dent of the Policemen's Association

Police Trial Board on January 10,

Smith to testify, sought an opinion
regarding the law in Mr.. Smiths
case.

a request for information on officer
smiths case. The Commissioners

getting an opinion as TO the question
of law involved. Several members of
the committee, who are lawyers hav-
ing poo-pooed as ridiculous the ques-
tion of technical viola tion of the
law
Representative Rathbone said that
the Smith case is important for the
committee to consider at this time
when there is such a demand for a
traffic law and n traffic bill, is about
TO be passed. He said. if just as this
law is about to go into effect it is
shown that a police officer is pun
ished for attempting to enforce the
law, il would be enforcement which
would be difficult.

Mr.. Cappellini also professed to see
in the action Of the various locals an
early termination of the Pennsylva-

this concern have been tied up for
more than eight weeks, the walkout
having been directly responsible for
the general strike threat. Union Off

IT'S TOO HOT IN SUMMER
Just Right in Winter for Muir
rays Jingle Bells" Ford,
So Old il Ratified.

Won't run in summer because
it gets too hot; runs like every
thing in winter; some car"
Walter Murray of Clearwater
Lake, former mayor of that ham
let and the only storkeeper in town,
came up last Wednesday to try out
Jingle Bells on the concrete.
Therein lies story, most Of which
we have forgotten, for it has been
over five or six years ago and MEM
DRY won't bring it all back.
Anyhow, some years back when
Ford began making his first cars,
Walter Murray of Clearwater
bought a secondhand Ford, the
best he could stand for at that
time. 1t was terribly battered up
and ratified so musically that Louie
Pope named it Jingle Bells" This
old car and Walter and the family
we're therefore known all over this
country; couldn't help knowing him
when he drove the cart made
such a funny noise when it was in
gear and under Roadway that
people around Clearwater would
quit using the telephone when he
cranked up Jingle Bells" The
noise was so terrific it was caught
up by the telephone wires and all
you could hear was the noise from
Vie car. Static on the radio never
had look-in when the old car got
warmed up. 1t played a musical
rattle that never has been dupli-
Gated according to Mark Banta Of
Rhinelander who is said to have
sold Murray the fivver.
That's about all there is to it, ex.
cept funny story which happened
one night when Murray and Pope
were out in Jingle Bells But
that has been told before. Murray
still has the old car but the town
authorities in Three Lakes have
placed an embargo prohibiting the
taking out Of this car except dur
ing the cold weather. Why, Muir
ray failed to state other than that
it run likell in winter but was
sickly during the hot months.

Has Pet Wolf Cub.

John Young of Kempster, Lang
lade county where he has been
staying on vacation at resort
near there, has a six-months old
wolf cub which he leads around on
chain just the same as a pet dog.
Young captured the cub and is
training it for a companion. He
has stated if he can catch another
wolf he will start in breeding
wolves for pets. That is not an inn
possibility, providing Young does
not keep to the clear strain of
wolf but interbreeds with the dog
family. A pure wolf for a pet is
just little too hazardous.

PRESEASON HUNTERS
Eighteen Deer Killers Ar
rested and Heavily Fined
for Violation.

Within the past ten days eighteen
men have been arrested by conser-
walton wardens in Price and Ash

ally hunting deer. The majority

fines Of $50 each.
Among the number arrested were
Adolph, Oscar and Herman Schum-
land, three brothers who reside
near Phillips. They were arrested
in Ashland county and deer car
cass was found in their automobile.
They were found guilty in the Ash
land county municipal court of
killing deer out of season and were
each assessed fine of $50 and costs
and in addition their automobile
was confiscated. The arrests were
made by Conservation Warden John

PLANNING AN ICE RINK
VanDerheyden Figures on
Flooding Sufficient Ground
Near River for Public Ice
Rink.

Plans are now being perfected by
j. e. VanDerheyden to build an ice
rink near the Lacau boat livery on
the river a couple blocks above the
bridge, expecting to have it ready
for operation by the public later in
the month. He will flood a strip
sufficiently large enough to accom-
modate several hundred people and
with a warming house which he
will erect will give the people much
pleasure during the cold weather
of the winter months. The idea is
an appealing one for it gives the
young skaters an opportunity to
follow the outdoor spirit and keep
them off the streets after school
hours and schoolless days; it builds
of them cleaner man and woman
hood and furnishes a clean method
of recreation.
Not alone does the youngster re-
ceive all the benefit. Hockey clubs
between the grown-ups will be
formed and contests staged. The
long winter evenings and holidays
and non-business days will be util-
lied in this clean outdoor sport.
Several years ago the village people
builded a public rink and spent
much money toward the entertain
ment of its people. 1t proved
good thing for all.
Mr.. VanDerheyden expects to al
low the school children the privi-
lege of skating on the rink free
after school, while during the
evenings he will charge a nominal
fee for the sport. The iced surface
he expects to keep in perfect con-
dition and there is absolutely no
fear but that the ice rink will be
filled during the evenings it is OPP
Grated.
Outdoor sports never yet have in
jured any boy or girl, man or wo-
man, and it promotes better physi-
cal conditions and cleaner people If
followed up.

And They Find Snow.

A card last week from the Par
fits and Sacketts stated that they
had reached Woodstock, Illinois
after travelling all day in a snow
storm. They were on their way tc
Perdido Beach, Alabama for the
winter, and had left Eagle River
and New London after being
showed in by the Wisconsin storm.
They rather expected to get out of
the snow belt after leaving Wis
consin, and it is a question if they
did not travel through snow in
many states before they reached
Alabama. Wisconsin's pre-winter
has just about busted itself and a
few more warm days will clean it
up.

