our midst to stay,
Unto that land, great joy to
find,
With grief and sorrow left be-

For Selling Tobacco to
School Children
We're Arrested on Complaint
of School Superintendent
Tobias A. Chew.

The selling Of tobacco and
cigarettes to school children does
not seem to be a very profitable
business, at least three local
dealers have found this out to
their sorrow during the past
week.
Last Saturday three dealers,
William Goedeke, John Joanis
and Tony Pellizs were arrested
on complaint of school Superin-
tendent Tobias A. Chew, for
having sold tobacco to school
children under sixteen years of
age and the cases were called
for trial last Saturday afternoon
in Judge A. M. Warden's court.
The three appeared before the
court without attorneys and
after having the law explained
to them decided to pay fines
rather than stand trial. Fines
and costs amounting to $11.20 in
in each case were assessed.
Mr.. Goedeke stated to the
court that he had sold tobacco to
a minor on the supposition that
it was for the lads parent.
Mr.. Joanis was confronted with
children who stated that they
had procured cigarettes at his
lplace 1t was afterwards learned
frat NJ. Joanis had not sold the
cigarettes but that they had been
sold from his place of business by
a young lad whom he had left in
charge during a short absence.
Mr.. Joanis has been endeavoring
to conduct a clean place and has
endeavored to abide by the law
in all respects. He was very
sorry the occurance happened sc
he explained to the court.
Tony Pellizs was confronted
with several children who claimed
to have purchased cigarettes from
him.
The Judge lectured each OF
the dealers against the selling OF
cigarettes or tobacco to minors,
promising more severe penalty
for the next offense. In like
manner he lectured the children
for smoking tobacco or cigarettes
and told them that they could be
arrested and fined for the offense.
The Municipal Court room
was crowded with a large num-
Der of women who were present
for the purpose of seeing that
the laws in regard to the sale of
tobacco and cigarettes to children
are lived up to. Mr.. Chew, who
made the complaint, says he in
intends to see that school child
rem are not permitted to buy
cigarettes or tobacco in the city
and in his efforts to stop this evil
he will have the backing of all
right thinking people.

Washburn Times,
Editor:
Will you permit me through the
columns of your paper to speak few
words of commentator to those per-
sons who are responsible for the i'm
proved condition of the streets OF
Washburn this year?
During the past six summers | have
delivered farm produce around in
different parts of the city once a
week and this summer there has been
very marked difference in the ap-
pearance of the streets. Weeds have
been cut instead of allowing them to
go to seed. Also in many places
flowers have been planted along walks
so that Washburn now presents the
neatest appearance that it has in six
years at least. May the good work
continue. Yours for a cleaner and
better Washburn.
