Thanks Washburn Public
To the People of Washburn:

To the People of Washburn:
The secretary of the CONNER
cial club, in behalf of the Wash
burn Concert band and the Club
itself, desires to thank the good
people of this city for their
liberal and good-hearted patron
age of the band benefit at Tenn
pie theatre. Of course this was
your movement as we'll as ours,
but it is encouraging to the Sec
retary for his work here. 1t
shows loyalty to home enter
prises and as the benefit netted
nearly S125, the sum is quite a
start toward the $500. necessary
for financing the band and when
the summer concerts are put on,
all will enjoy the benefits and
the business interests will share
in the increased patronage on
concert nights. Truly you are
with us in the club slogan: "All
for Washburn and Washburn for
ALL"

one and will have no bearing
whatever on the question.
Notices were also posted about
the city by the same parties.
City Clerk L. N. Clausen has
been at Minneapolis during the
past two months where he has
been receiving treatment. All
of the city orders and other
papers were signed by Mr..
Clausen during his absence, be-
ing forwarded to him at Mime

City Treasurer, has been doing
clerical work in the Clausen
Office in addition to her duties as
City Treasurer. Miss Clarissa
Johnson has also been employed
in the same capacity. If Jer-
usha Johnson was acting City
Clerk, Clarissa Johnson might
also have been considered in the
same capacity. The court order
might have applied to her just
as well. The latter could have
acted as deputy City Clerk while
the former could not under the
law when she already held the
position as City Treasurer.

passed away this morning at
his residence on east 4th street.
Mr.. Elliot was known as Wash

sustained over three weeks ago
when he fell down the stairs at
his home, breaking his hip bone.

could not be set and since the
injury he has suffered great
pain.

Passenger Agent Here

Clarence T. Peterson, travel
ing passenger agent of the
Omaha, with his headquarters
at St. Paul, visited Washburn
yesterday and spent. the day
looking over the city, meeting
business and professional men
and getting a line on the needs
of the city from the Omaha
standpoint.
Mr.. Peterson was taken in
tow by Secretary Heermans of
the Commercial Club and Amos
M. Hansen and | Berman, di-
rectors and introduced to a num-
Der of the business people. He
has recently been assigned to
this district by his railroad COM
pany and will hereafter have
much to do with the Chequam-
egon bay region.
He is an exceedingly affable
man, open to suggestions and
thoroughly alive to his position
and it's responsibilities. He an
nounced that he had in directly
ascertained that the Omaha had
in view either repairs and en-
largement of the present Wash
burn station or the erection of a
new station. He said his infor-
nation was entirely unofficial.
1t is known that local con-
tractors have been approached
on the subject and it indicates
improvements of some nature.
Every man interviewed informed
Mr.. Peterson in a firm but friend
ly way that the public here
wanted a new station when any
any change is made, This, in
fact, is the local sentiment
generally.
Upon leaving the city Mr..
Peterson said his impressions
here had been very favorable
indeed. He thought there was
a future in store for the city and
he felt sure his superior officers
in the Omaha wanted to contrib
ute to local development and
support it by giving Washburn
every improved facility possible,
both in passenger and freight
service and as to a commodious
and comfortable station.

County Board
Recinds Action

At a special meeting of the
County Board held at the court
house today the Board recinded
it's action of November 18th in
which additional territory was
attached to the town of Barks-
dale. But few members opposed
the resolution recinding the
action ann at the meeting held
just after noon the matter went
through sailing.
The Town of Barksdale will
now favor a bill before the
legislature which provides that
the income tax of the town in
excess of 2 per cent of the as
sessed valuation will be distrib-
uted to the the towns and cities
of the county according to the
school population.
From the income tax to be de-
rived next year this will amount
to about 100000 to the city of
Washburn and amounts similar
to the other towns of the county
based on the number of school
children. The town will also
donate to the county 500, 900 to be
used in graveling the county
road in the town of Barksdale.

Reinstated to Position by
Mayor A. w. Macleod
Had Been Suspended Pend
ing Investigation of
Charges of Graft.

Chief of Police A. M. Kerr is
back on the force again, having
been reinstated to his position
by Mayor A. w. MacLead who
caused his suspension pending
investigation of the charges
preferred against Kerr for hav-
ing solicited and received money
for protection against raids of
"blind pigs.
The case against Chief Kerr
was dismissed by Court Com
missioner Nels M. Oscar when
the state failed to produce the
witnesses wanted in the case
and who had made the charges
against the Chief.
These witnesses were Gust
Hendrickson and Matt Mattson,
who were arrested and fined for
operating "blind pigs. After
paying their fines these men
made statements to the effect
that the chief had solicited and
received from them money for
protection and advance warning
in case of a raid. The day be-
fore the case came up for hear
ing these witnesses suddenly
disappeared from the city and
all efforts by the state to locate
them have thus far failed.
Chief Kerr assumed his duties
again on Monday of this week.
During his suspension his place
was taken by Street Commission
er Joe Arseneau.
