Roy Anderson to Meet Jack Hagen
sick at the Opera House
Great Interest in Coming Event. Hagen
sick is an Unknown
Quantity.

Tomorrow night the wrestling
fans of this city and vicinity will
be given an opportunity of wit
Messing one of the best wrestling
cards ever staged in the north
west. The main event in this
match will be between Roy An
derson, who put up a great bat
tie against Elmer Sanders a
short time ago, and Jack Hagen
sick, the Barksdale policeman
who recently came here from
Milwaukee.
This match will on the basis of
the winner take all which means
that both boys will go their limit
to win. The boys are said to be
in the very best of condition for
the match.
Both boys seem to have a good
deal of backing. Anderson is
known as one of the toughest
birds that has ever come to
Washburn. He is as quick as a
cat and knows the game from
start to finish. He has made an
excellent showing in his other
matches. Hagensick is new
man in this locality. He is now
a member of the Barksdale
Police force. Those who have

Appeal Taken in the Now Famous
Barksdale Election Case
Supreme Court of Wisconsin to Decide
Who is Entitled to Barksdale
Chairmanship

The question as to whether
the guards employed at the Du-
Pont plant at Barksdale are
legally entitled to vote at the
town elections will be finally de-
termined by the state supreme
court according to the notice of
appeal filed by the plaintiff in
the case of Lee Catlin against
Pat Galligan.
Galligan defeated Catlin for
town chairman last spring by
one vote. Catlinl claimed that
the guards at the Dupont plant
voted for Galligan and that they
were not legally entitled to vote
as they were only temporary
residents of the town, during
their employment as guards,
and had no legal residence. The
Dupont company maintains a
large barracks where they house
their guards. and in which the
guards sleep and eat.
The case was tried at the Nov
ember term of circuit court for
Bayfield, county and Judge Ris-
jord held that Galligan was le-
gally elected, thus sustaining
the contention of the Galligan's
attorney that the guards were
legally entitled to psete, that is
those guards who were unmarried
and make their home in the COM
pany barracks.
The attorneys for Catlin will
make an effort to have the case
passed upon by the supreme
court before the next election as
it is understood that Catlin and
Galligan will each be a candidate
for the office of chairman at the
April election this spring.

About the Coal

The following article written
by a Milwaukee man to one of
the Milwaukee papers very just
ly applies to the coal furnished
almost any place during the past
season and Washburn is no ex-
|ception to the general rule.
There is sound meat in the ar
gument.
Editor, Free Press: | would
like to give our fuel admins
traitor Mr.. Fitzgerald, a tip on
how to save on the coal PROPOSE
ton. Suppose he make it a
point to see that the coal shipped
to us next season will not consist
of one quarter part stone, just
pure unadulterated rocks which
will not burn" The consumer
can save just one quarter of his
coal bill. The railroads need
haul one-quarter the less coal.
Eliminating one car out of every
four, or one trainload out of
every four, or one shipload out
of every four, and railroads need
haul one-quarter the less rocks.
l can see no sense in shipping
stone from the far away coal
fields to us here which may be
had from the stone quarries just
west of the city and which l am
sure will burn just as well as
the stuff we all got mixed with
our coal this winter.

dleweight champion of the world
but he has the backing of the
men of his home town Viola,
Wis. to meet champion again
and his home folks are willing to
stake $500 that he can now de-

former champion has steadily
ignored who seems willing to

Anderson has been putting in
the week at Ashland training
for the match and expects to
come out the victor in tomorrow

There has been some betting
on the match but the odds SO far
seem to be even. The Barksdale

tween Frank Evans of Barksdale
and Glen Hagensick, brother and

boys weigh about $50 pounds
and both are as speedy as they
make them. Evans has defeated
a lot of men in this vicinity and
is considered a good boy IN the

have to be a good one to defeat
the Barksdale man. This match
will go one fall.

Picture

On the morning of February 21st,
1918, just after the early dawn, with
the sun shining across the campus,
bright seven-year old Canadian boy
was escorted into Mooseheart with
swapping eyes and smiling face, his
little square shoulders were draped
with Canadian flag, the flag his
father had fought and died for in the
trenches of-Flanders.
This young orphan child boy had
arrived at his own future home and
proudly he walked under the great
parental roof into the outstretched
arms of Superintendent Adams.
If it had been possible for every
member of our great Mooseheart
army to have witnessed this most
beautiful realization of the challenge
our Order is giving to the World in
volving the sacred promise from. the
birth to manhood and womanhood so
lovingly demonstrated in this par
entail act, there never would be
another ,unbelieving thought in the
minds of any of our $4,000 MEM
bers towards Mooseheart.
The name of this boy is Westwell
Shuttleworth. He came from Win
nepeg, Manitoba, Canada. His
father, Westwell Shuttleworth, was
a member of Winnepeg Lodge No.
S16, Loyal Order of Moose. Age
forty. He was killed in action in
Flanders, November lst, 1917.
District Deputy Supreme Dictator,
ID. A. Mcclellan. was responsible for
the safe arrival of Westwell al
Mooseheart.

Reports His Safe Arrival at an
Irish Port
Was on TuScania When She Was Tor
pedoed by German
Submarine.

