INDIANS TRY To
STEAL BEER

Three Indians entered a west
side wet goods emporium Yes
terday afternoon and tried to
ger the proprietor to break the
state law and sell them some
liquor. The bar tender was wise
and wouldn'tlet the Indians
have anything to drink. While
two of the Indians were arguing
with the bar tender. one OF
them slipped behind the ice box
and took three bottles of beer,
secreting them under his coat.
The Indian with the beer.
started for the door and accid-
emily dropped one of the bottles
of beer on the floor. The bar
lender had him by the collar in a
jitfy and took the othertwo
bottles away from him. nothing
was done about the matter
that the Indians made
a hasty exit from that saloon.

COUNTY BOARD
IN SESSION

The county board vas called to or.
der at = O'Clock Tuesday afternoon by
chairman J f Seidl All the super
visors were present.
The board Immediately got to work
and the bills were read and referred
to the proper committees. The treas
urers and district attorneys reports
were read and taken care of.
The election and setting Of salaries
for the county highway commissioner
the state aid committee and the truss
tee for the asylum will take place on
Friday morning.
The matter of securing convict lab
or for highway work was brought up
and started a long discussion. Some
favored it as the state took the con-
tract and furnished the men, looked
after them all for 81. 80 day. Objec-
tions we're raised to the use of convict
labor as the work in Wood County is
done in scattered localities and only a
few men are employed in each piece
of work Another obi ctiOn was that
hiring convict labor took the money
away, kept local men out of employ
ment and even cast slur on the work
men of this section. As one Supervis-
or put it. there are lots of men glad
to work and the hiring of convict lab
or put a premium on being q convict
and some men might geU the idea
that the only way to get employment
was by being an inmate of the state
prison.

OVERWHELMING
VOTE FOR BRIDGE
At NEkOOSA
villagers Show That They Mean
Business and Are Going To
Have Bridge

BY a vote of 2O2 to 25, the citi
zens of Nekoosa decided that
they wanted the bridge built.
This vote was taken to correct
defects in the previous authorize
ton of the issuing of bonds for
this work.
The citizens also voted 2O7 to
20 to provide $4,000 for state
highway purposes. This will
mean the continuance of the
state highway through the busi-
ness section of Nekoosa. This
highway has already been built
from the pavilion to the main
street,
Nekoosa is alive to her posi-
ton as first class town and the
voters have shown that they
mean business, that they are pro
gressive and intend to bring Ne
koosa up to a high standard
and set an example for other
towns in this section.
The Overwhelming majority is
positive proof that the citizens
know what they want, and know
ing what they want, they are go
ing to get it. Progressiveness
and a spirit of being live wires
and and a desire to be right up
with the world was shown by
the vote. The objectors to the
bridge should see the hand writ
ing on the wall and turn around
and boost with the majority for
a better and bigger Nekoosa.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-The Temps prints
a dispatch from its correspondent at
SaloniBi which says:
''The Bulgarian premier has made
representations to the Greek minister
at Sofia protesting against the hospi-
tality given the allied troops by the
Greek government. He has emphasi-
zed a warning to the Athens govern
ment that it cannot hold the Bulgar

quences,"
As a possible indication Of the Ger

from Berne:

ic circles that as soon as a complete
junction of the German and Bulgarian
forces is effected it is the intention of
the invaders to march on Saloniki and

That the club intends to look

they put themselves at the dis
posal of school organizations

One of the very pleasing fea-

the presentation of the play
"Hiawatha" by pupils of the
grade schools of the hustling vii

to much older actors and actress

The First Friday in each

some form of entertainment pro-
vided.
Last evening there were over
500 people in attendance at the
performance given by the pupils

After the entertainment was
