BARRON DEFEATED
lADYSMITH HIGHS VANQUlSH
OLD-TIME RIVALS ON
THEIR OWN
FLOOR
LOSE IN GAME WITH CAMERON
Girls Team Loses at Barren, But
Wins at Cameron

For the first time in the history
of the school, the Ladysmith high
school has Inflicted stinging defeat
upon the Barron Highs on the Ear
ron floor
On Friday last, about twenty high
school enthusiasts, comprising the
boys and girls basketball teams,
their coaches and a few rooters, went
to Barron for the purpose Of assert
ing their prowess, the games being
the fastest ever seen in Barron
basetball-dom. The girls team lost
to the Barron girls, by a score of
to Is. This defeat, however, is only
Of passing Importance, as it was
but the first effort of the home girls.
The boys team showed an article
Of basketball they have never be-
fore revealed. Their fast team work
and clever basket shooting kept their
opponents constantly on the defen-
siVe, each member of the team, in
his own peculiar department, estab-
fishing his title to high honors Jes-
sell and Ryall showed wonderful
form, in guarding the goal, and Car
dinal and Clark succeeded in har-
Vesting a good crop of field goals.
Robert Jacobs was in the thickest
of the fight, at center, end won en-
during laurels, ut-generaling his op-
ponent, in every maneuver The La
dysmith boys led by a close mar
gin almost every minute of the game,
and nOsed out a comfortable lead,
just before the time was called. The
final score stood Is to q in favor
of Ladysmith. This victory puts the
LadySmith team on an equal foot
ing with the other aspirants 10 the
MenOmOnie tournament.
On Saturday night the teams
played at Cameron, where the girls
won hard-fought victory over the
Cameron girls, by a score of S to
8. The boys, weakened and crippled
from the game of the night before,
and handicapped by the smallness of
the floor, lost to Cameron to the
melody OF IA to %.
1t will be remembered that the To-
calls defeated this same team on the
home floor in a one-sided game of
% to 49, There is every reason to
believe that the Ladysmith team will
yet fight their way into a ''place in
the sun"-in other words, win admis-
sion to the Menomonie tournament

REFLECT OLD OFFICERS

The annual stockholders and di-
rectors' meetings of the State Bank
of Ladysmith were held at the bank
Monday evening, the old officers and

satisfactory and successful years
business was shown by the cashiers
report Directors from distance

SOCIAL AND CARD PARTY

The social and card party given by
the Catholic Ladies' Aid Society, at
the parish hall Tuesday night, which
was one of the most largely attend
ed-some $40. being realiZed-proved
also one of the most successful, in
point of enjoyableness. At the close
of the evening an pportunity-of
which many availed themselves-was
afforded those having taste for the
pleasures of the dance. The gam
ing prize, high, brass candle-stick,
was won by Mrs. t. L. Murphy, the
award for best character makeup"
and impersonation, deck of cards
and leather "calling-card' case, go
ing to Mrs. w. HI. Judd. The judges
| for the latter were Mrs. Sam Ritchie,
Mrs. Frank Putnam and Mrs. A. G.
Mooney.
The cast of characters and costum-
ing was meant to be tuned to the
keynote of poverty flats, but
many of the performers in playing
the role, in one respect Or another,
failed to keep the "pitch." Mrs. Judd
appeared with shuffling gait, lean
ing on a poverty wood" walking
stick, carrying a basket, and claim
| ing to hail from Bruce. She wore
mackinaw and stocking cap, turned
up moccasins and mittens-of about
the vintage of Colonial times-and
her apron was apparently as full OF
holes as if it had been made out of
flag from the Gettysburg Hornets
Nest" Her garb and carriage even
was such that, seemingly, she might
have posed as a queen of tatterde-
malta; and her impersonation of the
part was commented upon as being
as realistic as that on many stage.

CHAUTAUQUA MEETING MONDAY
Plans for Organizing and Manage
ment of Chautauqua to be Held
Here This Year Will be
Taken Up

The matter of organizing and de
vising plans for the management OF
the Chautauqua, to be held in Lady
smith during the summer, will be
taken up at meeting to be held at
the city hall, Monday evening, Feb
1, at 8 o'clock Everyone who is in,
terested, and especially those who
have signed the Chautauqua contract
is urged to be present.
AS a sociological institution, the
Chautauqua would seem to have
within it the elements which make
irresistibly for it's long, if not per-
manent life, in that it furnishes a
season of physical recreation COM
bined with entertainment and men
tai stimulus.
In the older settled sections it
grows, and is a revenue producer, in
districts having a radius of only ten
or dozen miles. Our observation
is that the community, having as
wide a territory as Ladysmith to
draw from, that is first in the field
with such an association will there
by pre-empt it and be assured of
success.
AS an educational force, the Chau-
tauqua performs a good office. Be-
ing, seemingly, connecting link
between the county fair and the old
lecture bureau, it appears to furnish
what some complain of the lack of,
to some extent, in the former-an
intellectualizing element. And by
broadening and diversifying the scope
of it's talent, it has succeeded in
popularizing to a much greater de-
gree, the old platform style of en-
tertainment

AIMS RIFLE AT SHERIFF MEEK
Jackson County Officer Runs Across
Bad Customer Near Sheldon

Sheriff Fred Meek, of Black River
Falls, was in the city last evening
after an unsuccessful attempt to ar
rest Joseph Franks near Sheldon.
Franks was wanted by the Jack
son county authorities for skipping
OUT from the town of Knapp, in that
county, while under bail for appear
ance in court on a charge Of arson.
Sheriff Meek finally located the man
he was searching for near Sheldon,
where he was cutting bolts on John
Teeters place. Meek got a man TO
take him out there, but when Franks
saw the sheriff coming he pointed a
rifle at the officer and commanded
him to stay back or he would shoot.
The sheriff and his companion ap-
preached nearer when Franks
"cocked' the gun and told them he
would shoot either of them if they
came a step nearer.
Now there is nothing meek abSut
the Jackson county sheriff but his
name, but he isn't a fool and he at
once decided that the situation was
too delicate to experiment with and
retired. When Franks is apprehend-
ed he will pay a much heavier pen
atty than he would have otherwise.

