THREATEN SUIT
FOR THE LATE RAID
Court House Row Between
Clark and Lynch Takes On
a New Angle.
BOTH MAKE STATEMENTS

Big damage suits against the
county are now threatened as one OF
the results OF the raid by force OF
sheriff's deputies on Lakeside club,
commonly known as Shay-shay's
road house, according to the attorney
representing the majority OF the thir-
teen people arrested and held for sew
eral hours in jail.
Court housers see in the raid an angle
to the rumored feud between Sheriff
Clark and Commissioner Lynch
arising out of the jail-feeding row.
Adherents of the commissioner assert
that the sheriff believed he was raid
ing resort in which the former had
an interest. Commissioner Lynch
was at the court house bright and
early and gave out the following
signed statement:
Sheriff Clarks statement that l
told him own one-half of Lakeside
road house is absolutely and deliber-
ately false, and everybody who knows
me knows that it is false. l do not
ON any interest in Lakeside or any
other road house. ! could not afford
to if l wanted to on account of my
position.
John Ford, manager of the road
house, is former neighbor and
friend of MIS-. Clark is aware that
this fact is generally known and that
have no other interest in the place.
He thinks that will make his false
statements more probable.
IF Clark is honestly intending to
enforce the law, am for him.
Whether he made this raid for spite
work will be shown by his subsequent
actions"
Will Keep Lid On.
The sheriff declares no personal
feeling enters in the raid, but that he
is going to keep the lid on in Doug
las county, regardless of whom it af-
fected.
Charges of being inmates of dis
orderly house were placed against the
eight men and five women arrested,
according to the sheriff, but their at
torney says no charges were placed
against them. 81 have no record of
the arrests" said Chief Deputy Fos-
ter.
All OF the persons taken to the
county jail as result of the raid
were released few hours later on $50
cash bonds. The money put up for
the bonds was refunded when the re-
leased alleged road housers appeared
at the court house.
1--WE can get them again if we need
them," said the sheriff. They've all
given their words that they'll appear
if wanted"
To File Charges.
Following conference with County
Attorney Eagney Chief Deputy
Sheriff Foster declared that COM
plants charging selling liquor with
out license will be brought against
Frank Galloway, bartender. and John
Leonard, who Foster says is the man
ager of the Lakeside resort.
Meanwhile the Jail feeding row goes
on, the county board refusing to al
low Sheriff Clark's claim for Janu-
ary's purchases for the bastile. They
want him to submit an itemized state
ment OF his actual expenditures for
food.
The sheriff has borrowed $500 at a
bank to pay bills incurred in feeding
the prisoners. He borrowed $1,000 |
last month, besides using both his
semi-monthly pay checks and other |
moneys coming into his office.

SAGE TEA DARKENS,
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's time
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle of
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to tbs
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
it darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance.
Tt is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.

CHIPPEWA FALLS FOLKS
COMING TO RUSk FAIR
Ladysmith Trip to Eau Claire Not
Devoid of Good Results in
Boosting Event

Writing of the visit of Ladysmith
to Eau Claire last Thursday the
Chippewa Falls Herald says:
On many of the automobiles
were displayed banners labeled thus
ly: 1.-The Rusk County Fair, Septem-
Der 25-26-27-28," which is the week
following the big fair at Chippewa.
No doubt many of our citizens will
journey to Ladysmith and take in
the festivities at the capital city OF
Rusk county. Baseball game was
for the benefit of the Red Cross.
Many of the rooters stopped here
for dinner.
Louis Cloutier, aged 78, a noted
Chippewa valley pioneer who has
lived for over so years eight miles
north of the Flambeau community,
was among the baseball roOters, al
most as spry and lively as the short
stop on the Ladysmith nine. Mr..
Cloutier is we'll known to many of
our oldtimers. He enjoys the unique
distinction of being the only man
that ever walked from his ranch
above Flambeau to Chippewa Falls
in one day. He accomplished this
feat more than once and it was
said that among the early pioneers
40 and so years ago no one cared to
make the race with him. The dis
lance is about 60 miles which would
be a mighty good days hike for
the average citizen. Mr.. Cloutier
attributes his longevity to these
record breaking hikes which he used
to pull off in his younger days. He
advises young people to try this as
a medicine in order to add years to
their lives. He thinks he will live
to be 100 years old and then some.
The noted hiker travelled by auto
this trip.

We got our fifth incubation (shot

we get twenty-four hours off after
each one. We were only supposed
to get three shots when we landed
but they are coming SO regular that
lit would be like missing our meals
to miss one.
Well we are getting so the mumps
would be missed if they ever left.
We have about ten days left on
our quarantine and if anyone else
gets them during that time it will
mean two weeks more. The doctor
says if they broke out like they
have been we would be in quarantine
for two years or more and if they
broke out in the regiment it would
be twenty-seven years. We'll that's
enough mumps.
We were measured up for another
uniform and today we were measured
for underclothing and socks. We
were issued our rifles and mess kits
yesterday and you can see a gun
anywhere you look now.
The balance of the sixth infantry
are expected now and they will oc-
cupy the drill grounds. we have
had quite a few Ladysmith callers
since we came here. Hope none OF
them get sick on our grub. 1t is
noised around shat we will be cut

CHIPPEWA FAIR TO BE
GREATEST EVER THIS YEAR
Farm and Stock Displays Will Be
Immense; Amusement Program
Fine

On account of the excessively fine
crops in this portion of the state
this year, all indications point that
the Northern wisconsin State fair
to be held in Chippewa Falls, Sept.
1921 will be the greatest since it's
organization
The patriotic sentiment that is
sweeping the state has also increased
local pride and made the public in
general take more interest in the
welfare of their own particular To-
caiities and it is thought that peo-
pie will bring exhibits this year and
enter them as much out of local
pride and to show that they are
working for the interest of the
county and state as they will for the
prizes offered by the fair association.
Each man in these stirring times
has a feeling that even if he is too
old or too young to fight the battles
of his country, that he should do
all in his power to show that he has
it's welfare at heart, and it is this
spirit that is going to make the Nor
thern Wisconsin State Fair the
greatest in the history of Chippewa
county.
While there is no doubt that the
agricultural exhibits will be enough
to satisfy the lovers of fine stock
and farm produce, the management
has seen to it that the younger peo-
pie and those not interested in
things PASTORAL shall have the great
est feast of entertainment that has
ever been given them on an occa-
sion of this kind.
The celebrated Zouave's band, one
of the finest in the country, will
play every day of the fair, and to
lovers of good music this will be
great treat, for the opportunity to
hear such band as this does not
come often.
To those whose business or home
duties will not allow them to at
tend the fair in the day time, the
elaborate arrangements that the as
ISOLATION has made to have the even
ing's displays of fireworks surpass
anything ever given at the fair be-
fore, will be appreciated. and not
