HE PAYS $50 FOR ONE MUSKY
First Victim in Ladysmith of New
Fish and Game Law
Pays Fine

Under the new game law a fish
erman may only take two muskel
lunge in a day.
Herman Spresser had good luck
one day last week and caught three.
He had not read Chapter 66S of the
laws. There were several in the
party with Mr.. Spresser fishing in
the Flambeau. Evidently some one
squealed. Anyhow Game Warden l..
M. Soule got him and Mr.. Spresser
went before Justice Reeves where he
readily admitted his fishing prowess.
There was NO alternative for the
court. The minimum fine under the
new law for offenses is $50.
Spresser paid that amount for his
one musky and the costs. It's a
high priced fish.
The new game law spells 1t
"muskellunge" therefore this may be
termed the official spelling of the
name of this fish and will probably
be adopted generally.

DOGS DREAM OF GLORY ENDED
Mascot "Turk" Of Troop X Sent
Home in Disgrace, Fer Biting
Trooper
Turk is home.

Turk is home.
He went away amid tears and
cheers. music and marching, waving
flags. and the noise and tumult that
said farewell to his friends in Troop
X
For Turk was the mascot. 1t was
a proud day for him.
He came home in a Grated. prison
cell. tagged like cheese by ex-
press.
He had been tried for conduct un-
becoming a mascot, found guilty by
the drum-head court, martial and
sentenced to keep forever away
from army camps and army life.
Such tragic moments come even
into the life of a dog.
In his several years residence in
Ldaysmith Turk had not acquired a
reputation other than always being
a gentleman, playing the game of life
fair and square, and living UP to his
excellent training and always keep
ing the best company as became
dog of his social standing.
First Lieutenant Ralph Drum took
Turk down to Camp Douglas. The
dog was his, a bull, well-known in
Ladysmith and the boys had prac-
tically adopted him as their official
mascot
But somehow Turk did not like
one of the troopers in K. so in a
moment of anger the dog lost his
temper and bit the soldier.
Then there was great noise. The
power of the higher-ups was COM
mandeered by the bitten troopers
friends and relatives and Turk was
ordered abated.
So. Lieut. Drum shipped him to his
father and to the ignominy of the
conventional prosaic private life of
a town dog.

that effect.

DELEGATES ARRIVE
WISCONSIN STATE MISSIONARY
CONVENTION OPENS IT'S
SESSIONS THURSDAY
THE MUSIC IS A>SPEcIAL FEATURE
Distinguished Leaders in Christian
Church Here to Take Part in
the Program

When Rev. D. j. Howe called the
first session of the wisconsin State
Missionary Convention to order
Thursday evening, a host of dele
gates were present in the auditorium
of the Ladysmith Christian church.
The convention will close Sunday
evening.
This was the opening session Of
one of the most important gatherings
of the denomination in Wisconsin
this year.
Ladysmith with it's usual hosp1-
tality has made a pleasant welcome
to the visitors. While the total
number of delega ates is not large,
the attendance is even beyond expec-
tations.
There was one disappointment in
a telegram from F. w. Burnham, OF
Cincinnati, stating that he had
missed his train in Detroit and
would not be at the convention. He
is president of the American Chris
tian Missionary Association and had
a prominent place on. the program.
With the exception of Mr.. Burn
ham, the program as printed in the
News-Budget last Friday will be
carried out.
Last night T. M. Thomas, of Lady
smith, delivered an eloquent walcom-
ing address and Rev. J. w. Lari-
more, of Footville, preached mis-
sionary sermon. 1t was a 'get-ac-
quainted" session and after the ser
mon delegates registered and the
choir sang.
Under the direction of Miss Daisy
Carter, the church has been decorat-
ed with ferns and other plants; red,
white and blue streamers and the
American flag.
Delegates are being cared for in
the homes of the members. Dinner
and supper, the first at 35c and lat
ter 25c, are being served by the
ladies of the church in the basement
to delegates, visitors and to the pub
lie generally.
Excellent music is being furnished
by the church choir and volunteer
singers under the direction of Miss
Gertrude Yeager of the Moody Bible
Institute.
Saturday there is to be an automo-
bile ride about the city followed by
a basket picnic at the fair grounds.
Sunday evening closes the sessions.

