For seventy-fve years, the Kinniclzinnic
has been famous among American fishermen as
a trout stream In the old days, when the
trout season opened, A. H. Lord, liveryman,
would have every horse, buggy, carriage and
light wagon that he could lay hands on, at the
Omaha depot to meet the fishermen from Min
neapolis, St. Paul, and other cities, who poured
into River Falls on fishing expeditions. In such
an environment, it was natural that this COM
munity should be the home of many keen fish
ern1en and sportsnen.

REAL BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

A number of friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robt Felt assisted that lady in
pulling off birthday surprise party
on her husband last Thursday even
ing, the affair being staged at the
Robert Kubinek home, in order that
Bob might not get wise to the pro-
ceedings. Once or twice a year tn ;
beneficiary of the party decides to go
to bed right after supper and did so
that night regardless of the express
disapproval of his family, and SO
after the guests had arrived, it was
necessary to send a delegation down
to get him up and help Kubinek set
up new stove. After finding some
fault with man who was so unpopU
lar with his neighbors that he could
not call on them for little assist
ance of that kind, he went with the
crowd and was truly surprised when
he was greeted by his friends. Music
dancing and fine feed prepared by
the ladies caused him and all the
others to enjoy several hours pleas
antly and do away with any regret al
becoming 81 years old.

FIRST NUMBER VERY GOOD

The first number of the lyceum en-
tertainment for this season was given
at the High School auditorium Sat
urday evening with the appearance of
the Edward Clarke Concert Co.,
splendid organization of entertainers
comprising baritone, violnst and plan
list. A capacity house greeted the
entertainers who did their part in
manner that left no regrets on the
part of those who went to hear them.
The company was not totally strange
to it's Eagle River audience, having
appeared here year or so ago. The
next number will be- the Dresser
Williams Company, on Saturday, Nov.
f4th. This is also another repeat
number and will be remembered as
being the, company that carried the
lady accordion player who plays any
selection on that instrument that the
audience might call for. It's popularity
here before prompted the Committee
to secure it as an attraction for this
season.

FREE SPEECH is
AIM OF FORUM
WISCONSIN STARTS OPEN AND
FREE FORUM TO DISCUSS
TIMELY TOPICS

Wisconsin farm folk everywhere
believe in free speech, but, unfortu-
nately, isolation and frequently lack
of training have made many of us
bashful about appearing with our
spoken public ideas. am glad to
know that there are many farmers
tubs in Wisconsin which foster de-
bates and speaking programs SO as
to draw people out and get them to
thinking on broad issues.
| believe that this is the right
principle, because in these days PEG.
pie are discussing ordinary things
and events, as rule, and are, not i'm
clined to bring their minds to bear
upon the real heavy issues Of the
day to the extent they might.
The Wisconsin Open Forum is the
name of an organization furthering
the idea of free speech and trained
thinking. This organization has
opened it's doors in the Whitewater
Normal auditorium. The students of
the normal school and the men and
women of Whitewater and surround
ing farming country participate in the
discussions
They desire to create keener in
terest in government and public Off
Gals and to help maintain higher
standards of morality and efficiency
in all public institutions They also
state, that it is their desire to cult.
vate a clearer understanding between
the various racial, religious, political
social and economical groups, and, if
possible, to promote harmony and
mutual welfare.
The audience is asked to take part
in all programs. Each speaker is Civ.
en- 25 minutes in which to present
his side of given question. Follow.
ing the opening talks the audience
has 80 minutes in which to ask ques
lions of the speakers. The speakers
are then allowed 15 minutes each to
| close the debate.
! While the underlying principle is
not new, the use of public building
for regular forum of this kind is
rather unusual 1t deserves support
and a fair trial and hope that ii
succeeds in Strengthening community
ties and broadening the mental out
look of the patrons Dante M. Pierce
editor of The Wisconsin Farmer.

