COMMON LAW MARRIAGE HERE
Rusk County Couple Laughs at Eu-
genie Law and Saves Preach
er's Fee

Rusk county has now jumped into
the limelight with a common law
marriage, the new way to get spliced
without the inconvenience of a med
ical examination. as required by the
eugenic law and with the additional
saving of the minister's fee.
Howard L. Wallace, of Monroe
county, and Miss Grace Adell Gordon,
of the town of Hubbard, Rusk coun-
ty, are the principals in the marriage
contract, which was drawn up by JUS
tice w. S. Manning very much the
same as any other contract would be,
being witnessed by two persons, and
with even the consideration given, it
will be noted.
The agreement, which we repro
duce below, was filed in the office Of
the register of deeds, the couple then
being legally man and wife.

things as is commanded by the ordi-

Hire Buttermaker

The Ladysmith Cooperative Cream
cry Co. has hired G. P. Anderson, of
Shennington, Wis, as their butter
maker Mr.. Anderson comes with
the highest references, both as to his
ability as a buttermaker and as to
his honesty and integrity. The asso-
citation has been very fortunate in Sc
curing him, Judging from the testi-
monials of several former employers
and of the commission merchants to
whom he has shipped butter
Mr.. Anderson will be present at
the creamery meeting to be held
Saturday afternoon, which will give
him an excellent opportunity to get
acquainted with many of those who
will be dealing with the creamery.

SHOULD PRESERVE WILD LEE
WisccnSin's Fish, Game and Animal
Life One of Its Chief Re-
sources

Wisconsin, with its beautiful
game naturally abound, cannot be ex-
celled, if it's Wilful and unreasonable
| ldepletions are stopped. If every man
will spend a little time in studying
the fish and game laws with the view
Of getting the facts, he will readily
Sc tl2t every law was made with a
60 q intent, not for one locality only,
bu5 fer the most good for all of the
people Of the state 1t will be found
that ncst people that condemn one
certain section of the law have not
giyc2 it any study and are only
speaking from what some one told
them. Let's give each law a careful
study that effects our locality and by
" IT hing the results for the coming
Yer, we will then know what chang
es to make to attain the desired end.
In several parts, of the state, rod and
gun clubs are being formed with this
object in view. We must not condemn
all Of the laws because one certain
law does not conform with our own
personal views. We should remember
that each individual has as much
right as yourself. Coming down to
cold facts, every man, woman and
child should use every possible means
to assist in preserving not only the
fish and game for food, but the harm
less insect eating birds, that are
Wantonly killed in great numbers
Contrary to the belief of a great
many, the Fish and Game Depart
ment is not a burden on the tax
payer of the state, as the following
figures taken from the annual report
Of the State Fish and Game Warden
will show.

TOWER GOES BACK FIFTY FEET
Two of the Old Piers Are Con-
demned and Change is Made in
Location

The water tower goes back fifty
feet from the location first selected
This will take it back from such close
proximity to the street line and if
the foundation proves all right is
certainly much better site.
The change, which was made after
the city commissioners found it nee
essary to condemn the two front
foundation piers and the cap-stones
of the two rear piers on account OF
frost getting into them when they
were put in last December, will cost
the city nothing. The piers originally
intended as the rear ones will, with
new cap-stOnes, be used as the front
piers and two new rear piers will
feet the foundation for the rear piers
would be unsatisfactory unless piling
was put down, but H. w. True, who
was one of those who were strongly
opposed to the location of the tow
er so near the street line as the first
site, proposed to furnish the piling
and the labor required to put it
down without cost to the city, show
ing thereby a commendable public
spirit
His proposition was accepted anC
the piling is now being put down
The construction of the new piers
and the cap-stones for the other two
will be done by the DesMoines
Bridge & Iron Works, which concern
has the contract for the erection o1
the tower, including foundations, this
work also being done, of course, with
out cost to the city.
1t is expected that the erection O
the tower will proceed with no fur
ther interruption and in a short time
will be ready for use. This solution
of the difficulty will no doubt prov
satisfactory to both those who Wer
strenuously opposed to the location
of the tower so near the street an
those who thought no other Location
as suitable could be secured Withou
too great expense to the city. Putin
the tower clear out to the stree
line surely would not be defended b
anyone as adding to the appearance
of the street, while the Alden sit
was impractical from a financi;
standpoint.

CITY WINS BIC CASE
ANDREW BAUML SAYS HIS
cease" WAS A "FRAME-UP"
D0INGS IN CIRCUIT COURT
Seventeen Are Granted Citizenship
Out of Twenty-one Applicants

The February term of circuit court
has been in session at the court
house this week, Judge Wickham pre-
siding. Although the calendar was
small, the session will be about as
long as usual, due to the fact that
several of the cases have taken con-
siderable time Court may adjourn to-
night.
| There was only one criminal case
to be disposed of, that of the state
VS.. George Peeps and John Buck
Both plead guilty to forgery and
were sentenced to two years at Wau-
pun, but they were placed on proba
ton and sentence was suspended.
A decided sensation was sprung
Wednesday morning in the case of
Andrew Bauml VS.. the city of Lady
smith, when Mr.. Bauml went on the
stand and testified that the whole
case was a "frame-up' and that the
evidence" given by his witnesses
was for the most part entirely false.
This was suit against the city
for damages in the sum of $500 for
injuries received when Mr.. Bauml fell
on a sidewalk in this city about a
year ago, it being claimed that a
loose board in the walk flew up and
caused him to fall. Some color was
lent to his claims by the fact that
the walk was admittedly in poor con-
dition at that time, but an examina-
ton made by the city authorities i'm
mediately afterward disclosed no
loose board and convinced them that
the claim was false and that the ac-
cident could in no way be attributed
to any defect in the walk.
BaumPs case had been strongly
presented seven witnesses testifying
to the various points, but Bauml ev-
identity became conscience stricken
or Thompson that the whole case
was trumped up and the statements
of his witnesses false. Mr.. Bauml
was called to the stand Wednesday
morning by Atty. Kirwan and testi-
fled as follows:
@. Do you know A. G. Thompson?
A. Yes Sir.
@. Did you have a talk with him
in his store this morning?
A. Yes Sir.
@. And again up here at the court
house this morning?
A. Yes Sir
@. Did you tell Mr.. Thompson in
those talks you had with him this
morning, that what had been testi-
fled to here yesterday about your in
jury and the way it happened was
false?
A. Yes Sir.
@. Why did you tell him that?
A. | told him | had no sleep last
night and | said some words yeSter-
day that | ought not to have said,
and the way | heard all the witness
es on both sides, except the little
