Haymaker of Defiance, Ohio, have

two companies, as preliminary ar
rangement to buying the local Bell
exchange.
AS soon as final arrangements are
completed and the exchanges cut over
and connected, Ashland will have a
single telephone system.

Washburn and Ashland Even
Honors Sunday
The Score was Tied in the
Ninth Frame and was Won
in the Eleventh.

The Washburn base ball team de-
feated Ashland in the opening game
of the season played on the grounds
in this city last Sunday afternoon,
thereby evening up honors for the
two teams. In the game played last
Sunday the Ashland team won.
Young Packard was on the mound
for the Washburn team and held the
visitors down to but few hits. At
times he was given rather ragged
support by the rest of his team, but
during the latter part of the game
there was rally and the team nosed
out victory.
During the early part of the game
the Ashland boys gained lead which
seemed hard to overcome and at the
end of the eighth inning wanted to
quit the field in order to catch the
boat for Ashland. The locals insisted
that the game be finished and during
their half of the ninth inning run in
four scores which tied the game.
During the tenth inning both teams
were blanked. Ashland again failed
to score during their half of the
eleventh inning.
When Washburn's turn came to
bat the ball was pounded for two hits
when Billerbeck succeeded Anderson
as pitcher. With two men on bases
Estabrook came up to bat and the
first bali over was bunted along the
first base line and two men scored,
winning the game.
Washburn outplayed the visitors
during the game but luck seemed to
be against them until the last half of
the game.
This season Washburn is playing
an all-home team and there seems to
be general satisfaction with the
arrangement.

Last Thursday was the birth
day of Miss Macdonald, the
popular teacher of the Long
Lake school.
After supper the Bogenrief
girls invited Miss Macdonald
out for a walk, which was pro-
longed enough to allow sixty of
Aor II ass's to congregate at the
house. aer surprise on return
ing may be better imagined than
described. A pleasant social
evening followed and refresh
ments consisting of ice cream
and cake.
During the evening G. F.
Bongenrief as mem Der of the
school board and in behalf OF
those present, in brief speech
presented Miss Macdonald with
a pretty token of good will from
her Long Lake friends, to which
she very feelingly responded.
Miss Mac Donald is one of
Bayfield, county's most success.
full rural teachers. This is evil
dent from the fact that she has
been offered a position in one OF
the most highly graded schools
in the state. While her Long
Lake friends are selfishly very
desirous Of retaining her in their
school. yet they rejoice with her
in the advanced position she has
secured. She will take a position
in a Neillsville school the coming
year.

hour the jury returned a verdict OF
guilty of assault. Conlin has been
sentenced to serve sixty days in the

WIND STORM DOES
HEAVY DAMAGE
Both Saw Mills Put Out of
Commission Monday
Wind Blows Down Mill Smoke
Stacks and Breaks a Num-
Der of Windows.

A wind storm of cyclonic violence
swept over the city shortly after six
clock Monday evening, doing dam
age to the extent of several thousand
dollars and put both saw mills out OF
commission for some time.
The day had been hot and sultry.
During the afternoon storm began
gathering in the west and shortly
after six clock il broke over the
city. The heaviest part of the storm
struck down in the milling district OF
the city where the heaviest damage
was done to the mill property.
The Stearns mill property was the
first in the path of the storm.
| The two smoke stacks were blown
down, one falling over the roof of
the mill and the other falling on the
roof over the lumber sorting chain,
doing heavy damage. The tram
Heading from the mill to the piling
dock was also demolished and much
lumber was carried from the lumber
piles out into the lake. After the
falling of the smoke stack fire broke
out at the mill but this was soon put
out by the men around the mill.
The storm then swept over the
mill pond and hit the mill of the
Sprague Lumber company. This
smoke stack was also toppled over.
The end of the roof of the mill was
torn off as was also the roof over the
filing room. The roof was carried a
distance of more than one hundred
feet.
After leaving the mill district the
storm then swept over the city. The
plate glass windows in the Holte and
Hansen saloons and in the Corning
grocery store were smashed in while
the Ungrodt machinery shed was
twisted out of shape. The chimney
on the Holte residence on west Pine
street was snapped off at the roof and
a number of small outbuildings were
toppled over. Many shade trees
were ruined. The telephone and
light companies suffered quite heavily
in wires torn down.
While the storm was at its worst
the fire alarm sounded and the de-
partment was called out to three fires
| in quick succession. The first call
was for the fire in the Holte resi-
dence, the second alarm was for a
fire in the timbers across the 9th
avenue ravine and the third was for
the fire at the Stearns mill. Very
little damage was done by fire.
The city was in darkness during
the night as result of the crossing
of the lines between here and Ash
land. The damage was repaired the
following day.
The saw mills will be out of COM
mission until the smoke stacks can be
put up again. Much new material
for the stacks will have to be pur-
chased. 1t is expected that the
Sprague mill will be operating with

more than thirty minutes. The lain
was driven in sheets but was not
heavy. 4
