FINDS FLOATING BODY
Fisherman Casts Bait Near
Log But Discovers it to Be
Body of Drowned Man.

A gruesome discovery was made
by Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Brown of
Indianapolis on Monday of this
week while fishing the shores of
Potfish lake west of Hillside Re
sort on Lac Vieux Desert about a
mile from the resort. What
they thought was a log partly
submerged was the bloated body
of man floating near the shore.
The body when taken ashore was
in such a condition that Identified
ton was impossible, but it is
thought to have been one of the
employees of the Hackley-Phelps-
Bonnell Company of Phelps who
had been cutting wood on their
holdings north of Phelps.
Coroner Denton viewed the body
Monday afternoon. There was no
evidence of foul play and it was
taken to Phelps where partial
identity proved that it was some
wondering fellow who had possibly
worked for the company and who
had disappeared some two weeks
ago. The body was that of a man
of about forty or forty-fve years;
smooth shaven and dressed as a
laborer He had about four dollars
in change in his pockets, but abso-
lutely nothing else to show who
he was. The body was brought to
Eagle River and buried late Mon
day night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, who are at
the Hillside resort on their honey
moon, will remember their exper-
fence on the little lake for many
years. Mr.. Brown states that he
and Mrs. Brown walked through
the woods to Potfsh lake about a
mile away, and it was while he
was casting toward the shore he
noticed the log. He made a cast
near it, and while retrieving the
lure noticed it's peculiar forma-
ton. Closer Identification revealed
the partly submerged body of a
man lying face downward in the
water. 1t was he who gave infor-
nation to the authorities.

Has Combination Coach.

The "scoot" passenger run on
the Northwestern between Monico
and Watersmeet has been curtail-
ed as far as equipment is concern
ed by the taking off of the two
day coaches on the morning and
afternoon trains. The first of the
week a combination smoker and day
coach took the place of the two
which graced this mighty fine
little short run through Eagle
River. 1t is said that due to lack
of traffic the change was made,
and in so doing the railroad saves
the extra salary Of one brakeman.
Anyhow, the train is somewhat of
"a stubby affair, and will possibly
continue so until the traffic in
creases after the regular through
trains are taken off next month.
Conductor S. D. Warren has again
taken. over the destinies of this
train, beginning his duties Monday
morning after two months va
cation.

Believes All He Hears.

1t took H. C. Goldsmith of Viro-
qua but a few days to verify the
statements made him by the Rev.
w. j. Davies, pastor of the Viro-
qua Congregational church, but
former Villas county booster and
resident, that there was no other
spot in the wide domains of the
world to equal that of the lake re-
gion lying within the boundaries
of Villas county. Mr.. Goldsmith,
together with his family and Miss
Francis Seeman drove up to Eagle
River last Saturday for short
session with the woods and waters
of this lake region. They were,
while here, under guidance of Mr..
Kornreich of the Standard Paper
Co., Milwaukee, who is a lake
frontage owner on several of the
lakes in this section. Driving out
Sunday to Big Bass lake east of
Eagle River, the party after ex-
ploring the scenic shores of this
lake, took to boat and filled their
creels with game fish after a few
hours casting and trolling. They
left Monday morning for home.
Mr.. Goldsmith recently purchased
the Viroqua Censor, one of the
oldest newspapers in the lower
part of the state, and has made
many radical changes toward the
improvement Of that paper. His
first trip has shown him that there
are other spots in the state be-
sides the southern part where real
men and real women congregate
for the summer season, and far
Their than that, plant themselves
and all of their worldly posses
sions in one of the finest spots
in the world. This land of smiles
for miles and miles has taught
just such men as Davies and Gold
smith that money is not all there
is to this life Of ours.

