GAS EXPLOSION

While Andrew Baumel was having
the tank of his Gardner car filled at
the Gardner service station Friday af-
ternoon, he lighted a match to enable
him to observe the gauge. The result
was a gas explosion and the fire fol
lowed the spOuting gasoline from the
service hose For short time there
was lively doings about the street in
front of the service station Finally,
someone grabbed Andrews cap and
threw it over the opening of the tank
and the fire subsidized. Fortunately,
no one was burned
Ernest Hanson was ION the job"
however, and grabbing Andrews cap,
threw it over the opening in the gas
tank, thus smothering the fire, used
the same process to put out the fire
at the end of the hose from the filing
station tank, and helped Andrew push
the car away from the blaze on the
ground, which Fred True put out with
fire eXtinguisher.
Fortunately, no one was burned,
nor was any damage sustained by the
car. The result might easily have
been far more serious.

500 and Omaha Railways Put
In Transfer Track at
junction
MARKS ELIMINATION
OF LONG LEGAL FIGHT
Will Bring Timber To Ladysmith Not
Otherwise Obtainable.-100 Men
at Work

Results almost as beneficial to La
dysmith as the securing of another
industry will follow the putting in of
the connection between the 500 and
Omaha railways at Lexington, which
is now being done.
The Menasha Wooden Ware Co.
owns considerable timber accessible
from the Park Falls branch of the
Omaha which can be profitably
brought to Ladysmith for manufac-
turing, as soon as the new connection
is completed. 1t has heretofore been
part of Sawyer county to Ladysmith
via Rice Lake and Cameron, a very
roundabout way, and the freight
charges were almost prOhibitive.
Ladysmith will now be in a position
to get timber from the Park Falls
branch at an advantageous freight
rate and as result a considerable
quantity Of timber will come to this
city to be manufactured that would
otherwise have gone elsewhere.
The Great Western Paper Co. will
doubtless be able to buy considerable
pulpwOOd along the Omaha now, in
fact, they have already signed one
contract this week for timber on that
branch that they could not have Sc
cured but for the new connection.
Making this connection marks the
successful elimination of long legal
fight, waged largely by Ladysmith par
ties who are interested.
About one hundred men are en-
employed in the work at Lexington.

HOSPITAL RECEIVES
VALUABLE PRESENTS

Mrs Emma Elli2gson, wife of the
deceased c. K Ellington, recently pre-
sented to st. Mary's hospital Baby
Bathing Table electrically heated,
also a Baby Metefic scale" These
two articles are very valuable and
should not be appreciated by the hos
pital management and doctors alone,
but by the entire community. They
are a great asset to the hospital ow-
ing to the fact that they mean so much
to the care of the newborn child.
The Sisters are most grateful to this
good lady and appreciate her kind
ness. She is nobly carrying out the
spirit of charity and generosity mani
tested by her departed husband to st.
Marys hospital ever since it's estab-
lishment in Ladysmith. He was one
of those rare characters who did not
distinguish between man and man.
Being possessed of the true Christian
spirit, the hand of charity was ever
extended to help a worthy cause and
alleviate suffering humanity. 1t is
gratifying to know that his spirit still
lives on III those he left behind to
mourn his loss.
During the past month the hospital
was also the recipient of a very val
liable gift from Miss Matte Hayes, in
that of dozen student chairs for
the hospital training school This is
a most useful present, and Miss Hayes
is to be highly commended for her
generosity, the more SO, because of the
fact that she was graduated only last
June from st. Mary's Hospital Train
ing School, Minnesota, consequently,
she did not give out of her abundance.
1t is a pleasure for all of us to
know that in this selfish age, there
still exists noble characters who find |
happiness in giving.

Slaughter Was Less Than In
Former Years For Several
Reasons
CARCASSES CARRIED
ON AUTOMOBILES
Weather Was soft" and Some Veni.
son Was Canned and Some JerIxed
To Keep 1t From Spelling

Not the usual large number of deer
were killed in Rusk county during the
hunting season just closed. There are
several reasons for this. The season
was in favor of the deer, as there was
no snow in any but the eastern part of
the county, and in that section it came
late. In some parts of the county
wolves have killed or driven the deer
out, and in many parts brush has
grown up thick and tall after the tim
ber on the land had been logged off,
making it easy for deer to hide and
avoid the hunter.
Quite number of automobiles CON
tanning hunting parties and with deer
'carcasses lashed to the running boards,
have passed through Ladysmith this
week on the way to points south.
In seasons past, great truckloads of
deer carcasses would be seen toward
the close of the season on the Lady
smith depot platform, ready for ship
ment by express. Now most of the
carcasses are transported by aut0mO-
bile.
The weather was too soft during
the season to be favorable for the best
keeping of venison. Some venison
was canned" and some was "jerked"
in order to save it. The tightening up
of the weather near the close of the
season saved much meat from spelling.
All parts Of the county were combed
for deer and there was a large element
of luck in the hunting. Some got
theirs without half trying, while 9th
ers hunted hard throughout the season
without getting shot, and old hunt
ers, too. The automobile and good to
fair roads penetrating all parts of the
county has made it easy to reach
hunting grounds in quick time.
