WANT THEIR
MONEY BACK
FARMERS BRING SUIT IN
CIRCUIT COURT
Sixteen Farmers From This
Locality Seek the Return of
Their Money Invested in
Packing Plant.

Among the cases to be tried at
the November term of the Circuit
Court for Bayfield, county which is
now in session at the Court House
in this city are those of sixteen local
farmers against the Inter-county
Cooperative Packing company of
New Richmond.
The farmers, who through their
attorneys Walsh & Morris of this
city, have started action are L.
F. Kinstler, c. o. Hovde, Charles
A. Anderson, Gust Anderson, John
Legacy, ct al, Louis E. Irish, Elmer
Bergquist, A. P. Stone, Peter Kos
berg, Peter Kjarvick, Christ Dag
gard, Gust Wick, Nels Odegard, G..
A. Brunness, Ole Hove and Ole
Daggsgard.
1t is claimed by those bringing suit
that when they purchased their
stock, which amounted to 500 per
share, they were promised that the
Association would take all of the
cattle shipped to them by members
of the association, paying to the
farmers the market price or above.
One car load of cattle was shipped
to the packing company, it is claim
ed, and then it is said the associa-
tion refused to take any more stock.
The farmers now seek the return
of their money invested, together
with interest and cost of action.
The case is attracting considerable
attention.

Crew Here to Begin
Tearing up Battleaxe Ry.
ENGINE AND CREW HERE
THIS WEEK
Said to be Intention OF North
ern Pacific Company TO Be-
gin Tearing up Their Tracks.

The familiar sound of the whistle
Of an engine ON the Northern Pacific
railroad running into this city was
heard again on Tuesday afternoon.
That part of the Washburn-Iron
River branch between this city and
Cody was ordered abandoned by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
this spring following a hearing held
last December in this city.
This is the first time since the
announced abandonment of the road
that an engine has come over the
track ,and it is said crew was here
for the purpose of picking up the
ties and rails along the line.
Word comes from Superior to the
effect that the railroad company is
now hiring men and it is said to be
their intention to begin tearing up
the track running from this city to
Cody. This report could not be con-
firmed.
The state of Wisconsin brought ac-
tion to prevent the Northern Pacific
from tearing up their line of rail
road in this county and it is not
known whether or not tbs case has
been decided, but if the Superior ad-
vices are true then it can be ex-
pected that the company will begin
the work of tearing up their line
and will start work in the near fu-
ture. It is said that nearly one
hundred laborers will be engaged in
the work.

RUMMEL SEES
BUCK DEER FIGHT
DENIZENS OF FOREST WAGE
MORTAL COMBAT
One Deer is Killed and the
Other is Brought Down With
Mr.. Runners Rifie.-BOth
Large Deer.

A battle to the finish, waged be-
tween two buck deer, both OF
which weighed upwards of two hun
dred pounds, took place in the Bark
River country the latter part of last
week according to Charles Rummel of
this city, who brought home the car
cass of one deer and the head of the
other.
Rummel came upon the animals
just as the fight was being ended and
one deer was in it's death throes,
with the horn of the other pierced
through his head. The horns of the
animals were securely locked. Rum
mel approached the animals cautious
ly, but when he saw their heads were
locked together he crowded in and
watched the efforts of the live animal
to release itself. After watching
for a time he finally brought it
down with we'll directed shot, and
then he attempted to get the heads
of the animals apart, but it took
great effort to separate them, so
securely were they locked together.
Both animals weighed upwards of
two hundred pounds. The head of
the deer which had been killed by
the other was brought in. by Mr..
Rummel as was also the carcass of
the deer he shot.
! Mr.. Rummel was unusually sue
cessful this season. He also brought
home with him a bobscat which he
killed in the same territory. Mr..
Rummel said he was sitting on a
stump watching deer trail when
the cat came into the opening and
began playing. A well aimed shot
brought the animal down.

BOARD TO MEET
DECEMBER 9Th
COUNTY FATHERS TO HOLD
SESSION
Regular Annual Meeting Ad-
jOurned Until That Time
Much Business to Come up
For Action.

The annual meeting of the Coun-
ty Board of Bayfield, county, adjourn
ed from the first Tuesday in Noyem-
ber, will be held on the 9Th of the
coming month according to notices
being sent out by County Clerk Jake
Yderstad.
The reason the meeting was post
poned was to give committees time
to get their reports in readiness and
to receive the report of the Assessor
of Incomes and these will be ready
on December 9Th.
One of the propositions to occupy
the attentionof the Board at the COM
ing session is the question of another
small bond issue for road building
purposes.
The two mills levy will only be
sufficient to maintain THE present
highways without great deal of
new construction, and as number
of projects must be taken up the
coming season the board members
do not see how they can get away
from a small bond issue.
One Of the improvements that
must be done the coming season is
the rebuilding Of the big bridge over
Sioux River on County Trunk High
way C. This bridge is a wooden af-
fair, built nearly twenty-five years
ago and remodeled some years ago
under the direction of the Highway
Committee. During the past sea-
son the bridge went to pieces rapidly
and some weeks ago was closed to
traffic on account of its unsafe con-
diton. The closing of this bridge
is causing hardships to the farmers
living west of Washburn, and cutting
off the wood supply which comes to
this city, as well as blocking traffic
from the north part of the county.
The Road and Bridge committee re-
commend that a new structure be
put in its place.
Another improvement advocated
is that of finishing the construction
of the road extending from Port
Wing and connecting with the
Douglas county road which has been
completed. 1t is estimated this work
will cost about $4,000.

