MISINTERPRETS LAW,
 PAYS HEAVY COSTS
Peter F. O'DonneII in Court for Vio- latiOn of Game Iaw-W. C.
 Norton Fined.

Misinterpreting the state game law proved costly for Peter F. O'Donnell, of Allen street who was before Judge John H. Kirkham in police curt this morning, charged with violating tl:e law. Judgment was suspended on the payment of costs, which in this case amounted to $19.06.
 The word inclusive" in the statute was the one which caused Mr. O'Don- nell trouble. He interpreted it to mean that October 7, the date men toned, was included as an open day for hunting whereas the law does not go off until October s. Last Thurs day morning Deputy Game Warden Smyrk met O'Donnell, who had shot five squirrels. MT. O'Donnell testi- fled that he argued with the warden over the interpretation of the law and Smyrk finally told him that he had not interpreted it that way before, but he guessed O'Donnell was right so he could go ahead and hunt.
 Smryk reported the matter to State Warden Pease and he had a warrant issued for O'Donnell's arrest.
 w. c. Norton of Berlin was fined $5 and cost for cruelty to a horse. His lawyer, H. P. Roche, stated the case to the court, explaining that the horse was a balky one and acted in such a manner that MT. Norton lost his temper. The horse balka avery time drivers are changed and such was the case last Saturday. Ake.ls- tant Prosecutor J. G. Woods agreed to a small fine.

B's Batch 81, Prisoners Taken 10
/ SuberiOr, Wis,

Us S. Deputy Marshal arrived I'M the
village the FIRST Of the week and secured a
large batch of offenders in this village for
the Introducing Of liquor on this reservation.
He took the prisoners to Superior, Wis,
on the afternoon train where they will be
given trial for the offense next Tuesday.
Those taken were; Pat Lagrew. Sam Roy,
Leo Olson, Frank Sharlow, Frank Prestil,
James Cajune, John Wa-ba-no-dine, James
Benecetic, Chas. Hashey and Frank Soulier.
We understand Attorney Frank B. Lamor-
ieux will defend several of the persons ar
rested. It is more truth than pottery that
if the department. is really in earnest in
their efforts itp suppress the liquor traffic
among the Indian that it should lend its aid
to the move for the holding of these terms
of court on the reservation and the sentence
imposed on the prisoners be thus turned
to the benefit OF the Indian in so far that
they be confined in the jais on the reseiva-
ton and made to work out their sentence
and TINS solve the road problem and the
fines thus paid could be used here also,

Walker End.
The Base Ball game between the Lodles
of Ashland and the Odanah League team
was a good exhibition of the National game
and was won by Odanah by the close score
of 4 to S. The only accident of the day
happened during the horse races, when Ed.
Walker was hit by horse at the finishing
line and was quite seriously hurt.
1t seems that Mr.. Walker was standing
with his little son on one side of the course
and the child seeing its mother on the op-
posite side ran across to where she was
standing. Mr. Walker noticing the abb
scence of the child rushed across the track
in search of him Just as the horses come
over the finish and hit him knocking him to
the ground and severely injuling him. 1t
was 4 miracle that Mr.. Walker escaped
being instantly killed and to quick thinking
of Frank James who rode one of the horses
in the rase and which was stopped by him
as 1t was about to jump on the prostrated
| man. Fine band music was furnished all
day and the celebration closed with one of
the best displays of fireworks ever shown in
this village. Now let us prepare for the
fair this fall, which we understand will be
the best ever given in Ashland County.
Join the booster club and aid in making the
GRAND success as planned.
