MERRILL MAN LOSES BEAR

John Akey, the Merrill man who
has been travelling about the country
with his trained bear, "Queenie," 3"
during the past two years, lost the
animal by death while in the state
of Tennessee recently. 1t is supposed
that the bear was given something
to eat by one of the spectators that
did not agree with it, or was of a
poisonous nature, and the result was
that the animal died in spite of the
fact that everything possible was
done to save it's life.
Mr. Akey passed through Rudolph
on Monday on his way home from the
south and according to his story it
was not all path of roses travelling
with bear, Notwithstanding the fact
that he did a good business and
cleaned up some money. The bear
seemed to have a particular aversion
to negroes, and while showing in the
state of Arkansas, Queenie snapped
off a finger from one of the negro
spectators who poked it through the
muzzle, apparently with the desire of
finding out what the bear would do.
1t took an even hundred dollars to
.recompense the negro for the loss of
his finger, and then Mr.. Akey moved
over into the state of Tennessee.
where the bear bit a finger from
another negro. This second black
man was not so high-priced as the
first and he settled up for SIS. 1t
was soon after this that the bear was
taken sick and died. 1t is needless
to say that Mr.. Akey was very sorry
to lose the animal, because it was
great pet with the family, besides be-
ing we'll trained and a source of rev.
enue wherever it was shown.-Merrill
Tribune.

HIGHWAYS ARE DISCUSSED

IF you wish to develop your county,
you must develope your roads," de-
clared Attorney W. V. Silverthorne of
Hayward, to nearly 200 delegates at
tending the third joint road school.
When you build a mile of road, you
are laying the way for the develop
ment of quarter section of land.
Road building increases the value of
property adjacent to IT,"
There is more wealth under your
soil than there is in the mines of the
Gogebic range. In order to bring this
wealth to the service, you must con-
struct roads. Before you can clear the
land you must get to it. and to dis
pose of your farm products after it
is cultivated, roads are necessary" de-
clared MIR. e.-Rhinelander

to work
Plant for early crops as soon as
the weather permits. Make success
sive paintings of lettuce, radishes,
beans, and other short-season crops.
Start new crops between the rows
of plants that are soon to be removed.
As fast as the ground is cleared
of one crop start a new crop.
See that your garden toward fall
is full of potatoes, beets, turnips, cab
bage, and other staple foods that can
be stored for the winter.
Boys and girls can help to make
the soil in your gardens, back yards,
and vacant lots produce food for the

irreparable loss that is mourned by
every one of u.s. He was a man who
retained his youth in old age, and who
had a rare gift of companionship that
charmed the youngest equally with the
oldest of his associates and won their
affection and esteem. He was, besides,
a model golfer in every sense of that
expression of high praise. From the
first he was an enthusiastic, generous
and inspiring member Of the club We
shall not see his like again"

MAN KILLED AT RINGLE
Head Crushed In-Fred Neuendank
Arrested, Charged With Com
mitting the Deed.

Last Wednesday, a farmer living
near Ringle, was killed by being
struck on the head with club. The
first intimation that any one knew OF
the affair was when Fred Neuendank
himself told the adjoining farmers
that Ebert had been injured and he
was in need of assistance. He re-
turned with them to the place where
Ebert was found on the Neuendank
land only little way from his line
The man was taken to his home, and
Neuendank went to Ringle and asked
for warrant for Ebert for assault.
He applied to August Buchman. a JUS
tire Of the peace, but was not given
one but was soon afterwards arrest
ed and later brought to Wausau and
placed in the county jail. where he
awaits trial.
Th2 prisoner claims that there had
hetn bad feeling between him and
ebert for several years. but there had
been no serious trouble. On Wednes-
day forenoon. between eleven and
twelve o'clock. he went over to that
part Of the farm where the trouble
occurred and was Shot at by Ebert,
who had a revolver /fn his hands.
Neuendark rushed up and grappled
with him and in the fight which fol-

and from which he died. Neuendank
claims he struck the man in self de-
fense. A revolver was found near
where Ebert laid

paneled a jury and viewed the
body and looked over the premises
where the fight occurred The jury
was composed of r. Hettinger, Jr.. E.

NO ORDERS TO DISCHARGE

Officials of the state have received
no order from the war department
to discharge from the National Guard,
married men who have families de
pendent upon them even if they wish
to serve. Gov Philip and Adj. Gen.
Orlando Holway, have, however, re-
ceived authority from Washington to
discharge men from service if inves-
tigation shows that persons arc de-
pendent upon them. This rule will
not seriously affect National Guard en-
listment, as Wisconsin has followed
this policy in recruiting the Guard.
Gen. Holway estimates that not more
than 400 Wisconsin Guardsmen are
married. Wisconsin now has equip
ment for 1000 of its 1000 guards.
Gen. Holway believes equipment for
the remaining force win soon be avail
able.

Z. S. ARMY

The Pilot has received a letter from
Thos. E. Cathro, Captain. U. s. Army,
assisting recruiting officer, who re-
sides in Milwaukee. He urges all
young men to join the, regular army.
He says, Il want 1000 of the best
young manhood of wisconsin to en-

Eau Claire, Wis, l S. Barstow st.
After an applicant has been accept
ed by member of the recruiting par
ty, all further expenses are borne by
the government"
Postmaster T. H. Ryan has been
asked by the U. S. government to aid
in the recruiting of the regular army.
The letter, in part, says
"The postmaster is a representative
of the government in his community,
and the people have a right to look
to him to take the leadership in any
movement that has for its purpose the
upholding and support of the govern
ment in any matter in which its inter-
ests are involved. By law the post
masters are called upon to assist the
recruiting officers in securing recruits
for the army and navy, and in this
duty we should not take mere pas
sive interest, but should exert our
selves to meet not only the intent, but
the spirit of the law"
This letter was sent out by cooper
alton of the Wisconsin Association of
Postmasters. and the Wisconsin De-
fense League, working with Captain
Cathro of the Army recruiting ser
vice.
Captain Cathro's letter to patriotic
citizens says in part:
I'VE want everyone TO feel that the

by the people and for the people. 1t
is your army, and we want you to feel
a vital interest in it, by bringing our

LIVE METHODS OF WIS.
STATE ASSOCIATION
(Sporting Life, March 81

(Sportlng Life, March 31.)
We venture to say that the Wis
consin State shoot will be a record
breaking event this season, and this
assertion is made despite the fact
that the event is four months away
The success of the tournament is
virtually assured because the officials
of the Wisconsin State Association
have not only arranged an unusually
attractive program, but they have al
so set about arousing interest in the
state through the use of the largest
and most attractive posters we have
yet seen used in a trap shooting pub
licity campaign. F. G. Wiechmann,
of Wausau, Wis, is the secretary of
the association, and W. thinner, the
president, and we venture the guess
that this pair was mainly responsible
for the fine layout The tournament
is the eighte enth annual affair slated
for Wausau, Wis, on July %, % and
"a. There will be at least 81 600 in
added money and trophies for this
tournament. One of the novelties
that will attract great interest IS the
fact that 200 targets will be thrown
on two of the days, prize of s1.00
being given for each red target brok-
en-. There will be sixty trophies
valued at $500 each in addition to
the big prizes. In fact the tourna-
ment presents one of the best arrays
of trophies ever shown in a state
tournament. Gun club officials who
are interested in these novelties will
do well to get in touch with the Wis
consin officials and also watch the
outcome in the attendance figures for
proof of the efficacy of the plan.
