superintendent of this district for the past
six years, was transferred and will have

superintendent is Rev. E. Kundert, who
has been pastor at Platteville for the past
three years. Plattevile is considered the
wealthest church in the district, and is also
one OF the strongest in point of membership
and efficiency. Rev. FL. L. Goodrich was
returned to Washburn and will have charge
of the church there and at Bayfield, for an
other year. This is pleasing to both cities
as he is very highly thought Of by all who
know him. Rev. HI. E. Goodsell, who has

The genial Dan Morrison was up from
Keshena, Wis. several days this week
visiting relatives and friends. His jovial
face is always sure cure for the blues.
Dan is in the government service at that
place in the ca2ability of government farm

is as good as Uncle Sam has in his employ.
The climate there must certainly agree with
Dan as he is looking in the pink of condi-
ton and hard as pals. His friends here, OF
which there are many, are always pleased to
see Dan.

Indian to take some smah part in move

of the Indian, especially when the Indian
himself starts such move. If they are,
let them rise in one compact body and petit

the cobwebs off their desks and get busy in
such cases and revoke the license of such a

means of removing blotch from the fair
name of the city,of Ashland.

John Pufali, OF Ashland,
Sells TO Minors,
WILL UNDOUBTEDLY Be ARRAIGHED
For Violation of State Law and for
Selling Liquor 60 .ndians

| In the case of the two Couture bows last
Monday in Judge Obern's court in this vii
| lage it was brought out that John Pufai, a
saloon keeper, sold liquor to minor boys on
Labor Day in Ashland and an affidavit we
understand has been made verifying the
| statement. George Couture, minor Indi-
all boy, testified that he along with two
others purchased Intoxicating beverages in
| that place Labor Day and as a consequence
became drunk. This is one of number of
similar cases and the hardship it imposes OF
the way of paying fines, etc., is enormous,
1t is high time that the government auth
critics took hand in matters of this kind
and closed up such places as they are not
only detriment to the fair city of Ashland
but to this reservation and it is time that the
officials of Ashland also lent their aid to the
movement by seeing that any saloon within
| the boundary of their city were deprived of
their license when proven that such cases as
the above had taken place there 1t is only
fair to this reservation that the business men
lend their aid in the suppressing of such
places in their midst and the saloon men of
Ashland should take heed that violations of
| this character will end only in the closing
up of every saloon in Ashland, for they are
operating on Indian ceded territory and as
this territory is not as vet paid for, it is Ins5
I characterization land and subject to the laws
governing Indian reservations. A new era
is just dawning among the Indians of this
territory and they are banding together for
the protection of themselves against the evil
of liquor and the suppression of the sale of
same to Indians and lodge recently formed
here with that end in view is now in a
hourshing condition and boosts member
ship of forty of the leading men of the tribe
and as we understand it this case as above
referred to, will be their first move to put
an end to such practice and it will shortly
be taken up with the department at Wash
ington, D. c. to ascertain how far they can
go looking to the end of entirely closing
these kind of places on Indian lands The
saloon men OF Ashland in years past have
had troubles of this character many times
and have escaped with small fines and re-
turned home and keep on the same course,
but from now on they will find that through
the misteeds of such places as John Pufall's
they are placed in bad predictment. In
the past the Indian has been made to suffer
for the wrongs of such places, but IN the
future the saloon-keeper will find that the
Indian no longer intends to suffer entirely
alone and if pressure can be brought to bear

Evident, Despite Parents

Was Accidental.

Fargo, n. d., Dec. 19.-Dr. L. w.
Humphrey, who examined the body
of Paul Hucbner few hours after 1t
was found in tho ravine near Ninth
street and Second avenue north, states
that there were no bruises or marks
whatever on the body to show how
the boys neck had been broken.
According to those who found the
body, however. there was small
lump of earth on the back Of the boy S
neck when they picked him up, indi-
eating that that spot had received the
shock of the fall. which was not neces-
sarily hard enough to leave a bruise.
This strengthens the belief that the
lad simply slipped while making a
short cut across the ravine, and fall
ing. struck his neck in such way as
to break it, dying instantly.
