Evers, but he went further and told
the same facts to Messrs. BrittOn and
Higgins, who conspired to depose
Roger here.
The story goes that Immediately
after the close of last season Murphy
called Bresnahan into his wigwam and
asked him to accept the mana gership
of the Cubs. Murphy explained that
he had had enough of Evers, and wanted
a change. Bresnahan neither accepted
nor refused, but went to his Toledo
home to await developments. The first
intimation he received that Murphy
really intended to depose Evers was
when the announcement came out that
Hank ODay had been made manager.
Now Bresnahan, at a salary of $685.

Murphy's Action Surprises Roger
IL IL -::- II ~
Was Promised Managership, Claim
BY w. J. O'CoNxoR.

q T. LOUIS, No, Feb. 23.-If a seis-
mograph would register a brain
storm, one attached to the cere-
belIUm of Roger Bresnahan at the pres
ent time would require a strong needle
to resist the shock. The duke Of TraIee
is stOrming, and that rightfully.
Roger probably was the most sur
prised man in the Z. S. A. when the
announcement was made by Charley
Murphy that Hank O'Day would sue
coed Johnny Evers. Bresnahan had a
good reason for feeling perturbed. in
as much as Murphy gave him (Roger)
Evers's job last fall.
Indeed, Murphy not only informed
Bresnahan that he was to succeed

a wear. will remain on the Chicago
team as excess baggage
AIurphy's Proposal to Roger.
The details Of how Murphy offered
Bresnahan the job of manager are in
teresting. Roger was called into Muir
phys office
Il want you to manage my ball club
next year." Murphy began without pre-
liminaries. I've had enough Of Evers-
He made the mistake Of trying to man
age me and not the club. Now I'm
looking for a manager for the Cubs
because can take care of myself
That closed the incident according
to one OF Bresnahan's close personal
friends who has been let in" on the
deal Roger went to Toledo to hiber-
nate and was snOOzing peacefully when
he learned that Hank O'Day had ac-
quired the managerial reins.
Cant Explain Move.
Local fans are unable to explain
Murphy's latest move. When Murphy
paid Bresnahdn-after Roger was fired
here-a bonus of $4,000 and a salary
of $685. per season for signing a three
year contract. it was the consensus of
opinion that Bresnahap would succeed
EverS at any time that the Trojan fell
down. That Murphy liked Bresnahan
was evidenced when the owner over
ruled his manager early last season.
after Evers had benChed Roger and put
Tom Needham behind the bat. That
any one SlOuIQ select NeeQlam over
Bresnahan indicated the existence Of
a feud. Murphy, by long distance phone
from Chicago to Philadelphia, com
manded Evers to supplant Needham
with Bresnahap, and this the manager
did Thereafter relations between
Bresnahan and Evers were strained
although Roger remained entirely in
the background.
EyeTs's Men Didn't Like Him.
Evers was unpopular with his men
ana his fate was sealed from midsea-
son. Towards the close of the campaign
he was on speaking terms with very
few of his players. Bresnahan, on the
other hand, was popular with the men
and his ascension to the throne was
looked for by all the sharps.
Z =
Bresnahan has other reasons for feel
ing peevish. The fact that the National
league without solicitation, has taken
hand in the Evers-3Iurphy row sure
" makes Roger realize that he got
none the better Of the deal at the hands
Of the n. 7. mOguls when he was
timed. Bresnahan had more than n
players contract but he was rolled
beautifully out Of his berth and the
league made no great fight to see that
his contract was respected. But then
the federal league didn't exist at that
time.

