Injured in a Fall.

Paul Javenkowski, a farmer liv-
ing mile east of the village of
Three Lakes is now in a hospital
at Amigo, suffering it is said
from an injured spine, brought
about by his falling from the
second floor in the farm barn a
week ago. From what can be
learned it is feared that his spine
was broken by the fall into the
manger. He was all alone when
the accident occurred and manag-
ed to drag himself from the man
ger to the outdoors where he at
tracted attention If he had not
been discovered at the time he
would soon have frozen, the regis
tration being twenty below zero.
Mr.. Javenkowski is over sixty
years of age and has resided on
his farm for years near the vii
lage of Three Lakes.

Wants Indian Village.

Rhinelander business men and
the chamber of commerce are
laboing toward the establishment
of an Indian village in that city
all during the summer months of
1924. The idea is that the Indians
will be parked just at the out
skirts of that city and will live
the primitive life as was done
years ago before the white tribe
invaded their territory. 1t is put
forth that this will prove a mon
ster drawing card for summer
tourists who will visit this section
of the recreation lake region. Its
good points cannot be overlooked
and the try-out this year will be
watched with much interest by
cities and villages in the state.
Seems as though the tourist will
be kept buster this year in seeing
the many interesting things build
ed for their sake than at any time
previous. Mighty good to keep
'em busy while visiting the state.

ness and prosperity so remarkable
when compared to other countries
taking part in the great war.
In carrying this burden, Wood
row Wilson's health was broken
1t is simple truth to say that he
gave his life in the service Of this
country and the world. Had he
spared himself in this service, he
would have escaped many years Of
lnvalldism and would have lived
much longer.
In his death the American ma
ton has lost a great man, and
whatever differences in opinion
we may have as to the wisdom of
Wilson's policies, the nation
mourns the man with single
heart.

TRAPPER FOUND DEAD
Resident of Boulder junction
Resident Dies During Cold
Spell While Walking to His
Cabin.

The frozen body of L. w. Pat
terson, aged about seventy years,
was discovered last week by sew
eral Boulder Junction men be-
tween the lake and the creek, and
but a short distance from Pat
terson's cabin on Johnson creek.
Evidences showed that he had
been dead for some time, wood
mice having eaten off his ears and
otherwise disfguring the face.
Patterson had been a resident
of that section northeast of Boul-
der for number of years, living
in a little cabin on the west shore
of High lake and north of the
Pope and Blaisdell resorts. Dur
ing the winters he had built him
self a trappers cabin on Johnson
creek, some miles east and occas-
ionally visiting Boulder Junction
for supplies which he would di-
vide between his High lake cabin
and shack on johnson.
According to a checking system
which he employed upon a calen-
dar in his johnson creek cabin,
the last time he checked was on
January End. He had visited his
cabin on High lake after that date
and attempting to make the jour
ney back to his trapping place
evidences showed he had became
exhausted and persisted. In his
hand he still grasped small can
containing kerosene and nearby
were a number of packages of
food. He was using snowshoes at
the time and from the position
of the body it was evident that
after he had fallen there had been
no Struggle.
Mr.. Patterson was an educated
man, and prior to his coming to
Boulder Junction and building his
home on High lake had held re-
sponsible positions. During the
summers he would guide tourists
around the lakes and was very
popular with all whom he came
in contact with. 1t is not known
whether he had any relatives liv-
ing in this section Of the country.

Three Lakes, bearing the date of
November-January. 1t is now a.
22-page affair and is according to
the announcement of it's publish
er, published for the recreation
interests of the lake region and
the state in general. Being re-
plete with halftone illustrations

diana, Illinois and southern Wis

wide association. The February
issue, it is said, will eclipse the
previous issues of the Bulletin.

THEY LANDED A SHARK
Six Hundred Pound Sea
Devil" Caught Last Week
by Hazen and Vic at Miami.

The News has in its display
window picture showing a 600
pound shark which was taken last
week at Miami, Florida by C. E.
Hazen of Phelps and Vic. De Lac
settles of Davenport, who is al
most Phelps resident himself.
The account of the days catch
made by the two fellows is given
by the Miami Herald as follows:
An 11-foot shark, taken in the
Gulf Stream just east of the Wire
less tower, proved the big catch
of the day, among fishing boats
yesterday. The hammerhead was
hooked by Charles E. Hazen, of
Phelps, Wis, and V. S. De Lac
settles, of Davenport, Iowa, who
spent the day aboard Capt. Tom
my Gifford's Bonito."
The taking of this fish, and the
acquaintance of the two men,
brings out a story which has been
told many times by Phelps people
and by guests of the Hazen re-
sort where Mr.. De Laescilles US
ually spends his summers and
most of his winters. Vic. is an
inyeterate fisherman, and when
! he hooks one usually loosens
yell equal to that of our old-time
friend Paul Bunyan. Vic has
hooked more big fish (and lost
EN- practically alb than any 9th
er sport in this territory. When
ever he hooks fish, no matter
what the size may be, he makes
the wooded shoreline of Long
lake ring with his shouts.
Bishop Anderson, of Episcopal
extraction, has a summer home
at Long lake. Years ago he build
ed a small chapel on his holdings
for the benefit of any church-go-
ing people who wished to spend
q portion of Lords day listening
to sermon, and the chapel is US
ually crowded, for the Bishop is
we'll known as a very versatile
speaker. One Sunday while the
Bishop was preaching, an unearth-
ly yell out on Long lake stirred
the attention Of the worshippers
in the chapel. Bishop Anderson
stopped; removed his glasses and
crossing his arms re mar k d:
Thank God; Vic has at last
caught a fish," He then resumed
his sermon as though nothing out
of the ordinary had happened.
From all reports of the Eagle
River and Phelps people now
spending the winter at Miami,
they are thoroughly enjoying bal
my weather and at the same time
wondering just how deep the snow
is and whether all the fish and
venison has been eaten up-and
no show of getting any more un-
til next year. Within the next
month, most of them will be hit
ting the back, trail for Wisconsin
