Will Try for Seal Sale
Pennant
Will Strive to Make Campaign
Record breaker in the Anti
tuberculosis Fight.

Will Wisconsin win the pen
nant offered by the National
Association for the study and
Prevention of tuberculosis to
the state making the highest per
capita sale of seals?
For years Wisconsin has been
a leader in the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals, the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis Association
being entirely financed by this
democratic method of enlisting
popular support for the fight
against tuberculosis, and the
National Association believes
that other states should be
stimulated to make fight for
state honors. Consequently the
offering of the pennant. Wis
consin must look to its laurels
in the competition also, for, in
spite of it's large sales, Rhode
Island, with its largely urban
population, holds the record for
the largest sale per capita each
year.
Rural communities of Wiscon-
sin, through the rural school
children, will be asked to take
a larger part in the 1915 seal
sale than ever before. The
state campaign is we'll under
way. millions of seals having
gone oatFfrom the Milwaukee
office during the last week: A
force of twenty-five young unon
and women worked all day
Thanksgiving in an effort to
clear the decks of the home
office for action and put the am
munition for disease fighting
into the hands of $500 generals,
colonels and captains in the
various communities throughout
the state.
The organizing of the seal
sale is nearly completed and
practically every community IN
the state will take active part.
Added interest will be given
this year by the production OF
the anti-tuberculosis photo play,
"The Power Of the Penny,
enacted in Wisconsin scenes
largely by Wisconsin people.

POLES HAVE
ROUGH HOUSE
Beer Party Ends With Shots
Being Fired
Parties Hauled Into Court on
Monday to Answer to
Various Charges.

The Polish section of the city
was the scene of a disturbance
on Saturday night which ended
in one woman being shot through
the leg, two or three men being
battered up, and a number being
hauled into court on Monday
morning.
1t is said that a "beer party"
was being held at one of the
residences where a large number
of men had gath cred to cele-
brate. Everything seemed to
go along farely well until about
the midnight hour when a row
was started. The trouble spread
rapidly and about one o'clock
residents of that section were
aroused by wild screams, after
which four shots were fired in
quick succession, and then every
thing was still.
The first news that someone
had been shot was given when a
call was put in for doctor and
also for the officers. Upon ar
irving at the scene it was learn
| ed that Mrs. George Klock had
been shot through the thigh by
a stray bullet and Leo Zawski
was arrested, charged with the
shooting.
On Monday morning the whole
matter was thoroughly thrashed
out before Municipal Judge
George A Calder. It appears
that someone had started a scrap
which grew until a number of
persons were involved. Leo
Zawski, who was charged with
the shooting, appeared in court
with a badly damaged face and
head, the result of the pummel-
ing which he had been given.
Zawski admitted that he had
fired four shots but said that he
had fired into the air with the
intention Of frightening the per-
sons who had done him harm.
He denied all knowledge of hav-
ing fired shots which could have
possibly injured anyone burt said
that other shots had been fired.
Mrs. Klock, who was shot, was
an innocent bystander who was
some distance away from the
scene Of the fracus.
It was brought out in court
that several persons were en-
gagged in the melee and aftel
hearing the evidence Municipa
Judge Calder gave each of thu
persons a fine and costs to teacl
them not to disturb the peac'
again.

Typhoid Fever

The daughter of Mr.. Carl
Anderson of west Third street
is reported as being quite i'll
with typhoid fever. There are
a number of cases of typhoid
fever at Bayfield, and there has
been one or two cases in this
city this season. 1t has been
suggested by the Health Officer
that it might be well to boil
drinking water in order to take
all precautions.
Usually the water supply of
Wash hburn has always been in
fine condition and the disease
may have been caused from
other causes.

OLD PIONEER
RESIDENT De ID.
Mrs. Mary Starr Answers
Death Summons
Had Been a Resident of
Washburn for Nearly
Thirty Years.

1t was with sadness that the
people of Washburn received the
news of the death of one of oul
pioneer residents on Saturday
afternoon of last week at four
O'clock p, m. It was at that time
that Mrs. Mary Starr, aged n
years and Z months, said to be
one of the oldest residents of the
city, answered the death sum.
mons.
For more than a year and q
half previous to her death Mrs,
Starr had been in quite poor
health, but during the past three
weeks had failed rapidly and
death came as relief to her
sufferings. Death was due to a
general breakdown of health
caused by old age.
The funeral was held Monday
morning at nine o'clock from the
| st. Louis Catholic church OF
which Mrs. Starr was a devout
member. The services were in
charge of Rev. FIR. Seeboth. In
terment was in Woodland ceme-
tary in the family lot where Mr..
Starr and sons Edward and Tom
and daughter Mrs. LeBrash are
buried.
Mrs. Mary Starr was born at
Cork, Ireland, coming to this
country when eleven years of
age. The family settled at
Montreal, Canada, where Mrs.
Starr was married to Mr.. John
Starr. When twenty years of
age Mrs. Starr came to Wiscon-
sin with her husband where they
lived at different places. About
thirty years ago Mr.. Starr heard
of the wonderful possibilities in
Washburn and moved with his
family to this place. At that
time Washburn consisted of a
main street running from the
Omaha depot to the Lamoreaux
hotel corner. Upon arriving in
Washburn Mr.. and Mrs. Starr
engaged in the hotel business in
| the Starr house, which at that
time was one of the most popular
hotels in the city. 1t was due to
Mrs. Starr's untiring efforts that
a fine business was built up.
Unto the union seven children
were born, four Of whom survive
the mother. They are Mrs. John
Graham, John, Jim and William
Starr. On January 11th, 1900,
Mr.. Starr passed away and he
was followed by his sons Tom
and Edward and daughter Mrs.
Peter LeBrash. The deaths of
the four members Of the family
was a hard blow to the mother
and she continually mourned fol
them.
Mrs. Starr was a kind, mother.
| ly lady, beloved by all who knew
her. Her deeds of kindness were
many. She was the first mem.
Der Of the Pioneer Association OF
Washburn when that organiza'
tion was formed and she never
failed to attend any function
given by that organization. Mrs
Starr will be missed in the com
munity but she leaves behind
kind deeds that will ever b.
remembered.
The sympathy of friends goe'
out to the relatives in their be-
reavement.
