TAX ROLL IS

PLACED IN HANDS OF

People of the City Urged to Pay
Their Taxes Early in Order
To Relieve Financial String
ency.

The tax roll for the city of Wash
bura which was reported in the hands
of the treasurer last week, was turn
ed over to the City Treasurer early
this afternoon by the City Clerk and
Mr.. S. 1. Haugen will now begin the
collection of taxes.
The rate this year is 4.3, the same
as last year, while valuations are
about te same, changes benig made
in some instances. People in pay
ing their taxes should remember that
the City Treasurer is in no way re-
sponsible for the taxes or the size
of the tax bill which the taxpayer is
liable to pay, and kicks should not
be made to him. The city council
sets the tax rate, while the assessor
and Board of Review make the figures
and it is useless to kick at this time.
Taxpayers are urged to pay their
taxes early in order to relieve the
financial difficulties of the city. The
Office Of the City Treasurer is at the
Northern State Bank.

In Paradise could bloom.
Lois Catherine, age IL months,
and three days, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar johnson of west 9Th

From the time of birth the little

caused great sorrow in the Johnson

them in their sad bereavement.

Indian Slayer Pleads Guilty
Gets Life Sentence at Waupun
PLEADED GUILTY TO THE
MURDED OF JOHN MEALEY
Shot Aged Indian Down Be-
cause he Chided Him for Not
Avenging the Murder of His
Father.

Father.
John Beauregard will spend the
rest of his natural days in the State
Prison at Waupun for having killed
his uncle John Mealey in the town
of Barnes on December 9Th. Yes
terday Beauregard was taken before
Judge Risjord where he plead guilty
to the charge of murder and was i'm
mediately sentenced to the State Pri-
son.
This is the second time Beauregard
has entered the prison doors on a
killing charge. Several years ago
he shot and killed Charles Mitchell
and was convicted by jury on a
murder charge, but afterwards Sc
cured a new trial which resulted in
a manslaughter charge and SEN
tence of three years.
The latest killing in which the In
dian was implicated occurred in the
town OF Barnes On the morning of
December 9th. John Mealey, about
80 years of age, and uncle of Beau
regard, had been drinking together
during the night. During the morn
ing the aged man chided the younger
Indian for not avenging the death of
his father and this SO enraged the
younger man that he went to his
cabin and secured revolver and re-
turned to the place where the drink
ing had taken place, and began fir-
ing at Mealey. Five of the shots
took effect and the aged Indian fell
over dead.
Beauregard then returnd to his
own cabin, hid the revolver, and re-
manned in hiding for nearly two
weeks during the severest part Of
the weather during December. He
lived ON wild meat which he killed.
He finally made his way to his
cabin where Henry Holmes met him
and told him he was wanted by the
authorities. Beauregard turned over
his weapons and returned with Hol-
mes to Iron River where he gave him
self up to the authorities.
Undersheriff Long secured con-
fession from the man after his arrest
and on Tuesday he was taken before
Tude,o P;s;ord uhera he entered a
plead of guilty and was sentenced to
life.
The town of Barnes has been the
scene of number of killings among
the Indians as the result of long
feud, and with the aged Mealey dead
and Beauregard behind the bars for
life, and many Of the other Indians
mixed up in the feud either dead or
killed, it is not thought there will be
any more killings there.

SECOND VICTORY
FOR SCOUT TEAM
MelIen Proves Easy. Scores
38 to g.
Scores

| The Scouts took on the team from
the Mellen Scout Troop last Friday
evening, and had no difficulty in
tucking the game away by the COM
Portable score of 38 to 9. The
Mellen team were without the SER
vices of three men whom they had
counted on and who could not come
on account of playing On the Mellen
High School team, and the boys who
made up the team were about ten
pounds lighter ,and apparently some
what younger than the Scouts, but
had plenty of pluck and spirit, and
put up game fight. This is the
first time in their history that the
Scouts have ever playet, a team light
er than themselves, and the situa-
tion was therefore strange one for
them.
Appreciating the disadvantage
under which the Mellen team were
working, the Scouts put in both sub
stitutes, and this, together with the
fact that one of the regulars is a
new man this year, caused the team
work of the local boys to drop con-
siderably below normal. The size
of the score is more of a tribute to
Captain Scoop Haglund's uncanny
ability to keep rolling them in, whe-
ther he is hog-tied by three men or
only one, than to any very good team
work by the Scouts, who were very
obviously having an off night. Then
too, the referee took look at the
visitors, and apparently decided to
temper the wind to the shorn lamb,
and the closeness with which ne CALI
ed fouls on the home tam proved dis
concerting in the extreme to the
Scouts; Alton, in particular, began
to suspect quite early in the game
that il he should stroll up to Mel
len player and ask him politely for
the ball, he would be slid out on his
ear for unnecessary roughness, and
his work suffered in consequence.
The experience was valuable one
to the team, as it showed them how
close it is possible to call misplays.
For the Mellen team, Lyons play
ed a star game. He worked main
ly on the defensive, and bothered the
Scout forwards considerably He
also started q number of forlorn hope
attacks OH the Scout basket, but was
always stopped before ne got within
range, and finally contented himself
with long shots none of which were
successful. With four more play
ers of the same calber, the Mellen
team would be formidable one:
