Governments Census Is Expected
to Show a Population Of $780,
900 in the u. p.
HOUGHToN COUNTY LEADS
Boom In Iron and Copper Has
Caused Influx of fLabOr-Also
the Lumber Industry.

Capt. Robert j. Bates, supervisor
OF the census of the Twelfth con-
gressional district of Michigan, which
is the upper peninsula, makes the
prediction that the count to be made
next summer will show the popula-
tion of the district to be not less
than 250, 900. BY the national census
of 1890 1T had population of l8O, ,658,
while the state census four years
later gave it 2O6, 500. Some guessers
place the population in 1900 at a
figure considerably higher than the
one given by Capt. Bates.
No section of the state has shown
a more rapid growth in the past
decade than the upper peninsula.
This has been particularly marked
within the past two years, in which
time there has been great influx of
people to all parts Of the peninsula,
but especially to the iron and copper
regions. In these sections the re-
turn of good times has brought the
resumption of many old mines and
the opening of new ones, while mines
which managed to get through the
period of depression under short
sail are now being worked to the
limit of their capacity. This con-
dition of affairs has made labor in
demand, wages have risen to a high
point where they have been an in
ducement to miners and laborers of
all sorts to come in. They have in
turn been followed by others who
live off the first producers. The
same is true, though not so markedly,
in the lumber regions, Michigan s
pine reserve is not what it once was,
but there is still millions and mil
lions of feet of good lumber in its
! forests and thousands of men are en-
gagged in taking it out. The advance
in the price of lumber within two
years back has also stimulated pro-
duction along this line, and while
there is at best but few season S
cuts ahead of them, operators are
working on bigger scale than they
have at any time since the panic.
This has called another class OF
laborers to the woods, and the towns
which live off the lumber industry
are lively and growing.
1t will be found, undoubtedly, that
the greatest gain of all has been
made in Houghton county. The
copper country, as it is commonly
called, has gained largely in popula.
tion since the big copper boom set
in, but at no time during the panic
did it feel the depression which was
felt in other parts OF the country.
and as result it had steady in
crease OF population all those years,

LAWRENCE, KAS., Feb. 25.-(Special.)
The first inroad was made to-day on the
gang of horse thieves that has been op-
Grating in this city when Fred Mcdowell
was captured in Topeka, and three Of the
stolen horses found In his possession: The
thirteenth horse proved the unlucky one,
and the thief was arrested while trying
to dispose of three. Mcdowell was brought
here this afternoon and locked up.
He was met at the depot by several hum
dred men. and as soon as the sheriff ap-
peared with his prisoner there went up
cry of Hang him! Hang him!" that look
ed threatening. AS the sheriff took his
man uptown followed by all the police Of
ficers with drawn revolvers, the crowd
fell in behind and escorted the party to
the Jail. Here 200 men. mostly farmers,
were assembled. The intention was to or
ganize vigilance committee, but the pris-
oner arrived one train sooner than expect

There was much talk of a mob but moth
ing has come of it as yet. The Jail Is close
ly guarded, and the officers will take every
precaution to protect their prisoner.
Mcdowell has confessed that he was the

Is safe to say that nothing further will
be done until the officers, who are now
after the other men. return. Then trouble

A. LUETGERT PARALLEL.
Chicago Authorities Believe That Al
bert Becker Killed His Wife
to Marry Another


CHICAGO. Feb. 25.-A strange parallel to
the Luetgert murder mystery was brought
to light to-day. Albert A. Becker. a sau-
sagemaker living in the stock yards dis
trict, was arrested on suspicion Of having
murdered his wife on January q. for the
purpose Of marrying a younger woman.
Although the womah's body has not yet
been discovered, the police are. inclined
to believe that she has been murdered.
Becker makes contradictory statements,
and blood spots have been found on the
walls and floors Of barn in the rear Of
Becker's residence. Eight years ago
Becker married Theresa Hafenberg, in Mil
waukee, and shortly after moved to Chi
cago. Six months ago Becker became &c
quainted with 17-year-old Ida Sutterlin and
since then, according to his neighbors. he
has been extremely cruel to his wife. A
few few DAY days , pefore ore, January "a y Becker asked

of former wife, and was employed by him
as housekeeper. few days after Janu-
ary q. the day Mrs. Becker disappeared,
Becker married the Sutterlin girl.
