LEGS BROKEN IN FALL
VIM. Weiland Falls Fifty-four
Feet at Ironwood-Both his
Legs Broken and Internal
ly Injured.

A distressing accident happen
ed to VIM. Weiland at Ironwood
last week, in which it is told by
the Hurley newspaper in the fol
lowing article. Weiland was
formerly a citizen of Eagle River:
William Weiland, who pitched
ball for the Ironwood and Hur-
ley ball teams during the present
season, had a narrow escape
from death Wednesday of last
week at the "E" shaft trestle OF
the Aurora mine. Weiland fell
6tty-four feet from the top of the
trestle to the ground and broke
both of his legs and received
slight internal injuries.
The accident, although serious.
was one of the most fortunate
that could have ever occurred to
man says the Ironwood News
Record. Weiland was stringing
an electric trolley wire along the
trestle for the use of the dump
car. 1t is believed that he lost
his balance, while endea voring
to fasten one of the wires to a
pole and fell from the trestle.
Witnesses to the accident de-
clare that in falling to the
ground, Weiland turned two
complete somersaults and alight-
ed on his feet.
Both legs were broken. the
bones being forced through the
skin by the shock of the fall.
Weiland is married and has a
wife and three children. He form
erly lived at Watersmeet. His
many friends and admirers here
will regret to learn of the acct
dent and hope that he will recov-
er fully in a short time.

Twas Always Thus.

Amid the doleful chorus of Ger
man woes sound some strangely
contrasting notes. While we
are being told that the whole
country is suffering unspeakable
depression and is in so bad a
plight that it ought to receive
aid rather than be required to
pay indemnity, we are also IN
formed that Berlin is ablaze with
cabarets which keep open all
night long, and that already the
British markets are being flood
ed with the output of German
factories. The world should have
learned by this time that howev-
er truthful German may be in
dividually, Germany collectively
and nationally is a monstrous
liar, and that just as it tried to
deceive the world in war, it will
try to deceive it in peace.-Har-

Good Crop of Potatoes.

Tom Olson, the town of Plum
Lake farmer who is in the spud
game for the money and notorie-
ty there is in the thing, was over
to the county seat Monday on
business. Tom is strong this
wear on Green Mountains and
his crop will go two hundred or
better to the acre. His farm lies
in that rich soil section in the
outskirts of the village of Star
Lake, made famous by it's early
day logging operations. it's big
hotel, Gene Shepard and his ho-
dag. You see, Gene had the Ho-
day come to life at Ballard lake,
where he was operating his re-
sort, Ferncroft Inn, for the bene-
fit of the public and the pleasure
he was afforded by the tender
foot who was scared of his life
after listening to the tales Shep-
ard would build from raw ma
terial. But those days Of mis-
representations are past, and
now the future of the farmer in
that section is assured. No bet
ter soil lies under the sky than
| that adjacent to Star Lake.

Attention!

All citizens of Northern
Wisconsin are cautioned to be
unusually careful with fires
this fall. The great amount
of vegetation grown in the
past season will develop a bad
menace with dry spell in
October and November. Set
tiers are warned not to burn
carelessly when clearing.
Lumbermen, campers, hunt
ers, jobbers and others are
urged to be unusually care
full. Make this a matter of
your business so that we will
not suffer confagration such
as Minnesota suffered last fall.

Farmer Lindberg has learned
that the first requirement is to

izt is to select it properly and
put it up in presentable condi-

that amount of personal pride in

SELF ANALYSIS
 LUNCHEON FOR C, OF C. MEMBERS

What Is the matter with the Chamber of Commerce?" is the ques- tion which will be asked of it's mem bers at the monday luncheon on Wednesday. The meeting will be one at which the Chamber will be asHeo to subject itself to keen self analysis as a basis for entering upon a still more active period of community ser vice.
 At the present time the Chamber is engaged in over forty activities in addition to a great number of minor operations.
 Executive Secretary Seward B. Price is to preside at the meeting. He will give an account of the work which has been done during the past year. Other members will outline what they believe the chamber should un- dertake. The luncheon will begin promptly at 1915 and an interest ing musical program has been pre- pared for the period of eating.
 Officers and executives of various civic agencies such as Charitable or ganizations and the members of the Board of Aldermen have been invited to attend as guests. The Chamber re- quests that its members signify their intention of attending so that reser- vations may be made for them.
 Another unique feature of the lun- cheon is the fact that for the first time in the history of the Chamber of Commerce there will be a dele gatfon of women present.

 |IN FIRST PART OF THE WAR;

full history played a more decisive part.
 Again, it is clear that, once the die was cast, the will of the British peo- pie in every part of the world as serted itself, overwhelming the dis sentient minority, abandoning a cher ished abhorrence of compulsory ser vice, showing an undaunted front in periods of Encouragement, and set ting a fine example of national unity.
 Russia, Belgium and Serbia
 A vague dislike of Germany may have pervaded the illiterate masses of Russia; but the will of her people, if it existed, gave no mandate for war, and as soon as the revolution ary propaganda, launched by the Ger mans began to affect the people, the largest and best equipped armies that Russia had ever put into the field crumbled away, and the strain thrown upon the Allies became almost more than they could bear. The response of a great part of the Russian peo- pie to false ideas of democratic free dom nearly gave victory to Germany, and left them to be murdered and en- slaved by a. small minority, with lib erty to be won only by CIVIL war.
 Little Belgium was faced with the alternative of war profiteering, fol- lowed by the loss of independence, or resistance certain to be unavailing and to involve cruel reprisals. Her people could not express their will; i; but she found a heroic leader in her King, and she bore her martyrdom with exemplary fortitude. It is to her eternal honor that she gained time which proved invaluable and, contributed to the vita1ly important first victory of the Marne. Serbia, threatened with extinction, and in vaded before the outbreak of the gen. eral conflagratton, nobly defended q herself, and the successive defeats which she inflicted on the Austrians will remain among the most notable of the incidents of the war.
 For the Serbian people, ruthlessly attacked. there was no question of will, but only of patriotism and of fighting power, which were strikin gly manifested. The will of the Bulgar- ian and Turkish peasants could play no part. The action of the accom- plices of Germany was determined by their corrupted Governments, anG

LARGE MURDER

 CASES FINISHED
Marie Vartovitch and Zihon
 Held For High Court.

 Judgment was suspended in the case of Peter Gentle. an ex-soldier who was arrested Saturday night charged with breach of the peace.
 Charges against Willie Hong. Bessie LePree and Mary Burns, who were taken in the raid which was conduct ed on a house at 347 Spruce street, Sunday morning, were nolled.
 Joe Toney of Lexington avenue, who was arrested Saturday night charged with stealing S5.10 from a companions s pocket, was freed from charges on account of lack of probable cause.
 Alex Kuzma of 757 Shelton street, who was arrested in New York some time ago for obtaining money under false pretenses from a local resident, was bound over to the December term of the superior court under $1,00O bonds. It is alleged that Kuzma stole bank book, drew $500 from the bank account of an ac- qraintance and then skipped to New York.
