COlman is Poetic.

Rather a surprising thing to
receive a card from Niles COlman
who is wintering at Florence, Ala
bama, in which he becomes rath-
er poetic over the fact that every
time he reads the Villas County
News, the official organ of Paul
Bunyan and several more Indians,
he writes us something like this:
Like a soothing pine-laden breeze
from the big woods of the North
land, comes the Villas County
News, to this land of hogs and
hominy." Now it is a question
whether n. A. COlman is honin'
for the northland, or whether he
has taken up poetical prose and
running opposition to E. F. Hay
ward of ConOver.

NO DECISION FOR ROOD WHO RAN AT cAUcU:
Court Again Fails to Give a
Decision in Sheriff Case at
Rhinelander.
2-25-'22.

Contrary to all expectations the
supreme court last week again
failed to hand down a decision in
the Hans Rodd case. No decision
is expected now for another
month, when the supreme court
again hands down decisions. The
case was heard on January 8, but
delay in filing briefs was the cause
of the decision being postponed
over another month.
The court has been handi-
capped in caring for its cases dur
ing the illness and following the
death of Former Chief Justice
Siebecker. 1t is thought that this
is the reason for the delay.
This means that Hans Rodd will
continue TO act as sheriff of-Onei-
da county for at least another
month, pending the decision of
the supreme court as to whether
Governor Blaine acted within his
powers in removing Sheriff Rodd
or whether Hans Rodd acted in
good faith and shall keep his of