Through the work of Roy Beebe
of this city, Madeline Island may
become famous for something else
besides it's climate and summer re
sort advantages, for movement
has now been started that will
develop into the making of Madel-
inc Island, one of the most famous
spots for the breeding of Guernsey
cattle in the United States.
AS breeders OF fine cattle all know
tho Guernseys come from the island
OF Guernsey between England and
France as for over 400 years ago no
cattle have been bred except to this
breed.
In view of the interest that is
being aroused in this section in the
raising Of pure bred cattle Mr.. Be- be
originated the idea of getting a
movement started so that every
dairy animal on Madeline Island d
should be Guernsey, and thus
make this island in time a noted
breeding place for this breed. Ash

A Big Mistake

In the last issue of The Times
in the advertisement of D. LIE.
Blanc, a serious mistake was
made when sugar was quoted at
% lbs. for 25c. This was a mis-.
take by the printers and gave
Mr.. Leblanc considerable trou
ole in correcting the statement
to persons who called at the
store to take advantage of the
exceptional offer. On Saturday
Mr.. Leblanc was quoting sugar
at q lbs. for CSC and this was
low enough without the printers
making mistake and reducing
it still further. Every week Mr.,
Leblanc has his advertisement
full of exceptional bargains and
it will pay all readers to look over
his advertisement weekly.

Was a Wild Storms

The weather of the past three
days has been anything e,se but
agreeable and there is no mis-
taking that April went out like
a lion. Monday morning at an
early hour the wind shi ifted
around to the northeast quarter
and for three days a regular
"northeaster" has had this
northern country in it's grip.
During Monday and Tuesday a
cold rain fell, accompanied by a
high wind, and the lake was
tossed into fury. No boats left
port during the two days. On
Wednesday molllipg the weather
turned colder and tile rain turned
to snow. An inch of snow fell
and soon after resting. upon the
ground melted rapidly.
The indications now are that
we will have more settled wealth
er from this time on.

Elects Officers at Meeting
Last Friday
Washburn Will Have Another
Good Ball Team the Com
ing Season.

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Washburn Base Ball Association
was held at the Commercial Club
rooms in this city on Friday evening
of last week. The first matter taken
up at the meeting was the election OF
officers for the ensuing year. The
following were elected:
President F. w. Downs
Secretary Clyde Estabrook
Treasurer P. Axelberg
Manager Burt Harrington.
A committee was appointed to
solicit the sale of shares of stock in
the association, the shares having
been placed at $3.50 each. It is
thought by making the shares small
everyone will take a hold and will
become members of the association.
The committee will report the sue
cess of their work at another meeting
to be held next Friday evening.
There is plenty of base ball ma
terial in the city to warrant us having
fine team here this season. The
boys are all anxious to form club
and with the backing of the associa-
ton we can have one of the best clubs
on the bay. Ashland and Bayfield,
will also have teams this season.

BILE but since the storm abated crew
of men have been at work rafting
logs to be brought to this city. This
mill will have full day run for the
season.
The Sprague mill in this city is
also waiting for logs. Mr.. Sprague
stated that the rafting of logs was
begun when the storm on the lake
ceased and as soon as there is assur-
ance that the logs will soon arrive
the mill will be started. The Sprague
company has some logs in their mill
slips but in order that the mill will
not have to close down awaiting logs
the plant will not start until the
other logs have been RATED and are
on their way to this city. 1t is ex-
pected that this mill will also start
the first of next week. The Sprague
company has a full seasons run.
With both of the mills operating
close to two hundred additional men
will be given employment and this
will mean that business in the city
will liven up considerable. This
ought to be one of the best seasons
Washburn has had for some time.

Nomination Confirmed by the
Senate Last Friday
Afternoon.

John O'Sullivan is to become the
next postmaster of the office in this
city, his nomination having been con-
firmed by the Senate of the United
States last Friday.
AS soon as the necessary papers
have been made out and his bonds
have been approved Mr.. O'Sullivan
will take over the Office in this city,
succeeding Nels Nelson whose term
of Office expires on June 1st.
For some time it has been known
that Mr.. O'Sullivan, who has been
life long democrat, was in line for
the Office in this city and the con-
firmation of his nomination was not
unexpected. Mr.. O'Sullivan is per-
haps one ofthe best known democrats
in Bayfield, county. At one time he
was sheriff of Bayfield, county, having
been elected on the Democratic
ticket. He also served as a member
of the city council for a number of
years.
The news of his confirmation will
be we'll received by democrats and
republicans alike and the people here
are glad to see him land the place.
AS yet Mr.. O'Sullivan has not
named his assistants in the office and
tits not likely that this will be done
until after he has received his COM
mission,
