Iron Ore.

A gentleman who has mining prop

follows and advertises his bonanza in
in a novel manner:
..Sir:-I have a valuable mine for

found it myself. I pegged it out in a

nor and by west. To speak officially:

Road Moneys.

The county commissioners took a
respite from the duties of the board
of equalization and held brief but
important session Thursday after
noon. The board appropriated moneys
to build some greatly needed roads in
the county and for which estimates
amounting to 1000 were approved
some time ago.
The amounts appropriated are as
follows: In Commissioner Swenson's
district, $3.50: in Commissioner
Morcom's district. $4,000; in Conn
missioner Dinham's district, $500.
The board referred to the county
attorney formal application for the
incorporation of the village of Sparta,
one OF the rising and rapidly growing
young communities OF the Mesaba
range. The Genoa mine is at Sparta.
The certified returns of the poll made
Aug. Z shows that the village then
had 200 inhabitants. The petition
will receive formal consideration at
the meeting to De held Aug. 10 to
which date the board adjourned after

TOWER WINS.
The Towers Score Hard Fought Victory
over the Ely Team.

The game Sunday between Tower
and Ely on the home grounds proved
quite an interesting exhibition and
one which nearly proved disastrous to
the Tower boys and their percentage
table. Very few OF the ToHerites fol-
lowed their club and few Elyites were
present at the grounds owing to the
opinion that prevailed that in con-
sequence OF the departure of Lynn,
Coyeau, Heard and Larson, the Ely
boys would prove easy victims to the
well-organized Towerelub. The game
was a postponed one from the Begin
ming of the season and the Tower
boys were particularly anxious to play
the game Sunday pecially after
they were informed that the former
strong Ely club had disbanded and
were. practically speaking. in dis
connected state.
The game opened at 3 O'Clock with
Tower at the bat: Lynch in the box
and Sullivan behind the bat. In the
first half of the first inning Tower
scored three runs and the Ely boys
did likewise in their half. In the
next Tower added three to her score.

at the end of the second inning to I

 'The contract in Hartford was for 2la-inch asphalt, against ? inches in this city, The specifications in other respects were about the same."
 Chapel street is narrow and has two tracks on it, making it a very hard street, while Main street, Hartford, is very wide and hence a good street, con- sequently the wear will be greater on the former street, and it will take more to keep it in repair than it will Main street, Hartford.
 MT, Mansfield then told the commit tee how it came that the bonds were fixed the night of the awarding the contract and this was because of his engagement elsewhere.
 The examination of Mir. Mansfield closed the investigation for the even- Ing, and the committee adjourned sub ject to the call of the chairman.

ger, or as the naturalist would say, TaXileo Americana,
 Wi ch this object in view, early Tues day morning little party set out from the plantation for the nearby haunts of the object of their quest whose trail had )een seen a few days before. Tine equir of the hunters consisted of a rifle a lasso and a strong tWine net fast1ned to the end of a long pole. It was heir purpose of course, to capture the badger alive, and the rifle was talk en along solely for safety's sake.
 No long after reaching the vicinity of tl,e animals abode they sighted their prey, and after some lively man. oeuv'ing and exciting sruflling sue | ceednd in lassoing the beast, enmeshing him in the net and making him a sure candidate for gory arena,
 By seven o'clock Tuesday eVenng all prepu rations for the fight had been completed. Two fine hounds, picked | from a pack of twenty-five, were held | in ash awaiting the trial of animal cours ge and strength. The fight was to bt pulled off in a large room on the first floor of the refinery, and at the hour mentioned there were assembled MT. ees, his host, and a crowd of oth- CT persons.
 Err m the moment the badger scented the logs his ire began to rise and his snarll became v&ious. The dogs evinced an eagerness for the fray, too, and IT. looked as if it were going to be a battlt royal.
 Suddenly, however, all the plans for the combat were upset, The badger was r'eing securely held in the net. He was released at the same instant with | the logs. but as the hounds sprang at their wild foe they were cutely lodged by the furry beast, wlfo, now grown desperate with mingled fury and alarm at thn presence of so many men, sought to escape by leaping over the heads of ! those assembled the room. Here MT Lees became the most prominent actor in the arena. As it attempted to leap over him the badger did not clear MT Lees head, but lit squarely on his breaGt Instantly there was a lively cOmnotion among the crowd.
 Tho ugh astonished at the sudden turn If affairs, MT Lees, who is pow erful man and something of an athlete, began to fight desperately, and the | badger, furious at finding his escape cut of, fought likewise. The struggle was however, short, sharp and deci- sive Before the bystanders had a chance to take a hand m the fight be- tween man and beast MT. Lees had se- cured a vice-lille grip on the badger $ throat, and though the animal claWed wcke lily at his breast and inflicted several slight but painful wounds, he held on until the badger was choked almost beyond struggling. Not even then lid MT Lees release his grip, but threw his wild adversary to the floor and continued to choke it until life was eXtintt
 The .e was plenty of excitement about the refinery while Mir. Lees and the tadger were having it out with each other and when it was all over MT. L ees was the lion of the hour. Mir. Lees exhibition of nerve and strength was ot down on the programme, but his friends say he has now both seen | and f 1t q badger fight.

The Man Had Hard Time Getting the
 Better of the Little Beast.
 (From the New Orleans Times Democrat)
 Information has reached the Times Democrat of a novel and exciting ex- perience undergone by a New Orleans man at Sugarland, Tex. The incident is one that has, rarely, if ever, occurred before. Certainly it cannot be recalled that on any previous occasion a man has found himself forced into hand to hand encounter with a wild badger, that active and odd-looking beast whose forepaws exhibit an array of long, sharp claws scarcely less formid- able than tigers. Yet such a strug- gle between an unarmed man and an enraged beast of this species is now on record, and MT. s. S. Lees, well known in this city as the representative of the Stirling Boiler company, is the hero who bested his wild animal adversary with only natures weapons.
 For some days MT. Lees has been the guest of Ed H. Cunningham x Co.,, su- gar producers and refiners at Sugar. land. During his stay his host anl others on the plantation sought to pro- vide some novel entertainment in hon. or of their guest. After much rumina- ting and many counsels together on the subject, some one hit upon the idea of arranging a fight between a wild badger and hounds. This proposition met with general enthusiastic endorse ment, especially when every one learned that MT Lees had never wit messed a set-to of this kind in his life. Active preparations were begun by the organization of party which was to go out and provide the necessary bad
