OdOr From Corpse Leads to Grue-
some Discovery Under 18th
Street House
MISSING SEVEN MONTHS
CLEAR CASE OF SUICIDE
Saw-Filer Was DespOndent Over Money
And Family Affairs-Uses
Two RaZOrS

The body of William Mcbride, wht
disappeared mysteriOusly more than
seven months ago, was found about
o'clock yesterday afternoon under the
floor of the home of his sister, Mrs. A
Crandell east Twelfth-st, near the pea
canning factory. Mcbride had evident
Iy taken his own life. His throat was
gashed in two places and he held q
razor in each hand
OdOr from the decOmpOsing body
lead to the gruesOme discovery. Fol
about ten days, Mrs. Crandall and the
neighbors had noticed the 0dOr, but
c8{ld not locate its source. The body
was found by the neighbOrs. Coroner
Stanton was called and he decided that
it was plain case of suicide. He had
the body removed at once to the GENE
terry. 1t was Shriveled to about one
half it's normal size.
Mcbride disappeared on Nov. II. 1t
is said that he had trouble over money
matters and was respondent. He left
a note on table for his sister, in which
he said that he had gone, but did not
mention where. Some thought he had
drowned himself in the river. His
brother Leonard Mcbride, made a
search for him to the towns and lumber
camps where he might be employed.
The fact that he had not taken any
extra clothing with him lead to the be-
lief that he had not gone far.
Under the house. where the body was
found, was a small cellar. The de-
ceased had entered the cellar and
climbed up between the ground and the
crawled back away from the small cellar
hole, where he would least be expected
to be discovered, there to die alone by
his own hand. Broken window lights
in the ground foundation wall allowed
evidences of a dead body to escape to
the surrounding neighbOrhOOd.
William Mcbride was a wOOdsman
and Saw-filer. and a good one. He
had been employed over northern Wis
conSin, in the lumber camps and saw
mills. for many years. Besides his abilI-
tt with the file, he was fair barber,
and had a BARRIERS outfit. Mcbride was
IS years of age. He was native of
Canada, and came to Wisconsin with
his father, when young man. He made
Ladysmith his headquarters, but work
ed elsewhere much of the time, until
the last few years. He had been en-
plOyed on one of the railroad sections
heGe for short time before his death.
He left a wife, from whom he was es-
tranged, but no children.

GOOD RESULTS OF
COOPERATION
A Chain of Events Which Result
ed i'm Relief of Six Little
Sufferers

Whether cooperation is the ''Order
of the day" or not, it should be, as its
benefits are many and are becoming
better known.
In the instance cited here, the bene
fits of cooperation were to the county
The public-and to two poor families
Of he county, and, let us hope, to the
participants for "tO give is better than
to receive"
Six children of two poor families
residing at Island Lake were in need
of surgical operations for the removal
Of tonsils. The parents were not able
to pay for the services required. Miss
Margaret Thomas, county nurse inter
estcd herself in the matter and started
a "chain of events which resulted in
the six children being relieved of a
condition which meant continued ill
health to them and an impairing OF
their physical and mental condition.
The first cooperative move i'll the
matter was an exchange Of cars be-
tween Miss Thomas and j. e. Lee
Stewart, for the transportation of the
children and their mothers to st. Mary'S
hospital, Miss Thomas car being too
small. The children were brought here
Thursday, operated on by Drs. John
son and Clark, gratis, on Friday, and
were taken home Saturday, as far as
Bruce, in a car loaned by NJ. Bartlett,
Of the ThOmpsOn-Drake garage. From
Bruce. Mrs. L. NJ. KnudSOn, took the
children in her car the remainder of
the distance to their homes. While at
thc hospital the young patients had
the use of free beds. Thus it will be
seen that there were seven human
factors in this beneficient cooperative
movement, performed with object of
relieving suffering. More of such
spirit would make all engaged better
and make them feel better.

MANY ATTEND
SAWYER co. EVENT
Clover Blossom Picnic Draws
Large Attendance From Lady
smith and Rusk County