church, consisting of Amos Rad
cliffe, chairman, E. w. Ellis, Au-
gust Krieck, Fred Strong and A.
J. Austin, secretary. A campaign
for funds for the building will be
put over next week by the men
of the church. The women,
through the organization known
as the Earnest Workers, have al
ready pledged $4,000 which they
will turn over to the fund in full
by January 1. The men plan to
cover the balance needed by solici-
tation of cash and pledges.
The church is going to build a
house of worship that will be a
distinct addition to Eagle River, in
every way, and it rightly and con
fidently expects the generous sup
port Of the citizens.
Work on the new church will be-
gin as soon as the Mcintyre house
can be moved and will be rushed
with all possible speed. The con
gregation will continue to hold
services in the present church.
After the new church is COM
pleted, the old church, according
to present plans, will be converted
into an attractive colonial type of
house, to serve as a parsonage.
The church is now looking for
a competent leader for a progress
sive program. Rev. Edwin A.
Ralph Of Columbus, Ohio, is devot-
ing the vacation months to the
pastorate. 1t is hoped to secure a
permanent pastor by September /.

AN OLD TIME RESIDENT
Senator Werden of This Dis
trict Over From Ashland
Yesterday Renewing Ac-
uuaintances.
quaintances.

G.. H. Werden, senator from this
district, whose home now is Ash
land, spent a portion of yesterday
in Eagle River with Mrs. Werden,
while making a trip through this
section of the state.
Mr.. Werden visited the News
office and in a statement of the
improvements the village had I'M
edrgone since his last visitation,
he gave forth a few incidents of
the real history of this village.
Somewhere about forty years ago
Mr.. Werden worked in this section
and was very familiar with the
few old-timers now left. He re-
membered the Cook & Dickinson
store on the corner of Railroad
and Division street; the Denton
House with Al Denton as propri-
etor and one or two other stores
which then constituted the village
proper. Said there were more
thirst parlors than residences, but
at that the old Eagle River was
some" town in those days.
Senator Werden, while not a
candidate for reelection this fall
states that the sportsmen of Nor
thern Wisconsin needs work hard
for the betterment of fish and
game conditions during the next
legislature. The resort men must
in his opinion, band together and
fight some of the vicious laws

Entertained Many Friends.

Mr.. and Mrs Herman Ketz the
past week entertained number of
friends at their farm home in the
town of Washington. Those who
enjoyed the hospitality at the
Ketz home were Mrs. Swanson,
eighty-one years of age and her
daughter and two grandchildren;
Mrs. Lenzen and Mrs. West of
Chicago and Mines Loutsch and
Schmidt of Morton Grove, Ill. The
members of this party were very
much taken with the beauty of the
North Woods, it being their first
trip over the old hidden roads to
some inland lake which had not
been changed by the hand of man
or artificial spoilation.

Citizens of Eagle River, what
ever their church connections, are
rightly interested in the building
of a new Congregational church,
which when finished will appear
as in the accompanying picture,
except that it will face the south
west, bringing the tower to the
left of the main building. 1t was
intended originally, to build the
church on the present location.
Last week, however, the church
secured possession of the Fred Nc
Intyre property and will reverse
the arrangement of the plans ac-
cordingly.
The new location is a distinct
advantage as it sets the rear of
the church to the north and gives
the church the benefit of the east,
south and west light.
The new building will be 44x80
feet with tower IA feet square
IN addition. 1T Will be constructed
of brick with stone trimmings and
laid on concrete foundation.
Many and large windows will af-
ford the best possible light by day.
Indirect electric lighting will be
installed for use at night.
The church will be well arrang-
ed for the several practical pur-
poses for which modern church
plants are designed. The tower
room will afford commodious
vestibule and serve as a destribut-
ing point. in front Of you as you
enter the vestibule are doors OPEN
ing into a beautiful suite of rooms

to the auditorium by means of
folding doors. The social room
on the south end Of the church
will also open up into the audi
forum.
With these additions, the church
will have a seating capacity Of
nearly 500, which will be a great
asset to the community. A stair
way in the vestibule will lead to
a room upstairs, right over the
main social room. This will also
be used for Sunday School and
Community purposes and for
young peoples gatherings. 1t can
be thrown open and serve as a
gallery for the auditorium should
occasion demand.
The basement will extend under
meath the entire church and will
be entered from the veStibule. 1t
will contain an up-to-date kitchen,
large diningroom that will also
serve as a play room, toilets, organ,
water, fuel and furnace rooms.
The church, when completed,
will cost, exclusive of organ and
other furnishings, $4,000. It will
be one of the most beautiful and
best equipped churches in northern
Wisconsin, far superior to churches
in many cities much larger than
Eagle River. 1t will also serve
adequately for the practical pro-
CRANE of modern, progressive
church..
The project is in the hands of
the building committee of the

ROBBERY AT ROBBINS
Store in Oneida County's
Village Broken Into and
Merchandise Taken.

