ORDINANCE NO 30.

City Attorney Palmer was in
structed by the common council in
regular meeting Tuesday evening,
to draw up an ordinance pertaining
to railroad regulation in the city
limits of this city, and our legal
officer will no doubt have the new
ordinance, No. 80, ready for passage
and adoption at the next regular
meeting of our city dads Tuesday
evening next It seems that the
railroad crossing in the northern
portion of the city have been block.
ed by trains at different times for a
longer period than FIVE minutes
which is allowed by law, and or
crossings over which a great deal
of traffic is 60 on, thus causing an.
noyance to the public The coun
cilmen have taken the new ordin.
ance route to abate the nuisance.

TWO TRAINS ,DAYLY

The Enterprise is in receipt Of the
new time card" of the Duluth & Iron
Range railroad which will take ef-
feet today. The present morning
train which leaves here at sos for
Duluth remains the same, arriving
in Duluth at noon. The 3:15 D. m.
passenger which leaves Duluth re.
mains the same, arriving here at
7:15. The new train leaves Duluth
at 7:3O every morning, except Sun
day, and arrives here at 11:25, re-
turning it leaves here at $50 D. M,
arriving at Duluth at 7:30. This
change give Duluth people few
hours on the ranges and return the
same day, but as far as the Virgin
la, or range end, is concered, it re-
mains the same, with one excep-
ton, and that is the giving of bet
ter accommodations on the after.
noon train into Duluth and the ar
rival there at 1880 instead of 9 or 10

CLAUDE DURKEE KILLED.

News reached here last night OF
the death of Claude Durkee, the II
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. III. A.
Durkee, who formerly resided here.
The mother and children, Claude
and Pearl, recently moved from St.
Paul to Lardo, BIC, where Mr.. Dur
kee is conductor on a construction
train of the Arrowhead & Kootenay
road. Shortly after the family had
moved to their new home Claude
began working with his father and
to take up railroading. On Sunday,
October 10th, just after making a
coupling he stepped back, the heel
of his right shoe becoming caught
in track frog and before he could
extricate himself the cars forced
him to the track, several of them
passing over his legs and injured
him internally, from the effects of
which he died shortly after. De-
ceased was we'll known here and a
general favorite with everybody.
The bereaved PARENTS have the
heartfelt sympathy of their Virgin
ia friends.

A MUSICAL TREAT.

The concert and social hop given
~ the n. w. A. Band at the Opers
House Friday evening last, was a
most nEs successful event, from|a mu
steal standpoint. From a. financial
view the band does not realize wha,
wac expected and expectations were
not very large, either The people
OF this city should be: proud oi
our band and the estimation in
which it is held by musical people
OF the range and Duluth and should
show their appreciation. in a. sub
stantial way. The program as Civ.
en- below was that used to conduct
the affair and every number was a
feature. The vocal numbers, of
Prof. Everson, from his own pro-
duction, and Rev. J. NJ. Todd, were
we'll rendered and received. Prof.
LA. Shidlo was the eaccompanist in
both renditions. The violin solo,
"Home, Sweet Home" with varia-
tions, by George Edwards, was most
exquisetly rendered, and the: slide
trombone solo by Frank Michan
was very pleasing. The orchestra
work, under the leadership of Mr..
Edwards, was as satisfactory to the
dancers as that of the city organiza-
tions and there is no reason why
our people should send out of the
city for dance music. The dance
was continued for few hours after
the concert and was greatly enjoy.

Shot Httide1ttalIV.
John Shogren Shoots Himself
in the Right Arm While
Hunting Sunday.
RECEIVES BAD WOUND.

John Shogren and Will Anderson
of the Virginia Cash Grocery store,
and John Cervery, of N. A. Holmer's
tailoring establishment, went hunt
ing for partridge south of the city
on Sunday. At about eleven O'Clock
in the forenoon the boys stopped
for rest short distance east of
the Aetna powder house, all laying
their guns down. John layed his
gun down across two small logs
and after a drink at the spring and
short rest the boys decided to re-
sumo their hunt.
Messrs. Anderson and Cerveny
picked up their guns and started
forward and Shogren was about to
follow suit and approaching his
gun, a double-barreled affair, with
the 1nuzzle toward him and was in
the act of drawing it toward him
! with his right hand when it was
discharged, the trigger evidently
catching in branch between the
logs.
He did not realize at first whose
gun had been discharged, he states
so sudden did the accident happen
and the numb feeling produced in
his arm by the shot caused him to
doubt that anything serious had
happened, but upon the appear.
ance of a great deal of blood and
shattered condition his coat sleeve
the story was told.
Mr.. Cerveny, on seeing what had
happened waited for no instructions
from his companions but started
for medical assistance at Eveleth
By the time he returned with a
physician, DR.. More, Shogren and
Anderson had started for this city
the shattered arm being bound up
to stop the flow of blood, and put
himself in the hands of DR.. Lenout,
who dressed the injured member;
He is now resting as we'll as can be
expected under the circumstances,
b:ing comfortably settled in his
room over the Virginia Gosh Gro
Gerry store, where he is receiving
| the best of care at the hands of his
friends and brother Woodmen. He
will undoubtedly be laid up many
weeks, sufficiently long enough,
perhaps, to realize in what great
luck he was playing that he was
not instantly killed.
The shot entered at the wrist
of the right arm and tore away the
flesh and muscles from the bone of
the fore arm as far as the elbow.

had intended stripping the proper
ty in the near future and possibly
this winter, and upon the Enter
prise reporter asking what he could
give us in regard to it, Mr.: Munger
stated that he could not give any
thing for the present and that the
deal was "hanging fire. It has
been rumored the first of the week
that Gulbranson Bros, had the
contract for the stripping of the
Fay mine and would commence
work today, but the rumor is GER
tainly without foundation, but pro-
bably not very far from true. The
work will be done, but just when
time only tell.
Then, on the head Of all these
strange noises about the. stripping
of the Fay comes a little. gust of
wind from the Hibbing News and
it reads like this;
winston Bros. d Dear have
secured contract to strip the
Fay mine at Virginia, and will

While of course the News is cred.
tied as being absolutely correct, il
remains to be seen how near Bro
Atkinson comes to being on the
right track.

