Results in Broken Arm and Smashed
Hand.
Accident Occurred at Mill Of Kenfield-
LamOreaux Company
Saturday.

Charles L. Olson, foreman of
the Kenfeld-Lamoreaux Com
pany mill in this city, met with
an accident last Saturday morn
ing which will perhaps lay him
up for a time.
Something was causing trouble
with the main drive belt which
is located underneath the mill
and Mr.. Olson went down to see
what was causing the trouble.
In passing a pulley his overall
jacket came in contact with the
belt and his arm was drawn in,
making the round of the pulley
before he could get away.
The two bones in his right arm
were broken and the wrist was
also injured. His hand was
quite badly cut and crushed.
1t is likely that the accident will
lay him up for some little time.

If Kaiser Bill and his bunch
Of roughnecks have any fear ol
weight and size of men, then the

height while all weighed in the
neighborhood of 200 pounds.
Otto Geisert and Edward

Defeated RentrOp

Jack Hagensick, the Barks-
dale wrestler, met and defeated
Charles Rentrop of Chicago in
wrestling match staged at the
Majestic Theatre at Ashland on
Tuesday evening. The first fall
was secured in an hour and
seven minutes and the second
fall in 45 minutes.
The match was one of the best
ever staged in this region. Both
men worked hard for a fall but
the Chicago man could not break
away from the Barksdale police
mans grip when he secured a
combined body scissors, head
and toe hold.
The hold was such as to MAKE
Rentrop cry out with pain and
he gave his opponent fall.
Hagensick's s stock as wrestler
has gone up 100 per cent since
his matches with Sanders and
Renthrop and the boys at tho
plant are willing to back him
against almost anyone of his
size.

Elected Over Henry Johnson in
Tuesday Election
James A. Sheridan Elected Assessor
Over N. E. Farnham,
Socialist.

The entire Socialist ticket, so
far as they had candidates in
the field, went down to defeat
in Tuesdays election, and non
partisan candidates were elected
in every instance.
George F. Morgan, endorsed
by the business men of the city,
won out over Henry Johnson by
a vote of pol to 204. Morgan's S
home ward gave him a handsome
endorsement of 112 votes to 3S
for Johnson and Morgan carried
every other ward in the city
with the exception of the third.
In this ward Johnson had 40 to
80 for Morgan.
Neither of the candidates did
the least bit of work for them
selves, being content to leave
the work to their friends.
In the race for Assessor James
A. Sheridan, the Commercial
Club candidate, easily defeated
N. E. Farnham, socialist, carry
ing every ward. Farnham made
a very poor showing in every
ward.

LENROOT Sv7 IS
FOR lied
4
Usual Vote Z Throughout the
State j s4tOrial Election
Dayie Second and Berger Third.
.enrOOt Gets Nice Vote
Here.

Irvine L. Lenroot, Republican,
will be the next United States
Senator from Wisconsin accord
ing to returns from the election
held on Tuesday. Lenroot made
a great race, making great gains
over his primary vote and when
official returns are all in it is be-
lieved that he will have from
$4,000 to 10000 lead over Joe
Davies, the Democratic candi-
date.
The campaign conducted by
the Republican candidate was a
very clean one while the Demo
cratic campaign savored much of
mud singing, which was resent
ed by the voters of the state.
Berger, the socialist candidate
received a substantial vote but
nowhere enough to bring him
into the running with the other
candidates.
BY the election Wisconsin has
shown to the world that this
state is just as loyal as any
other state, although it has been
thought otherwise on account OF
the action of some of our legis
lative officers. The combined
vote of Lenroos and Davies, both.
loyalty candidates was more
than 250,0O0 while the Berger
vote which was composed of
socialists and pro-germans, paci-
fists, etc., was less than 10000.
Lenroot carried every ward in
the city and every precinct in
the county. His vote in Wash
burn was 300 to 125 for Davies
and 67 for Berger.

Coat Of Tar and Feathers Applied
TO Ashland Professor
Taken from Room by Masked Men and
Stripped Of Clothing
and Tarred.

