Fight to be Waged Before
State Legislature
Men from Southern Part OF
the County Said to be
Back of Movement.

Rumor is current about the
county to the effect that an effort
will be made the coming winter
to have a bill passed by the Wis
consin Legislature to divide Bay
field county, forming a new
county out of the territory now
contained in the southern part of
Bayfield, county. 1t is said that
Mason will be made the county
seat. Prominent men from the
southern part of the county are
said to be back of the movement
and it is stated that they are
prepared to put up determined
fight to carry through their plans.
While Bayfield, county is one
of the largest counties in the
state, yet it is sparsely settled
and it would seem that this is a
very inopportune time to start
an agitation for it's division.
There is nothing to gain by
dividing the county while in
turn it would increase the eX-
pense for two sets of officials
would then have to do the work
which now is done by one. 1t
would add greatly to the taxes
in all localities without any
beneficial gain.
Taxpayers who have the
interests of Bayfield, county at
heart should put forth their best
efforts to defeat any measure of

Defeated by Ashland Naval
Militia Saturday Night
Carried off Honors During
first Half and Lost Game
by Narrow Margain.

"A pretty game Of basket ball
was played at the Opera House
in this city last Saturday evening
between the Ashland Naval
Militia team and the Washburn
City Team, the latter loosing out
by the score of 81 to "a.
During the first half of the
game the Washburn quintet out
played their opponents from
across the bay, the score being
IL to 10 in favor of Washburn.
Their hopes of victory were
shattered during the second half
when the Naval Militia bunch
took squirt and began piling up
a score which could not be over
come. The features of the game
were the long throwing by the
Ashland boys who succeeded in
making baskets when their goal
was unguarded.
A whole carry-all of rooters ac-
companied the Ashland boys and
the music of their two piece
orchestra helped to liven the
game and furnish amusement
for the audience.

For a Time Fire Threatened
Business District of
Bemidji.

The Emporium, a large dry
goods establishment located at
Bemidji, MINI. and owned by
Jake Segal, formerly of this city
was totally destroyed by fire last
Sunday morning. The following
account of the fire appeared in
the Duluth-News Tribune Mon
day.
Bemidji, Mimi, Jan. 31.-Fire
fighters after an all night battle
at the Segal Emporium succeeded
in getting the flames under
control at 6 o'clock this morning.
The heavy fire walls separating
the Segal store from the build
ings on either side prevented the
fire from spreading.
For a time the entire business
district of Bemidji was threaten
ed. The Segal store was in the
heart of the retail section on
Third street and had the flames
gotten into the adjoining stores
it would have been impossible
for the department. to stop them.
The loss on building and con-
tents was $4,000, of which
$4,000 was on the building and
$4,000 on stock. Both were
fully insured.