UPHELD SEARCH OF CAR
Judge Reid Gives Decision
That Search of Auto is Le-
gal in Deer Violation.

Judge A. II. Reid has made a
mighty good decision in the case
Of William Scott and Arvid John
son, charged with violation of the
deer laws in closed season, and if
it holds, which we have no doubt,
it gives the conservation wardens
sweeping powers in landing viola
tors of the deer law when they use
their cars in the transportation Of
illegally killed deer.
The decision of Judge Reevs of
the Rhinelander municipal court in
the case Of Scott and Johnson who
were charged with headlighting
deer was upheld by Judge Reid in
circuit court at Merrill last week.
The two men were charged with
using an automobile headlight in
the hunting of deer recently. At
this time the question was raised
whether Conservation Warden Fos-
not Of Tomahawk had a right to
search their automobile. Judge
Reid held that the search without
a warrant was legal and he further
ordered the confscation of the
headlight, battery and rifles. Scott
and Johnson are from Tripoli, Onei-
da county.
If the judges decision holds, this
will be Of great aid to wardens in
stopping the transportation of
Illegally killed deer by means Of
The automobile. Last year and the
years previous, the automobile was
the direct means of increasing the
game violations by the transporta-
ton Of does and fawns down state.
The deer were loaded into car and
run through, for the reason that
no warden or officer dared search a
car without a warrant. If this
searching can now be carried on,
there will be hundreds of deer
saved from men who will drive up
in this section, kill deer, even
though the season is closed, hide it
in their car and drive home.
The warden force has been in
creased in the northern part of the
state and an effort will be made to
catch those who insist on violating
within the next month. The Mich
igan open season begins November
18th, and this will cause many
down state hunters to buy Michi-
gan license-and fill their coupon
off of Wisconsin deer because they
happen to know the Wisconsin deer
grounds near the Wisconsin-Michi-
gan line much better.

Building a New Store.

Jacob Mykleby & Sons of Star
Lake and Arbor Vitae are tearing
down the old store building at Star
Lake and starting on the erec-
ton of a new store of modern pro-
portions in that village. This sum-
mer they erected a new store at
Arbor Vitae, occasioned by the
changing of highway 20 to the rear
OF their old place. This necessi-
lated either the turning around OF
the old building or else the cree
ton of a new one. The latter was
done and it was built of such pro-
Portions that it will amply accom-
odate future trade. Alfred Mykle-
by operates the Arbor Vitae store

Ducks Under Difficulties.

DR.. Oldfeld, Hank Hanson, Char.
ley and Franklin butcher, Bill Love
an several other duck hunters from
the village who hunted last week
with Jimmy Burns and his bunch
on Lac Vieux Desert lake, we're UNI
able to come home the day set on
account of being "froze in on the
opposite side of the lake from
where their cars were parked
some two miles straight across or
some dozen miles around the rim
of the lake. During the night the
lake iced across with the exception
of a small spot near the shore
where Burns cabin is located.
Ducks piled in the water by the
hundreds, and with decoys set out
on the ice, the fellows made a good
mornings shoot, the best so far
this season. Most all the lakes were
covered with ice, especially the
shallow ones where the ducks stop
for food on their flight down
south. Little St. German lake has
been furnishing some good shoot
ing the past few days, but that also
had frozen over to such an extent
that operating boat was almost
out of the question.
Last nights rain has cleared al
of the ice and snow and we viii
now possibly have our Indian sum
mer.

and Sportsmen in Eagle

(this includes women just as well
as mem will be held in the Congre-
gational church parlors tomorrow
Thursday evening beginning at
sharp $50. The banquet begins at
that hour followed by the business
Of the League and a talk on the
Trails End" by F. w. Luening,
a noted outdoor man of the state.
This will be the only meeting
this fall by the Waltonians. 1t was
expected to hold joint meeting
over at Sayner or Star Lake when
the date of this meeting was called
for on October 18th, but on ac-
count of National President Dig
not being able to fill his date, he
being taken to hospital, the Say
ner-Star Lake meeting was aban-
doned.
Invitation is general; the meeting
is open to every sportsman and
sportswoman in the county or ter
ritory adjoining. From all over
the county the members will come.
Likewise from Three Lakes in
Oneida county and from Waters
meet in Michigan. Watersmeet has
has a Waltonian chapter and quite
a number from there will come to
hear Mr.. Luening.
At the Green Bay state conven-
ton couple weeks ago, Mr.. Luen-
ing spoke to the delegation and his
delineation of just what confronts
the sportsman, guide and resort
man in this recreation section
shows matters to face a crisis in
depletion unless some of us, or
rather most of us, give of our ener-
gies in lettering present condi-
tions. Game depletion and made
quate laws for it's protection; wild
life and forest despoilation means
but one thing if allowed to proceed
the ruination of the available
assets of Northern Wisconsin and
Michigan and loss to every one
concerned.
Mr.. Luening puts it up to we
people in a pessimistical manner
and builds his assertions from cold
facts. He has travelled this region
and knows, just as we do, that we
are now to blame for many of the
things which permit Of the destruc-
ton of the lake region assets.
The banquet will be served by
Mr.. and Mrs. Perreault in the
church diningroom, which will
seat comfortably $50 people. The
meeting deserves a full house.
