SANDERS WINS I'M
FAST BOUT
Elmer Sanders Beats koxan In
Straight Falls


Last Wednesday evening in the Loyal
Theatre here Elmer Sanders, of Ashland
and "Young'' Kozan, OF Butternut, met in
bout al catch weights with Sanders the
heavier. kozan is the lightweight wrestler
of the world and contender for the welter-
weight title and he is very fast man as the
bout here demonstrated. 1t undoubtedly
was one of the fastest exhibitions of wrestl-
ing ever staged in these parts, and the fans
were highly pleased with it. The speed dis
played by Sanders was marvellous while Ka-
zan is considered by all as fast Mr.. Kazan
stated that he was surprised at the speed ex-
hibited by Sanders in their bout rs he was of
the opinion he was rather slow. The first
fall came in SO minutes of the very finest
kind of wrestling by scissors and hammer
lock and was won By. Sanders. In this bout
Elmer showed his true sportmanship as in
30 minutes of work he pinned Kazan to the
mat for fall, but refused TO allow the ref
cree to call it as one shoulder was off the

Jacoby failed to FIJI their expense account as
the law provides.
Whether Judge McCulIy's decision will
be appsaledsto the Circuit Coart or not il
remains to be seen.
1t is reported that Ellis Fisher, the Chair
man Of the Democratic County Committee
has written to the Attorney General at
Madison to learn if the committee has the
legal power to name new nominees in the
place of these who are thus left off the bal
lot. District Attorney Smith stated today
that in his Judgment, the Democratic Coun-
ty Committee had such power, and if the
Attorney General should so rule Chairman
Fisher and his associates will name other
Democrats for these nominees
1t would seem that the candidates are en-
tirely to-bame for the matter and in some
cases it looks as though some took these
means to have their names removed from
the ballot, but not so in Mr.. Jaeoby's case.
If this is the truth, in the matter, which we
are inclined to believe is so, then we say the
Democrat party has traitors in the ranks and
the quicker the are located the better and
thus prevent a repetition of this kind of work.

The Fair this fall was al. and more than
expected OF it in every way waich goes to
show that at last the Indian is becoming a
farmer in every sense of the word. Gi eat
rivalry was noticed in all entries. The first
day of the fair opened with nice weather
which continued throughout the fair, but
owing to some misunderstanding by the In
dians, no parade in costume was held.
Many conceived the idea that Commissioner
Sells prohibited the same which was not the
case and Supt. Everest, as usual, displayed
his good judgement and after visiting the
Indians personally secured the parade and
the second day opened in fine style. On
the second day of the fair, being Ashland
day, large attendance was had as the mills
closed down and our neighbors from Ash
land were here in droveS, the trains being
packed and string of autos mile long
were here. It was noticeable by all that
the fair this fall was distinct advancement
over the one of the previous year, although
that was good, and that the Indians are to
be reckoned within the farming industry in
this section. 1t is conceded by all who at
tended the fair this fall that If was far supe-
ror in every than the fair held at Ashland

last week. Of course it is well known
fact that the livestock, on exhibition was the
finest in the northwest and this part of the
fair sticks out and cannot be equalled any
wherein this section. The root crops show
the great value of our agricultural land and
that on this reservation lies the most fertile
lands to be found in Northern Wisconsin.
,The last day Of the fair was also as.big day
and the various sports were gone through as
advertised. Much credit is due the Fair
Association for the great interest displayed
in making the fair the success it was.
The Odanah boys were very fortunate
this year in their athletic sports, capturing
them all with ease. The ball game played
Wednesday with the Ashland team resulted
in an 8 to for our boys. VIM. Cadreau
distinguished himself by getting q strike
outs and not allowing one piss. "Caddy'
is certainly some pegger. On Thursday
our football team defeated the Ironwood
team by IL to score, while our Lacrosse
team captured the flag from Redcliff team,
who has had possession of it for years and
thus secured the championship ofthe North
west. Next week we publish complete
list of the prize winners at the fair Watch
for it.

mat. This is the kind of man that goes to
make the wrestling game the great sport it
is. The second fall came in Is minutes and
also was won by Sanders with hammer
lock and arm and scissors.
In the preliminary young Parthro, of
Ashland, defeated ssYoung'' Cardin, of this
village, Cardin with training will make a
good wrestler and undoubtedly would defeat
Parthro. The show on the whole was up
to minute and met the expectations of the
fans. More bouts of this charcter will be
staged here in the future.

Thos. Bardon and L. K.
Baker Pay Large Sums
ON THEIR MONIES INVESTED THRU0UT
Sis, 225 Is the Sum Paid This Year
by These Men

Income Tax Assessor, Landrairit has com+
pleted his final reports on the incomes OF
Ashland people for last year, and according
to this report Thomas Bardon has the larg-
est income OF any Ashland citizen with L.
K. Baker pressing him very closely for sec
ond place. .t.1
According to the figures of Mr.. Landraint,
Mr.. Bardon's income last year on lis var.
iouS investments amounted to S7S.296 this
beng has net income exclusive of everything
except of course his personal expenses. Mr..
Bakers net income for the same time
amounted to $72,S74.
Under the state income tax law tax is
levied on whatever the net income of indi-
vlduals amounts TO, and therefore the take
alone on Mr.. Bardon's income for the past
year figures up to S4, 332. Mr. Bakers tax
for this year on his income for the past year
will figure up to $4,007.
This is very material increase in the in
come taxes of these two men over the prev
ious years
Mr.. Landraint found that Mr.. Bakers in
come for the previous year was $34, 507 and
he paid tax on that a year ago amounting
to S1.7O9. Mr.. Bardon's income for the.
same time was $29,720, and his tax on his
income year ago figured up to 81, 41S 1t
can be seen therefore that the income of
these two men for the past year is over dou-
bic Of what it was the previous year.
w. l.. Peck paid one of the highest per-
sonal property taxes year ago. His tax a
year ago amounted to 81, ,206 on an income
of S26, 900 for that year. His tax this year,
however will be. only 1852 as Mr.. Landraint
found that his income for the past year was
1880.
According to Mr.. Landraint's figures the
total amount of the incomes of Ashland peo-
pie subject to taxation this year figured up
to $633, 900. This will make the tax on
this amount for this SIS, ,225. The total in
come tax last year for the incomes of people
living in the city of Ashland amounted to
$4,000 which is considerably less. (Ashland
