There will only be one candi.

County Superintendent of
schools at the coming srring
election, Miss Jessie N. Smith

been unopposed at each election.

Body Found in Ruins of Building at
Iron River
Indications Of a Struggle Before Death
Revealed After Iron
River Fire.

Foul play is suspected in con-
nection with the death of Billy
Butt, an Iron River colored res
taurant man. whose remains
were found in the charred ruins
of the 7. F. Mackmiller store
building which burned early
Sunday morning. Blood was
found on the floor near the body
and there were other indications
of a struggle. Butt is believed
to have had considerable money.
He was roomer over the Mack
miller store.
Most of the contents Of the
Mackmiller store, in which tele-
phone and electrical supplies
were stored, were saved from
the fire, origin of which is un-
known. The building was an
old frame building. a landmark

No Candidate, to Oppose Present
Assessor Sheridan at Special
Election.

A bungle seems to have been
made by the so-called taxpayers
league in their effort to recall
the present Assessor James A.
Sheridan through their failure to
comply with the law as to the
time for the filing Of the nomi-
nation papers for the candidate
to oppose Mr.. Sheridan.
At a meeting of the League
held last Saturday evening at
the Commercial Club it was un-
animously decided to support DR..
j. r. Mitchell, and it is under
stood that Mr.. Mitchell is said TO
have expressed his willingness
to make the run against Mr..
Sheridan in the recall election.
Nomination papers were cir
culated and an attempt was
made to file them with the City
Clerk on Monday morning of
this week but the petitioners
were appraised of the fact that
the time for filing nomination
papers for the recall election had
expired and that the papers
could not be filed.
The law governing the pro-
ceedure for recall elections pro-
vides that candidates for election
at the recall shall file their nomi-
nation papers at least thirty
days before the date fCss SAN
election and in case there is
more than one candidate in addi-
ton to the candidate whose re-
call is sought, primary must
be held.
The city clerk, IN refusing to
file the nomination papers, claims
that the time for filing nomina-
tion papers had elapsed on Sat-
urday, the 10th, and in this opin-
ion the legal department of the
city has agreed. Therefore Mr..
Sheridan will be the only cam
didate at the recall election.

Verdict for $751;, ,154 Against Frank
BOutin
Case Was Tried Before the Federal
Court. Brought by County and
City Of Bayfield,.

A telegram received from Eau
Claire yesterday was to the
effect that the big income tax
suit, wherein the city and county
of Bayfield, were suing Frank
Boutin, formerly of Bayfield,,
for the amount of the income
tax for the year 1916 amounting
to $35, 900, had been won by the
plaintiffs.
The case has been on trial be-
fore the Federal court at Eau
Claire during the past week and
the telegram states that the jury
after being out 40 minutes,
brought in averdict for Bayfield,
county and the city of Bayfield,
against Frank Boutin for $751;
154.00.
Twenty per cent OF this amount
will go to Bayfield, county, 70
per cent to the city Of Bayfield,,
and ten per cent the state.
The case was tried in the cir
cult court in Bayfield, county
appealed to the Supreme court
here judgment was sustained
and later transferred to the Fed
eral court, where it has again
been decided.
Boutin's contention was that
the income was earned outside
of the stata2tg Wisconsin and
was therefore not taxable in the
state.

Some Score

"Pinky" Scamfer holds the
record for the Y. M. G.. A. Bowl
ing alley for the month of March
with 284 pins for single game.
This is record that will prob
ably stand for some tine. In
making this Eigh score Scamfer
started out with o spare in the
first frame, striking out the
balance Of the frames and max
ing one additional strike. falling
down on the last ball. There
were many present when the
game was boWled and all say the
strikes were perfect ones, with
the exception Of one. AS 300 is
a perfect score in ten pins the
score made by Scamfer is one
that will probably stand fol
some time to come. The high
est previous score was 257, made
by Charles Wolff and L. B
George.

Walter Milberg's aggregation,
who have been holding down a
cellar position since the league
started, redeemed themselves
last Friday night when they
came back again and pulled off
a sensational game in which they
picked up the high score for any
team in the league series. Mill
berg and his team started out
with the expectations of carrying
the lead but they will now be
content with bringing up the
rear. 1t has been a case of too
much over-training for the Mil
berg aggregation and since they
have given up extensive practice
they intend to do better.
Oistad's team has at least two
things cinched-one the BOBBY
prize for lowest score and the

ers, showing the audience that
a game could be played clean
and yet won easily when the
p ayers put forth their best
efforts. There is one thing
about the "Y' team that is
noticeable and that is that every
member endeavers to work Team
work instead of individual style
of playing and this is what gives
them lead over other teams
that are not so well organized.
It was good article of ball
that was played last Saturday
night. The Iron River boys
came over with the intention OF
evening up honors as a result OF
their defeat by the "Y'' team at
Iron River and they played a
good game, but could not deliver
the goods to bring a victory.
The game, although one-sided,
was interesting and was free of
football tactics. 1t was won and

audience present was well salts

That Little Game

legged burgomaster of New
Amsterdam, who was considered
some crack bowler in his day
never sweat. stewed or fumed
more over a match game in the
days of 1647 than did John Glib
son, captain of Gibson's colts, in
match game rolled with Char
ley VOLTS aggregation at the
Y. M. G.. A. alleys last Thursday
evening.
Charles Wolff, as everyone
knows, holds the king pin posi-
tion in the "Y" bowling league
and the percentage as marked
up for his team remains the
same as it did at the beginning
of the league series, being 1000.
Naturally everyone wants to see
Charles and his gang receive the
hook in the shape of a drubbing
and Johnny's team started out
to turn the trick last Thursday
night. John Gibson walked into
the bowling alleys with that con-
fident smile upon his countenance
which as much as said watch us
tonight and from the way he
started out in the first game the
spectators believed that he really
meant business and so did the
members of his team.
It is said that our friend John
ny had spent a good many spare
minutes at the alleys during the
week getting in shape for the
contest and the way he started
out indicated that he had re-
ceived the proper amount Of
training.
In bowling John somewhat

Either Johns sighting was
poor or he was overtrained for
after the first game in which he
rolled 176 he went all to pieces
and almost collapsed in a heap
when he learned that through
his fault alone his team had gone
down to defeat and the Wolves
percentage still remained at 100.
In base ball league captains
have a practice of selling a play
er when he is not delivering the
the goods and this is what would
have happened to Johnny had
the members of his team had
their say, but explanations ga
lore upon the part of the captain
and his great sorrow
over having lost the game
have caused the members
of his team to reconsider and
they have forgiven their capain
for his awful score.
Gibson's team, with the ex-
ception Of the Captain, rolled an
average of 151 and better
and won two of the three games
rolled, but lost the contest by 81
pins.
The score was as follows:
Gibson 824, 748, 872--2444
Wolff 8O3, 954. 8l8--2475
Tn defense of Mr.. Gibson's
poor showing in the above game
we can say that the Captain has
a good record for the league
series, but because of the inter-
est in having the Wolff team
pulled down a notch, spectators
have had a hard time to forgive
and forget.
