DISCOVER DEAD BODY
Settler Near Thunder Lake
Loses Life While Bathing.

Searchers late Wednesday dis
covered the body of Nicholas Kac-
merik, 40 years old, floating in
Thunder Lake, few miles west of
Three Lakes, after first having
found his boat, containing his
clothes and his dog aimlessly
drifting about the lake. Kacmerik
had lived in Oneida county for
many years.
The man, who was a bachelor
and lived alone, had not been seen
by his neighbors since on the prev
ious Sunday, when he was observ-
ed going out for a swim. They
became alarmed at his protracted
absence and instituted a search.
After looking over the lake
thoroughly since early in the
morning, they suddenly came upon
the body floating on the waters
late in the afternoon. The grue-

Autos Collide.

The Golfer Pierce Arrow and
the Petrozates Ford came together
ON the Everett road couple miles
out of Eagle River Saturday ev-
ening. What was left Of the Ford
was towed into the village to the
scrap heap. The Ford driven by
young Petrozates was going to-
ward Catfish, and luckily had no
other occupants. The Golfer tour
ing car loaded with young folks
who were coming to the village.
They came together near the En-
mons resort road. The speed at
which the Golfer car was being
driven was excessive, and when it
struck the Ford it is said to have
made kindling out of it, injuri,lg
the driver slightly. After hitting
the lighter car the Pierce Arrow
hurdled a deep fill, stayed right
side up and was rather splintered
along one side. 1t is stated that
excessive speed on that highway
will lead to a serious accident if
kept UP. The occupants of the
Golfer car were slightly bruised.

INDIANS AT FLAMBEAU
Ojibwas to Give Pageant at
Lac du Flambeau Begin
ming Next Week.

Visitors to the North Woods, es-
pecially those who have never seen
the American Indian at home, .
will have the opportunity next
week by going to Lac du Flam-
beau, forty-fve miles west of
Eagle River.
Last weeks Minocqua Times
tells of what you will see, as fol
lows:
The Ojibwa Indians of the Lac
du Flambeau Indian Reservation
will celebrate the opening of the
Indian Park Lodge for eight days
commencing Sunday the 10th of
August.
The celebration and pageant will
take place on the grounds of the
Indian Park Lodge which is sit
uated near the old Lac du Flam-
beau Indian village. 1t will be in
honor of the conquest of these
choice hunting and fishing grounds
from the Sioux by the Ojibwa In
dians.
For the whole week the Indians
will live just as the Indians of old
lived. They will make and use
only articles which were used by
their ancestors in the early days.
No modern implements will be US
ed except that that are absolutely
necessary.
Some of the things that will be
manufactured on the grounds be-
ford the eyes of the spectators will
be birch bark Indian canoes, reed
mats and bags, roofing of bull
rushes and buckskin moccasins
and hand bags.
They will be dressed in full In
dian regalia. There will be an ex-
hibition of Indian pony riding as
we'll as series of Ojibwa tribal
dances whose significance will be
explained by an interpreter during
the progress of the dances.
This celebration and pageant
will be fully as interesting and
instructive as any Indian pageant
in the United States and will be
sure to please and interest all
those who want to learn about the
habits and customs of the redman
who lived in Northern Wisconsin
before the white man came.

NEW RAILROAD RECORDS
DUE TO new EQUIPMENT

For two years now" says the Rail
way Age, the railways have handled
the fall peak load Of record-break-
ing freight business without any car
shortage. This was an achievement
In 1923, but the achievement of 1924
is even more creditable.
Traffic in Spring and Summer
of 1924 was much lighter than in
1928. total car loadings in the last
week of May being only 9ls,2l3. The
peak load reached in the week end
ed October % was 1,112,345 cars. an
increase since May of 194,132 cars.
The increase in loadings between May
and the week of the peak load in
1924 was almost 1ll.0o0 cars more
than in 1928. Nevertheless, in the
week when the peak loading was
reached in 1924 the railways had a
surplus Of 1892 scrviceable cars.
The marked success with which
the largely Increased traffic of the
Fall of 1924 has been handled is
largely due to the many thousands
of new locomotives and cars which
the railways have installed in serv-
ice within the last two years and to
improved operating methods.
