Run Five Sections.

Sunday morning to the North
Woods the Chicago & Northwest
ern railway was compelled to make
five sections of the Northern Lakes
special which came up over the
Ashland division. Just how many
people those trains brought up is
not known, but the sections
brought over the Monico-Waters-
meet line many hundreds for an
over-Sunday outing-rather for the
week after the Fourth and posi-
bly, longer. Resorts are reporting
as filling up at this date and there
is no doubt but that ere the week
passes many will be crowded to
capacity. With the number using
the trains and autos each day, the
Big Woods section is known spot
for the outing people. Weather is
just dandy for bathing and outing.

Ran Into Rad Storm.

While Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. S. Egg
bert were driving from Chicago to
Eagle River Friday night for a
weeks vacation at their home
southeast Of the village, they ran
into a cloudburst outside of Mil
waukee. They saw many cars
either drowned out or else in the
ditch on account OF the storm, and
also saw where several wrecks had
occurred. One place two big cars
had come together head-on and
completely wrecked them. Another
place a big truck was overturned
in the ditch where it had left the
highway on account of the driver
being unable to steer the machine
while the storm was raging. They
were surprised to arrive here Sat-
urday morning and find very little
evidence of rain; in fact the low
stage of the water in the lakes and
streams and the dryness all around
is almost unbelievable especially
since their storm experience. They
will return to Chicago the latter
part of the week.

success it was: Chas. Wiegand, who
was the chairman for the county;
Esther Knowles, Emma Vanderhay-
den, Myrtle Johnston, Rose We'll,

EVERYBODY ON A VISIT
Fourth of July Found Eagle
River Folks Out on Picnics
and Motor Trips.

The Fourth Of July in Eagle
River was INDUCED in rather pecu-
liarly; no celebration in the home
town this year, but assisting at
celebrations and a days enjoyment
at other villages and places of
scenic attraction.
Most every year Eagle River or
nearby villages in Villas county
puts on Fourth of July celebra-
ton, and it proves hard work for
those who have to plan and then
finish the program-just one big
day of hurrah and grief for those
fellows who in the end are iusti-
fled in saying that next year we
will let some other fellow do il"
But this year it was conceded that
the day would be observed in some
other place especially in Ironwood
where the big motor derby was run
or at Bayfield, where a pageant was
put on; or else load up the family
flivver and take a long jaunt to
Copper Falls over near Mellen, the
Bond or Agate falls on the Onto
nagon river above Wattersmeet.
Maybe it was just a trip to the
summer cabin on a nearby lake
where you loafed and rested, or try
it with the fishes in the lakes of
some other section of this big wa
ter territory.
Anyhow, every person enjoyed the
day and the old town was primar-
lily dead. The change did the villag-
ers good for stealing an outing on
the nations birthday.

FUNERAL HELD TO-DAY
Mrs. William Saltenberger
Died at Farm Home Early
Monday Morning.

The death of Mrs. William Sal
tenberger, residing in the town Of
Washington, occurred on Monday
morning after short illness, aged
r years.
A year ago she had an attack of
pneumonia and the after-effects of
this combined with complications
caused her death. Friday she was
taken very bad, later lapsing into
Inconsistencies just before her
passing away.
Albertina Tulin was born in Swe-
den, October %, 1853 and came to
America in 1881, settling in Chi
cago. There she married William
SaItenberger in May of 1888. To
this union there were born three
children, one dying many years ago.
The two remaining are William Jr.
and Ida. In Chicago Mr.. Salten-
berger was in the employ of the
Pullman company until 1906 when
he and his family came to Villas
county, settling ON their present
farm in the town of Washington.
Through the hard work Of the fam
lily a fine farm was developed and
it was at the peak of their life that
the couple begin enjoying the rest
due them. July 16, 1928 Mr.. Sal
tenberger died; since then the
widow and children have been
keeping the home together and up
to a year ago Mrs. Saltenberger
was unusually active.
Her home and community life
was we'll spent; she was of that
type Of mother and neighbor which
buiIded for the better in home and
community life and her circle of
friends was unusually large. Be
sides the children, she leaves two
sisters living at Pullman, Illinois:
Mrs August Blomquist and Mrs.
John Anderson.
Short services will be held this
afternoon at the late home by Rev.
kubsack, followed by interment
in the village cemetery. The hour

New Speed Boat Wrecked.

