have sat on the jury, II he had much idea
OF the fitness OF things.
The evidence which was published in
the NEws was, we believe, a verbatim
copy OF the coroner's notes, and from
reading which the News fails TO see how
the death OF Mr.. Sibley could be attrib-
uted to his neglect. but can easily mag
Inc that il another plat boss had been
employed, as the deceased's friends claim
there should have been, even il il did en-.
tail an extra cost on the company, the
accident would not have happened.
The plat boss, who was some consider
able distance above where the men were
working, did not, according to the notes,
say he had in answer to the notice Jun
DO" when the ten or eleven tanks were
hoisted given any answer in reply. II he
had, and the deceased had not waited for
the answer the last time, there might
have been some point in the latter part
Of John II. Rowe's letter.

Ii is understood that some one, beliey-
ing he can make haul out Of the people
OF this community, proposes to open
what he chooses to term Board of
Trade" in Red Jacket. On behalf OF the
young men and Others who might be
foolish enough to patronize such a con
cern. il it we're established in our midst,
we respectfully call attention to an act
passed in 1887, which declares il shall lie
unlawful Tor any person to keep an Office
wherein is conducted, or permitted, the
pretended buying or selling OF the shares
oil stocks or bonds of any corporation or
OF grain. provisions etc, either on mar
gin or otherwise, without any intention
OF receiving and paying for the property
30 bought or OF delivering the property
so sold, and such acts are declared gambl-
ing and criminal and any person violat
ing such law becomes liable to fine of
not less than 800 nor more than $500
and costs OF prosecution, and on a sec
ond conviction the offender is liable, in
.-N~ss.Oe w cuNh In
the county jail for period OF six months.
A person owning the premises where
such game is carried on, or even has the
possession or care OF the same, is liable
TO fine OF 81 900, so the persons who
have agreed to let the room for such
purposes had better look a leetle out.
AZ the act declares such a business
gambling and as village ordinance No. 3
prohibits any kind OF gaming or gamb
ling within its limits, the NEWS calls upon
President Vivian to nip the affair in the
bud and il he does not nee his way clearly
TO do 80. then the sheriff. whose clear
duty it is to see the laws enforced, should
attend to the matter, and that at once.
Tor the rising generation has enough temp
tations to withstand without having the |
number added to- az the opening OF such
an establishment as that proposed would |
most certainly do.

The New Race Track.

The NEws has received the following
communication concerning the new race
course which has been mentioned IN these
columns before:
To the Editor understand that there
is a movement on foot for the establish
ment of a racing park here. This is an
idea that ought TO meet with the appro-
val OF all the citizens of Calumet. | am
informed that fine stretch of ground
suitable for driving park may be OBJ
tanned short distance west of Red
Jacket. II a circular track il built a ma.
iority OF the sports now held in Hough-
ton and Hancock could be held here
Every time see the loaded trains leaving
here TO attend an event at Portage Lake
or Lake Linden | think that Calumet
should have had a park long ago. One
thousand shares of stock at $40 share
would be easily sold in this community,
and the amount thus realized would do
the work and leave balance OF some
~, 900 for working expenses.
IL you will kindly insert this letter, il
may perhaps meet with general approval.
Hoping you will bring the influence of
the press TO bear upon the subject, am,
Yours truly,
