Duval, Victim of Friends
Bullets, Died Christmas
FATHER OF ELEVEN CHILDREN
is DEAD, MAINTAINING HIS
SLAYER is "FRiEND"

Mike Duval, so, mortally wounded
as climax to liquor party staged
at his home near Arbor Vitae last
Sunday night, died early Christmas
morning while church choirs and
church-goers were singing Peace on
Earth, Good Will Toward Men,"
Mike, father of IL children, passed
away at 1890 a. M with that spirit
uppermost in his mind, for he main
tanned to the end that Charles Ray,
of Marshfield the man who shot him,
was still my friend"
1t was a drab Christmas for the
fatherless Duval family. 1t was equal
ly gloomy for Ray, being held in the
Villas county Jail at Eagle River for
arrangement December 30. Ray, re-
morseful, is deploring the fate that
caused him to shoot and kill a man
who had BEEN his friend for years.
So far as can be learned, the cause
of the shooting is mystery. Rays
only explanation is Il must have been
crazy.
The men, with two neighbors, had
been playing cards and drinking liquor
at the Duval home, where Ray was
visiting for few days. Ray quit the
game and went up stairs, returning in
a few minutes with revolver, which
he aimed at Duval, firing three shots,
all of which took effect.
Ray, Marshfield man, had lived
the life of bachelor recluse engaged
in the scissor and knife sharpening
business. For a number of years he
was employed as a city street sweep
er. He is alleged to have had deal
ings with Duval in illicit liquor, but
the men were the best of friends.
Duval, also a resident of Marsh
field for many years, went to Arbor
Vitae last summer to purchase a small
farm At one time he was engaged in
the manufacture of a milk separator
at Marshfield.

Wells Incorporated

Wells Grocery and Market
has been sold to a corporation of
which Albert H. We'll is presi-
dent.
The new corporation takes
over the store on January first,
and Mrs. Marie We'll retires as
head of this business, founded in
1905 by the late August We'll.
1t is just a succession of Wells
in this business, and the new cor
poration will appreciate the pat
ronage of both the summer and
the all.the-year residents of
Eagle River, just as the former
owners have.

Two million five hundred thousand
American income tax payers will well
come one change in the proposed in
come tax law. 1t increases the exem-
ption of single persons to $1,500 and
Of married people to $500.
Why not increase the exemptions
for each child? You can't bring up a
child for $500 year. Parents raising
children are working for the State
without charge, and ought not to be
taxed for their trouble.

Editors Note-With the
teams Of the Pacific coast
league starting the second half
of the 1925 season, and with
many critics claiming the pres
ent season is not proving as
prosperous as previous seasons,

A. Williams, president of the
league, for a summary of con-
ditions in the coast circuit. Tis
statement follows.
Imperial Valley press., 1925-07-20
BY HARRY A. WILLIAMS
president Pacific Coast League)
Written for the United PreSsl

Los ANGELES, July 20.-.Judg-
ed from the standpoint of normal
cy, baseball is holding its own.
Last season baseball had reached
one of those peaks which one might
liken to the topography of a west
ern landscape where one observes
the outline of jagged mountain
ranges. The record and history of
baseball is like the uneven crest of
such a range with a towering peak
here and there. No two seasons are
identical. That is because each ono
is played under varying conditions.
However, there is general and as
yet unexplained law. Due 10 some
subtle influence, perhaps psyeholog
ical or economic, baseball seems to
proceed on an ascending scale for
six years, and then 90 into Il slight
decline on the seventh year.
This Year Is Normal
This cannot be characterized as
more than "a normal year i'm any line,
and perhaps subnormul in some. The
coast league has had a number of
new and adverse conditions with
which to contend. Daylight boxing
has drawn somewhat from tho great
national pastme. There has been
racing in Salt Lake for the first
time in many years. Thirteen games
have been lost on account of rain,
whereas, as Il rule tAero- .tEa not
more. than three or four postpone
mentsain, the ,seripg.sS@. But rilpva,
damaging 10 the attendance, than
those postponemcnts was the long
stretch of cool, damp. threatening
weather which prevailed throughout
the circuit until we'll into June This
cut heavily into the attendance for
baseball is a warm weather game.
However, there has been no less
cniug of actual interest as will be
seen when the race tightens. The
actual race in the coast league with
its long season usually starts about
the half way mark. First division
teams of the first half sometimes
are the second division teams at the
finish.
Nothing is more uncertain than
baseball. This is equally true of a
single game or an entire race. With
approximately 100 games remaining
to be played the present situation
produced by the first 100 games
might he reversed. Veteran, ex-
pericnced man, familiar with the
vagarics of this sport, never claim a
game or championship until it is
actually won.
