Chicago Man Has Narrow
Escape from Death.
Shot from High Power Rifle
Rips Through Coat and
Vest Last Sunday

Peter Uedelhofen, of Chicago,
has reason to think that he has
a charmed life judging from the
narrow escape which he had
last Sunday.
For some time Mr.. Uedelhofen
has been stopping out in the
Cranberry country. Last Sunday
he decided that he would make
a trip to Herbster and he started
out on foot to walk the distance.
The day was rather warm and
he had his coat and vest open.
AS he was walking along the
old grade along the Cranberry
valley he heard a shot and felt
the bullet pass through his coat.
The bullet passed through the
front of the coat and vest and
out through the back, clipping
the sleeve on the right side of
the coat.
Mr.. Uedelhofen did not see
the person that fired the shot
and was so frightened that he
did not venture into the woods
to discover who had fired but
proceeded on his way.
Mr.. Uedelhofen says that he
has not an enemy to his knowl-
edge and. hesis alta loss to know
who fired the shot unless it was
some hunter that mistook him
for bear or other wild animal.
Mr.. Uedelhofen was in town
Tuesday morning to have his
coat repaired and exhibited the
torn holes. Had the coat been
buttoned when the shot passed
through the bullet would have
gone through his body. The
aim of the person firing the
shot was good but the fact that
the coat was open saved the
young mans life.

Registrations to be Conducted
Throughout the United States

Must Register or Suffer
Arrest for Failure.

Within five days from the date

tion of all males for army SER
vice, notices will be published.

Preliminary instructions have
been received by County Clerk
Oscar for setting in motion the
proper machinery. On the date
fixed by the Governor all males
will be required to go to their
polling place and register by
giving all the information asked
for. Those who neglect or re-
fuse to do this are subject to
arrest. Every town will be
required to furnish proper regis
tration places. The election
officers who conduct the elections
will act as officers of the regis
tration, but may give way to
volunteer officers. When asked
about the plan, County Clerk
Oscar who will execute the law
in this county has this to say:
Wisconsin has adopted the
method of registration suggested
by Governor Philipp. Notices
will be issued from this office
perhaps the latter part of the
week giving full details. All
registration will be conducted
by the election offices in each
town. Towns are authorized to
pay election officers for this SER
vice, but it is suggested as a
patriotic duty that those who
can spare the time, serve with
out pay. A date will be fixed
for registering, and all male
persons within the specified age
must go to the polling place and
furnish all the information re-
quired in the notices. No ex-
cuses will be accepted. | am in
formed that all who neglect to
register will be arrested. No
one can say that he did not have
proper notice. / shall give the
matter as wide publicity as it is
possible to give it. In the cities
of Washburn and Bayfield, where
one set of election officers con-
duct the elections for all wards,
| anticipate it will be impossible
to conduct the registration,
therefore / suggest that those
who are willing to help the
regular offices give their names
to the City Clerk so that every
thing will be ready when final
notices are issued. Those who
cannot go to the polling place on
account of illness must send for
the proper blanks, fill them out
and return them to the proper
officers. Itmust be remembered
that all who are not physically
incapacitated must go and regis
ter. / apprehend that Federal
officers willsmake a thorough in
vestigation after registration
