areop|ane which is playing such
wonderful part in this world
war and is destined to play
even B greater part, has to
start its fight on wheels. In

are n1klly torn up, and motor

transportation of both soldiers

be moved and moved quickly too,

these wheels are required large
quantities of hickory rims and
spokes. some ash and oak.
II is interesting to know that
one of our local plants, T. W.
Minton & Son, better known as
"Minton Hickory Mills" are turn
ing out large quantities of spokes
and rims for trucks and gun
carriages for government use.
The latest order was by wire for
large artillery wheel rims for
3-inch and 4-inch gun carriages.
The government has ordered a
large quantity of these from an
eastern concern, and our local
plant will furnish the rims for a
large number of them, as they
are giving preference to these
government orders above all

STATE BOARD HERE ON CASE
Industrial Commission Takes Test-
mony on Death cf L. Whit
comb

A brief hearing was held in the
court house Tuesday by the. state
Industrial Commission, taking tes-
timony in the action of Mrs. l.. Whit
comb VS.. John Vasey for $4,000 dam
ages for the death of her husband.
Vasey is insured in the Employers
Mutual Liability Assurance Corpora
ton, of Milwaukee, which is the real
defendant in the case.
Whitcomb was employed by John
Vasey, of Menomonie, Wis, a veal
thy farmer and lumber jobber who
had a contract with the Flambeau
River Lumber CO. The Ladysmith
Co. is not involved in the suit.
/ Whitcomb's home was in Barron
county, where his widow and chill
dren now live.
Whitcomb's story was printed
exclusively in the News-Budget of
June 1, and the testimony at the
hearing corroborated it in detail.
He was found in the Vasey camp
on Sec. IA, five miles north of the
Hackett road suffering from the
serious effects of a fall while peel
ing bark
DR.. Johnson, of Glen Flora, was
secured at the instance of B. MOks-
nes and others and performed an op-
GRAFTON. 1t was too late however.
Six weeks had elapsed since the in
jury.
Whitcomb had been badly hurt,
having fallen astride of a tree. A
party of men from Cedar Rapids
carried him from the shack, five
miles through the woods and he was
sent to the poor house. He died
the following day, May "a.
1t was the opinion of DR.. John
son that had he received surgical aid
at once, Whitcomb would have been
alive today But he was in his
shack alone except for his young
son, Edwin, whose testimony was
the most important at the hearing
on Wednesday.
