WILL end FISHING
Storm Of Monday Will Put an End to
Fishing Industry Of
Lake Superior.

Mondays storm will probably
just about wind up the herring
fishing season in Chequamegon
bay as the wind may stir up the
water sufficiently to drive the
fish to The bottom of the lake
where they cannot be reached by
nets. The batch this fall has
been unusually large but the
price has not been very high,
the big companies paying the in
dependent fishermen $50 per ton
or l 1-2 cents per pound, just as
the fish are taken from the
water. The largest independent
fisherman on Chequamegon bay
is j. O. Bodin of Houghton, and
his brother comes next with the
Severtson boys next. 10. Bodin
has had four nets in commission
all season, which has lasted
about fifteen days, and his total
catch will amount to about
eighteen tons, while Elner's
catch will total about five tons.
The former operates with a large
gasoline launch and the latter
has a good sized boat equipped
with a gasoline engine. These
boys have fished in the waters Of
Chequamegon bay for the past
fifteen years with good success.

Ideal Hunting Conditions Prevailed
in the Woods
Hunters Say Deer We're Never More
Plentiful and Hundreds
Have Been Killed.

According to reports so far
this season the deer hunters GO
ing from this city have had un-
usual luck and many of them got
their quota the first day out, and
have had to spend the balance Of
the time rusticating around the
camp, cutting wood and doing
the cooking for the less for
tunate. The territory west of
here, along the Northern Pacific,
has been pretty well lined with
hunters and there is a large
number of camps all through the
woods where the hunters are
domiciled. The snow coming
Monday morning has helped
hunters a lot in pursuit of their
game.

Fire Started in Office of County
Clerk Tuesday
Presumably from Match Thrown in
Waste Basket. Slight
Damage Done.

There came very near being a
disastrous fire in the court house
Tuesday morning, and but for
the timely discovery Of the same
the court house would now be a
wreck. Fire broke out from
some unknown cause, probably a
match thrown in a waste basket
under one of the big desks in the
county clerks Office, the room at
the time being unoccupied,
and when discovered the
desk was a mass of flames.
The fire was discovered by Nels
Myhre, who rushed to the base
ment to get pals and water to
put out the blaze. A. w. Mac
Leod, who came down stairs
from the court room to get some
papers, also found the fire going
at a brisk rate and Immediately
notified Judge Risjord, who ad-
journed court, and all went to
the scene Of the fire. An alarm
was not turned in, but judge,
lawyers, officials and assistants
in general, all pitched in with
a vigor, pals and tubs were
brought into requisition and soon
the entire volunteer fire depart
ment was actively at work in an
effort to quench the blaze. The
room was so full of smoke and
the heat so intense that it was
almost impossible to get near the
fire, but water was carried from
the basement and thrown on the
burning desk, and the fire was
soon under control. The desk is
a total wreck. the drawers and
contents badly burned, while
the wall and ceiling is badly
damaged in spots by the fire and
smoke. AS soon as the excite
ment was over the judge and
everybody else returned to the
court room and circuit court re-
sumed. The fire was confined
to the county clerks office, and
the damage will probably not
exceed five hundred dollars.

Has Fine War Record But Deserted
from the Army
Caught on Farm at Indian Reservation
and Taken in Charge of
by officials.

Alex Cadotte, a resident Of
the Odanah reservation who de-
serted from the u. S. service at
Camp Grant six months ago, was
caught by Sheriff Ecklo and the
Indian Police on John Bresette's'
farm on the reservation Sunday.
Cadotte has an estimable war
record, he was a heroic and dar.
ing soldier, but the fact that he
deserted wipes this all away.
He deserted Camp Grant last
spring and came up to Odanah.
A guard was sent up from Camp
Grant and Cadotte was captured.
Cadotte asked the guard for the
privilege of going home to change
his clothes which was readily
granted. The guard accom-
panied him and waited down
stairs while Cadotte attended to
his packing up stairs.
After waiting for a very long
time the guard began looking
around for his prisoner urging
him to hurry, but to his amaze
ment he found the entire house
empty. Evidently Cadotte had
jumped out of the second story
back window and made for the
woods.
Ever since that time the gov
ernment authorities have been
on the lookout for the deserter
and he was just found Sunday.
The sheriff wired to Camp
Grant the news of the capture
and the return wire stated that
2 guard would be Immediately
sent from the Camp.
Cadotte will be tried at the
Camp under military authority.

The regular November term of

which has been in session since
November 10th, will probably be
closed shortly as about all the
cases on the calendar have been
disposed of. On the criminal
calendar the case against Richard
West for wife desertion was
nolled as the defendant did not
appear. and that against George
Hughes vas continued, the de-
fendant being out on bail. George
Bacich. charged with burglary,
took a change of venue and his
case will be tried later by anoth.
er judge. and the case against
Carl r. Everd. for larceny. was
continued for the term. The
case against Clyde Mcdonald,
for larceny, was nolled, the de-
fendant forfeiting his bail. and
John A. Bransky was acquitted
/ of the charge of burglary. Erick
w. Gidloff was acquitted on the
charge of slander: Freling
Young's case for desertion of
family is pending. ard Frank
Schuster was convicted of assault
and given a sentence Of thirty
days in the county Jail. and
Elmer Swansc Y was convicted
of selling liqe Or without q Ii
fcense.
In the jury-civil section one of
the most important and interest
ing cases tried was that of
Robert Curr against the Globe
Shipbuilding Co. of Superior, in
which he secured a verdict for
about $1,000 for services rem
dered. C. F. Morris of this city
was attorney for Mr.. Curr, and

defendant. Mr.. Curr is an ex-
pert shipbuilder and alleged that
his case was instituted for the
purpose of collecting wages for
services rendered in changing
the plans and blue prints of two
ships that the company built.
Several expert witnesses were
examined and afund of valuable
information was revealed re-
regarding the planning and
building of ships.
Another important matter be-
fore the court was q batch of
ten cases of property owners
along Bayfield,, Third and Fourth
streets east. against the Gray

NaD:sowoc, to set aside the
assessment made by the city for
the payment of the charges for
putting in the sewer along the
