SHERIFF REED
HAS FOOT RACE
Runs Down Prisoner in the Woods
Afier a Three Mile Chase. —Stole
Suit cf Clothes
Sheriff J. 11. Heed demonstrated
during the campaign last fall that he }
was considerable of a sprinter, but;
Sunday afternoon he put his ability;
in that line to practical use by run-1
ning dov. n a thief.
The man gave the name of 11. (>. j
Hansen. He had been working with
the| Wisconsin Central bridge gang!
and in an c.l moment stole a suit of j
clothes from one of his bunk mates !
and left town. The sheriff was no j
tilled and located his man at Bruce, ;
but when lie got there tlie autliori-j
ties laid lost sight of him and sup- j
posed he had left tow n. Mr. Heed
went on to Weyerhaeuser and, find- i
ing no trace of the thief there, was
returning on the railroad track and
on rounding a curve came face to
face with his man. The culprit had
several rods the start, but the sher
iff won tlie race after a three mile
chase through the woods south of;
the track.
Hansen was arraigned before J us- j
tice A. N. Anderson Monday, plead J
guilty and was given $25 and costs
or 40 days in jail. To date lie has
not been able to pay the fine.
Brewers Would Enforce Law.
An association of brewers recently
passed resolutions favoring thestrict
enforcement of laws restricting the
sale to minors and intoxicated per
sons, sale on Sunday, etc. The ar
guments used were not based on
Scripture, ethical principles or phil
anthropy, but on business consider
ations. It was argued that if the
present- open and glaring violations
of the law practiced by many saloon
keepers is continued the people w ill
rise in wrath and wipe out the whole
business. While this sort of argu
ment can’t be commended very
strongly, it will be a good thing if
tin* liquor interests aid in securing
the enforcement of the laws, no mat
ter what spirit prompts them. —(Jlen

Lighting Cos. Installs Reserve Dynamo
The Ladysmith Lighting Company
installed a second dynamo Wednes
day at tin* electric light plant. They ;
have had this machine on hand for
sometime, but did not get it con
nected until this week. This insures
tin* company's patrons a. more
reliable service, as in case anything
goes wrong with one dynamo, it
only takes a minute to start the
other.
Burglar from Chelek Caught Here
Marshal Hiordan of Chetek arrived
on the Soo limited Tuesday to take
charge of a man named Hicks, want
ed at Chetek for burglarising a sum
mer cottage. lie had been appre
hended here and taken into custody
by Officer McNally. He had an
accomplice who has so far escaped
capture.
Shot in the Shoulder
The eldest son of E. I*. Arpin,
vice president of Atlanta, was
accidentally shot in the shoulder
while out hunting near Ids home
at Grand Bapids one day last week.
The boy’s gun was lying in the bot
tom of the boat when the boatstruck
a log with such force that the gun
was discharged.

that piece of leather which holds the shoe
in shape at the heel—is made of solid gen

NUMBER 1
LECTURE COURSE
FOR NEXT SEASON
Library Board Working to Obtain
Guarantee for S3OO Lec
ture Course.
The members of the Library Board
are circulating among our citizeus
endeavoring to sell iu advance a suf
ficient number of season tickets at
$1.50 each to secure a lecture course
for next season. The proposed
course is to be furnished by the Col
umbian Lyceum Bureau of St. Paul,
Minn., at a cost of S3OO. It consists
of two musical numbers, two lec
tures and a humorous number: The
Chicago Glee Club, Old Plantation
Quartet and Jubilee Singers, L. B.
Wickersham, Robert Parker Miles,
and Brush, the Magician.
At fifty cents per number for single
tickets, the usual charge for such en
tertainments, the course would cost
you $2.50, but the Library Board
have made the price within the reach
of all. They believe if they can man
age to merely pay expenses the first
season, the lecture course plan will
become so popular as to be a source
of revenue to the public library iu fu
ture years.
