A WOOdsman Named Matt Anala
Killed bv Train About Three
Miles from L'Anse.
BODY TERRIBLY MANGLED.
Remains Taken to Michigamme.
Where an Inquest Was
Held.

Matt Anala, F1niauder, who
was employed in cordwood camp
about tive miles west Of the Summit,
met death on the South Shore track
on Summit bill, about three miles
from L'Anse, Saturday evening
last, at $50 o'clock.
1t appears that the deceased and
comrade named John Elsileav
came to L'Anse during the day
and both began drinking. They
left town about 2 o'clock 10 the
evening and started up the railroad
track. Elsileau had jug of liquor.
According to report Elsileau left
his friend and proceeded to the
camp.
1t is supposed that Anala was so
much under the influence of liquor
that he lay down on the track and
was killed by an extra freight train
which passed that point about
a:30 O'Clock, headed toward the
Summit. The body was mangled
almost beyond recognition. The
train was stopped and the remains
taken on board, conveyed to Michi-
CANINE, and coroner notified.
Supt. c. f. Lytle, of Marquette,
also wired Gordon Johnston, Of
this village, one of 1the coroners of
Baraga county, but later Mr.. Lytle
notified him that he :had been in
formed that the coroner at Michi-
CANINE had charge of the remains.
The inquest was held at sthe latter
place Monday morning and the re
mains buried there.
According to report from Michi-
CANINE published in the Mining
Journal, the trainmen all agree
that the body was cold when they
got off the train to pick it up. This
would indicate that the man was
dead some time before the train
came along.
The man may have been murdered,
or may have met death by falling
against a rail in his intoxicated
condition. 1t is likely that the
latter is what happened, as his
comrade showed no signs of having
been in fight, nor did he act like a
man conscious of having committed
crime.
1t is understood that the deceased
was married man, his wife re-
siding in Finland.

MET A SHOCKING DEATH.
Seven Y ear-Old Lad Falls Down
Jasper Knob Int a Pit
at Ishpeming.

One Of the most shocking acci-
dents which has occurred at Ish-
peming in many months happened
Monday afternoon. John Johnson,
son of Nels Johnson, was playing
with number of other children on
the Jasper street side Of Jasper
Knob, when he in some way lost his
balance and fell two hundred feet
into the open pit. The water in the
pit is about forty feet deep. 1t is
probable he was dead before he
struck the water, as the ledge is
very sharp and the decline steep,
and he turned over several times in
his awful plunge to death.

consequently no new road will be
built by the mining companies.

LAND CASE HEARD.
HOmesteaders VS.. Michigan Land
Il Iron Company.

A hearing was held Thursday at
the interior department, Washing
ton, before Assistant Attorney
General Vandeventer in the case of
large number of homesteaders
against the Michigan Land & Iron
company, involving between $500, 900
and $780, 900 worth of land in the
Marquette land district.
The company, which consists
largely of Boston and London
parties, claims title to $50, 900 acres
of land as bona fide purchases under
grant from the Marquette, Hough-
ton & Ontonagon railroad company.
The government contends that the
railroad purported to give the com
pany about GO, 900 acres more than
the railroad had earned title to.
The real issue in the present case
is stated to involve little over
30, 900 acres.

BREAKwATER CONTRACTS.
That Of Placing Timbers Not Yet
Fully Decided Upon.

The SENTINEL has been informed
that the contract for the timber
work in the construction of
the breakwater along the Bay Shore
road to the brick yard has not as
yet been let, but that applications
have been received from parties in
the village, who have not furnished
the required bond. John McKanna
was awarded the contract for the
rock filling. The plans and specifi-
cations call for a substantial abut-
ment FIVE timbers high, securely
fastened with drift bolts.
The timber for the work will be
furnished by Pascal Perron. The
length of the breakwater will be
300 feet.
Rails will then be laid from the
South Shore tracks to the brick
yard, therby furnishing excellent
railroad facilities for shipping
brick.

Work of Placing Machinery In
Position Is Progressing
FavOrably.
IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS,
1t Is Expected, the First Brick
Will BE Turned
Out.

