4 SERIOUS CHARGE
Made Against Harry Nj. Mason,
Mail Clerk on the d.,
=. =. ~ 4. Road.

Harry NJ. Mason, who for the
past four years has been mail clerk
on the ID. S. S. Il A. road between
Houghton and Mackinaw, was ar
rested at Houghton Thursday
evening by Inspector Ralph Bird,
the charge against him being
tampering with the mail.
1t appears that suspicion evident
ly pointed toward Mason, and a
"decoy letter had been placed in
the mail, and when he was arrested
the letter was fonnd on his person.
He was taken to Marquette yes
terday, and will doubtless be bound
over to the next term of the United
States court, which convenes in
that city in July.
Mr.. Mason's headquarters are at
ST. Ignace, where he has family.
If the charge against him is true,
he will certainly find himself in
serious trouble.

cupant thereof, but improvements
upon any such lands may be assessed
as personal property, as in the case
OF the other part paid lands.
Sec. l33. Whenever any person
has perfected his title of any such
lands and q deed for the same has
been issued by the state to such per-
son, the commissioner of the state
land Office shall so notify the county
treasurer of the proper county that
such lands are again and hereafter
taxable as other lands, and they may
thereafter be assessed to such owner
or occupant as other lands are as
sessed for all purposes.
Sec 134. All moneys received by
said commissioner for such lands be
turned over to the state treasurer
and be placed to the credit of the
general fund, and all expenses in
Cured shall be audited by the board
of state auditors and paid out of the
general fund.
1t will be noted that initial action
must be taken by the township board
of the township wherein such delin-
quent lands are situated ''It shall
be the duty of the auditor general
and the commissioner of the state
land office, when requested to do SO
by the township board, to cause an
examination of such lands ~ n
to be made as soon as practicable.
The purpose of this provision of
the act was to promote the settle
ment of the thousands of acres of
land that have been cleared of tim
Der and abandoned by the owner.
Undoubtedly many acres of such
lands are good agricultural lands,
and the easy terms offered would in
duce settlers to make home upon
them.
Whether any of this class of lands
shall be available for the purpose
intended by the act does not rest
upon the action of this Office, but,
primarily upon the township boards.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Fragment of Rife Ball Embedded
Itself i'm the Eye Of OlOf Been.


The following is taken from the
Iron Mountain Range-Tribune of
Saturday last, and must refer to
Ole Been, son of Capt. Walfred
Been, of Skanee, as there is no
such person living in this village:
sole Been, a brother-in- law of A.
Uddenberg, met with serious and
painful accident Monday afternoon
while practicing target shooting in
the rooms over the latter's drug
store. Mr. Uddenberg, Mr.. Been
and a number of other gentlemen
were testing a 22-caliber rifle. Back
of the paper target was black
smiths anvil which was used as
backset for the rife balls. When
the rifle ball struck the anvil it was
shattered into a thousand pieces
filling the air with flying splinters
of the fractured leaden ball One
piece struck the pupil of Been s eye,
embedding itself into the organ of
sight, causing the victim much pain.
1t was deemed best to have the
young man S wound attended to by
an eye specialist, and he was taken
last night to Milwaukee for treat
ment. Mr.. Been is a resident of
L'Anse and was here on visit with
relatives. The young man was at
one time an employee of the First
National bank of this city.

A MIDNIGHT ALARM.
L'Anse Visited by Another Small
Fire Shortly After IL O'Clock
Monday Morning.

At 1918 o'clock Monday morning
the people of this village were again
startled by the alarm of fire,
which proved to be the building
on the corner of Main and Broad
streets, owned by p. Brennan,
which for many years was used
by M. Mauger as a saloon, and
for the past year occupied by
Charles Culllnan, who conducted
like business. The flames had
made great headway before being
discovered, and as the fire evidently
started from the inside, it was
impossible to save the building
after the alarm could be sounded
and the firemen could possibly
reach the spot. Fortunately there
was no wind to speak of, and
considerable rain had fallen during
the night, which materially aided in
preventing the flames from spread
ing to adjoining buildings.
The fire was soon gotten under
control with the aid of the excellent
water works system the town is
provided with, but not before
the building was entirely Quilted,
and nothing left standing but a
portion of the sides and front.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Cullnan had left the place
about an hour and half before,
and everything was all right at
that time.
The building was valued at 81, 100,
and was insured for $500. Mr..
Cullnan carried insurance of $500
on the fixtures and $400 on the
stock of liquors, etc.
Mr.. Brennan will doubtless re-
bull /.
The rope on the engine house
reaching to the fire bell is
evidently in bad shape, and it was
with difficulty that the bell could
be sounded at all, and but few
people were able to hear it, the
sound was so faint The council
sh. Id see to the matter at once,
and have it put in good working
order.
There are two things that the
citizens of L'Anse should ask for
aud insist upon having, viz: A
night watchman, and at least
ten or twelve street lamps, ar
ranged on the corners and principal
parts of the streets. The cost
of lamps would be comparatively
small and they are certainly badly
needed. There is not "a town in
the state which has better water
system in case of fire, but with
the total darkness in which the
Village is enveloped, and the
absence of night watchman, fire
can obtain great headway before
being discovered. Prompt action
should be taken and necessities pro-
vided for.

TURKS REPULSED.
They Met Defeat Eight Miles from
VOlO-LOst Heavily and Were
Driven Back.

London, April "a special dis
patch from Volo, the port of Thes-
sally, announces that the Turkish ad-
vance forces have attacked the
Greeks at Velestino, about eight
miles west of Volo, and on the rail
road connecting the latter place
with Larssa and Pharsaia The
Turks, however. the dispatch says,
were repulsed with heavy loss and
driven back as far us Teherlis.
GREEKS HARD AT IT.
Athens, April 28-Col. Manos
telegraphcd from Arta yesterday
Fighting has been in progress at
Pentipguadia since morning. The
Greek troops occupied strong posi-
tions in the pass.
Another engagement took place
at Platia, the result OF which is not
yet known, since the enemy main
tains his positions, though the
Greek artillery have inflicted great
damage at the villages of Kalentzi
and Fortosi, where the Turks are
concentrated.
The Turks left the route from
Pentepiguadia to Janina open. The
Turks have abandoned the entire
Lourohes valley and the country
around SOUL. The Turks appear to
be much discouraged and their gar
rison has been diminished by whole
sale desertions. We need reinforce
ments and mountain batteries. We
have captured large quantities of
ammunition and especially for artil
lery use, in the positions abandoned
by the Turks.
