RESULT NOT SERIOUS

Margaret Mary veith, age five, was
struck by lightning at noon today and
for time thought dead by her rela-
tives. The girl is the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. George A. Veith, who live on
the Main street road.
The bolt came out of an almost
clear sky. There was no storm at the
time, said Mrs. Yeith. There was a
sudden crash" said she. "and when
looked toward the gate where Mar
garet had gone to gather vegetables
for dinner, / saw a cloud OF dust
rising. She was trying to get up and
l ran to her. Then she became un-
conscious and for time we thought
her dead"
A Keokuk physician was called to
the Veith home and said that the
shock to the girl would not prove serf-
Gus. One OF her shins was badly hurt
when the child was thrown to the
ground.

Chief Of Police Joe Arsenaeu

to follow unless the licenses are
obtained. Mr.. Arseneau says

Will Not Be Reap
pointed.

The Wisconsin Tax Commits
sion has concluded not to reap
point William Landraint as In
come Tax Assessor for the dis
trict comprising the counties of
Ashland, Bayfield, and Iron.
This decision was the result of
q hearing conducted at Ashland
last week by the Tax Commission
in which Landraint was charged
with making disloyal statements
against the United States gov
ernment.
The letter received by Ashland
people from the Tax Commission
says: After giving careful
consideration to the evidence adj.
Quoted on the Landraint hearing
the commission has reached the
conclusion that the public inter-
ests will best be served by the
appointment of someone other
than Mr.. Landraint."
For some time there has been
great effort made to have Lam
draint removed on account of
his views upon the war and the
United States government. The
fact that he has been a good tax
assessor cannot be disputed, but
the time has come when men
who are not heart and soul with
the government in this war
should not be kept in public
Office and the dismissal of Lam
draint will be in accordance with
the wish of a great many people.
