deer SEASON
OPENS MONDAY
HUNDREDS PREPARING TO
ENTER WOODS
Flock of Game Wardens Here to
Prevent Early Opening of the
Season by the Overanxious
Hunters.

The open season for deer in the
northern section Of the state of Wis
consin will open on Monday, Nov.
18th, and continue for 10 days end
ing on the 23rd of the same month.
In Bayfield, county more than 1900
hunting licenses have been issued
up to the present time and other
counties Of the northern part of the
state report large sale of the little
papers with deer tag accompanying
that gives the holder permission to
20 into the woods in quest of the big
game and it is safe to predict that
he woods will be swarmed with
hunters during the ten days of the
open season.
The law in respect to hunting deer
S the same this year as year ago.
One male deer over one year of age
may be killed by each hunter in pos
session of a license and hunting tag.
Deer are said to be rather scarce
This season and it is safe to say that
hundreds of those going into the
woods will return empty handed,
out this will not prevent the annual
pilgrimage to the woods.
Game wardens from the southern
sections of the state have been ar
irving in the county during the past
week TO prevent, if possible, the adj
yancing of the opening date by over
anxious hunters and it is said that
upwards of fifteen wardens will as
sist Wardens Gray and Powell in
enforcing the law.
1t .is unlawful to carry rifle
in the woods within five days of the
opening of the season unless the
same be knocked down and unload
ed or in a case and unloaded. War
dens are said to be searching cars
going into the woods to see that this
provision of the law is lived up to.
With the coming of the deer sea-
son it is we'll to give warning to
hunters to be most careful in order
to prevent accident. Hunters are
requested to wear bright colors in
order that they may not be mistak-
en- for deer or other wild animal
while moving through the woods, and
precaution is also urged about the
hunting camp.
In past years there has always
been a number of deaths and acci-
dents as the results of carelessness
and hunters should seek to eliminate
this entirely.

Mcdonald Beats
Stone for Sheriff
HAS A LEAD OF ABOUT
FIVE HUNDRED
Carries Every Ward in the
City of Washburn by Sub
stantial MajOrities. - Stone
Carries Some Precincts.

Anton P. Stone, running on the
Independent Ticket as candidate
for the Office of Sheriff, against John
A Mcdonald, the regular Republican
nominee, was defeated by about five
hundred votes in the election Tues
day according to returns received at
the Office of County Clerk Jake Yder-
stad.
Mcdonald carried every ward in
the city of Washburn by substantial
majorities, having lead of 154 in
the city. Stone carried a number
of precincts by narraw margins,
making his greatest race in Bayfield,
where he carried the city and town
by a small majority.
Stone was backed by a League Of
Voters and was known as the Law
and Order Enforcement candidate,
while Mr.. Mcdonald had the back
ing of the Republican organization.
Those who were familiar with con-
ditions throughout the county felt
that Mcdonald was safe and the
campaign for both candidates was
carried on largely by friends.
The vote in the city of Washburn
was as follows:

BOARD MEETING
IS ADJOURNED
COUNTY FATHERS TO MEET
DECEMBER 5th
Much Important Business to be
Taken up at Annual Session.
Meeting Adjourned for
Equalization Report.

The annual meeting of the county
board of Bayfield, county which was
scheduled to meet on the 18th of the
present month, had been adjourned
until Tuesday, December 5th, ac-
cording to notices sent out to men,
bers of that body.
The annual report of the Assessor

special report of the County High
way Committee which calls for a
small bond issue in order to complete
the road building program for the
coming year.
The county business transacted
during the past year will also be
gone over by committees whose re-
ports will be presented to the board,
and the committee of the budget
committee will be made at time.
If the. board had met on Nov. 14t'l,
an adjournment would have been
necessary and the additional expense
was eliminated by adjourning the
meeting until the later date.

SIOUX RIVER
BRIDGE UNSAFE
AND IMPORTANT HIGHWAY
is CLOSED
People From Northern Part of
County Forced to DetOur in
Order to Get to This Part of
County.

Because of the very dangerous
condition of the bridge crossing
Sioux River on Highway G, Highway
Commissioner Friberg took pre-
cautions this week and closed the
bridge to the travelling public.
For some time it has been known
that the bridge was in an unsafe con-
dition and all summer signs have
been up cautioning people to drive
carefully over the bridge. During
the wet weather of last week the
bridge abutements' settled further
and investigation brought out its
extreme unsafe condition, causing the
Highway Commissioner to fence it off
and divert travel over town road.
1t appears that the piling is badly
rotted, as well as the top surface, and
if travel was permitted to continue
over >the road some serious accident
was bound to occur.
The only outlet the people from the
north part of Bayfield, county have to
the county seat is a town road which
crosses Sioux river at point about
two miles further west, and which
in wet weather is hard to keep up.
The closing of this important high
way is working hardship upon the
people living west of the Sioux
River and may also force a lath mill,
which brings it's manufactured pro-
duct to this city to close down.
|. Some years ago the County Road
and Bridge Committee called the at
tention of this bridge to the County
Board and a trip of that body was
made to the site of the bridge to de-
termine what was best to do. 1t
was decided at that time to tenn
porarily repair the structure and
this was done, but now the under
pinning, as we'll as the surface, mas
become so rotten as to be unsafe and
the bridge was closed this week.
The county road and bridge COM
mittee in their annual report to the
county board will ask for an appro-
priation for an iron and concrete
structure to take the place of the
wooden bridge which has served the
public for these many years. To
patch the bridge, except for tenn
porary use, is a waste of public
funds, and no doubt the board will
authorize an appropriation for the
steel bridge.

A SUICIDE
BY HANGING
MRS. ROBT. CURR ENDS
LIFE YESTERDAY
Body Found Hanging in Base
ment of Home by Friends
Wednesday Morning.-Had
Been Mentally Ill.

Mrs. Robert Curr, wife Of the
former manager Of the Anchor Ship
building company in this city, COM
mitted suicide Wednesday morning
by hanging. Her lifeless body was
discovered in the basement of her
home yesterday morning at $3.50
o'clock by friends who had gone to
the house to visit her.
For some time Mrs. Curr, who is
SO years old, had been in poor health,
due to mental troubles and worries,
and friends and neighbors have been
caring for her. Mr.. Curr has been
in Philadelphia for some time where
he is engaged in work and Mrs. Curr
has been living alone at the family
home on East 5th street. She had
been married 40 year Wednesday.
Mrs. Geo. F. Morgan was one of
the neighbors who had been caring
for Mrs. Curr during her illness. Two
of the Morgan children were at the
Curr residence Tuesday night and
left there Wednesday morning at
seven o'colck. When they arose in
the morning Mrs. Curr told them
not to mind about kindling a fire as
she expected Mrs. Morgan to arrive
in short time.
Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Benton ar
rived at the Curr residence at about
the same time. Failing to find
Mrs. Curr and noticing the dog stand
ing at the basement door, they en-
tered the basement where they dis
covered the body of Mrs. Curr sus-
pending from rafter by rope,
death having occurred some time be-
fore. Doctors as well as the Sheriff's
office were notified, but Mrs. Curr
had been dead for some time. 1t is
thought the hanging took place
shortly after the Morgan children
left the home in the morning.
The body is now at the Hansen
undert aking parlors. awaiting the
arrival of Mr.. Curr from Philadel-
phia when funeral arrangements will
be made which we are requested to
state. will be strictly private.
