So the Protected Passenger Got Through
All Right.

All Right.
The other morning conductor on the
Southern Pacific train found that one
of the passengers had bad ticket and
thus could not ride upon it, says the
New Orleans Picayune. Unfortunately
for the woman, she had no money, nor
had the mother, with whom she was
travelling. The conductor insisted upon
payment from one or the other, and
when he made his requests urgent, the
young lady retreated to the sleeper,
where she and her mother, covering up
under the quilts, said they would not
surrender.
"And I am here to protect her." said
the mother, in a very defiant way.
thrusting her head out of the curtains.
But, madam, the company must have
some compensation for your daughters
travelling on it's trains. She has no
ticket, and if you have the money you
won't pay it"
well, that ticket was a good ticket,
and if you won't take it you will have
to do without"
you can get off at the next station
and buy your daughter another ticket,
said the conductor
mo, l won't do that, either, tell
you"
"Well, then, must have the money,
said the conductor, making toward the
couple. Instantly the curtains were
closed tight, and the young lady, all
bundled up under the covering in the
compartment, cried out that the con-
ductor must have an awful hard heart
to treat her so ungentlemanly.
~ will have you arrested for ungen-
tlemanly conduct" she cried out.
The conductor got off in a quiet cor
ner and tried to solve the problem. He
called a council of the train people, and
for some time they discussed the best
means of attack, but none offered, for
the passenger was safe and secure in
bed, and guarded by the mother, who
had made up her mind not to surrender |
the citadel Finally at Morgan City the
pair got off, and the young lady carried
her point, not having paid her fare.

George c. Shelden's Funeral.

All that was mortal of the late
George G. Sheldon was laid to rest
Sunday afternoon. The funeral
services, conducted by Rev. ]. E.
Curzon, were held at the family res
idence at 2 O. o'clock, and were very
impressive. During the services
the procession had formed in the
following order: Houghton Silver
Cornet band, Continental Fire com
pany No. |, Houghton Light Infan-
try, E. r. Stiles post &C. A. R.)
and +. & A. M. lodge No. 216. At
the conclusion of the services the
remains were borne by the pail
bearers, DR.. A. NJ. Wheeler, Col. ].
N. Cox, Sheriff w. A. Dunn, w. A.
Bath, Horace Rogers and Hon.
Charles Smith, to the hearse and the
march to Forest Hill cemetary be-
gan. The societies in line were fol-
lowed by many carriages, the whole
being about two miles in length,
making it the largest funeral pro-
cession ever witnessed on Portage
lake. The Masonic fraternity had
charge of the funeral, and at the
grave the solemn and beautiful
burial ritual Of the order was read
by William Bath.
The loss of Geo. G. Sheldon to the
town of which he has long been a
prominent and patriotic citizen will
be long felt in many a home which
has been a recipient of his quiet
generosity and charity. His great
love of Houghton was doubtless at
tributable to the fact that his father
was its founder, and it's pioneer in
dustries were all connected with the
name of Ransom Sheldon. There
was no enterprise calculated to re-
dound to the financial or social in
terests of his native village that
did not receive the liberal support
of George c. Sheldon. His loss
is a sad blow to Houghton, and
his place in the community will be
hard to fill.
The remains laid in state at the
family residence Saturday, and up
to the hour of the obsequies were
visited by hundreds of friends and
acquaintances of the deceased.

FOUND UNDER THE RIVER.
Rich Body of Bessemer Ore at
Iron Mountain.

The following special was sent
from Iron Mountain to the Detroit
Free Press, dated the 9Th:
''The water has been turned into
the new channel dredged for the
Michigamme river for the purpose
of reclaiming the Mansfield mine.
which was flooded several years ago,
drowning twenty-seven men. The
enterprise has proven greater sue
cess than the projectors anticipated
for a large body Of Bessemer ore has
now been discovered in the old chan
mel. Six inches below the sand
covering of the river bed was a
body of ore. A system of trench
ing was instituted and the body was
traced from two to three hundred
feet in length. A width of thirty
feet has been determined but long
before the exploring work was well
under way sand bar formed at the
mouth of the new channel and the
water backed up into the old river
bed, again submerging the find. A
sample of the ore has been analyzed
for iron. tits very rich. While the
chemists figures are not avail
able, it is stated that no
other mine in this district
produces ore that approaches it in
volume of iron carried. 1t is un-
doubtedly Bessemer ore of the finest
quality. The depth of the deposit
has not yet been tested, The body
has every appearance of clearly de-
fined vein and there seems to be lit
tie doubt in the minds of those in
terested that such it is. At the
present time everything indicates
that the DeSoto Iron Co. has secured
one of the finest iron properties in
the upper peninsula.

