COUNTY IN COURT

A case is being tried at Pine
City these days in which Pine
county is involved. About three
years ago the Morris Construction
Co., of Morris, Mimi, secured a
contract from Pine county to
build the bridge over Willow
river, just north of Willow River
village, but they did not complete
the job on account of financial
difficulties. The Iowa Bridge
Company were then engaged to
finish the job. 1t appears that
the Morris Construction Co. have
had other jobs from Pine county
on which payments have been
withheld in order to force a
settlement on the Willow River
bridge job and now that company
is suing the county for about
$4,000.
County Attorney Albert John

Roberts, Pine City, are represent
ing the county while Lamson &

ACT TO STOP EXTRACTION
OF man WHO BROKE PAROLE

Through the efforts Of Governor
George S. Silzer and Attorney David
T. WilentZ, Michael Mibrazick of
Woodbridge, who is on parole from
the Pennsylvania Industrial Re-
formatory, has beef allowed to re-
main at home and support his par
ents. He broke his parole by an at
tack on a fellow workman and
papers has been forwarded by Rec
order Martin G. Ashley of Wood
bridge, for his arrest and return to
the institution by the Pennsylvania
authorities.
According to Mr.. Wilentz today,
Mibrazick was sentenced to the re-
formatory for entering and larceny,
but was paroled on July IA, 1922,
and allowed to go to New Jersey to
seek employment and made his re-
ports regularly as desired, by the
authorities. Recently. however, he
got into an alteration with a fell
low employe, who alleged that
Mibrazick threw a brick or some
other object at him. AS a result of
this alteration an effort was made
to extradite him.
An investigation carried on by the
Woodbridge police and the prose-
cutor's office, showed that Mibrazick
has been living a clean life and that
he contributed at least one-half of
the support of his parents and fam
ily., Believing it would be an in
justice to extradite Mibrazick, At
torney Wilentz took the matter up
with the governors office, which has
resulted in Mibrazick remaining at
Woodbridge. Should the efforts to
extradite him continue, it is likely
that Mibrazick will be given a
hearing.
