Several ClOudbursts.

UP near ConOver last Thursday
afternoon storm struck near the
Ohsann farm and the rainfall was
SO heavy that the northbound
freight had to stop and investigate
track conditions in several places
Where the highway to Buckatoban
crosses the track Conductor Kelley
stated that the water came across
IN a torrent and he notified the
section crew to investigate before
the Northern Lakes special came
through. West and north of that
section evidences of the water,
havoc can be noticed. Water in the
river has raised to some extent and
has relieved the situation on water
shortage for a few days at least.
The rainfall in Eagle River on
Thursday was over an inch; at Dam

Bank Closed Since Suicide
of Cashier Begins Business.

Monday morning of this week
depositors in the Farmers & Mer-
chants State Bank of Eagle River
were able to receive their deposits
IN full, this being due to the reor-

the disappearance of the cashier, it
was then placed in the hands of
state bank examiners who worked
over the accounts until last week,
finding a shortage of some S27, O0O
and frozen paper to the amount of
$4,000. This has been made good
by the old and new stockholders
who oversubscribed the necessary
amount to cover the delinquency.
As it now stands there are 1O9
stockholders in the institution, and
until the present bank officers are
elected at future stockholders
meeting the state banking depart
ment will continue the banks OPP
Grafton.
Oliver Geiss, the new cashier
comes from Minneapolis and has
had years Of banking experience.
He took charge Monday morning
and will move his family to Eagle
River very soon.
The stockholders meeting will be
held soon, according to statement
from one Of the directors of the
bank.

cation Mr.. Wicks was found dead
lying on the floor near bed. Upon

chester rifle was tied, showing one
shell discharged.
Wicks had tied the rifle to the
bed, placed the muzzle under the
armpit, and with his hand had
pulled the trigger. Death was in
slant. The corners jury gave a
verdict of taking his own life
while temporarily unbalanced. The
funeral was held Monday afternoon
from the late residence with short
services by Rev. Skidmore; inter
me- followed in the village ceme-
terry.
The Wicks family comprised the

Will Run Three Sections.

Leaving Chicago next Friday
evening the Northwestern will OPP
crate out of that city three sections
OF its famous Northern Lakes
Special summer train. Two will ar
rive over this branch. Each Sun
day the Northwestern has been
sending out two sections through
here. Traffic to the North Woods
IS said by the railroad company to
be far in excess of any previous
year. From this one can CLEAN a
small idea of the number of people
who come up by train alone to the
recreation center of the northwest.
Bus lines do not seem to injure rail
traffic when there is added comfort
given the rail passenger over that
of auto or bus lines.

BIG SPEED BOAT RACES
Next Sunday on Cranberry
Lake; Fifth Annual Meet
of High Class Speed.

To the lover of speed-and spell
it in capital letters next Sundays
fifth annual speed contest on the
Eagle chain will make your eyes
open. Speed to burn and that is
saying it with gasoline. Might see
some boat make an even sixty
miles an hour and there are many
that will just knock the cap off
the motor cop in passing.
The fifth annual speed contest
for the supremacy of the Eagle
waters will be staged on Cranberry
lake next Sunday beginning at 1:3O
in the afternoons This is under
the auspices of the Eagle Waters
Boat Club and has always proved a
very fascinating event. Besides the
boat races, and there are number
of them, you will also witness out
board motorboat races, swimming
contests and canoe races. Daylight
fireworks will be shown between
races and the event will go down
as a mighty exciting event on the
lower chain of the Eagle waters.
There is no admission.
The following has been handed
in regarding the speed boats en-
tered in the race:
The new Pee Jay owned by P. J.
Schaefer is expected to set a record
of better than so miles an hour,
but it will be forced to show
stamina as well as speed to come
out in front Of Lady Billie, Horace
E., Take Your Time, Bob and the
Trojan, all Of which are fast boats
and in prime condition for the
event.
The Take Your Time, last years
Mississippi champion, will enter a
slight facorite because of its de-
pendability and super speed. The
Horace E., owned by M. ]. Tennes
should also finish up towards the
front; it ranks along with the Take
Your Time. Lady Billie, Trojan
and Bob will also show speed and
might upset the dope for the other
two speed crafts.
The Bee Bee, one time fastest
boat in the north woods, and her
old rival Miss Tennessee will renew
hostilities. The Bee Bee has re-
Gently installed a new motor and
should show up we'll with the
speedsters Bob and Trojan.
