BIG SEDAN RUNS OFF
GRADE-NO ONE HURT

Gerald Maloney was driving home
from Rice Lake Monday morning at
o'clock with his mother, his sister,
Eunice, brother, Norris, Viola Shaver
and Neal Slocum, when the spindle on
the left front wheel of his big sedan
became dislodged loosening the steer
ing gear, with the result that the car
left the road and slid over a steep
bank, lodging against tree and a
stump, thus preventing a farther fall.
The car tipped over on its side and
Mr.. Maloney kicked the windshield
out in order to get out of the car The
fact that he was going slowly and put
the brakes on tight prevented a bad
accident. The place where the car
went off the grade was on the east
side of Bass Lake, west of Weyer-
haeuser None of the occupants were
injured,

CONFESSED (?) HE
KILLED TAINTER
Untraced RumOr Connects AL
legged Forger With Death
of Recluse

A rumor has reached this city from
Rice Lake that a man named Albert
Getsleff, reported to have been arrest
ed at Green Bay, charged with forgery,
had confessed to killing David Taint-
er at the latter's home in the town of
Wilson five years ago this fall, and
taking $1,000 of Tainter's money.
Little credence is placed here in
either the reported confession or the
possibility of Tainter having been
killed by anyone except himself.
Tainter was a recluse, man of adj
vanced age, and a man of pecularitleS
but who was well-liked by those who
knew him best. He resided on a farm
near the Bucks Club hunting grounds
He was found dead in his home and
his death was carefully investigated
by G. III. Williams III. w. True, j. w
Carow, Elmer w. Hill, f. E. Munroe
and others of this city, members OF
the Bucks Club. From the conditions
as found in the recluse's home, it was
the conceusus of opinion of those who
made the investigation, that the ole
man had shot himself after first
shooting his faithful dog.
The suicide theory is borne out by
the circumstance that Tainter was
killed by a shot. through the roof OF
his mouth and that his rifle lay be
side him as though it fell from his
hands. Tainter had told friends thai
if he ever became SICK with the pros
pect before him of becoming helpless
he would first kill his stock and ther
himself. He sold his stock before his
death.

HUGE CHIME CLOCK
INSTALLED BY BANK

A fine four-way bronze clock ten
feet, six inches in height, with dials
two feet square operated by the mas
ter clock in the main banking room,
has been installed this week by the
Rusk County Bank at the corner OF
Miner-av. and West Second-st.
The clock is a beauty and is
equipped with Westminster chimes
which ring each quarter and the hour.
Cashier L. G. Streater says Of the
clock: ''We are proud of it, not only
because it is both beautiful and use
full, but primarily because we can
share it with our friends, all the peo.
pie of Ladysmith, residents and Wis
itors 1t is an emblem of life, ticking
off the minutes as they pass. 1t will
serve as a reminder of duties, engage.
ments, and obligations. Every fifteen
minutes, it's sweet-toned chimes will
send forth a message of friendliness
and cordiality, breathing the spirit OF
the institution it represents. Every
hour it will render those famous and
sacred chimes, the words to invoke
Lord through this hour
Be thou our guide
So by thy power
No foot shall Slide"

VOICE LOVERS
ENJOY TREAT
Talented Visitor Consents To
Sing For M. E. Church
Society

The music lovers of Ladysmith were
afforded a treat on Wednesday
evening. when it was found that we
had in our city singer of rare abil-
ity.
A concert was arranged on short
notice and due to more personal ef-
forts than advertising good crowd
was collected.
Mrs. William Frantz, aunt of Mrs.
George Diedrich, with her son, Dalies,
stopped here for a few days enroute
from Denver to Boston, where the son
will continue his musical training.
Although only IA years of age,
Dalies is a pianist of exceptional abil-
ity and lately won a grand piano in
a contest in which three states took
part-Colorado Wyoming and New
Mexico-and the contestants were
several years his senior. He always
plays his mothers accompaniments.
Mrs. Frantz is a dramatic soprano
with voice of wide range and he1
sustained tones are wonderful.
The first group of songs she sang
were from the heavier classics and
included: Dawn" by Curran; "Sac
rament,' by MacDermid VALE" by
Russell; and "Star," by Rogers.
Then followed two excellent mum
bers on the piano by her son.
The second group were familiar
English airs, followed by piano mum
bers, and the last group of songs were
two sacred numbers, ''The Voice in the
Wilderness by Scott, and Come Un
to Me-" by Handel.
Mrs. Frantz is soprano soloist at the
Until NJ e. church in Denver, and il
well known in musical circles through
out that state and the West