TWO BROTHERS
VICTIMS OF LAKE
DIED FROM EXPOSURE IN NIXON
LAKE AFTER CANOE WAS
UPSET-ON HUNT

A shocking accident at Nixon lake,
southeast of Boulder Junction, some
time Saturday or early Sunday, caus-
ed the death of Carl Hessen, aged 22,
and his brother Bernard, aged IS,
sons of Mr.. and Mrs Fred Hessen,
many years residents of the Town of
Pennington.
The boys left home with car
few days before for camping and
hunting trip at the lake and were ex-
pected to return home Sunday That
morning George Bronish of Eagle
River and John Sisson proprietor of
Sisson's Resort, drove to the lake to
fish and hunt ducks. In the after
noon, having noticed a snow covered
object some distance away that was
not moving, decided to go and see
what it was
They found an overturned canoe,
covered with the heavy snow that
was falling and in brushing it away,
found a cap and mans hand clutch
ing the canoe, his head out OF water,
but his body fast in the deep mud
below the shallow water They
recognized him as one of Mr.. Sisson's
neighbOrs and knew the body of his
brother must be close by. They i'm
mediately notified the boys relatives
and word was sent to Coroner Calf
ney, who was unable to get through
that night owing to the snow storm,
but left early Monday morning, re,
covering both bodies and bringing
them to Eagle River thai afternoon
Their car was found well filled
with ducks and the gun of one of the
boys was in the car indicating that
they were preparing to leave for
home and went ut for some last
shots, and evidently in some way,
capsized. Both were good swimmers
but owing to the shallow water and
muddy bottom Of the lake, they were
unable to reach shore. The condition
of their clothing showed that they
had made desperate efforts to extri-
cate themselves, before succumbing
to cold and exhaustion, which, if the
accident occurred Sunday, did not
take long owing to the extreme
weather conditions that day.
Both young men had lived nearly
their entire lives in Fssmington and
| with tkear pareats were well known
in Eagle River and a large portion Of
Villas county by many friends whose
| sympathy for the stricken parents
and surviving brothers and sisters is
most sincere and deep.
Besides their parents, they are sur
vived by a brother, Arthur, of the
state OF Washington; Sven, Axel and
Herman, and two sisters, Elsie and
Ruth all at home.
Funeral services will be held from
the Congregational church in Eagle
River Saturday afternoon, to permit
of the brother from Washington ar
| irving to attend them

WINTER GETTING
AN EARLY START
PREMATURE WINTER WITH TEN
INCHES OF SNOW BRINGS
GRIEF TO MOTORISTS

To have nearly twelve inches of
wet heavy snow as early as October
18th, is something very unusual for
this section that received it Sunday,
and as result auto traffic was not
only slowed up, but made dangerous
as we'll during all of Sunday and
Monday. All roads in Villas county
were adorned with stalled, and in
some instances, broken down cars,
and those that were able to complete
the journey TOT wherever they were
bound for, met with much difficulty
all along the roads. By Tuesday,
however, traffic was back to normal,
although very rough going was the
rule.

WOODRUFF BANK
RAID SATURDAY
SAFE CRACKERS GET 100000 IN
RAID-CORRAL CITIZENS IN
REFRIGERATOR CAR

A group of bandits, three known to
be masked, early Saturday morning
blew the safe of the Woodruff State
Bank and after locking up seven
residents in refrigerator car and
cutting telephone wires, escaped with
loot said to amount to about $4,000,
lin silver and bills
Highways throughout northern Wis
consin are being watched by sheriff's
officials, while officers of Oneida, vi
las and Iron counties are chasing
down all clews in an endeavor to run
down the men, who fed in automo.
biles.
The bandit gang, believed to be pro-
fessionals, gained an entrance to the
bank by breaking down the front
door. Three guards, who were dis
guised by masks, rounded up two resi-
dents of Woodruff and held them as
prisoners in Big Charles restaurant
next door to the bank. Later five
others were made captive and, with
the other two, were locked up in a
refrigerator car, where they remained
until after the robbery
After first cutting telephone wires
leading from the town, the robbers
broke into a section house and Sc
cured crowbars and other equipment
with which they broke into the bank.
Nitroglycerine was used in blowing
open the safe, the door of which was
blown completely off. Five sticks of
dynamite, alerady capped and with
fuses attached, were found, with other
tools, in the bank after the robbery.
The robbers failed to get into the
compartment of the vault where the
securities and other cash, said to be
considerable amount, was kept, and
escaped with about $4,000, according
to latest reports The bandits made
their getaway in two cars, apparent
ly going south Reports state that
two cars, similar to the bandits cars
went through Tomahawk at $40 Sat
urday morning.
Woodruff is without police protec-
ton at night, as the only constable
in the town goes off duty about mid
night. Because wires to Rhinelander
were cut, the bandits had good start
before officials learned of the rob-
berry
Information regarding the robbery
and meager clues regarding the men
were broadcast to ST. Paul, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Superior and other large
cities, as we'll as towns along the
Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois and
Iowa borders in hopes of apprehend
ing the bandits.
The robbery is the second in Onei
da county within the past Is years