The speed pleasure craft of P. ].
Schafer, capable of making some
thing around sixty miles per hour
when run at full speed, was badly
damaged last week by striking a
stump in one of the thoroughfares
IN the chain. Mr.. and Mrs. Scha-
efef were out for pleasure ride
and were driving along at a mod
rate rate of speed when the OBJ
struction was struck. The rudder.
wheel and steering gear were
wrecked and the hull damaged. Had
the boat been going at maximum
speed or anywhere near that, there
is no telling what might have hap
pened to the occupants of the
launch.

Some Sand Storm.

Down around Spring Green, Sank
County, there was sand storm a
week ago, the like of which had
never been seen in Wisconsin. 1t
rivaled the sand storms of deserts,
said Col. John Hannah, secretary
of the state board of control. Corn
which had attained a growth of six
inches was completely covered by
drifting sands. This is a new ex-
perience for the farmers of that
section and the oldest inhabitant
has no recollection of anything
like it. Automobiles driven through
the storm found it difficult to drive
at noon with the headlights on.
The sand was sweeping in great
clouds, obscuring the sun.-Craw-

HERE CENTURIES AGO
Finding Of Moose Skeletons
and Antlers Shows This
Section One Vast Game
Preserve.

The discovery Of a moose antler
last week by John Mishak, town of
Washington farmer, while he and
hls crew were building a road from
the Deerskin highway toward the
Hemock resort, adds but another
INK to the fact that moose inhab-
lted this section many years ago
and long before the time of the
present day white man or Indian.
and had come to be looked to fer
m this region, but history shows
that at one time there were other
people than the present Chippewa
and PottaWatomie tribes and dur
ing that period moose and other
game animals were numerous. This
IS shown by the remnants Of skel-
etons and broken pieces of antlers
which have lain for no one knows
how long possibly centuries.
Nishak found goodly portion of
antler about four feet underneath
the top strata of earth in a bed of
clay and it is in fair state of pre-
Servation at that. Some few years
ago John Storm on Mud creek west
OF the village discovered a portion
OF an antler from a moose and
many others have done the same
M years gone by.
With the finding Of skeletons of
moose and those of people, the lat
Ter buried in mounds and encased
y charcoal, this country of the
eNergreens was at one time many
centuries ago occupied with psople
and animals. The state historical
society, when asked recently just
what tribe did belong here and who
buried thir dead bodies in charcoal
anal IN mounds, stated that possibly
,hese were Chippewas and dated
back many centuries. However
there seems to be some dispute as
To the authenticity of the above,
out Just where to unearth the
FACTS, If this is not true, we do not
know. But we do know that there
mas been no moose in this country
OF ours for years and years way
pack beyond the remembrance of
any old timer or anything handed
down from ancient tribal lore.

AFTER THE VIOLATORS
Officers and Judges Are
Handling the Rough Guys
Without Any Gloves.

Booze hounds and f1ivver outlaws
are sure getting theirs these balmy
days in the North Woods. That is,
there IS no mercy being shown
those fellows; makes no difference
who, who drink up the redeye and
get boisterous, or drives a car while
incompetent to do so. If it is a
violation, they are yanked up and
their trial is rather short but most
excellently snappy.
In municipal court the past few
days here is what has been dealt
out to mooners and drunken auto
drivers:
Nell Sickness of Phelps for be-
ing drunk and disorderly paid over
to the court fine and costs amount
ing to $1,000. VIM. Smith, from the
same place also contributed the
same sum to- care for his little firt
with the bottle.
Next comes three fellows from
Land O Lakes, John Admak, Frank
Domack and John Gbsee. They get
hit in the neck with $40 and costs
per each for frisky time they had
INDUCED in a couple days ago.
Walter Thompson, arrested and
jailed week ago for participating
in picnic one night when his car
and the Lugar car were wrecked on
the State Line highway, stepped in
to court and answering to a charge
of driving a car while intoxicated;
was given certificate by Judge
Higgins whereby he could either
contribute $4,000 or land in jail for
the next thirty days. So far he
took the jail end.
In county court Saturday, on
complaint of John w. Heating, JUS
tice of the peace of Phelps, three
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Sea-
ger of that village were taken be-
fore the juvenile judge and temper
arily committed to the state school
for dependent children at Sparta.
They were taken last Friday. The
children's parents both live in
Phelps but have neglected their
children and allowed them to run
the streets.

Didn't need a bit of shown,
Knowed the game from A-to-Z
Never failed on Coon or 'Possum,

When I'd shake 'em down she'd toss 'em
Til she had 'em def an dunn

Thinkin' we had freed Coon,
In the dark It's hard to tell 'em,
But | found out; pretty soon.
Shook the linn til sumthin' tumbled,