The task of getting the new brick
yard Of the Michigan Supply COM
pany in readiness for producing
brick is progressing as rapidly
as can be expected. The
nature of the work which has been
under progress for some time past
is such as to demand the greatest
care aad exactness in having it
properly done, consequently this
portion of the work has not been
accomplished with the utmost speed.
However, Messrs. T. H. and V. A.
H. Robinson, the gentlemen who
have charge of the construction
work and the installing eof ma
chinery, are men Of experience in
their line of business and may be
depended upon to have things
properly accomplished.
1t is expected that the first brick
will be made in about three weeks.
All efforts are now being made to
that end. We are informed that
several inquiries have been received
as to the probable length of time
before orders for brick can be
filed.
Workmen have been engaged
on the foundation of the main
building during the past few days.
The foundation, which is con-
structed in the form of piers built
of brick and cement, is about
finished.
One important piece of work ac-
complished during the past week,
was placing together the different
parts of the brick making machines.
The boilers have been placed in
shape and it will not be long be-
fore large frame building will be
put up. AS soon as the building is
erected, which will be commenced
IN few days, large force oil men
will be employed.
In another week the industry will
begin to assume respectable pro-
portions, and no doubt when opera
tions are once started it will be q
permanent industry.1
The new building will be erected
some distance in the rear of the old
one. For the present the old build
ing will be used as a barn and store
room, but will eventually be torn
down.
AS soon as the plant is in running
order, THE SENTINEL will have
more to say anent the enterprise.

Change i'm Postage stamps.

The question Of changing the de-
sign of the regular issue OF postage
stamps is under consideration at the
postoffice department. Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Madden
says it was probable that the name
of the person will be presented un-
der the head borne, on the stamps.
Other changes suggested which
may receive serious consideration
are that the dates of birth and
death OF the person may be printed
under the name and that the design
also bear an inscription giving the
year of issue Of the particular series
Of stamps.

NOT IN PERSON
Mine Workers Use Mail to Ask
Operators Presence at
Conference.

Scranton, Pa, March 19-As the
result of conferences held today be-
tween President John Mitchell Of the
United Mine Workers and the three
district presidents of the anthracite
region, communications were sent out
this afternoon from the United Mine
Workers head quartersto the presidents
of all the coal companies and large
individual operators. The communi-
cations contained statements of the
action of last weeks convention in
dopting a resolution asking their at
tendance at the conference of April /,
and further expressing acquiesence in
the action by the national president
and the presidents of districts No. l,
No. Z and No. 9. No attempt will be
made to deliver any of these messages
in person, as was done in the matter
of the invitations to the conference Of
March Is.
President Mitchell on being asked
whether there was any possibility Of
the operators being approached
through a third party and their atten-
tion at the conference of April ! thus
solicited, declared that the only init
nation he had received Of any such
movement was that he saw in today's
papers.

a willingness to scale down their
claims, as soon as the fact of China's
inability is manifested. However, as
another protection the same nations
promptly adjust their claims so that
the scaling down process, if applied,
would still leave them with a total
indemnity claim at least equal to that
of any of the other nations.
The difficulty encountered in pas
sing this point in the negotiations is
attracting more of the attention of the
officials here than the threatened col
lision betweenl allies at Tien Tsin,
which, by, the way, thus far has not
been the subject of a report to the
state department from Mr.. Rockhill,
though there is reason, to believe that
some of the ambassadors have made it
tine basis OF ar unofficial conference
with the secretary of state.

shares continued today without actual

heavy advance in the stock. A we'll
informed authority in Burlington

there will be any change in control.
Zone consequence of the episode of

likely to be aggressiveness in extern

given every facility for instance, to
reach the coast by existing routes, but
any effort to reach the Pacific coast

Cossack was killed.
1t is reported that one official Of the

First Steps Taken in Litigation
Over the Gilman
Estate.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, March 19-The
first step in what may prove to be pro-
longed litigation over the estate of
millions left by George F. Gilman the
tea merchant was taken this after
noon, when at the conclusion of the
hearing before Judge Nobbs, in the
probate court, it was announced that
counsel for the heirs who desired the
appointment of Edward L. Norton and
Edwards Percival of New York as ad-
ADMINISTRATORS, would appeal to the SUI

The ruling Of Judge hobbs is that
the Bridgeport Trust company shall
act as sole administrator, the motion
for the appointment of George W.
Smith, a nephew Of the dead million
aire. as co-administrator being denied.
An attempt made at the hearing today
to secure an adjournment to Thurs
day, under the plea that further con-
ference between the interested. parties
might bring about an agreement as to
an administrator, was unsuccessful. Z

WI Ting Fang Delivers Lecture on Chin

WI Ting Fang Delivers Lecture OF Chin
ese Civilization.
Chicago, March l9-Wu ling Fang,
Chinese minister to the United States.
delivered a conversational address to
the University Of Chicago at the
S%tudabaker theatre this afternoon be-
fore the faculty of the institution and
an audience that packed the theatre to
the doors. He took for his subject,
"Chinese Civilization His defense
of the civilization of his native coun-
try, in his comparisons with that of
the civilization of the occident was
much a%pplauded. In beginning his adj
dress, WI said China has been to other
nations like a recluse community in the
heart of a mountain. As told by Chi
nese writers of 1900 years ago, a COM
munity that fed from the persecu-
tions of the Chinese dynasty had
found peace and tranquility and con-
tent with their lot, had no desire
to emerge into the turmoil and excite
ment of a more active life.
