Ashland and WaShburn to
Meet Here Sunday
Last Opportunity for Fans to
See Home Team in Action
in This City.

Next Sunday afternoon ends
league base ball so far as Wash
burn is concerned for the last
game of base ball to be played
on the grounds in this city will
be played here when the Ash
land and Washburn teams will
meet.
On other occasions when these
two teams have met the games
have been won by the Washburn
team but several new players
have been added to each team
since the last meeting and one
of the best games of the season
is expected.
Ashland says they are coming
with 500 rooters, determined to
win the game, but Manager
Pratt of the local team says that
he expects fully a thousand fans
from Washburn to attend the
game and that his outfit will
walk away again with the long
end of the score.
Both of the teams have been
playing fine ball during the past
few weeks and it promises
to be some game.

After each payday a number
of checks find their way to Ash
land and the saloon men of that
city thought nothing of cashing
the checks when they were pre-
sented in payment for drinks.
It is said that two or three
would enter a saloon at a time
and present the checks. The
checks were made out in sums
averaging about $21.8O each,
and the date on them was Aug
ust 29th. The company is en-
deavoring to run down the
forgers but on account of meagre
description of the men cashing
the checks the job is going to be
a difficult one.

Some of the Contested
Positions

nation of Mr.. Duffy by over 14O
votes. Mr.. Deniston made a
good run, despite his small ac-
quaintance in the county, but
lacked enough votes to nominate.
The county contests over the
office of sheriff, district attorney
and county clerk drew the most
interest. Seven candidates were
in the field for the republican
nomination for sheriff and this
contest was red hot one with
everyone guessing differently as
to the possible winners.
AS the returns began coming
in from the heavier polling pre-
cincts it was apparent that the
race was between Andy Murray
of Washburn and Max Happle
of iron River, with James N.
Long of Bayfield, running third
and James A. LaLonde of Wash
burn running fourth. Eben
Olson of Port Wing took fifth
place, G. E. Patterson of Bay
field sixth place and A. P. Stone
of Washburn seventh.
AS additional returns came in
the race between Murray and
Happle for first place became
exciting with first one leading
and then the other. From official
and unofficial returns now at
hand it is now certain that Mr..
Murray will have the nomination
with a majority somewhere be-
tween thirty and fifty votes.
Three candidates were in the
field for the republican nomina-
for District Attorney, being
Alfred M. Warden, present in
cumbent, Charles F. Morris and
E. c.. Alvord. Mr.. Morris has a
good lead in the race, having
over 240 more votes than his
closest opponent.
For county Clerk the race be-
tween Nels M. Oscar and Harvey
Irish developed into close race
with Mr.. Oscar again winning
out by a margian of about 70
votes. This was the second
primary in which these two men
were opponents and although
Mr.. Irish devoted a lot of time
to the campaign, yet he was un-
able to muster up the required
number of votes to give him the
nomination.

Spirited contests for several
of the county positions and the
interest taken in the state,
senatorial and assembly contests,
brought out one of the biggest
primary votes in years and the
result was very exciting
primary with several surprises.
From returns now in it appears
that Governor Phillip has been
nominated as Governor and that
at least one other on his ticket
has been nominated with him,
being Henry Johnson the pres
ent state treasurer. The La
Toilette candidates who have
been nominated for state posi-
tions are E. F. Dithmar for
Lieutenant Governor, Merlin
Hull for Secretary of State and
Walter C. Owen for Attorney
General.
Robert M. LaFollette has been
nominated again for United
States Senator over Malcolm
Jefries. Returns would in
dicate that LaFollette will have
a majority ranging from 10000
to o25, 900 when the official returns
are all in. This was a very
spirited race but Wisconsin, S
favorite son won easily, despite
hard campaigning on the part
of the opposing faction.
Irvine L. Lenroot was easily
nominated for Congressman
of the 18th District over Mr..
Jossart of Minoqua. 1t was a
walk-away for the present Con-
gressman.
In the 18th Senatorial District
a very spirited contest developed
between H. H. Peavey of Wash
burn and Alonzo H. Wilkinson
| of Bayfield, with the returns in
dicating that Mr.. Wilkinssn has
been nominated by a majority
of over 300. Mr.. Peavey made
good run against strong
opposition.
The contest for the republican
nomination for member Of the
Assembly from the Bayfield,
County District between Walter
A. Duffy of Moquah and Gilbert
w. Deniston of Bayfield, develop
ed into a merry scrap and a very
close contest developed, but the

Ashland Merchants Received
of Nearly $1,000
Checks Similar to those OF
Dupont Manufacturing
Company Used.

One of the neatest forgeries
which has been pulled off in this
region in some time came to the
attention of banking officials in
this city last Thursday and Fri
day when checks began arriving
in the city which looked identic-
al to the checks used by the Du-
Pont Manufacturing company
at Barksdale. having been forged
at Ashland and cashed at many
of the Ashland business places.
The checks were printed on a
safety paper and were almost
identical to those used by the
Cashier at the Barksdale works.
The name of H. S. Risler,
cashier, was signed to the checks
which were made out to persons
who formerly worked for the
DUPONT people.
The forgery was discovered by
Cashiers Lindgren of the Bay
field County Bank and Haugen
of the Northern State Bank i'm
mediately upon the arrival of
the checks at their respective
banks. The defect in the sig
nature was noticed almost i'm
mediately and further investi-
cation showed that the safety
paper used was not Identical
with the company paper which
bears the DUPONT watermark.
The DuPon company was
notified and an investigation was
begun.
It has since developed that
nearly $1,000 was obtained by
the forgers, all of the checks
being cashed at Ashland, and
the loss to business houses oi
that city was considerable.
The forgers used the saloons
to large extent in their opera
tions. going in and buying drinks
and presenting the checks in
payment.

Game Birds

Although the game bird sea-
son opens on September 7th, yet
it is not expected that Bayfield,
county hunters will have an op-
portunity to do much shooting
this season ON account of the
scarcity of birds.
Hunters who have been MAX
ing frequent visits to the woods
and fields during the past few
weeks in the hopes of locating
birds report that it has been
some years since they have been
so scarce. This is attributed to
to the poor Matching season a
year ago and the extremely cold
weather, followed by a poor
Matching season again this
spring.