Mrs. Charles Wiley has just
received a letter direct from her
son Asa r. Wiley, dated Lon
donderry, Ireland, Feb. 9th, 1913
informing his parents of his safe
arrival at that port at 5 O'Clock
a. m.
Asa r. Wiley was on the Tus-
cania when the boat was tor
pedoed off the Irish coast by a
German submarine, as was also
Fred Casperson. Fred McCutch-
con, Charles Joanis, and DR.. IL.
l. Lewis, all of this city.
Asa paid the highest tribute to
the Irish and British sergeants
saying that he never met a finer
bunch of fellows. He also
stated that he expected to be in
France in the very near future.
Asa said his brother sergeants
tried to guess his age. One
guessed him to be thirty-five
years old and another thirty
eight, which was due to several
days growth of beard. Asa told
them that maybe he had lived
ten days during the last two
days. He writes "Am feeling
rather tired tonight as | only had
about one hours sleep in the
last sixty hours. | cannot say
why didn't get more sleep. l
wonder if you can imagine where
/ was?"
Have just had tea, and
will add that l am enjoying the
best of health and never felt
better in my life than at present.
Tell Fred Casperson's folks that
he arrived O. K. with me-"
Asa Wiley is a Sergeant in
the Supply company of the 32nd
division and is now in France
fighting for the cause of democra-
cy. He enlisted as a volunteer in
the Bayfield, county company,
later being transferred to the
Supply company.

Making Progress

Harvey Irish. chairman Of tn,
Bayfield, County Soldiers Boys
Tobacco Fund committee has
been busy the past week send
ing out letters to different parts
of the county organizing his
forces for a drive for the fund
which will be made during the
month.
The plan is to form one cen.
tral organization in Bayfield,
county which will supply the
boys from Bay field county with
tobacco and cigarettes during
the time they are IN the service
Of the United States army or
navy. The plan is to make this
a permanent fund, thereby in.
suring the boys at the front of
steady supply of smokes and
not to have the supplies going
forth at uncertain times as
would have been the plan with
different organizations working
along the same line.
The Dupont Protective Asso
citation, composed of workmen
employed at the plant of the
DUPONT company, have come
forward with their offer to do
nate $3.50 per month toward the
permanent fund and others have
signified their willingness of al
so making an appropriation
which will be forthcoming
monthly as long as the war
lasts.
Tobacco is said to be q scarce
article i'm France and unless the
home folks take some means OF
supplying the boys with tobacco
there will be many times in
their camps when they will be
without smokes.
With the Bayfield, county or.
ganization it is the plan to take
care of every Bayfield, county
boy. 1t worthy cause and one
that goes direct to our boys and
everyone should donate to the
fund. Fifty cents pledged TO
the fund will purchase almost
two times as much tobacco as
this amount would ordinarily
purchase. There is hardly a
person who cannot afford to
give this am cunt to the perma-
nent tobacco fund. Subscrip-
tions can be for warded to the
Bay field County Bank, Wash
burn, Wis.

POULTRY

The Department of Agricul-
ture is now opening campaign
urging farmers to refrain from
selling hens from the 1st OF
February to the first of May,
and at the same time is request
ing buyers to refrain from buy
ing hens during that time. Ev-
cry hen which is sold before the
1st of May represents a food
loss to the nation of about thirty
eggs. The total loss of eggs repre-
sented by the customary selling
of hens between the lst Of Feb
ruary and the 1st of May
amounts to about 150,000,000
eggs. The value of these eggs
is worth 80 per cent of what the
hen is actually worth, so that
this program does not entail a
loss to the farmer but an actaul
gain. In accordance with this
campaign all dealers in poultry
and eggs are forbidden between
February II, 1918 and April Is,
1918, to purchase, ship. sell or
negotiate the sale of any live Or
freshly killed hens or pullets.
This rule shall not prevent the
purchase, shipment or sale of
live hens or pullets for egg pro.
duction purposes. We hope
that full publicity will be given
to this program and that the
foregoing recommendation will
be carefully observed.
MUTTON and LAMB
Because of surplus of mutton
and lamb these meats may be
used on meatless Tuesday until
April Is, 1918.
SUGAR
We desire to advise house
wives and others interested that
they will undoubtedly be able
to obtain their full necessary re-
quirements Of sugar for usage
in preserving purposes during
the coming season. It is be-
lieved that ample supplies OF
sugar will be available for all
necessary preservation pur-
poses. Shipments from Cuba
are steadily increasing.

London Daily Chronicle by Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle, will be endorsed by
many of our readers.
Sir: l am in full agreement that it
is our W nerveless policy which ex-
poses Us to the outrages of the Huns.
They will do what they think they
can DO with impunity, and they will
avoid that which entails punishment.
When Miss Cavell was shot we should
at once have shot our three leading
prisoners. When Captain Fyatt was
murdered we should have executed
two submarine captains. These are
the arguments which the German
mentality can understand. Two years
ago you allowed me to plead in your
columns for the bombing of the Rhine
towns, and now, when at last it is
partly done, we at once hear the crv
for a truce in such warfare-the very
result l had predicted. But alas for
the two wasted years! Now we have
to deal with the bombing of hospi-
tails. German prisoners should at once
be picketed among the tents, and the
airmen captured should be shot, with
a notice that such will be the fate of
all airmen who are captured in such
attempts. We have law and Justice or
our side. If they attempt a reprisal,
then u wi counter-reprisals must
be sharp, stern and relentless. If we
are to have war to the knife, then let
