Railroad Brakeman a Forger.

Z. {. Luther, a brakeman on
the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road between Ashland and Waters
meet, was arrested Wednesday on
forgery charge. He was taken
before Circuit Judge Risjord at
Ashland, pleaded guilty to the
charge and was sentenced to three
years at Waupun.
Luther's 5 practice was to steal
checks made out to railroad en-
ployes and by gaining access to
the station while the agent was
away forged the names of the
persons to whom the checks were
issued and then cashed them.
From Ashland comes the informa-
tlon that three banks in that CITY
are losers from Luther S operations
and it is known that he cashed
checks at Ironwood, Amigo and
other railroad centers. At Amigo
he casned check for S5oI.7I at
a jewelry store while buying a fine
watch. He began his operations
a year ago, it is said, and for some
time past has been under suspicion.
By comparing his hand writing and
through the watch deal he was
discovered and arrested.
Luther is 90 years old and re-
sided at Ashland, previous to which
he resided at Eagle River.

arrested by Sheriff John Morris last
Friday. He pleaded guilty to the
charge of having Intoxicating liquor
in his possession in municipal court
and Judge Thomas imposed fine
of $500 and six months in the coun-
ty Jail. 1t was Fowler's second
offense, hence the judge thought
he deserved stiff penalty.
That there has been open vio-

Saxon has been generally known
Saturdays raid was the first
effort on the part of the federal

Trapping Attracts Many.

Many persons follow wild animal
trapping during the winter months
IN northern Wisconsin counties and
the more fortunate and skilled find
it a profitable business, as there is
a ready market for the furs of all
kinds of animals and the prices this
year are higher than usual. The
number of trappers this year is
1 probably larger than usual. due to
the industrial depression with the
resultant scarcity of work. Many
men who otherwise do not pay any
attention TO trapping are this winter
following lines in the woods and
along the shores of lakes and
streams.
1 Some of the animals trapped in
northern Wisconsin include skunk
muskrat, mink. weasel, red fox
black fox, lynx, wolf and coyote
The wolf probably brings the
largest returns to the trapper, out,
side of black fox, for the reason
that in most counties he is paid a
bounty in addition to the state
bounty and besides he gets neat
sum for the pelt. In some counties
the wolf bounty is $50, the state
pays $50, so that trapper does
not have to make many cstches of
this animal to put him on easy
street. However, the wolf is a
wise old chap and hard to lure into
the steel jaws of trap and it is
seldom that trapper gets more
than few during a season. A good
many of the wolves killed are
brought down with rifles.
The muskrat is the sure and
steady meal ticket for the trapper.
II is one of the easiest of animals
to catch, the skins find a ready
market and bring good price and
the animals are numerous in smost
sections of the north country.
They are found in almost any lake
or stream that provides their win
ter's food. Thousands of them are
trapped every year in northern
Wisconsin.
According to a Chicago fur
company the following prices are
paid this year for the skins named;
Skunk, Srz, coon S22, muskrat SIS,
mink $50, red fox.S SIS, black fox
800, lynx $40.

NEW MOTOR COMPANY FORMED
AND WILL BUILD GARAGE
Nicholson Property Corner Of Copper
Street and Third Avenue Par
chased for Automobile
Purposes.

An important real estate iran
saction took place this, week when
Improperly outhe corner Of Copper
street and Third a, enae was trans.
ferred to the Raineri & Norman
Motor company, a new organiza-
ton to enter the business field of
the city.
The property, which was for
merly owned by the Misses Nichol
son, has frontage of so feet on
Copper street and 40 on Third
avenue and is very desirable loca
ton. A she'd erected by the Com
mercial Club for the benefit of
farmers while i'll the city as a place
to leave and feed their horses
stands on the south end of the pro-
perty with building used lately
as a garage on the north end
These buildings will no doubt be
moved or dismantled.
The personnel of the Raineri &
Norman Motor company is made
up of Joseph Raineri, well-known
meat and grocery dealer, and Alvin
]. Norman, a member of the firm
of Norman Auto company with a
garage on Third avenue between
Silver street and the railroad tracks.
The new company has secured the
agency for the Ford car in Iron
county and vicinity. The present
intention of the company is to erect
an up-to-date garage building on
the newly acquired site, work on
which, it has been announced, will
start in the near future. The new
building will be of substantial dimen-
sions with full basement and will
probably be two stories, although
this has not yet been settled. The
building will be erected in accord
ance with plans furnished by the
Ford Motor company. The garage
and service will be managed by
Alvin ] Norman, while Mr.. Raineri
will have an active part in the bust
ness as sales manager.
1t was rumored this week that
the Standard Oil company intend
ed to erect a filling station on a
part of the property which was
sold to the above company, al
though no confirmation of the
rumor could be obtained. When
approached with the subject mem
Der of the above new motor com
pany stated that the oil company
had made some advances along that
line but that the matter had not
yet been settled, but that in the
event the oil company should de
eide to take over part of the lot
it would make very little change
in the present plans to erect a
garage, as it is conceded that the
lot is large enough for both a fill
ing station and substantial garage
building.
The consideration in connection
with the transfer of this property
is given as in the neighborhood of