Professor E. A. Schimler' OF
the Northland College at Ash
land, who was born in Germany
but who is said to be an Amerl-
can citizen, was handled quite
roughly at Ashland on Sunday
evening by adozen or so masked
men when he was removed from
his rooming place and taken to
the outskirts Of the city where ne
was stripped of his clothing and
was given a coat OF tar and
feathers.
The men arrived at Schimler,s
stopping place at about twelve
o'clock where he was taken from
the room and placed in a waiting
automobile and conveyed to a
lonely spot near the city. After
being stripped Of his clothing
Schimler was treated to a coat
Of tar and feathers which it is
said proved rather difficult to
remove.
The men who committed the
job are said to have acted in an
orderly manner, and after COM
pleting the job jumped into
waiting automobiles and made
their escape.
Schimler found his under
clothing which he put on again
and made for Ashland and when
he arrived at his boarding place

Drys Have a Majority of Ninety
Votes.
Saloons Will Go Out on July 1St. Bay
field Also Remains in the
Dry Region.
Nunnber5 80

After one of the most strenu-
Gus campaigns ever waged in
the history of Ashland our sister
city across the bay threw off
the yoke of the licensed saloon
at Tuesdays election and decided
to join the dry column.
1t was a mighty interesting
contest and was hotly waged by
both sides and great deal of
credit for the success is to be
given to the Ashland Daily
Press, DR.. j. M. Dodd, President
Of the Dry League, Manager
Irvine Nye, and others for the
great work which was done.
A year ago Ashland voted on
the same proposition and re-
NAMED wet by majority of
more than four hundred. For
this reason the wet advocates
figured that it would be a hard
proposition to make Ashland
dry this spring. Nevertheless
during the last few weeks they
have waged a mighty campaign,
using every conceivable argu-
ment, even hauling in the fair
name Of Washburn as an ex-
ample of what the result was of
the city going dry.
The truth of the condition
here was afterwards given pub
licity through the statements of
many prominent business men
of this city, published in the
Ashland Press and these letters
are said to have had great effect
on the Ashland voters.
Bayfield, also voted on the
license proposition but the vets
there were given such a defeat
that they will not likely attempt
a vote on the proposition again.
With Ashland going dry this
now gives a dry area around the
Chequamegon bay. There will
be no more debauchery on the
trains running between Ashland
and this city.
Iron River and Barnes are now
the only wet places in Bayfield,
county and the saloon radius
from Ashland has been extended
so far that persons will have to
be mighty thirsty in order to go
out for booze.
Northern Wisconsin is rapidly
drying up and the next move
ment should be a ratification of
the prohibition amendment
which will dry up the United
States.

FOCH At PRAYER
YANK SOLDIER WITNESSED THE
ALLIED COMMANDER AT
DEVOTIONS.

Los Angeles Times: A California
boy-Evans by name-with the
American expeditionary forces in
France, has recently written a letter
to his parents In San Bernardino in
which he tells of meeting Gen. Foch
at close range in France.
Evans had gone into an old church
to have a look at 1t, and as he stood
there with barred head satisfying his
respectful curiosity. a gray man with
the eagles of a general on the collar
of his shabby uniform also entered
the church.
Only n orderly accompanies the
quiet. gray man. No glittering staff
of officers, no encourage of gold
laced aids were with him! Nobody
but just the orderly.
Evans paid small attention at first
to the gray man. but was curious to
see him kneel in the church, pray
ing. The minutes passed until full
three-quarters of an hour had gone
by before the gray man arose from
his knees.
Then Evans followed him down
the street and was surprised to see
soldiers salute this man in great ex-
citement, and women and children
stopping in their tracks with awe
struck faces as he passed.
IL was Foch. And now Evans, of
San Bernardino. counts the expert
ence as the greatest in his life.
During that three-quarters of an
hour that the generalissimo of all
the Allied armies was on his knees
in humble supplication in that
quiet church. 10000 guns were roar
ing at his word on a hundred hills
that rocked with death.
Millions of armed men crouched in
trenches or rushed across blood
drenched earth at his command. gem
erals and field marshals, artillery.
cavalry, engineers. tanks, fought and
wrought across the map of Europe
as he commanded them to
do, and In no other manner, as he
into that little church to pray.
Nor was II an unusual thing for
Gen. Foch to do. There Is no day
that he does not do the same thing
II there be a church that he can
reach. He lever fails to spend an
hour on his knees every morning that
awakes from sleep, and every
night II is the same.
Moreover. II is not a new thing
with him. He has done ii his whole
life.
