SEE NORTHERN LIGHTS

Residents of Grand Rapids and vi
cinity witnessed beautiful pyrotech-
mic display Monday night when the
northern lights illuminated the skies
for some little time during the even
ing. Huge shafts of light radiating
from a center shot out at all angles,
ever changing in color, moving and
lulsating as if almost alive. The
northern lights are often spoken of by
Arctic explorers, and other travellers
in the frozen north. They are pre-
sumed to originate from the sun shin
ing on the ice fields, and being reflect
ed in the sky. Old settlers claim that
when they are visable in this latitude
that it is a sign that cold weather is
over.

WINS PAY FOR TRADE

The details of "hoss trade" were
aired in circuit court Friday when Rad
Gilbert, who had traded a team to
Chas. Hardie for twenty-five bushels
of potatoes, appeared in court claim
ing damagesbecause the spuds were
not of a marketable grade.
The deal was blind trade as Gil
bert had not looked at the tubers and
Hard e had not seen the team. Hardie
took the animals however, but the
plaintiff alleged the potatoes were not
what he had expected. The jury a
warded him $19.75 compensation, lead
ing the spectators to wonder what sort
of horses could be bought nowadays
for such an amount. Attorney John
Roberts represented Gilbert and A. L.

R. M. Gibson, State Adjutant of the
American Legion, has received a res
olution from the Edward B. Rhodes
Post of the American Legion, Tacoma,
Washington, favoring the adoption of
the Shirley Poppy as the memorial
flower of the Legion. This resolution
is as follows:
LEST we in the days work, sur
rounded by home Happiness, forget
our Comrades, who sleep in France
and here in the arms Of the Mother
land;
''Lest we forget that greater love-
of these American boys who gave their
lives for their fellowmen;'
<ELest we forget that In Flanders
Fields, the Popies grow, Among the
crosses, row on row. and that nature
eems to have raised in these simple
flowers the most eloquent monument
a waving scarlet blessing over their
graves;
"Be it resolved that the Edward B.
Rhodes Post, American Legion, inau-
gurate movement to have the Shirley
Poppy adopted as the Memorial Flow
er of the American Legion. That the
American Legion take steps to assist
and urge that every public park, Gem
etery and every private garden in gra-
titude to the men who made the su-
preme sacrifices, do during the coming
spring and summer and every spring
and summer thereafter, revere the
memory of our soldier dead by setting
aside a plot for continued display of
waving red poppies. That red poppy
be worn by every member of the A
merican Legion, on Memorial Day of
1920, and every year thereafter"

Poppy as proposed would require the
action of the American Legion in con-

Faithful C0|LIELEADS PARTY
ACROSS MARSH TO BOYS BODY
'Iaddie, the Playmate of Steve Dano, Seven Year
Where Frozen Corpse Lay in Lonely Field

Thursday afternoon a week ago,
little Steve Dano, aged seven years,
of Armenia, a tiny hamlet just over
the Adams county line wandered "a
way from the yard Of his home where
he was playing. That night a bowling
blizzard and snowstorm set in and on
Saturday a posse of searchers led by
''E.addie" q big collie dog belonging to
the family found the boys frozen body
lying dead in a deserted field several
miles from home. Evidences about
the body told of the struggle the boy
had made with the elements, until ex-
hausted he had fallen, unable to con-
tinue farther and had died.
Early in the afternoon Steve had
been playing in the yard. Toward ev-
ening his mother called him, but he
did not respond. Nothing was thot
of this at the time, as she presumed
he might have gone to the home of a
neighbor. At dusk a big blizzard set
in and ragged thru the night Grow
ing anxious over the bows nOn-return
the family set out to inquire of neigh
bors if they knew where he might be
Finding that the boy had not visited
any of the neighbors, searching parties
We're formed and search instituted, but
after looking all night the parties re-
turned with out trace of the missing
lad. The following morning 'Iaddie"
the collie dog, which probably had
gone with the child, returned home
No notice was taken of the animal,
that day, but Saturday morning no
ticing that the dog was acting strange
~, it was believed that he might be
able to lead them to the location of
the body.
Setting out with "Laddie" party
of men followed him thru woods and
fields and across the big marsh to
noin+ three miles distant from the
Dano home. There partially buried
in the snow and frozen, the body was
found.

