in the local cemetery.
The committee appeals to every
one to help the Legion in honoring
the memory of their brave COM
rades who gave their lives for our
country. Ex service men are es-
pecially urged to appear in the par
ade in uniform.
A band is a necessary part of a
parade on such an occasion and for
a time it looked as though the par
ade would have to be dispensed
with on account of lack of funds to
pay the services of a band, but
thanks to a number of our good
citizens the necessary funds were
secured. The Legion deemed the
the price of 500 made by the local
band as excessive for a patriotic
parade and rather than go to such
an expense had about decided to
not have any parade. However,
the public spirited citizens came to
the rescue and money to hire the
band and more was raised by sub
scription among our business men.

Late Friday evening Edward
Mcleod was picked mp while walk
ing on the railroad track towards
Manitowish. Peterson, section
foreman and his son were riding on
a railroad pede and overtaking Nc
Leod asked him to have a ride with
them. After questioning him they
were led to suspicion that he
might be the man whom the auth
critics were after in connection
with the affair at Powell. Mel. cod
was taken to Mercer aud there
lodged i'll Jail Another man, James
Kennedy, was picked up as sus
pect.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Evenson
brought the two named tC Hurley,
arriving here about one o clock Sat
urday afternoon. Mcleod was
placed in the county Jail and shortly
after told UndersherifI Vincent Flat
eau that he was the man they were
looking for. Undersheriff Flateau
/ informed District Attorney Marion
F. Reid and Sheriff NJ J White of
what Mcleod had said. The dist
rict attorney and sheriff got busy
and obtained from Mcleod a writ
/ ten confession and immediately
made arrangements to take him to
Ashland before Circuit Judge Ris
/ jord to plead guilty and be sentenc-
ed. Accompanied by the Sheriff,
district attorney and others Mcleod
was quietly spirited out of town in
an automobile. When brought be
fore Judge Risjord the murderer
had nothing to say, pleaded guilty
to the charge and was Immediately
sentenced to life Imprisonment in
the state penitentiary. Sunday
morning Sheriff White took him to
Waupun and he is now behind the
bars to remain there the rest of bis
life.
That Mcleod was the man who
committed the crime was the belief
of the authorities evenbefore he cor
fessed TO the crime. He was picked
up about two miles this side of Pow
ell and it was noticed that he was
wet to the knees, indicating that he
had evide. t'y passed through a
swamp to get to the railroad track
Persons familiar with the woods
near the scene of the crime said that
it would be necessary for a person
to travel through the swamp in ord
er to get to the railroad track and
in so doing would naturally get wet
Another suspicion directed at him
and the one which no doubt would
have proved his guilt was the fact
that he had been seen and talked
with Mr. Bardon, who lives a short
distance out of Powell. At that
time Mcleod was carrying a pack
sack and in the sack he had three
bottles of moonshine which he eX
hibited to Mr. Bardon. The sack
and bottles of moonshine were later
found near the scene of the crime
and were positively identified by
Mr.. Bardon. In his haste to escape
Mcleod had thrown the sack with
its contents in the woods near the
scene of the crime. The kahki hand
kerchief with which the child was
gagged was also identified as tht
one carried by Mcleod by Mr. Bar
don.
Mcleod was a woodsman and it
was learned that he had worked in
camp near Marenisco but left ther'
at the time the timber workers went
on a strike. He later appeared at
Park Falls and it was learned that
he broke into a former saloon at
Park Falls and stole quantity OF
moonshine. part of which he had
with him lie walked across

Too Much Water
Is Trouble Now

At q meeting of the Commission
Council Tuesday night, a represents
tive of the Fairbanks Morse Company
presented his plans for increasing
the capacity of the city pumping sta
ton.
City Engineer Willis advised the
commissioners that there were ap-
proximately 900 gallons of water GO
ing into the Geek every day since the
last well, pumping 500 gallons per
minute, was brought in, and that al
though the engines in the pump house
were going full blast, they were I'M
able to pump enough water to keep
this amount from going to waste.
The plans submitted by the Fair
banks Company have to deal with a
double duplex engine system that viii
allow one pair Of the engines to be
working while the other rests, and in
case of fire, both units can furnish
more power than is realized when the
pumps Of the Great Southern and
Bogalusa Paper Company, along with
the city pump house, are at work.
They will entirely eliminate the
use of the company pumps, which Is
a considerable. item.
The plans submitted were turned
over to a committee of engineers, APP
pointed by the mayor, to be looked
isto and passed upon. The cost Of
this system is close to $4,000.

Public Xmas Tree
In Each Section

For a great many years it was the
custom to hold a big community
Christmas tree and celebration at
tie Y. NJ. G. Al. in our city. The war
came on and this was omitted for
a couple of years. Again this year
the desire for such an event has
again been expressed from many peo-
pie, and upon urgent request a COM
mittee was selected to look into the
matter The recommend atfan
they made was that instead of one
tree, that could not adequately serve
all, there would be at least five trees
in various sections of our city, where
good programs, a jolly old Santa
Claus, and present for all of Boga-
lusa's children to enjoy the pleasure
of Christmas tree,
So many have been the demands of
late upon the business men, as well as
others of our community, that it was
with trepidation that the committee
started upon it's errand of taking into
advisement first OF. all the mereh-
ants of our city. The further they
went upon their errand of raising
funds, the more enthused they be-
came, for of all the business men
seen to date, not one wished to be
omitted from having his part in put
ting across this community Christmas
program.
Each community has its various
committees organizing and after the
business men have had their oppor-
tunity of heading the lists, then every
family is to be given the privilege
of having hand IN this gladstone pro-
gram. Every one of our community
school buildings win have its tree and
program to just the extent WHICH YOU,
the public, are willing to get behind
your section of the work.

Warren G. Harding and Gov. Cool

dent and vice-presi5ent, respectively,
have been elected by one of the
greatest Iandslides IN the history of

The doubtful states are Missouri,
