kinney CASE DISMISSED
Former Officer Three Lakes
Drainage District is Freed
of EmbezzIement Charge.

Charges of embezzling $4,000
against Clark G. Kinney, former
treasurer of the Three Lakes drain
age district and president of the
Three Lakes bank, were dismissed
by Judge G. N. Risjord in circuit
court at Phillips on motion of the
state just after proceedings had
svarted Monday afternoon.
1t was held that Kinney had been
arrested before a reasonable time
had elapsed after the demand for
accounts and funds made by his
successor.
Kinney pleaded not guilty to the
charge when arraigned in Rhine
lander early in February. Early in
March he obtained a change of
venue from Oneida county to Price
county.
Last November Kinney was char
ged by Mrs. Cecile A. Ware, New
Orleans, with taking two diamond
rings valued at $500 from the
dresser in her room at the Con-
gress hotel, Chicago. Kinney denied
the charges, saying he was the vic
tim Of a blackmail attempt.

Preach on Conservation.

Rev. Skidmore of the Congrega-
tional church is a pretty good Wal
tor ian-at least he is starting out
in the direction where there will
follow fruit and much good to the
boy and girl who realize that
cleaner outdoor life means a cleaner
condition morally and mentally.
His sermon to be delivered Sunday
will tell the father and the mother,
and for that matter any man or
woman, that the girl or boy should
be made more of companion than
just plain boy or girl who must
needs stay in that class until they
have reached a greater age. He
is right in placing the youngsters
in touch with their elders; they are
really not kids any more.

CLovERLAND FARMER LAY THE CORNER STONE
Splendid Gathering at Serv-
ices When Lutherans Lay
Corner of Building.

Last Sunday the Lutheran con
gregation of Eagle River gave SER
vices for the laying Of the corner
stone to their new edifce of wor-
ship which is now under construc-
ton and which is expected to be
finished and put to use some time
in the early summer. While the
day was unusually cold due to the
high winds, a splendid crowd wit
messed the laying and listened to
the program which followed.
The services opened by songs in
general and the reading of a scrip
ture lesson by the pastor Rev.
Krubsack. Rev. Herbert Kirchner
of Stambaugh, Michigan delivered
a sermon in both the English and
German languages, showing his
hearers the meaning CT the corner
stone and how it points to our
Savior, the true head and corner
stone of the Christian church here
on earth. The choir sang an appro-
pirate anthem, followed by the SER
vices of laying the stone.
The copper box deposited and
builded into the corner contained
bible, hymnal, catechism, copy
Of church papers, constitution and
the last weeks issues Of the Eagle
River newspapers.

WHEN WORDS FAIL YUH
Deer Licks Ed Pauls Face
While Taking Picture of
Wild Animal.

John Bastlan over near Vinegar
sure put one across Ed Paul of
Eagle River last Saturday, but pos
sibly Bastian does not realize that
in keeping his pet buck deer near
the highway he is building up an
asset and should have it CONNER
cialized.
Paul, Sheriff Bowker, and Char
ley Johnston, who were returning to
Eagle River from Vinegar and
Winchester in behalf of the Amer
lean Legion's special edition of the
Villas County News, saw deer
ambling across Bastian's clover
field toward their car. Paul was
driving and when the deer was
sighted, stopped the machine,
grabbed his camera and told the
fellows he was in for good pic
ture Of avid deer" Paul crawled
through the wire fence into the
field and commenced getting
focus and snapshot.
Being busy and somewhat excited
he failed to notice that the deer
was headed directly toward him,
and his first remembrance of just
how close the buck really had
gotten, was when a soft velvety
muzzle and a rasping tongue
touched his hand on the camera.
Instead Of being a wild deer, it
was one that had been tanned by
Bastian and had the run of the
place. That is when words failed
Paul. He hasn't a word to say.

