CLIF. v. BLUETT
POPULAR MAN
FOR SHERIFF

Wood county wants efficient men
to fill it's various offices and men,
who are entitled and deserve such
recognition. Clf w. BIuett, as under
sheriff the past term has proven his
fitness for the place. With the excep-
ton, possibly, of Julien Welch, he
is without doubt the best man to
ferrit out criminals and run them
down of any man who has ever fill
ed that office before. Such men are
the kind that Wood county wants to
fill the office Of sheriff. They save
the county money by the faithful
discharge Of their duties and acting
in conjunction with the District At
torney. You are not experimenting
with Cliff Bluet, if he fills the office.

The jury in the case of G. A De
Bolt against the Town OF Cary, came
IN at 5:45 O'Clock Wednesday, Oct.
Ia. after ebing out three hours.and

Charles E. Briere appeared for the
town of Cary and T. W. Brazeau and
Hugh Goggins appeared for the
