ILL ONLY SHORT TIME "A Two-scoRE RESIDENT
Mother of Mrs. j. E. Frankel
Died Suddenly Thursday
Evening at Milwaukee.

While playing cards with her
husband and children at her Mil
waukee home last Thursday even
ing and complaining of not feel
ing we'll, the death of Mrs. Peter
Leviasch occurred few minutes
after lying down on a couch.
Death was fastened by heart
trouble. At the time of her death
the family circle was almost COM
plete, most of the children being
at the parental home.
Mrs. Peter Leviasch, mother of
Mrs. Joseph Frankel of Eagle Riv-
er, was about sixty-two years of
age. For many summers she and
her husband, now retired from ac-
tive business, usually came here
and spent the greater portion of
the summer months at the home
of her daughter. During her Wis
it's in Eagle River she amassed a
goodly number of friends who
Sympath1Ze with the family.
At the time of her taking away,
Mrs. Frankel and daughter were
visiting at the home in Milwaukee.
Friday while M. Frankel and son
J. E. were driving overland to
Milwaukee, they skidded from the
highway near Leopolis below An
tigo and the car was turned half
over. Both gentlemen were cut
in many places by broken glass,
and made the remainder of the
trip to Milwaukee by train. They
arrived Monday morning in Eagle
River coming by way of Rhine
lander, having attended the fun
eral of Mrs. Leviasch on Sunday
afternoon.

GIVE MARKED HIGHWAY
State Commission Grant Main
Trunk Highway From Pei
lean North to Three Lakes.

1t nothing goes amiss before
next seasons traffic on highways
open, the Milwaukee or Chicago
motorist will be- able to travel
over a new state trunk highway
between Pelican, Monico, Gagen
and Three Lakes.
According to information given
out by the state highway commits
sion County Trunk G running be-
tween Pelican, Monico, Gagen and
Three Lakes will be taken over
by the state and remarked as a
state trunk line and placed as
such upon the maps for motorists.
This information was made public
last week by the commission after
it had finished the allotment of
the $500 additional miles of trunk
systems throughout the state.
Late this fall when the commits
sion met at the various county
seats in this section to secure data
on adding trunk lines, decided
fight was put UP by Amigo, Elcho,
Pelican, Monico, Gagen, Three
Lakes, Clearwater Lake, Eagle
River, Conover and State Line to
have Highway At, which ends at
Amigo, continued over highway
80 to near Pelican and from there
over highway G to Three Lakes
where it joined 80. From Three
Lakes north to- State Line it was
asked of the commission to stop
80 and continue AZ clear through
to where this highway ends at the
Observation-Disclosures state lines.
There it would connect with M26
the Michigan highway which runs
north to Ontonagon, Michigan.
1t is stated that the Michigan
highway commission has agreed to
remark their MIG to MAJ and con-
tinue this route to it's end at On
tonagon on Lake Superior. If this
is done, the Michigan motorist go
ing south to Chicago will have
but two marked highways to
travel overA7 and possibly IS
two mighty fine and direct routes
across the state for the southern
tourist coming up north. And an
other thing, this route breaks
right through the center of the
biggest lake region on earth-that
of Northern Wisconsin.

Some Bear Hunter

Frank Alderman of Phillips, has
been proclaimed the champion
bear killed Of that section of the
state since his recent hunting
achievement states the Reedsburo.
Times. While out after deer about
ten miles northeast of Phillips he
saw bear emerge from a cave
tie shot the varmint, but it was fol-
lowed by second. This one also
fell at the flash of his gun. When
he walked toward them to inspect
his kill third bear came growl-
ing and snarling from the cave.
A third shot ended it's career. and
the on the way home Alderman
stumbled onto deer which he
brought down with his fourth
shot that afternoon. Cooper's far
famed Natty Bumpo could have
done no more.

The ten days were devoid of
snow with the exception of a
slight covering the night of the
21st, when just enough snow fell
to permit of tracking animals for
a few hours. Every day was bal,
my and no one suffered from
chilly weather. To the man or
woman who were out for an out
ing rather than for venison, it
was one of the most pleasant ten
day periods of sport enjoyed for
many years.
There is much discussion pro
and con as to whether buck are
as numerous as has been reported.
While it was nothing in days
tramp to see does and fawns un-
der ones nose, so to speak, still
the festive buck was rather skit-
tlsh-one snort, a crash in the
brush and he was gone. Another
fact that lessened the possibilities
of securing a buck was that the
mating season had not been adj
vanced and the antlered fellows
were hugging the thickets and
swamps while the hunters were
on their trail.
From what can be cleaned by
information, from the various
sections of the hunting territory,
nearly every party, and there were
many, had come up to the hunt
ing territory in automobiles. Game
wardens not being permitted to
search any car with out a warrant,
were therefore unable to secure
a count of the deer taken out in
this manner. That there were
hundreds carried home by car,
cannot be denied. Also since the
law does not permit of searching
automobiles, many does and fawns
were slipped home by game hogs
and fellows with a desire for
meat.