Corr were first-place winners in
the sub-district declamatory and
oratorical contest staged at the
high school last Friday night. They

Last Friday evening at the local
high school auditorium, contestants
representing the high schools of
Argonne, Crandon, and Eagle River,
met in the annual High School

this year be held at Shawano, on
the evening Of May LIST. From
there two speakers will be chosen
to represent this district at Osh-
kosh.
Each high school sent two speak
ers for each contest, each repre-
sentlng first and second places for
their respective schools.
The schools represented by these
young men and women have every
cause to be justly proud of them.
All showed that much time had
been spent in preparation and
effort expended.
Eagle River was doubIy fortu-
nate in securing first place in both
contests. In the girls declamatory
contest, first place was awarded to
lsobel Leggate with the declama-
tion, "An Alien" Second place was
given to Elise Lacau, also of Eagle
River, with the selection, "The Viii
lage Seamstress." Third place
went to Margaret Van lille of Gran

place was given to Edward He'd
berg Of Eagle River, whose Grafton
was, THE Immigrant Speaks"
The judges were two teachers
from Rhinelander and one from
Amigo.
The auditorium was we'll filled by
friends and relatives Of the speak
ers. Can't Eagle River send big
delegation to Shawano next Fri
day evening to help our boys and
girls to again carry off the honors2

BRANDON BANK CLOSED
Failure Said to Be Due to
Politics and Disappearance
of Cashier.

The First National Bank of Gran
don, Forest county closed it's doors
last week Thursday, due to inves-
tigation of the state national bank
examiner made after the disappear
ance Of the cashier last November.
Political strife in Forest county,
coupled with the disappearance last
November of John Fielding, former
cashier, are said today to have
played big part in the closing
Thursday of the First National
bank at Crandon by state
national bank examiner.
Closing of the bank had been
expected for several months, re-
ports today said. The examiner,
b eyond saying that deposits
amounted to $4,000; surplus $780,
600 and that capitalization was
$4,000, would make no statement
with regard to the closing.
Fielding disappeared in Novem-
Der last year and on December 81
was reported to have died in Chi
cage and to have been buried in
Minneapolis. Numerous rumors
have been current regarding his
disappearance.
Oliver Geiss, formerly with the
federal reserve bank, was brought
from Minneapolis to fill the cash
ier's position and found the bank
condition in bad shape. County
funds were withdrawn three weeks
ago when Judge w. B. Quinlan
issued writ of lnandamus on rep
resentation that the bank had not
been able to file a surety bond.

HATCHERY GET SPAWN
Nets Are Set in Many Lakes
for Taking of Eggs From
Pike and Muskies.

The state crew after spawn from
pike and muskellunge are finding
the season a trife backward, very
few of the fish being "ripened"
enough to warrant stripping. This
is due to the early clearing Of the
lakes of winter ice at least three
weeks ahead Of ordinary conditions.
The crew with nets are working
on Sand and Dam lakes southwest
Of Eagle River; on Vudesare lake
north Of Phelps, and on Big and
Little Twin lakes at Phelps. While
the number of fish taken in the
nets surprise the fellow who has
claimed the lakes are depleted, it
but shows that Nature takes care
Of her own, even though it is detri-
mental to the guy who fishes and
fishes and gets nary a bite. He
doesn't give the big fins credit for
knowing a thing or two, but rather
imagines a fish is a fish and moth
ing else but.
Last year the hatchery people
had a poor season all over the lake
region. Due to some undiscovered
reason, the eggs while being put
through their course Of incubation
in the hatcheries, would mass to-
gether and decay before they could
hatch. Several times the whole
hatch was thrown away and the
hatchery closed for the season. The
hatch in the Eagle River hatchery
last year was about half what it is
under ordinary conditions.
The hatchery men feel that this
year, with the water warming up
at the time of spawning it will in
sure a normal hatch for this place.

INTRODUCE PHEASANTS
Oneida County Sportsmen to
Start Raising Ring-Necked
Pheasants.

Approximately 100 pheasant eggs
will be received by the Oneida Fish
and Came Association in May for
distribution in various parts of
Oneida county, in an effort to en-
courage raising Of the ring-necked
pheasant, one of the most beauti-
full Of wild birds.
Eggs will be placed with farmers
and with others interested in the
work and will be distributed in
six or seven localities. Farm
ers in Starks, Crescent, Highway
View Flats and other districts have
given assurances that they will see
that the eggs are Matched and that
the birds are cared for until they
are about six weeks old, when they
are able to take care OF themselves.
A number of farmers have said
they will then provide grain for
the birds in winter, in hopes of
making it possible for them to sur
vive.
A letter from the Eau Claire
sportsmen's association endorses
the propagation of pheasants and
suggesting that the work will be
encouraged in schools, to acquaint
youths with the characteristics of
the birds. The Eau Claire club