Good ROADS
BREAK DOWN
MANY SECTIONS ARE NOW
IMPASSABLE
Roads That Have Been Heavily
Graveled are the Only Ones
That are Standing up This
Fall.

Less than four weeks ago the
roads of Northern Wisconsin were at
tracing the attention of people from
all sections Of the country. In less
than two weeks they have broken
down completely in many sections
and in some places are almost i'm
passible. This is especially true
of the sections which were under
construction during the past sea-
SON as we'll as sections that had been
regarded. The cause for this was
the heavy rains, followed by snow
and freezing weather, which prevent
ed patrolmen from getting the roads
back into shape and in many places
the ruts are so deep that automobiles
are unable to get through.
Bayfield, county roads have ex-
perienced the same trouble as roads
in other parts of northern Wiscon-
sin and have completely broken down
in places. This is especially true
from the Mason corner south as far
as Grandview and along Trunk High
ways C. and E. as we'll as along
Route Is in the northern part of
the county. Many of these roads
were rebuilt during the past season
and had not become firmly packed
when the fall rains came, and ma
turally they went to pieces fast and
then freezing weather came which
left them in depiorsble condition.
The ruts are SO deep in places that
automobiles are unable to get
through. -
The roads that have been heavily
graveled are the only ones that are
standing the test during this severe
weather, demonstrating beyond the
reason of a doubt that this is the
best method Of road construction
that will stand up under all condi-
tions of weather.
Commissioner Friberg has been do
ing his utmost to get the roads in
condition before winter weather
comes on to stay and many road
patrolmen are kept busy filling ruts
and smoothing off the rough places
so that when the roads freeze they
will be in good condition.
& With the top surface of the road
frozen hard and the under surface
still wet and muddy, this is proving
"a hard task.

WILL TRY TO RUN
BUSES ALL WINTER
Busses Running Out of Ashland
To Park Falls and Bayfield,
Planning Upon Running All
Winter, Unless too Much
Snow Falls.

The Northwestern Transportation
company's ,busses are to be kept go
ing all winter this year if it can pos
sibly be done. A big six ton Kelly
snow plow and big ten ton tractor
have been leased to be used in keep
ing the road open between Ashland,
Bayfield, and Park Falls. ~
If they succeed n keeping the
road open for themselves, surely the
farmers with their 'lizzies" can ira
verse the same road. This arrange
ment will be very satisfactory to
people travelling between these towns
for as long as the roads are open
they can keep their cars going and
won't have to resort to the "cutter"
or the sleigh.
A new addition has been made just
recently to the routes covered by
these busses. A bus is now MAX
ing three round trips each day to
bayfield, from Ashland. On ac-
COuuL Ol Luc DdO TOdQ ILLS 6AOC III
the Long Bridge. the bus is going
around by Ashland Junction. The
trip was made on Friday morning
in AN hour and twenty minutes and
much better time will probably be
made when the Lake Shore> road is
opened up. The road crew is now
working on this bad stretch of road
and as soon as it is put in good shape
the bus will take the shorter route.
This new drive is expected to be a
very popular one, making the trip
almost as quickly as the train and
just as cheaply. There is much
beautiful scenery to be seen on this
drive in the summer months and it
will undoubtedly become very popu-
lar when the tourist season begins
again.
In the meantime the road will be
kept open by the Transportation
company for their busses and for
other automobiles as well.

CLOSED TWO DAYS
AT ONDOSSAGON
Ondossagon School Closed
Thursday on Account of Vac
cinatiOn for Small POx.-
School Opened Monday.

Because of the fact that few cas-
es of small pox had been reported in
one family at Barksdale, it was
deemed advisable to vaccinate al
of the students in the Ondossagon
High School. This vaccination took
place the early part of the week and
on Wednesday there were only a few
students\ present. for school, the
rest of them being retained at home
with sickness and sore arms re-
sulting from the vaccination.
AS there was only few pupils
present and most of them had very
sore arms, school was closed fol
Thursday and Friday. 1t opened
up again on Monday.

fined to his home the past three

TO HANDLE
THE SEAL SALE
PARENT-TEACHER ASSO-
CATION TO HAVE CHARGE
500 of Proceeds to be Used for
Local Health Activities
Everyone Should Purchase
Seals.

The central organization of the
Parent-Teacher Associations of
Washburn acting with the Parent
Teacher Associations of the different
schools have consented to take over
the annual Christmas Seal Sale for
the Wisconsin tuberculosis As
sociation, which starts in the near
future and continues through the
Christmas holidays.
A strong organization is being
formed and Washburn expects to
go "over the top" this year in the
sale of the little seals which have
done SO much to furnish funds for
wiping out tuberculosis from the
state and nation.
This year 500 of the proceeds de-
rived from the sale of the little seals
will go TO the local communities to
promote health activities during the
! coming year land this is to prove an
incentive to increase the sale Of the
seals.
The slogan of the Association is
"Save Your Pennies for Christmas
Seals. Health above all in Wis
consin, and Washburn. The good
they do depends upon you."