The second annual clover blossom
picnic was held in a big open space of
meadow land where lofty pines gave
their shade on the banks of the Chip
pewa river, a few miles northeast of
Radisson last Friday.
One of the events of the day was the
speech of Congressman Nelson, who
stated that he favored and was work
ing hard for a deep waterway that
would make sea ports of the great lake
terminals and give the states along
these lakes ocean freight rates and
service, thus adding millions of dollars
to the wealth of these states through
cheaper and better transportation facil-
tiles.
He stated that he stood for the
farmer and was doing all that could be
done to better their cause and bring
He gave the. American Society of
Equity his hearty endorsement and hit
Townley and his non-partisan league
blow that they richly deserve.
Mr.. Nelson is fluent talker and i'm
pressed his audience as being on the
square, and has his record as proof that
he does what he claims he will.
The log rolling was contested for by
a young and a middle-ageG Indian. The
young man finally won the contest.
The fake ball game played by the
clown was exceedingly interesting, to
the clown.
The Indian dance is always popular
and the young bucks started their rag
time music and the old braves with
feathers, beads and war paint danced
their native dances with great skill and
activity. When the squaw dance was
announced, Merchant Brown, of Rad
isson, could not resist the request of a
pretty squaw to join in, and he went to
it with bells on his toes. This was too
much for Rain-in-theFace Blackburn
who induced a bevy of white squaws to
join him in the big circle where they
danced the light fantastic of the days of
long ago with as much grace and skill
as the oldest Indian there.
There was big crowd in attendance
and people were there from distances
of over so miles and a dozen auto loads
were there from Ladysmith and vicin-
ity.
Much credit is due the business men
and farmers of RadissOn, EXeland, and
that territory for the splendid enter
tainment they put on

PEA PACK PROMISES LARGE

The seasons pack of peas at the
Ladysmith cannery of the Fame Can
ming company, promises to be a large
one at the present time, basing the pre-
diction on the condition of the crop now
nearing the harvest time and the con-
dition of the plant for handling the
green peas.
The growing crop is in an excellent
state of growth and the yield will be
heavy, it appears now. The first cut
ting will commence in about week.
There are 900 acres of peas tributary
to the Ladysmith cannery and being
raised for this institution.
Six portable viners will help to take
care of the big crop now coming on.
They are located at Tony, Glen, Flora
and one at the Wirth farm near In
gram, where there are 40 acres of peas
growing on one farm. The Ladysmith
pea cannery will soon be a busy place.

RECORDS IN ATTEND
ANCE AT SCHOOL

Through the county superintendent
of schools office we learn that school
Dist No. 1, town of Hill, has a student
named Ellen Keshuna who has an en-
viable record for punctuality at school.
During the past eight years this young
girl has not been tardy or absent, a
record which is certainly hard to equal
Price County Paper.
The above is certainly a good record
but Rusk county can cite better one.
Miss Lainys Simon, a Junior in the
Ladysmith highschOol, has not, in the
eleven years she has attended school,
been absent or tardy.

Party Who Plumbers Farmers
Home, Overlooked Govern
ment Bonds

\ Thief entered the home of Achilles
Gerard, a short distance below Thorn
apple Dam, OH the 10th inst and got
away with articles of considerable
value. Mr.. Gerard had gone to his
brothers place on an errand.
The unwelcOme visitor cut window
screen in plain view of the public road
and entered in broad daylight. He
took valuable gold watch, a chain, Il
ring, some underclothes and suits and
$15 in cash. He overlooked several
government bonds in his search for
valuables.
1t is evident that he did not intend

Mr.. Gerard's revolver and laid it in
a place handy for emergencies, but did
not take it away with him.

With Scarcity of Labor, the Success
full Man Learns How to Get
Most Out of His Work

Registrations for enrolment in the

and secure the many advantages that
will be derived therefrOm. The cards
to be filled out are as follows:

Wisconsin College of Agriculture
/ wish to attend the Land Clear
inc School, conducted by the Land
Clearing Division of the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture, under
the auspices of Rusk County Land
Clearing Contest and the Ingram
ties.
This school is to be held at In
gram, June both and 30 and July
1st and 2nd. There will be two 2
day sessions, / prefer to attend the
first two days-. Last two
days (Check One.)
Signed
Date
With present high prices for land
and labor, farmers are finding more
than ever that scientific methods will
do their work quicker and more eco
nomically than other agencies. The
successful man today is producing the
most with the least amount OF man
and horse power.
The program for the short intensi-
fed course will be divided into four di-
visions: stump eradication with dyna-
mite: stump eradication with stump
pulling machinery; stump disposal by
piling and burning and breaking cleared
virgin soil.
The safest and best place for the
farmer of moderate means. to invest
any surplus he may have is in his own
farm, barns or herd. The clearing of
cut-oyer land is no longer a slow and
tiresOme task and is one that adds doll
ars and cents to the value of our farm
lands.
This demonstration or Land Clear
ing School is the first one to be put on
in Rusk County and from all indica-
tions it is to be big affair and excel
lent results are looked for. Ingram
and vicinity invites you to come and
take part in the activities.