DUMONTHIER'S BODY
FOUND.
Recovered From Portage Lake,
There Was a Bullet Wound
i'm His Left Arm.

The remains of Felix Demonthier,
the slayer Of George Sheldon, were
recovered from Portage Lake Tues
day afternoon shortly after 5 o.
clock The body was caught by the
graphing hooks of one of the
searching party that had been at
work since Monday morning, says
the Calumet Evening News, when
the finding of the hat convinced
those interested that the lake had
claimed the Frenchman.
The body was found within thirty
feet of the first crib out from the
Houghton shore, exactly where the
tell-tale blood marks had indicated
he had jumped.
All the dragging of the two days
after the murder and the dynamite
had apparently not touched the re-
mains, which were in good state of
preservation The dynimite too
had been fired very close TO the
spot.
AS the searchers were towing the
body to shore the coat was pulled
up over the head and from the hip
pocket was Immediately seen the
fatal revolver. After being viewed
by the coroner's jury the body was
taken to Krellwitz S undertaking
rooms and a careful examination
was made
"A bullet wound was found in the
left arm. The shot had gone
through in direction from the in
side of the arm out, about two
inches below the elbow.
The revolver found in Demon
theirs pocket was of 30 calibre. 1t
is a five shooter and the chamber
contained five exploded cartridges.
The finding of the pistol on Dem
onthier's body would almost look as
if there were two pistols in the af-
fray, as young Hosking in his evil
dence at the coroner's inquest over
Mr.. Sheldon Tuesday afternoon and
before Demonthier s body was
found, swore that he was the first
to see Mr.. Sheldon after the shoot
ing and at that time pistol was
living by Mr. Sheldon s shoulder.
He stated that when Miss Morgan
came over to see the body he told
n to be careful as there was pis-
tol laying there. Miss Morgan, in
her evidence said that when she APP
preached Mr.. Sheldon who was ly-
ing on the ground, she remembers
that Hosking told her to be careful
of something, but she could not re-
member what he referred to. Young
Hosking, however, appeared posi-
tive it was a pistol he warned her
against and explained minutely the
position in which he said it was ly
ing.
The funeral was held from the
residence yesterday morning at II
O clock. Deceased was member o
the Maccabee society, and carried
policy of 81, 900.

| A young man, residing in Baraga
| county, who discovered the light Of
day about IS years ago, had for
several weeks been anxiously await
ing the opening OF the partridge
season, and having become the
proud possessor of q shot gun, had
confidentially told several of his
| friends how he would gather in
the birds as soon as the law would
legally permit him to do SO, and it
| has leaked out that on the morning
of October 1st he arose very early,
(he slept but very little during the
night, and taking his gun, and suf
ficient ammunition to slaughter one
half of the partridges in the county,
started out. He went alone. Now
the truth of the matter is, the young
man was an amateur with gun, but
| he had talked great deal about his
skill in that line and did not pro
pose to have anyone around to as
certain to the contrary. But even
the potatoes in the ground have
eyes, and the corn has ears (this is
no joke) aud his first experience in
the line of hunting leaked out.
After walking a long distance he
discovered a partridge. Happy
sight. In an instant he raised his
gun, shut his eyes and fired, then
dropped the gun and hurried to the
spot, only to ascertain that the bird
had gone. Several Jimes the young
man experienced the same hard
luck. and then became mad and
desperate, and avowed that he would
take home at least one partridge, if
he broke his neck in securing it. A
last in some manner,Gt is not known
how) he secured partridge, and
after hitting it upon the head with
stick until it was dead, placed the
muzzle of the gun within few inches
of the bird and filed the body full of
shot. The country was saved; also
his reputation as hunter. He was
in truth great shot.
