were before him. Until his re-
cent illness he has always been
healthy and strong. While

ment work at the Olson building
he contracted cold which de-
veloped into lagrippe. and
this sapped his strength so that
he was unable to battle with the
disease which ended in his
death.

Conservation Warden Arthur
Childs announced this morning
that under a new law it is illegal
to catch trout under seven in
ches. With the rapid approach
of the season for this specimen
of the tinny tribe it will be of
interest to the sportsmen to
know what changes have been
made in the laws relating to
trout fishing. The same limit
as as to the numbe of trout
which can be caught in a day
still applies, that of forty-dve.
The new statute regarding the
length Of the fish is effective
not only il the Upper Wisconsin
counties but throughout the
whole state. Another fact which
is of interest is that the season
has been shortened about fifteen
days. Ii opens this year on
May / and closes about Septem-
ber 1. These dates apply to
only Ashland, Douglas, Bay field
and Iron counties. The open
season for trout in other coun.
ties of the state is from April
Is TO August 81.
Childs decllred that the sea-
son for bass, pike and pickerel
opens on May 30. The closed
season for all game is now on.
The new law regarding the
length of the trout this season
is unfamiliar to many and this
announc. ment should serve 10
enlighten those unacqaainted q
with the new statute.

License Question Will Not be
Voted on Here.
Several Petitions Are Circu-

Are Not Secured.

Desperate efforts were made
by the outside liquor interests
to have the license question SUBJ
mitted to vote this spring, but
the efforts made to secure the
reqired number of names failed
in every instance and the ques-
tion will not be voted on this
spring.
AS was announced in the last
issue Of The Times, Bailey, who
started the first petition, became
disgusted with the work and
left for parts unknown Tuesday.
AS soon as this information
reached the outside liquor inter-
ests other local parties were in
duced to circulate petitions and
several were in evidence during
the last few days of last week
but these failed to put in an ap-
pearance at the office of the City
Clerk Clausen and the question
is now a dead one" for this
year at least, and perhaps for all
time to come.
1t has been said that several
local parties were offered induce
ments in the way of promises
ofssaloons, etc. providing they
could succeed in having the city
voted wet at the spring election
but the outside liquor interests
failed to y, - ths A A5ent ef
the people on. this question, for if
they had they would have found
it overwhelmingly in favor of a
closed town.
After a trial of two years
without saloons the people OF
Washburn were satisfied that
conditions continue as they are
and business men of the city
came out openly this year and
fought every attempt to circu-
late petition.

1t Caught Them

george bucnanan, aSenG lor
the New York Life Insurance
company, who is always play
ing some practical joke on some
one, had quite a bunch going
last Sunday when he pulled of
another of his stunts.
Together with Shorty" Long
Simon Murphy, Hugh Ross and
one or two others Mr.. Buchanan
started something last Sunday
which seemed to draw a crowd
even though the trail over which
the people were led went through
snow waist deep.
Buchanan and Murphy secured
two pair of boxing gloves and
together with the others above
mentioned started out of the
Beers Club. In loud language
Buchanan started to tell Muir
ply about how long it would
take him to give the punch that
would produce dreams IN
slu m berland" and this remark
was overheard by a bunch who
happened to be standing on the
corner at the time.
The news was quickly passed
around by those hearing the re-
mark that a eight to finish
match was to be pulled off and
the crowd began to gather from
all angles. Pool halls were
emptied, streets were cleared
as Buchanan and Murphy
started down the street still
talking of the match.
Buchanan and Murphy went
down main street, turning the
corner at the Carbrook hotel,
then down 1st avenue east and
around box cars down near the
car repair shop and then through
a hole in the fence into the ball
ground where they began to
kick away the snow.
By this time crowd of near
4 two hundred had gathered and
the grand stand began to fill up
rapidly. Others in their endeav-
or to get in in time not to miss
anything climbed fences, tore
off boards and piowed through
mud and snow in order to get
near the supposed participants
of the bout.
By this time "Shorty Long,
was doubled up with laughter
which seemed to give away the
| Joke and Mr.. Buchanan an
nounced to the crowd of inter
ested spectators that the gloves
had simply been carried to the
ball grounds for the purpose of
giving them an airing and the
bunch have been kicking them
selves ever since for having
hoon made the victim of a Joke.