Bounty on Coyotes.

Since the forest fires in Upper
Michigan have been raging the
past month many timber wolves,
coyotes and bears have been fore
ed to vacate their haunts. They
have migrated to Northern Wis
consin and many have been killed
during the deer hunting season.
Yesterday John Allen of Big ST..
German lake came in Eagle River
and secured $50 bounty on a coy
ote. Last week Carl Hessen of the
same territory secured a coyote
and fox, besides a buck deer.
Prosper Stein of Eagle River dur
ing the hunting season killed a
bear, a buck, but after wounding
a timber wolf, lost it on account
of no snow to track the wounded
animal.

Mrs. Kate Tierney Who Died
Wednesday Resided in
Eagle River for Forty-one
Years.

At the age of sixty-nine years
the death of Mrs. Kate Tierney
has lost to Eagle River another of
the pioneers of this region. Con-
tracing a severe cold last winter
her decline has been gradual since
then, and hospital treatment at
Rhinelander failed to build up
sufficient to perfect a recovery at
her advanced age. Death came in
the hospital last Wednesday, the
body being brought to- this vii
lage where it lay until Saturday
at the old home. Services were
held over the body at St. Peters
Catholic church at ten o'clock in
the forenoon, interment in the To-
cal cemetery
Katherine Walsh was born sixty
nine years ago in the town Ath-
lone, county Westmeath, Ireland.
When a child she and her parents
mirgated to Canada. Here she
lived until at the age of twenty
four she was united in marriage
to- Michael Tierney, man then
engaged in the shipping business
in Canada. One child was the re-
suit of this union. A few years
after her marriage husband and
wife moved to Baltimore where
their only child was born. From
there she came with her son, af-
ter the death of her husband to
Grand Rapids, Wisconsin.
Moving in 1882 to Eagle River
she settled permanently in this
village where her relatives lived.
At the age of four years her son
Selsie died and was buried here.
Since then Mrs. Tierney by her
goodness of character and mother
ly instinct became citizen to
which the community, both young
and old, gave her that reverence
to one who did good at all angles
and at a sacrifice to personal self.
She leaves two sisters and one
brother, Mrs. Margaret Moran and
P. D. Walsh of Eagle River and
Mrs. T. ]. Shea of Denver. A niece
Mrs. Jesse L. Mayo of this place
and two nephews, Ray and Will
liam Walsh, complete the circle of
relatives who will long remember
the passing of good Christian
woman and an old pioneer resident
of Villas county.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
Opens Thanksgiving Day to
Aid in Stamping Out Tu-
berculosis.

With arrangements virtually
complete for Wisconsin's sixteenth
annual Christmas Seal Sale and
Educational campaign against tu-
berculosis, indications point to a
record-breaking sale. The state
wide campaign will open officially
on Thanksgiving day and will con-
tinue until Christmas.
The appointment of the large
army of volunteer workers, who
will manage the sale in various
communities, is nearing compile
ton and his huge selling force will
have as it's leaders about 400 COM
munity Christmas Seal managers
and nearly 1000 rural and state
graded school teachers. Every
community in the state that is
interested in seeing Wisconsin
free from tuberculosis will be or
ganized. Thousands of CHEEKY
Santa Claus posters urging the
purchase of Christmas Seals to
continue the fight against tuber-
culosis will make their appearance
on bill boards and in show win
dows in all parts of the state.
Movie trailers and slides will also
be pressed into service.
Thirty-one million of the little
Christmas stickers have been re-
ceived at the Milwaukee head
quarters of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association and are
being distributed to all parts of
the state as rapidly as possible.
The Christmas Seal this year is
attractive enough to be sold on it's
own merits regardless of it's hui
manitarian significance, which
makes it double appealing. En-
bodying gay Christmas colors, the
seal pictures little girl sitting
In front of fire place, where she
sees in the bright flame a vision
of Santa Claus. Above and on
each side of the fireplace appears
the double-barred cross with its
promise of good health to all. In
addition to the penny seals, Health
Bonds varying from SIS to 500 are
provided for the larger contribu-
tors.
With statistics showing that
Wisconsins death rate from tu-
berculosis has been reduced over
81 per cent during the 16 years
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
Association has been active, the.
results of the intensive campaign
are most encouraging and hold
promise of complete victory ov-
er the White Plague. The largest
sale of Christmas Seals, which are
the only support of the tubercul-
osis campaign, in the history of
the organization is necessary if
the large program mapped out for
the coming year is to be carried
out. An important feature of the
program will be an effort to dis
cover as many as possible of the
$4,000 active cases of tuberculosis,
many of which are not suspected
by the victims themselves, in the
early and most durable stages. The
prevention of tuberculosis and the
proper treatment of those unfor-
tunate enough to have already
contracted the disease will by the
keynote of the Christmas Seal Sale
depends the extent of the years
work.

There are two methods now be-

For several years this town has
used a log roller and has kept

almost every town now owns, the
