whether the smaller tires will carry

Goose Bone Prophets Predict
Mild Winter.

Contrary to the predictions of the
goose bone and the oldest and best
posted devotees of the patent medicine
almanac, that this is to be mild and
open winter, snow fell on Tuesday
forenoon and the thermometer dipped
down to a above zero on Friday at
dawn.
Snow started early on Tuesday and
melted as fast as it fell. In the after
noon came a drizzle of rain Then on
Wednesday having heard from other
parts of the state where the snow was
coming down and staying, it showed
in earnest all day and began again
Friday. About 2 inches was precipitat-
ed. In counties west of Rusk from A
to 6 inches is reported.
The storm is general over the north
west but there are very few reports
of damage done. Here, where there
many potatoes not dug, the freeze has
not been serious enough to injure the
tubers in the ground and many farm
ers and gardeners were digging pOta-
toes on Friday.
In 1916 snow came witha general
storm over the western states on Oct
10th. Two years ago it was earlier,
on Oct. 7th.

Ed ("Irish") and William Phalen

expecting to go before Judge Wick
ham there and enter pleas of guilty to
the charge of assault with the intent
to do great bodily harm i'm Connection
with the attack on the paper mill
workers.
This action has been the outcome of
a series of events which have occur
red since the arrest of Ed Phalen at
Park Falls two weeks ago. 1t was told
him then that he would probably have
little difficulty in getting bail here as
it had been easy for the other persons
held on the same charge. Also he was
to go back and take his job i'm the
paper mill there.
But he could not get bail here and
after visit by his wife to Park Falls,
the bondSmen were obtained. That was
on Tuesday, Oct. 2. On Thursday fol
lowing the bOndSmen at Park Falls
got cold feet and on Friday last no

drawn. Various reasons are given for
this action but it is stated that some
pressure was brought to bear and also
the bOndsmen whose names were print
ed exclusively i'm the News-Budget at
the time were told that the risk was
bad.
Last Friday Phalen was again ar
rested and landed as a bOarder with
Sheriff Dodson. He did not want to
remain there and await the courts
action here which might be several
weeks owing TO the Mccormick trial
intervening. Then his brother, Will
liam came into the game and agreed
also to go over to Eau Claire and en-
ter a plea of guilty. They left this
morning.
What the court did had not been
learned early enough for this issue Of