STATE REALTY MEN CONVENE
Local Men Figure Prominently in the
Program, and Important Ac-
tion Taken

w. S. Manning, who returned
Wednesday noon from Eau Claire
where he attended the meetings, this
week, Of the Wisconsin Association
of Real Estate Brokers-speaks en-
Enthusiastically of the convention,
which was the largest yet held.
Other Ladysmithians in attendant e
were the vice-president for Rusk
county, Henry Wilson, J. w. Carow
and r. B. Mcdonald. Mr.. Wilson
was down on the program for a re-
port on the condition of realty op-
erations and interests il Rusk
county, Mr.. Carow spoke upon ''What
Real Estate Brokers Should Know
About Land Titles" and Mr. Mac
Donald upon Management of Real
Estate Office
A paper was read by A. D. Camp
bell, of Milwaukee, upon the wis
consin Advancement Association, and
it's Relation to the Real Estate Brok-
ers,' with the value of which the
convention was SO strongly i'm
pressed that, by resolution, it was
requested to be published in every
paper in the state. Other principal
transactions were the resolution
that the legislature be asked to enact
a law providing for the licensing
of real estate agents, and the advice,
by the convention, that cities of any
considerable size organize real estate
boards.
The convention was remarkable for
the large volume of talk devoted to
northern Wisconsin, it's great devel-
opment last year and the greater, ap-
parently, in store for it, during 1915.
The officers of the association
elected for the coming year were:
President, Ben F. Faast, Eau Claire;
e-President, G. K. Ellingson, Haw-
kins; Secretary, f. A. Kremer.

MAKES ASSAULT ON ]. w. CAROW
Attorney, After Violent Struggle,
Overpowers Gun-Man, Who
is Turned Over to
Authorities

Tuesday afternoon an apparently
casual caller, knocking at the hall en-
trance to the private office Of J. w.
Carow-which is kept locked-was
told to go to the other door. He did
so and, entering, asked the stenog-
rapher, Miss Selma Groeschel, if
Mr.. Carow was in. At the same
time, apparently, his eyes falling up
on the man he sought-who wcs
busy at his desk in the adjoining
roOm-with the words, Gt is said)
Il kill you," he pulled a revolver
from his side overcoat pocket and
started for the attorney, bringing the
gun into position and operating the
trigger as he advanced Springing to
his feet, Mr.. Carow seized his vio-
lent intruder about the waist and
struggle began for the possession
of the firearm.
Miss Groeschel up to this time was
daZed by what was happening, as it
had been precipitated with no warn
ing, but as the encounter progressed,
and the weapon was brandished
about, it CHANGED to be pointed in
her direction. This brought her to
realization OF the situation and
running into the hall she secured the
assistance of Atty L. e. McGil. In
the meantime, however, Mr.. CaroW
had succeeded in disarming his
assailant, who was placed under ar
rest by Under-Sheriff Dodson, taken
before Judge Reeves at once, and af-

FARM BURROWS

The ideas of, and experience with,
northern Wisconsin of Geo. Churchill,
living 3 miles south and / mile east
who has been here Is years and
has farm with 80 acres cleared
are interesting and edifying, especial
1y to "tender-foot'' so many of
whom are in this section. From 81
acres, Mr.. Churchill threshed 694
bushels of oats last season, that
weighed out pounds to the bushel
above the standard (40 pounds)
which increases his yield to very
nearly 100 bushels, Or double the
average for Rusk county. He also
realized good money from clover
seed, 1900 pounds of which he took
from 5 acres, besides having the
clover straw for hay, which he says
it equals. His idea is that there is
no better country for vegetables-in-
Guiding tomatoes-grass and small
grains, except corn, and the climate
gets better for that, as it did in
the southern part of the state, af-
ter the removal of the pines and 9th
er evergreen tres, which kept the
ground cold and shortened the sea-
son at both ends.

WORK OF VISITING NURSE

Miss Margaret Thomas, of Eau
Claire, who is spending six weeks
in Ladysmith as visiting nurse, -
through the instrumentality of the
Woman's Study Club and the city
council, is, with her varied activities,
a busy woman. One of the most
important features of her work is the
visitation of the homes of those
where there is sickness or want and
who lack the knowledge to better the
conditions that surround them-and
which can often be materially i'm
proved by their own efforts-as well
as the means to secure needed medi-
cal assistance and proper food and
clothing.
Miss Thomas has also devoted time
to giving talks to mothers and to
classes from both the training school
and the highschool, on "Home Nurs-
ing"
Miss Thomas, speaking to the edi-
tor of this paper, stated that the
standard of health appeared quite
high in Ladysmith and in spite of
the recent outbreak of a number of
cases of a mild form of smallpox
spread of which was quickly stopped
by energetic rerressive measures
there was but little serious sickness
in the city.
