DRAWING THE CROWDS

Segal's big closing out sale In
which their $4,000 stock is to be
closed out in the next thirty days,
is proving to be a real wonder and
is drawing crowds from all parts
OF Bayfield,. county as well as from
Ashland county.
It is the intention of the Segal
Dry Goods company to close out
their Washburn store in the next
thirty days, when the members OF
the firm will move to the Twin Cities
where they will engage in another
line of business, and Mr.. Segal says
the goods have simply got to move,
no matter what they will bring.
The amount of business which the
store has been doing the past week
has been surprising, even to the
management, and within thirty days
they expect to have their stock un-
loaded. including all store fixtures.
During the next week the store
intends to conduct series of hour
sales in which they are advertising
wonderful bargains. Adv.

coupon and these tickets were to be
deposited in the Lien store, and on

BAD WEATHER
FOR The FAIR.
RAIN AND CLOUDS KEEP
NUMBERS AWAY
Fine Exhibition of Agricultural
Products and Other Exhibits
We're on Hand at the Fair
Grounds.

A hoodo seems to be following
Bayfield, County's Fair Association
and it seems to b ehard for the As
sociation officials to pick three days
during which the weather will be
fair and this seemed to be the case
again this year and as result the
attendance this year has fallen great
ly.
The Bayfield, County Fair opened
on Tuesday of this week. Tuesday
the rain came down in torrents, keep
mig the crowds away, and On We'd
nesday threatening clouds again kept
the crowds away. The last day the
weather was more favorable.
Those who made visits to the fair
this year state that the exhibits of
live stock an dagriculutral products
were ahead of last year and that
every department was filled to over
flowing. 1t was great exhibit and
it is indeed too bad that weather
kept the crowds away.

Disappeared Mysteriously;
Returned Late Today
MRS. JACOBSON WANDERS
FROM HOME
Deligent Search Carried On all
Day by Citizens Through
Woods and Along Shore.
Located at Ashland.

A great deal of concern was felt
for the safety of Mrs. j. P. Jacobson
today and a great relief was felt this
afternoon at four o'clock when the
news was brought back from Ash
land to the effect that she had been
located at the Culver hotel and is
now with her husband.
Mrs. Jacobson disappeared myster-
iously from her home on East Fourth
street at some time between the
hours of two and four o'clock this
morning. Her absence was noticed
by Mr.. jacobson when he awakened
at five o'clock and found her missing.
Mrs. Jacobson had been consider
ably worried during Wednesday ac-
cording to Mr.. Jacobson. During
the evening she went out for visit
with friends, and returned home
again at about nine o'clock. She
was very nervous and refused
remove her oat and hat but sat
in a chair until about midnight. She
was still sitting in a chair when Mr..
Jacobson laid down for nap. 1t
is said that at two o'clock she awak-
ened Mr.. jacobson and ne urged her
to retire and take some rest, and she
stated she would, and Mr.. Jacobson
again went to sleep and when ne
awoke at five o'clock this morning
she was Snissing from the house.
Mrs. Jacobson lost her only son
through death in one of the military
hospitals in the south and this has
caused her great grief and sorrow
from which she could not be COM
forted. When Mr.. jacobson found
his wife missing from the house, his
first conclusion was that she had
perhaps gone to the cemetary' where
the remains of her son are laid, but
she was not to be found there, and
the husband carried on the search un-
til seven o'clock when he appealed
to local authorities for aid, fearing
that through her nervousness and
illness Mrs. Jacobson might have
been injured or that some accident
might have befallen her.
After school was called this morn
ing the boys in the high school as
well as citizens were asked to as
sist in the search, and parties went
out in every direction in an endeavor
to locate Mrs. jacobson.
The first inkling of her possible
whereabouts was given at about noon
when call was received from Harks-
dale from Mrs. VIM. Mitchell, who
had then heard of Mrs. Jacobson's
disappearance, Mrs. Mitchell stat
ing that the children had seen wo-
man dressed in black, walking along
the road toward Ashland at 7:l5
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. jacobson, accompanied by Rev.
Waters and others, immediately
started for Ashland, where a search
was begun. During the early after
noon it was learned that a woman,
answering the description, had taken
lunch at the Seventh Avenue hotel
at nine o'clock this morning and
late this afterAoon Mrs. jacobson
was located at the Culver hotel, where
she is now with her husband.
Due to the long walk to the cenle-
tary and then to Ashland and about
Ashland this morning Mr.. Jacobson
was almost fatigued and in highly
nervous state, and it was thought
best to allow her to rest at Ashland
before returning to this city.