HUNTERS GET READY
COUNTY CLERK ISSUING MANY
HUNTING LICENSES UNDER
THE NEW LAW
EACH MUST MAKE APPLICATION
New Wrinkles and Strings of Red
Tape.-Beaver May be Caught
in Rusk

Norman Vreeland, of Weyerhauser,
took out the first hunting license
for 1917 under the new state law
On Monday 81 licenses had been is
sued by County Clerk Munroe and
more swere being applied for daily.
Last year 1887 licenses were issued.
There were many changes in the
law made by the legislature last
winter. Subscribers to the News
Budget should turn to Chapter 66S
of the Law supplement- sent to them
last week and read what it says of
fish and game.
There are two kinds of licenses,
resident and nonresident.
The first are issued to citizens of
Wisconsin who have resided in the
state one year. The license fee is
81 90 and ten cents additional for
deer tag.
The application must be sworn to
before a notary or justice either sent
in Or applied for in person by the
applicant.
No license will be issued to any
one not a citizen of the United
States.
Some papers have printed the
statement that no one could get
license if he were not a resident of
~, a.. ia,
residents may secure a limited Ii
cense which does not permit the kill
ing of deer for a $25 fee, or full
general license for $50 to kill any
animal in season for one year.
OF the 21 licenses granted all but
one applicant got the deer tag, per-
mitting the hunter to ship deer.
Bear can only be killed from Nov.
10 to Dec. 1. No limit.
One deer may be killed from Nov.
|21 to Nov. 30, ten days of hunting
in the counties where any deer hunt
ing is permitted. This includes
Rusk.
Beaver may be caught or killed
in Rusk, sawyer and Price counties
from Dec. 1 to 81 in 1917 and 1918,
but there's a long string of red tape
about it. A special license for a fee
Of $3.50 must be obtained. All skins
must be sold before Jan. 20 follow
ing and carry special tag and
sworn statement of where, when and
how the beaver was killed, how, and
to whom the skin was sold.
II beaver dam causes anyone in
these counties to suffer damage he
can notify the game warden. Then
sit down and wait five days. At the
end of that period go out and "bust"
open the dam. No one in these
counties of Rusk, sawyer or Price,
may recover for any damages done
by beaver in 1917 or 1918.
There are a lot of other things
one may learn by perusing Chapter
66S of the statutes made and pro-
vided in the Wisconsin session
laws, about hunting and fishing.

CANTONMENT
FIRST DRAFTED MAN To GO
Will Close the Work of Rusk Coun-
ty Exemption Beard fer First
Draft

What is one-tenth of one drafted
man? If Rusk county'sl quota is two
men and five per cent of the quota is
called upon to be sent to a canton
ment what part of the two men go?
Any person having solved the prob
lem of ''HOw old is Ann" will kind
ly offer services to the Rusk county
exemption board
Monday morning County Clerk
Munroe who is also secretary OF
the exemption board, received orders
to send to Camp Grant, the new
cantonment at Rockford, ILL.,, five
per cent of the drafted quota in
Rusk county. The fact that these
men would go to Rockford was told
in last weeks News-Budget exclus-
lively.
Joseph Forchette, the first man
drafted, will it is expected be the
one to go If he is not passed Nc
-Glothlin will take his place and in
case he is physically incapacitated,
Cote will have a chance.
County Clerk Munroe received no.
tice from the government wednesday
that McGlothlin could go to a camp
nearer Utah than Rockford and Rusk
county would receive credit for him
as though he went from here.
The work of the exemption board
for the first draft will practically
close with the sending of Forchette
to the cantonment at Rockford.
Prange, of Fond du Lac has been
certified to his county and there is
no other business before the board.
Mr.. Munroe Immediately wrote for
information as to how many men,
one or two the order of Gen. Crow
der for five per cent would require.
When the drafted men are notified
they will present themselves to the
local board on Monday or Tuesday
next to receive instructions. In the
case of MclGothlin he will go be-
fore the board in Utah. Each will
be handed railroad tickets and meal
tickets. They will travel in day
cOaches.l
All the local board has to do is
to tell the men what train to take.
A representative of the board will
be at the station to see that the
men ordered out report and are en-
trained. If man fails to show up
a military guard will he sent after
him and he win be arrested as a
desarter.
The men will be permitted to take
with them these things: Extra un-
derwear tooth brush, tooth paste,
comb and brush, fresh handkerchlefs.
They will not be allowed to have
any more baggage; they may bring
no food with them.
If he is rejected as physically un-
fit after the rigid examination at
the post, the drafted man, will be
given a ticket and sent home Then
the Rusk county and other boards
where the rejected man comes from
will be wired to pick another man
and send him on. 1t is expected
that ten per cent will be rejected
