Election Day
Finds Few at Polls
More Interest Expected Late in After
noon and After Supper Hour
Little Contest.

March IS and election day, showed
little excitement at the polls, and
small wonder. There is no contest in
any of the wards with the exception
of the Fourth where two are running
the race for supervisor.
In other wards where there are sew
eral contestants, they are running on
opposite tickets, so their names will be
entered anyhow. This is true for in
stance in the First ward wh4re Fred
Becker and Alfred Grosvenor are
seeking the office of county supervis-
or.
The only interest that may develop
before the day is over is from the
"written-in" names as in some wards
1T is expected that names of super
visors, school commissioners and 9TH
ers may be written in.
Persons not registered as voters
will be given an opportunity by vot-
ing today to so register themselves.

alton of Labor against the road, was
handed down by the board in Chicago
last week. Previous to his discharge,
he had been employed by the company
for fifteen years.
The company claimed it was justi-
fed in discharging Thurk because OF
alleged remarks made to one Faber,
an employee who had gone back to
work before the strike was adjusted
and settled. He was alleged to have
stated to Faber that the latter, among
others who had gone back to work be-
fore the settlement, would be let out
when the strikers came back to work
after the settlement. This, Faber
testified, he took for a threat.

Cannot Release Co.
from Upkeep Clause

Madison Attorney Gen
eral Franklin E. Bump today advised
the county board of Chippewa coun-
ty mot to release the Wisconsin, Min
nesota Light and Power company
from it's bond to maintain highways
and bridges made necessary by con-
struction the company's dam at Wis
sofa.
In an opinion addressed to Harold
E. Stafford, district attorney at Chip
pewa Falls, Bump Pointed out that
while it would be legal to withdraw or
reduce the upkeep bond of $4,000
now subscribed by the power company,
it would be inadvisable.
The company, under an agreement
with the county board is required to
bear part of the cost of bridge made
necessary by flooding the Anson-Eagle
highway and all of the upkeep on the
highway The company claims the
actual expense of the upkeep is but
half of the yearly premium paid for
the bond.

ECHO OF SAILSTAD-
ANDERSON SENSATION
Mrs. Leona- Richardson Seeks Divorce
from Edward Sailstadt Who is
Serving a Term For Arson.


Eau Claire, .Wis-An echo of the
ii. elopement case which occupied
ic attention at various times in
the past hree years, will be heard at
term os Eau Claire county circuit
court here, probably late this week,
when Mrs. Leona Sailstad-Richardsen,
wife of Edward Sailstad, who married
Ross T. Richardson of Eau Claire
under the impression that Sailstad
had burned to death, seeks divorce
from Sailstad.
SailsSad, confined in the state re-
formatory at Green Bay, where is is
serving a four-year term for arson,
will not appear in the case, having
failed to file an answer.
Mrs. Sailstad- Richardson charges
non-support and desertion as her
grounds for divorce, and since testi-
mony in the default case, will doubt
less be limited to these grounds, no
extraneous matter touching the SEN
sational fight Of Sailstad and his
stenographer, Dorothy Anderson, from
Lake Nebagomon in August 1920, will
be introduced.
The Anderson girl was known in the
arson case in which both she and Sail
stad pleaded guilty, as "The Sunshine
Girl" She is confined at the Wiscon-
sin Industrial Home for women at
Taycheedah.
y For many months Sailstad was be-
lieyed to have persisted in fire which
destroyed a cabin at Lake Nebagomon
because Of the finding of charred
bones in the ruins. These later were
identified by Sailstad after his appre-
hension at Napa, California, last De-
cember, az the bones of deceased
friend, which he with the aid of the
Anderson girl had disinterred and
placed in the cabin as camaufage for
their subsequent flight.
For nearly three years Sailstad and
the Sunshine Grip travelled the coun-
try as typewriter repair workers.
Mrs. Sailstad later remarked and
brought suit to recover insurance car
ried by Sailstad in large amounts. A
number Of companies in which poll
cies were held declined payment and
made private search for Sailstad
which resulted in his subsequent ar
rest.

