JUNE WEDDING

The following wedding notice taken
from the Amigo News Item, concerns
a young lady very well known in
Eagle River few years ago during
her residence as one of the village
school teachers. Many Eagle River
friends extend congratulations and
best wishes for her in her new career
she has chosen.
Miss Irene Reader, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Reader of this city and
Ernest Beckley of Hibbing, Minnesota
were united in marriage Friday morn
ing at eight O'Clock at ST. Johns
church by the Rev. c. Sale The bride
was attended by Miss Ethel Beckley
sister of the bridegroom and the
groom by John Reader brother of the

WILL NOT CELEBRATE THIS YEAR


Eagle River will not celebrate on
the Fourth, but those who care for
speech making, band music, fire crack
ers and the other nerve wracking
specialities typical of the day, can be
Accommodated either at Minooqua or
Crandon where quite extensive pro-
grams will be staged For any town to
put on a real celebration or any other
form of entertainment designed to
draw and interest the public, means
not only one man but several of them
must devote considerable time to maxi
ing arrangements, after sufficient mon
ey has been pledged from the business
people who are supposed to reap the
financial benefits from extra large
numbers OF PEOPLE in town for the day
1t is doubtful if the hastily gotten up
over night affairs are ever worth the
time given to them, nor to the ones
who finance them AS Eagle River is
without band this year, one of the
most important features of all public
meetings, it is no doubt just as well
nobody made an effort to have the
Eagle scream this year.

''TwO-Gun Wagner" in
Hero Role on WiScOnSe
MIDNIGHT EscAPADE WITH THE
PoRKY BOOSTS STOCK WITH
MILWAUKEE PARTY

Chas. M. Wagner, the real estate
man of Milwaukee and Eagle River
who has maintained an office here in
the summer for several years, and who
by reason of his chivalry and courtesy
to ladies young aL6 old at all and any
times, is regarded by those who know
him with much regard, proved himself
hero once more down at his cottage
on the Wisconsin River, Monday night
Four young ladies from Milwaukee are
spending their vacation there, but af-
ter one night OF agony in listening to
strange noises made by the native
residents of the forest, came to town
the next day and begged of Mr. Wag-
ner to come out and sleep there while
they occupied the cottage as they were
too frightened to be alone at night
Monday night he went down as per
his promise to them and after playing
cards for while every one went to
bed About 1:30 a. nl.. he was awaken
ed by hearing his guests in much
alarm and debating whether to wake
him. They finally decided it was neces
sary and did SO, telling him that a
short time before an automobile had
driven up near the door and two men
were distinctly hard talking They
said they were still around the pre-
misses and thought perhaps Mr.. Wag-
nep had better go out but insisted he
be very careful and not get shot by
the robbers or whatever the intruders
might be. He dressed and taking his
revolver went out into the pitch dark
ness to investigate. He could see moth
ing of a car, but soon saw living and
moving object going toward the gar
age. He called out for it TO stop and
received no answer and just then step
ping on a sharp stone that did not
feel very comfortable to his bare foot,
he called again and said if the indiv-
idual did not stop he would shoot and
about that time did In fact he fired
all the shots in the gun and by the
sound knew he had hit his man and
whether dead or alive, he would be
there ready for identification in the
morning He went back in the cottage
and told the nearly historical ladies'
that he had killed somebody, but that
it was too late to notify the authorities
but that in the morning they would all
have to appear as witnesses. Bat as
it was clearly case of self defense
against unlawful visitors, that no one
would suffer for it. At daybreak he
again got up and went out to see how
his victim was getting along and
found him dead as he expected and
also much larger physically than he
had thought he would be. Stretched
out full length he was nearly three
feet long, and the largest specimen of
the fretful porcupine that he had ever
seen and to guests appeared mon
ster the like of which they never
wanted to see or hear again

their families will have to take care
of them for the rest of their lives.
On account of the shortage of food
and no ways or means to get food,
most of the children were later sent
to the interior cities where they lived
in tents and were cared for by the Red
Cross.
My mother tells of going to one of
the cities once where she saw these
children all wet and covered with mud
as the tents were so located that wa
ter was unable to get away. After
the Armstice was signed, the Jugo
Slavia government was established,
but conditions were not much bitter
They are now trying to improve condi-
tions by building roads, schools and
other public buildings, but it makes
taxes very high and many people are
unable to pay them and causes great
deal of dissatisfaction with the govern
ment. Most of the politicians and edu-
Gated people are trying to form new
parties and organize a republic SINH
lar to the United States, but the Ser
army and police power to prevent los
ing their kingdom. In consequence all
rules and laws are pretty much disre-
garded by everyone and there is much
fighting and killing of one another
The general conditions in Jugo-Slavia
and nearly all Europe are about as
bad as before the war, and people who
live there would not be surprised to
see another war break out any time.
My parents owing to their isolated
condition on the island knew but little
personally of the extent of the war
and countries and immense number
of men engaged in it. They did hear a
great deal of President Wilson and
looked to him as the one man who
could save them from their troubles
Although in the United States only
week, they are very much pleased
and say that it seems more like a
dream than a reality to them and al
though the past Is years have aged
them sadly, l hope that they may
spend many happy years here in re
turn for the suffering they went thru
in their native land.

LOG ROLLING CONTEST

In the timber country log-rolling is
known as a herman job. And, it is
such a thrilling and lively sport to
see the nimble Jacks" in competition
that every year the tournaments have
been gaining in popular favor. This
will be the eighth annual tournament
Husky logrolling experts from all
parts of the world show up for the
competition. Last year "jacks" were
present from Wisconsin, Michigan,
Minnesota, Oregon, Idaho, California,
Maine, Canada and far away Norway
These same timber belts will be
represented this year, according to the
entries, and many new ones will be
on hand from the Southern State lum
Der camps.
Jos Mad-Wa-Osh, the present cham
pion is a colorful figure. He spent six
teen years of his life on the ST. Croix
River as log driver. At present he
is planer in a sawmill at Cloquet,
Mimi.
He is a favorite to retain his title
this year and no doubt will take
to the logs heavily backed by his
hundreds of river friends who have
on4awn him in camps throughout the
great timber belt.
A gold cup goes with the prize mon
ey--this feature having been added
by VIM p Hart of Eau Claire, Wis
consin, where the last three world
tournaments were held.

Why" asks a newspaper man, "do
you say it would be less dangerous
for the Shenandoah to go to Spitzber-
gen and hunt for Amundsen than to
go from Lakehurst to Minneapolis and
back?"
ANSWER: Because at this time of
year crossing the Atlantic with the
prevailing winds helping going on to
Spitzbergen from England, with the
Patoka waiting there as base, and
exploring the Atcric Ocean few hum
dred miles north would be simple. 1t
would only mean flying the big She

of the Arctic, at roN great distance
from her base.