KNIFE FIGHT AT
CHRISTENING
Lands One In Hospital, Another
In Jail.-Peacemaker
Hurt

A christening ceremonial at the
home of Alex Bedowski, in the town
of Rusk, held on Monday, terminated
in fight which LED to a charge of as
sault with intent to do great bodily
harm, against Mike Romanszon, and
charge of being in possession of in
toXicating liquor, against Alex Bedow-
ski, father of the child christened.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Waltz, who recent
ly came to the town of Rusk from Chi
cago to make their home, were among
the christening party. Mrs. Waltz
wore the latest thing in eye glasses
at the party. This, it seems, produced
some alleged sarcastic remarks from
Mike RomansZon, who seems to have
resented any endeavor by the Waltzes
to put on style before the rest of the
company.
1t is stated that there was enough
moonshine in circulation at the party
to stimulate the bad feeling evidenced
against the Chicago couple. Naturally,
Joe Waltz resented any imputatiOns
against his wife. A quarrel resulted
between the men and actual hostilities
were about to commence when Mrs.
Waltz rushed in between her husband
and Romanszon as peacemaker, with
the usual result that the peacemaker
got the worst of it.
Woman is Cut
According to witnesses, Romanszon
had a knife, and in the fracas Mrs.
Waltz had two fingers badly cut in her
efforts to save her husband from bod
lily harm, The sight of blood appears
to have sobered the men a little and
Mrs Waltz was taken to Chetek to
have her wounds dressed by surgeon,
and later was taken to a Rice Lake
hospital, and it was said that ampu-
tation of the fingers would probably
be necessary.
Following formal complaint against
Romanszon being filed in Ladysmith,
the defendant was arrested by Under
sheriff Miller and brought to Lady
smith and he had a hearing Wednes-
day before Judge Williams in munic-
ipal court. The charge being a rather
serious one, and the defendant having
no attorney in court, Judge Williams
deemed it proper to adjourn the hear
ing to Friday to give the accused op-
portunity to engage counsel and be
properly prepared to defend himself
if he decides to do so. He was re-
manded to Jail to wait the adjourned
hearing. Romanszon is single man.
The trouble between Waltz and Ro-
MANSION brought to the attention of
the officers the alleged drinking of in
toxicating liquor at the christening
and a warrant was sworn out against
Alex BedOWski.

(By r. H. Burns, Co. Supt.

Mr. Hougum, supervising teacher, is
in Madison during the present week

pervision teachers called by order Of
State Superintendent John Callahan.
The law requires every supervising
teacher in the state to attend one con-
vention or school of instruction an
nually under the authority Of the state
department of education.
Nearly all of the schools throughout
the county are provided with teachers.
On Monday, August q, schools in the
following districts opened: District
No. 4, town of Thornapple, in which
Miss Essie Sigsworth is teaching !;
Dist. No. s, town of Atlanta, in which
Miss Verna Freitag is employed; and
Dist. No. 4, town of Strickland, in
which Miss Gregarson and Miss Sic
fert are employed. The unusual ear
ly opening of the aforementioned
schools is explained by the desire of
the communities to have potato"
vacation of a week or two little la
ter on.
Supt. r. II. Burns will depart Fri
day evening for weeks soJourn
among old historic spots in Eastern
Canada. New England, and New York.

Condition of Roads in Richland
County.

Richland Democrat: The roads over
the country which have caused
motorists, milk haulers and farmers
forced to get out upon them during
the past few weeks, to wreck their
accumulation of religious fervor, are
now assuming somewhat improved
conditions, though as yet far from
being ideal. To the south they were
perhaps never better, that is over
trunk line No. II to Lone Rock and
Spring Green. To the north ~and
west, however, they are filled with
mire holes which extend in some
cases from fence to fence, and into
which cars have driven within a few
days only to be extricated after siren
uous efforts on the part of heavy
teams.
