company hns filed it's answer in the suit
brought 10y Alfred and leonitlus Merritt
10 cover the value shares OF stock given

more. The defendants admit that the
plaintiffs gave Wetmore five notes, two
fnr 500 900, two for $4,000 and one
$132, $40, but deny that the copies OF
the notes attached are true copies of the
notes given. They admit that these
notes with 2,3l3 shares Of Duluth, Mis-
sabe 4 Northern stock, ,535 shares OF
Mountain Iron and five shares Of Nlissahe
Mountain, were pledged to them by Wet
more AZ security for Indebtedness, but
allege TINT il was with the knowledge

ratified the transaction. The answer
further admits that these securities were
transferred into II ,33l 3-1O shares OF

change and transfer was made on the ex.
press written request Of the plaintiff.

pressed their willingness TO comply with

TOWN SHIP CENSUS.

Population in Excess OF Calculation, Considering
the ESodus During Depression.
Considering tho general exodus that
has been in progress eyer since the sus-
pension OF mining operations in the Crys.
tai Falls field, nearly two years ago, the
statement that the township OF Crystal
Falls numbered population Of 1000
souls would have been ridiculed il made
prior To the completion oi the lust
census, the taking Of which was complet-
ed by Enumerator Morrison yesterday.
IL will I've remembered TINT the total
population of the township repre-
scnts little more than tho pop
laiion Crystal Falls and the sur
rounding mining locations, which,
although outside Of the corporate limits
~ the village, reflect the same benefit up
ON il. Tho actual population Of the
township, IA compiled by Enumeration
Morrison is 800. Inflated estimates
aside. this shows that the number oI
people IN Crystal Falls at present is but
little below that of 1892. The totnl
number OF deaths in the township during
the year closing June 1891, was
twenty-nine. This is surely n ilatterinl
commentary upon our sanitary condi
tions. Few townships, il any, regardless
oi population, in the state, IL is snfe "a
assert, will return smaller death rate
There are twenty-five iarms la tho town
ship, according TO the enumerator's re
port. There are sixty. Libraries iu the
village of Crystal Falls, containing from
twenty-five 10 300 volumes each.
