several of The arn>s> living II
the territory adicrnt to the
city have had notices inserted
in the local papers rorbiddine
trespassers on their lands and
LII have stated about the same
reason for taking this action,
that is that their property was
being destroyed by the parties
going unto their lands. Not
only do the people tear down
fences and ruin garden patches
and growing grains--but they
have gone further and have
killed chickens and other stock
about the farm.
This week one farmer tells
about crowd of boys chasing
one of his fine peahens ana
beating her with clubs until sh,
died. The hen was one that
was priced a good deal and the
owner intends to look up the
guilty parties and have them
prosecuted.
The destruction of farm
property seems to be by child
rem of the city on their way to
the berry patches and not by
the older people but all have
been forbidden the right to
trespass upon the farm property
because of the action of few.
Parents who have children go

From every corner of the coun-
ty comes the promise of support

men in every walk of life, repre-

farmers, laboring classes and
others, and the indications are
that he will be given handsome
endorsement at the polls on

The people of the county have
always found him to be careful

A Strong Endorsement

Perhaps one of the strongest
endorsements that has ever been
given a candidate for county
office in Bayfield, county has been
given Nels M. Oscar of this city
who seeks the nomination again
on the Republican ticket.
This endorsement comes from
the members Of the county board
who have some idea of the work
connected with the office and the
necessary qualifications of the
man seeking the place. Almost
to a man these men located in all
parts of the county have come
forward with their endorsement
of Mr.. Oscars candidacy in the
present campaign and a promise
of support that will give him
the big majority that he is en-
titled in the present campaign
for the nomination.
During the time Mr.. Oscar has
been County Clerk of Bayfield,
county he has. kept progress
with the work of the Office and
has become valuable man to
the county through his extensive
knowledge of county affairs. The
members of the County Board
realize this and almost to a man
have given him their endorse

The boys who were arrested