Robbers last Wednesday night
broke into and looted the Knapp
and Jones store at Robbins, IA
miles from Rhinelander, and
escaped with $500 worth of mer-
chandise,
A checkup is being made at the
store in an effort to establish just
how much was taken. Sheriff
Chas. : Crofoot of Oneida county
sent a deputy to aid the store
managers to find out the total
amount of their losses.
The robbery was staged in much
the same fashion as the recent
robberies in Rhinelander and in
adjoining towns. Officers are of
the opinion that this latest affair
is but another crime of the bandit
gang that is sought here and who
are believed to make this town
their headquarters.
Just what time the looting of
the general store took place is I'M
known, but it occurred between
the hours of 10 o'clock night and
Z o'clock morning, when the man
who opens up discovered the place
in disorder.
Clothes, tobacco and candy was
all that was stolen from the store
The type of the loot is the main
reason why officers think that it
is but another one of the gangs
activities in this county.
Sheriff Crofoot has every avail.

to be used for Sunday School pur-
poses on Sundays and for social
and community gatherings on
week days. These rooms will be
made especially attractive by the
east and south light. To the
left is the passage way into the
auditorium, a large well-lighted
room seating about 200 people,
The choir and organ lofts and the
pulpit will be in the north end
The organ pipes will be hidden be-
hind screens as is the custom in
many modern churches. The or
gan will be to the right, on the
east, thus making it possible for
the organist to direct the choir
There will be room in the choir
loft for a chorus of thirty voices.
The choir loft and pulpit will be
set off from the auditorium by a
simple, dignified altar rail.
The organ is to be the gift of
Mrs. A. H. STANCE of Merrill, a
gift additional to the generous
contribution of Mr.. STANCE which
has made possible the erection of
this beautiful church building.
The arrangement of the seating
will be practically the same as
that of the present church.
To the east of the auditorium
is a transept, IA feet wide and ex-
tending the entire length Of the
church. In this transept will be
located a study for the pastor and
several Sunday School rooms. The
Sunday School rooms will open in

which are killing the livelihood of
both resorts and men who cater to
sports as matter of direct re-
enumeration to themselves.
The present condition of having
no size limit on game fish needs
the attention of every resident in
the state and principally this sec
ton. Mr.. Werden was an active
worker against this taking off the
limit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Werden will tour
the middle and northern part of
the state, they leaving in the af-
ternoon for Pelican and points

quarters at The Tilden resort.
With Mr.. Brooks are Mr.. and Mrs.

FALLS DOCTORS DECLARE
HE CANNOT LEAVE ROOM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30:-Physi-
clans attending Albert FAN told the
senate oil committee today that the
former interior. secretary is in no
condition to appear before it and
testify.
The hearing was sehind closed
doors, and details were not divulged.
1t was learned, however, that the
doctors related how MIR. Fall had
remained in his room continuously
since his arrival in Washington last
Thursday night, had shown little #
any Improvement from day to day
and had reached a stage of nervous
exhaustion threatening collapse.
The purpose of the hearing was
to enable the committee to decide
whether it would call Mr.. Fail be-
fore it or appoint subcommittee
to examine him in his sickroom, as
suggested by his counsel.
Since he came to Washington the
one-time head of the interior de-
partment has been in the apartment
of J. w Zevely. counsel for Harry
F. Sinclair, in an exclusive apart
ment house in northwest Washing
ton. Arriving late at night from
New Orleans in company with Mr..
Zevely, he was taken to the apart
ment to remain until morning and
it was said he then would go to
hotel. He has not, however, left
the place since.