DODGE CAR
TURNS TURTLE
OCCUPANTS ESCAPE In
JURY NEAR CITY
Car Leaves the Road at Long
Trestle While Going at Good
Rate of Speed and Turns
Over.

A Dodge touring car owned by
G. Collins, who halls from Missouri,
was quite badly damaged on Satur-
day evening while going from this
city to Ashland, when the ar left
the road while rounding the curve
at Long Trestle, and turned turtle.
There were four people in the car at
the time of the accident, and al
though they were thrown out of the
car. yet all escaped serious accident,
although one or two were scratched
up.
The car was badly damaged and
had to be towed to this city. The
top was demolished and the wheels
were snapped off and the tenders
were bent and twisted.
Where the accident occurred there
is bad curve just before crossing
the railroad track. There is a clear
space just ahead of the curve and
one not familiar with the road on a
foggy night, might go straight ahead
instead of making the curve, and this
is probably what happened.

GEORGE BARNES
PLACE RA|DED
PROPRIETOR ARRESTED ON
FEDERAL CHARGE
Barnes Charged With Manu-
featuring and Selling M00n-
shine and Home Brew al.
Barnes.

The famous Moose Tavern, owned
by George Barnes former town chair
man of the town of Barnes, and To-
Gated at Barnes in western Bayfield,
county, which has become famous
othe thirsty for these many years,
was raided by federal prohibition
enforcement officers during the past
two weeks and on Tuesday of this
week the proprietor George Barnes
was hailed before United States
Commissioner w. B. Kellogg of Ash
land where charge was preferred
against Barnes for selling moonshine
and home brew.
The raid was made on the Barnes
place two weeks ago by George
Ihrig, group chief of the prohibit
ton agents for western Wisconsin,
and Howard Kimball, his assistant.
The agents posed as tourists stopping
at Eau Claire Lakes, and it is said,
had little difficulty in obtaining evi-
dence of the sale of liquors. Part
of the evidence was brought to Su-
perior by the agents.
Barnes was released under $1,000
bonds upon his arraignment.
The veteran chairman of the town
whcih bears his name has been in
the spotlight more or less during the
past several months, starting with
his defeat for the office for chairman
of the town at last spring's election.
Barnes. although defeated on the
face of the returns, refused to give
up the reins of the Office, and con-
tinued to hold town meetings. He
was recognized by the other town
officers as the chairman and an ac
ton was brought resulting in the
town officers being removed from
Office by Circuit Judge Risjord. Judge
Risjord also forced Barnes to give
up the office.
Barnes is known throughout the
Northwest From the tire of the
organization of his town he was.
chairman until last spring when he
was defeated for the Office. For
many years he has been engaged in
logging and farming in western
Bayfield, county. Although past
seventy years of age Barnes still
retains much of his vigor.

ORDER FOR
TWO CARS ACID
co. ACT. BRUBAKER SENDS
IN ORDERS FOR EXPLOSIVE
Will be Sold to the Farmers of
Bayfield, County at &c Per
Pound. Is a War Salvage
Material.

On Monday of this week County
Agricultural Agent V. E. Brubaker
sent in orders for two cars of Pic
ric Acid to be loaded for the farm
ers of Bayfield, county, and the
explosive is expected to arrive here
i'm the course of the next few weeks,
when it will be put to work by the
farmers in clearing their land of
stumps.
Picric acid is war salvage ex-
plosive which has been donated to
the state of Wisconsin, as well as
other states, for use in land clear
ing work. The explosive as it comes
from the government is in bulk form
and the state has it loaded into cart
ridges so that it can easily be hand
led b ythe farmers. 1t has about
the same strength as 7. N. I. but
it is absolutely necessary to use an
No. cap to get the best results from
the explosive. 1t is being sold to
the farmers at &c per pound, which
is little over half the cost of dy-
Mantle
The explosive is expected to ar
rive in the city in the couse OF the
next few weeks. Farmers who have
ordered the explosive, will be noti-
fed of the shipping date so that they
can be on hand to get their explosive
from the car.
1t will be unloaded at different
points throughout the county, and the
farmers will be notified of the nearest
shipping point and are asked to be
on hand to receive their quote.
