Owners Claim for Damages
. to Animals
State of Wisconsin )
) ss.
Bayfield County )
I Walter Swanson, being first duly sworn on oath depose and say that I am the legal owner
of certain domestic animals located in.the Town of Barksdale, and County as aforesaid. That
on the 7th & Sth day of November, 1981, 42 exotic chickens met with death resulting from and
directly caused by a dog or dogs owned by unknown.
That upon or before the discovery of the death of said animals, I observed the following:
On Saturday morning, November 7, our yard was covered with feathers and that our steel stock
gate was knocked off its hinges. Then discovered chickens scattered from coop.and fenced yard.
Located dead and injured chickens in coop. After counting 36 dead and missing, called sheriff's
office for aid. On Sunday afteri?:o.dn, Nov. 8, at 4:30 p.m. large black dog, Irish setter type and
German shepherd type attacking remaining chickens. This attack caused loss of 6 more chickens.
Again notified sheriff's office. Officer investigated and advised us to file this claim.
That by reason of these facts I claim that the death of said animals is due to the work of
some dog or dogs. And I therefore assess the fair and reasonable market value of said animals
herein described, as follows: As these birds were my daughter's 4-H project,,there was more
invested in them than can be'recovered by money. Exotic chicks were purchased from Allen's
Hatchery, Missouri, at'$1.25 apiece for day old on May 15-th. Now 6 months old, we feel at
least $5.00 invested in them, plus the personal investment of my daughter's tender loving care.
Have you paid the current dog tax on all dogs owned by you? Yes

Dear Mr. Johnson:
Enclosed herein please find copy of dog damage complaint. Walter Swanson, the complainant in
this case, is requesting damages -fora doss of chickens.; L
The original claim �was-,submitted to -the Town. of Barksdale and denied as per the attached letter.
The Town, as well as Mr. Swanson, have _requested that the claim be submitted to -the County for
disposition.
The usual procedure in dog damage complaints is for the Town\Board to view the dames and then
act accordingly. In this case, neither the complainant nor the officer were aware of the
proper procedure, therefore this case wasonot handled as per the law.
I have no recommendations as to disposition of this matter.
Thank you for your attention.
Very truly yours,

DETAILS: Qn:11/7/81-about 8:55,p.m. the Bayfield.County Sheriff's Dept. called.me_about some
missing chickens at the Walter Swanson residence on the Wedal Road, Town of Barksdale. I talked
to Walter and.he stated something broke down one gate and then got into his prize chickens. They
were some rare breed. I checked and found some prints from a dog or coyote (tracks). They were
snow blown over'so you couldn't tell for sure what the tracks were from. Walter stated about 30
chickens were taken. No tither clues were found at this time.
I saw Walter about a week later and he stated that he checked all over the fields and he found
some chicken feathers.. He thought the damage was.done by dogs_..
I never saw any of the dead chickens.

Re: Dog Damage Claim
Dear Mr. Strom:
I am requesting that-_�aur claim for dog damages be returned to the proper committee so that further
evaluation of facts can be presented.
The Executive Committee's current determination of this claim was basically based on a sheriff
department's report which was erroneous and did -not -show series of events that took place. Sheriff
Fredericks checked into it and has stated that his investigating officer has agreed to testify
verbally to the committee. This evidence plus other facts will be presented to the committee.
This claim then :can be judged with -fairness as all county business should be. ,
Please advise us of committee's schedule and place us on agenda to clear this matter.
Sincerely,
Walter E. Swanson

Dear Mr. Barningham:
I was recently informed by the Bayfield County Clerk that the -above referenced piece of land has
been repossess*ed'by the County for non-payment of the 1974 real estate taxes-. It was not our
intention to let this happen.
It appears that the J. D. Bergman Corporation was sent notification of the possible repossession
by mail. However, the information was sent to an address that had not been used by the J.D.
Bergman Corporation for many years and therefore we never received it. We filed an address change
with Bayfield County when we moved so'that all future correspondence would be received: The other
tax bills were sent to the correct address, so I was surprised to find out that the letter of
notification was sent to an address that had not been in use for years. I feel that if the
notification had come to the correct address., we would not.have the problem that we have now.
I am requesting that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors please allow the.J.D. Bergman
Corporation to pay all back taxes on this piece of property. If we had known of the delinquency
we would have immediately sent a check to cover the entire past due balance plus,any current char
or penalties.
I would appreciate any considerations that can be given this matter by the Board. And if there
are any questions, -please feel free to let me know.
Thank you,
The J: D. Bergman Corporation

Sincerely,
WILLIAM M. BYERS
Lands Staff Officer
Moved by Rave and seconded by McGowan to deny the acquisition.
Stephenson inquired if the county boards policy of opposing the state or federal government
acquiring land in Bayfield County was still in effect.
Seidel answered that the board still had their opposition to the state or federal government
acquiring more land on record.
McGillivray stated that since this acquisition concerns a private individual and apparently
the individual wishes to sell the land to the government, the county should not have any influence
in the matter.
Stephenson stated that the action,,that was taken previously on state or.federal land
acquisitions should be sent to the Forest Service to let them know the countyisstand on such
matters®
The -question was asked on the motion to -deny the acquisition. Motion.carried.

April 16, 1982
County Board of Supervisors
Bayfield County
Washburn, WI 54891
Please find enclosed a copy of letter sent to Dan Theno and Pat Smith by myself as president of
the Spooner Area Chamber of Commerce. I am not sure that all of you are aware -'of the fact that
there is a survey going on concerning the reducing of services concerning the communication center
at the Wisconsin State Patrol District VIII Headquarters in=Spooner. Obviously, we at. ---,the Spooner
Area Chamber of Commerce are concerned as the communication center employes seven families in the
Spooner area. Beyond; the economic and financial considerations, lies an even more crucial question
for those people outside of the Spooner area. If the communication center is removed from Spooner,
all radio traffic will be remoted to Eau Claire. This means that thosepeople, for -example, in
Douglas County, Bayfield Countyand the other northernmost counties will have a communication center
in Eau Claire. Also, the communieation center in Eau Claire would serve twenty-one counties as
there would be an additional load placed upon them.
I believe it is time that the people in Northwest.Wiseonsin contact their local representatives
and other people in State Government to oppose such a transfer.
Once again, the bureaucrats in Madison are attempting to remove another service from Northwestern
Wisconsin. If this matter is not quashed before it gets off the gound, it will be too late.
We all know how government works and, if you do not quash the situation immediatley, the end
result will -be a -communication center in Eau Claire.
I urge that all of you communicate with your State legislators and other individuals you may
know in State government. If we are to keep services in Northwestern Wisconsin, we must stick
together.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Andrew S. Lawton, President
Spooner Area Chamber of Commerce