MISSING
WITNESS IS
FINED SlOO

William Connolly, of GAINESVILLE, the
missing witness in the Mortenson bond
case, paid 500 for his failure to ap-
near here during the trial and tell of
the attempt made by Joe Weisang last
June to sell him some Liberty bonds,
alleged to be those stolen from DR..
Mortenson.
Connelfy's failure to come here and
testify during the trial supplied the
tieeplaolo tafa which ,hg 4 )'"Ir''..ie pc ed
dict slipped and escaped conviction.
Though properly subpoenaed Connolly
did not show up for the trial. Had he
told the story that he related to Sher-
iff c. w Bluett in GAINESVILLE last June
it is believed that his testimony would
have gone far to securing Weisang's
conviction.
In substance, he claimed while talk
a few days before and that Weisang
attempted to sell him some bonds. Ac-
cording to his story at the time, Wei
sang had 5000 in bonds in his posses
sion.
Connolly when brought before Judge
Park, stated that he did not receive
notification to come here and testify.

clared. 'I'll fine you 500 and the
costs for your negligence"

F. BESKE LOSES
PIANOLAWSUIT

For the first time in her life Friday,
tookMrs. Adelaide Carney of Nekoosa,
aged sc years, sat in court and lis
tened to a trial, and took the witness
stand in her own behalf in a suit brot
to recover $266 loaned her daughter
Jane, and son-in-law, Emil Beske for
the purchase of piano, five years a
go. Within half hour after Judge
Park had charged the jury, they re-
turned with a Judgment in the sum
named for Mrs. Carney.
Five years ago, the complainant,
loaned to her son-in-law and daughter
money to buy a piano, in order that
the daughter might be better enabled
to pursue her music study, and teach.
1t was agreed that should the mother
die ere the loan was paid the instru-
ment was to go to the daughter.
Time passed and no money was
paid; Beske, the son-in-law claiming

tieers were furnished with his des-
cription and asked to keep an eve
out and aid in his apprehension.
While here, Brice operated by phone
only. Elsewhere he worked also with
the aid of the mails, and this largely
contributed to his downfall. Clever
as his system was, it goes to prove
that one cannot cheat the law forever,
and thief steals only from himself.
Should he be, and there is little doubt
that he is, the man wanted, he must
expiate his crimes with many years of
penal serviture for his long series of

FIRE IN A HOLLOW
LOG CAUSES TROUBLE

Fire, thought to have originated
from SHARKS from a portable sawmill
outfit, ignited a pile of logs in the up
onr wards at the Consolidated on
Thursday last, and the department was
summoned to extinguish the blaze.
The fire proved to be very difficult
to get at as it seemed to be burning
in TIE center of the log pile which is
some thirty feet high. Though the fire
men drenched the logs with barrels of
water. they could not extinguish it un-
il one of them crawled in between the
ogs and found the interior of hollow
loe was ablaze. The hose was intro
luced into the opening in the log, eff

PLANS FOR

ARE DELAYED

Decision On the matter of establish
ing a club house for the tri-cities, Ste
vens Point Marshfield and Grand Rap
ids was delayed for an additional 80
to go days by request of ]. A. Cohen
at the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Monday night.
Mr.. Cohen stated that the roads
were in such bad condition and the
weather had been SO unfavorable that
the committee had not been able to
investigate proposed sites properly.

han, and promising assistance in Sc
curing it.
"About 100 residents Of Stevens
Point are willing to join the club" Mr..
Cohen told the members present, "but
a good many at Marshfeld object to
locating the club house between Grand
Rapids and the Point, as it is SO far to
go. They want it located in or near
this city.
Take Up Bridge Matter
John Brandt, John Roberts and F.
F. Mengel were appointed to take up
the matter of lengthening the bridge
and TO learn what they could of the
plans, and the indecision over the leng-
til Of the bridge, the state Highway
Commission was not working on the
plans at present. He stated that it
might be possible to secure better bids
on the structure later, than now.
Investigation of establishment of an
underway at the C. & n. w. crossing
on the south side was passed by the
members. Mr.. Mengel stated that in
his .opinien as an engineer auiaduct
at that point was not only feasible,
but that it was a public necessity.
J. R. Ragan asked that the commit
tee who were appointed to take up the
bad crossing on Grand avenue with
the ST. Paul railroad get busy, as the
place was unsightly, ard would not
be permitted in other cities.
Following him Judge w. H. Gets,
stated that the St. Paul had a block
of land across from their station, that
was a frog pond the year round, but.
which by grading and filing in, might
be made into a nice park. The com
mittee which had been previously ap-
pointed to attend to the crossing were
instructed to take up the park with
the railroad officials.
Secretary Fritzsinger read a COM
munication from the Mayer Boot &
Shoe company, which stated that the
company were not now ready to take
up the matter of establishing a fac
tory here, but would give this city due
consideration when the time came The
letter indicated that the concern were
looking for a location, but building
conditions and the opening Of another
plant elsewhere had caused them to
abandon their plans regarding another
/ factory for the time being.
Charles Kruger stated that Stevens
Point and Marshfield were consider
ing the daylight savings" plan, and a
number spoke in its favor. The idea
was, however, opposed by Edw. Lipke
who stated he voiced the sentiments of
labor. We have worked for years to
get an eight o'clock start, and will not
surrender it now" he declared. John
Brandt, also declared that he opposed
the idea,
