provided for the four honor men by
the head offices of the company at
Milwaukee.
The Theodore N. Vail medal is one
of the greatest honors that tele-
phone employe can receive, and as
only a limited number are granted
each year, it is indeed distinction
to be the possessor Of one.
Mr.. Veno's act, which won for him
the medal, was the braving forest
fire in the woods between Mellen and
Cayuga, under his own initiative, in
search of a break in the Ashland
Abbotsford toll line. He spent the
entire night in the burning forest,
repaired the break, at great risk
to his life, and suffered sreous burns

NO SHORTAGE
OF CANDIDATES
SIX IN. THE RACE FOR THE
OFFICE OF SHERIFF
Two Candidates For County
Clerk, District Attorney and
Clerk of the Circuit Court.

| The political pot has started to boil
in good shape in Bayfield, county
and we are going to have an old
time election again with plenty of
candidates from which to make a
choice. There is danger of the poll
tical pot boiling over with the amount
of fire that is being kindled under it
by the several candidates and one of
the hottest campaigns in years is to
be expected.
The office of Sheriff seems to be the
plum that is attracting the largest
number, and six candidates are now
| in the field with others mentioned as
seeking the place. The candidates
thus far to announce themselves are
James M. Long, Peter Soronen, JOHN
Mcdonald, A. P. Stone, Harvey De
Mars and Soren Raarup, and these
are all actively working for the sup
port of the voters and the contest
promises to furnish a number of
thrills and to hold the attention OF
the voters.
For district Attorney two candi-
dates are in the field, Charles F. Nor
ris, the present incumbent, and John
j. Fisher of Bayfield,. These men
are opposing candidates two years
ago and Mr.. Morris proved the sue
cessful individual at that time. Both
will make an active campaign.
For county clerk Jake Yderstad
seeks reelection and he is opposed
by Charles S. Hansen. The race
promises to be spirited and both are
of the kind that can put ginger into
campaign and make the fur fly.
Frederick A. Bell and John Froseth
are to be opposing candidates for
Clerk of the Circuit Court. Both
are well known to Bayfield, county
voters and will wage an active cam
paign.
For the Assembly race three can
didates are in the field namely Frank
w. DOWllS, AhICU IA. w a. uSh esAA'A
C. w. Smith of Russell. The race
seems to be between Downs ard
Smith with the getting favoring the
Washburn man.
Mr.. Downs has served as member
of the Legislature two terms with
credit while Mr.. Smith is a new man
in the political field. A. M. Warden,
the third candidate, has been before
the voters at practically every cleo
ton during the past thirty years,
but is not considered dangerous
opponent.
The senatorial toogoo is being
souoght by Ole G. Kinney and R. j.
Nye, both of Superior. Bayfield,
county is now in the Senatorial dis
trict with Douglas and Sawyer coun-
ties. Nye has been the State Sena-
tor from Douglas county while Ole
G. Kinney is well known to the vooters
of this district, having made the race
for Congressman against John j..
Jenkins, number of years ago.

to one of his friends to see if it is Of
any value there.

A minister in. the MiGdle West,

of a church, married couple while
they wore bathing suits, standing be-
side a public swimming pool. His
church promptly preferred charges
against him and will try him for the
cffense of conduct unbecoming . min
lister.
A New York judge had before him
b prisoner charged with "slapping
his old father" The offense was not
serious from the legal standpoint,
since the slap had been undaraging
to anything save dignity. The sem
tence was that the offender paste in
his hat written copy of the Fourth
Commandment "Honor thy Father
s.nd thy Mother" and agree to obey
it. Commenting on the sentence, a
court officer said: at may sound fool
ish, but his neighbors will know it
and talk about it, and public opinion
will keep him well-behaved in future"
In a Virginia court, woman ac-
cused of the serious crime Of forgery
was sentenced to pay a fine of one
dollar and to spend one hour in Jail.
The court tempered the stern justice
of imperscnal law with the tender
mercy of compassion for the helpless.
The trial developed that the woman
and her baby had suffered hunger
and cold from lack Of necessities the
husband failed to provide, though
able. The woman opened a letter ad-
dressed to ier husband, found gov
ernment check for disability allowance,
wrote the husbands name on it, cash
ed it, and spent it for clothes and
food for herself and child.
An Indiana woman "died and kept
on living" according to the doctors
who attended her. The strange case
was that of a mother, run over by a
train and fatally injured, who was
kept alive and conscious for hours,
with mother-love anxiety over her
children, after her heart had ceased
to beat, according to attending physi-
clans.