Sunshine |Giyl" were brought to
Superior where they were arranged
on an arson charge. Each received a
sentence Of four years. Sailstad and
Miss Anderson have announced intehz
tions of marrying after disposition Of
the divorce action and following their
release from the penal institution
where they are confined.

Rural Schools Are
Improved Much

Lacrosse, Wis.--AutomoBiles good
roads and awakening of the public to
advantages of education are RESPONSE
BILE for marked Improvement in the
Wisconsin rural school system in the
past forty years, John Callahan, state
superintendent said at meeting of
the Western Wisconsin Teachers as
ISOLATION convention here.
"In the neighborhood of thirty-five
to forty years ago." he said. "log
schoolhouses with home made seats
and furniture were quite common in
the state of Wisconsin. There were
no. school Libraries, none of the build
ings were ventilated. Many of the
teachers were people who had finished
the country schools and spent term
or two in summer school before GO
ing back to teach in rural schools
with little or TO training to fit them
for their jobs.
"Since that time l think it will be
generally admitted that while we still
have a number of old and poor one
room school buildings that the gem
eral average is much above what it
was forty years ago. Most Of them
are equipped with single seats. All
of them have library ranging from
few books to several hundred. Prac-
tically all of them are equipped with
dictionaries, maps and good black
boards. 1t is no longer possible for
anyone to start teaching without at
least one year of special training.
"The automobile and the good roads
make it possible for students to reach
the schools two or three times as
eften as in old days. These things
indicate beyond question that there
has been a great deal of improvement
during the last thirty-five or forty
years and yet when ,1ne studies the
situation. he is bound to admit there
are weaknesses"
Callahan recommended consolida-
tion of rural schools as the best
means toward improving the system.
In this way, better trained teachers
and longer school terms are possible,
he said.

M. THOMPSON Is
LOCKED UP AGAIN
Brought in on Charge of
p TntoxicatiOn on State
Warrant Today.
SAYS NOT GUILTY
Thompson Goes Over to Await
Hearing in Charge of
Sheriff at Jail.
SAYS NOT GUILTY

Morris Thompson, who has been ar
rested numerous times on the charge
of drunkenness, found things looking
familiar over at the county Jail when
he went thither this morning to
await trial on state charge naming
intoxication.
The difference between being con-
victed on state charge for intoxica-
tion and under city ordinance is that
the court-can sentence man to state
prison. The district attorney and po-
lice make use of this provision only
in extreme eases where there has
been an habitual tendency to the use
of alcoholic liquors, to the menace
Of the community and the distress
of household.
Thompson when brought into court
this morning would not admit that
he had been drunk Monday.
"The charge against you," said
Judge Slater, "is that you were cele-
brating st. Patrick's Day by getting
drunk"
II had a couple of drinks but / was
not drunk" said Thompson.
Guilty or not guilty7"
w SAiY Il WhpH
The case was continued for pre-
liminary hearing under bonds of $50.
Thompson told others that he had
come home, found the door locked
against him, and broke the window
leading from the hall into a bedroom
so he could crawl in.
When the case was called this morn
ing, Mrs. Thompson sobbing and near
ly hysterical, paced the street opposite
the courthouse.
Another Celebrates the Day.
Another man called before the court
for first offense on a disorderly
conduct charge, told the court that he
was celebrating St. Patrick's Day.
"Where were you born q
an the United States
'Then what business did you have
celebrating7"
"Why | was out with a couple of
good IrishmenI" cried the young man
briskly.
''Three dollars and costs, Remember
St. Patrick, he was good man."
T. Six arrested for speeding on
Sheridan road at 1:25 a. m, today was
fined SIS and costs. Six said he had
been driving a car for four years and
never been even reprimanded before.
He pleaded the early hour and the
absence of traffic on the streets for his
quickening his pace on the highway.
