The people of Ladysmith will have
the opportunity of watching an inter-
esting spectacle when the crack pla-

ly at eight o'clock, as Col. Beverage
leaves at 8 :23. Everyone is cordially
invited and urged to attend. No adj

ject0r In Tony M. E.

One of the most unique programs
ever given in Tony was put on at the
Methodist church last night when a
motion picture machine donated to
the church by one of the laymen was
dedicated by the pastor, Rev. I. Har-
ry Kelly, of Ladysmith.
In his prayer of dedication Mr.. Kel-
~ declared that ''the motion picture
machine was intended to become one
of the instruments of the church in
its program of community service and
that it was to serve the interests of
education and the promotion of a
high type of recreational life among
the young people of the church and
community"
Following the dedicatory service a
three-reel biblical film. entitled, "Out
of the House of Bondage" and which
describes the life of Moses and the
exodus of the children of Israel, was
shown, to the great delight of the
large audience. Three other pictures
completed the program.
1t is the plan of the church to show
pictures of selected type weekly in a
series of community nights.

Two Points i'm First

many strong teams last year with but
a single defeat.

scoring the first basket and put up
such fast game during the first half
that Marshfeld scored but two points,
the half ending Is to 2. In the last
period Marshfield rallied a little, but
Ladysmith scored 20 points to the Wis

in the last half and played wonder

SIX YEARS
FOR FORGERY
Percifield Sentenced To Peni-

lists Operating
SEVERAL LADYSMITH
FIRMS ARE DEFRAUDED
Seriousness of Circulating Worthless
Paper Seen In Sentence of Con-
Victed Man.-LOOks Easy

Scott Percifield, of Ladysmith, ac-
companied by Dist. Atty. Falge and
Undersheriff Miller went before Judge
Wickham at Eau Claire, Wednesday,
and entered plea of guilty of forgery
in issuing worthless checks with in
tent to defraud. The judge sentenced
Percifield to six years in the peni-
tentiary, one year for each of 6 counts
charged against him. He will prob
ably be taken to Waupun today. He
was not visibly affected by the SEN
tence.
Mr.. Percifield found a bank and
check book belonging to soldier
named Gibbs, who had received mon
ey from the government as compensa-
tion for being gassed in France. With
other bad checks he has passed in
Rusk county and Barron, the total
amounted to over $780,
That there are other careless check
writer's in the community came to light
this week when at least three local
business firms cashed checks which
were not honored at the bank on which
they were drawn. From the similar
ity of the handwriting, the checks
were all written by the same person.
The seriousness of issuing spurious
checks with intent to defraud will be
seen in the sentence mentioned above.

FOUND DEAD
IN WOODS
Wood-cutter Supposed To Have
Fallen In Fit and SmOthered
In Snow

Oliver James, 65, retired farmer of
Tony, was found dead in the woods ON
the Ed Hauser farm, shortly after
noon last Friday.
Coroner O. B. Ellingboe. of Lady
smith, was called to view the corpse
and he decided that the deceased died
from natural causes and that an in
quest was not advisable.
Mr.. James had gone to the Hauser
farm, which is east of Tony, to cut
wood Friday morning. Mr.. Hauser
had to go to Tony that morning on
business and before he left he request
ed Mr.. James to come in to dinner
early. When he got home from town,
little late himself, he found that
James had not come in from the woods,
so he went out to learn what was de-
tanning him. He did not find the
wOodcutter where he expected to find
him, and after looking about awhile,
he started to the house by a different
route than he took when he went out,
md on his way he found James body
lying face down in the snow Then
he hastened in and called the coroner.
After an examination of the body by
the official, and having learned that
the dead man had long been subject
to fits, he decided that the deceased
had fallen in a fit on his way to his
work and had smothered in the snow.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon from the Methodist church in
Tony, Rev. T. Harry Kelly, of Lady
smith, having charge of the religious
service. Sunday night the body was
sent to Neillsville, former home of the
deceased, for burial.
Oliver James was born in New York
state and was a widower. He had
long been a resident of the Tony COM
munity.