EVELRTH Stars DEFRATED.

The Junior football team of this
city again demonstrated the fact
that they could defeat any team
that Eve3eth could produce and did
it to the entire satisfaction of big
crowd OF spectators, on the grounds
south of the power house Saturday
afternoon, the game resulting in a
score of 20 to O. The: Eveleth Stars
came over in full force and our
boys could scare up but eight OF
their eleven and the boys. from
down the county road were about
to leave for home, stating that they
could get no "game" here, when
Capt. Reid quickly filed mp his
team and had the Stars retsrn. The
officials were secured and Eveleth
won the toss up. They kicked of
and the war was on The Juniors
secured two touchdowns in each
half but failed to kick a goal as the
wind was too strong from the west,
The score does not discourage the
Stars in the least and are planning
on return game in the near future
1t was pretty game and full of
good plays on both sides. The one
bad feature of the game, for the
visitors, was the stopping of the
timekeeper's watch for twenty min
utes, in the last half, after time

ALARM SYSTEM GONE WRONG.

= r. B. Freeay, manager of the To-
cal telephone company, was ap,
pointed as superintendent of the
fire alarm system by the common
council at their regular meeting on
Tuesday. His salary has been fixed
at $500 per month. The appoint.
ment is a good one and quite nec-
cesary at this time as the system
has gone wrong from neglect, and
no one has given it attention since
it was completed by Mr.. Freely and
accepted by the council two months
ago; the matter of the appointment
of someone for this position being
overlooked at the time. The city
certainly needs an experienced
line and battery man to take care OF
our fire alarm system, which was
inaugurated at a cost of $3.50, the
condition in which it is in at the
present time arising from the fact
that no one has taken care of it

First Aid to the Ininred.

The annual meeting of the Society
for the Instruction in First Aid to the
Injured was held on Friday in the
United Charities building, says the
New York Sun. The annual report,
which was read by President Charles
H. Marshall, showed that over 10000
persons had been instructed by the
society since it's beginning. Word was
received from Fire Chief Croker that
he hoped his men would have the
usual instruction this year. President
William H. Baldwin, Jr., of the Long,
Island railroad, wrote that the instruc-
ton given to the employees of the road
last year was very beneficial. 1t was
announced that on Thursday instruc-
ton in first aid to the injured was re-
sumed with the police. The police
men are being sent in squads of fifty
each for instruction. President Mar
shall announced that the society
would need outside subscriptions to
pay for that.

posed line passed through the farm of
Squire Beable, one time sheriff of
farke county and a very determined
man. His farm, which lay short dis
tance northwest OF Rockville, was a
very fine enc, and he was very proud
of it. The road would greatly damage
it, In consequence Mr.. Beable declared
that it should not be built through
his farm, affirming that he would shoot
dead the first surveyor that tried to
come upon his land When the sur
veying corps, OF which Mr.. Thompson
was the chief. arrived at the Bsable
farm, they found the old man stationed
near the fence line with his old long
barreled squirrel rife in hand, much
excited and breathing cut threatenings
and slaughter, saying that he would
klil the first man that tried to enter
his land. Mi. Thompson waited bot a
moment, when he whipped a revolver
out of his hip pocket, jumped the fence
and compelled the irate old gentleman
to put aside his gun. The surveyors
then proceeded to survey the line
through the Beable farm and the grade
was afterward built, destroying some
magnificent fields. and there the dam
age remains to this day The railroad

street Isegglng and Long Skirts.

A street beggar is thus quoted by a
Philadelphia paper: Strange as it
may seem, the trailing skirts that
women are now wearing have almost
ruined our business. That sounsd
queer. doesn't it? One not acquainted
with our business might fail to see
the connection between professional
begging and women's skirts. And yet
what l say is true. The greater part
OF our revenue ordinarily comes from
women but since they've taken to
these long skirts for street wear they
are forced to hold them up, and that
keeps one hand constantly occupied.
1t takes two hands to open a purse
and have often seen women stop as
though about to give something, but
this would necessitate letting go of
the skirt, and they have passed on
again. Yes, we have to study all these
things. The trailing skirt has already

Farmer. Fight with an Eagle.

One of the toughest battles between
man and bird ever recorded in Maine
occurred short time ago in farm
yard in the Kennebec district. Rufus
Berry of East Machias and female
eagle of unusual size were the COM
batants. The eagle, whose wings
measured eight feet from tip to tip, had
previously visited the farmyard and
killed and carried off one of the farm
er's sheep, and had returned and begun
a second attack on flock on day
when Mr.. Berry was hunting in that
place and happened to be near the
spot when she made her descent. A
shot from Mr.. Berry's gun knocked the
bird over, and. thinking she was dead,
he threw down his gun and ran to
secure the prize. When he grappled
with the bird, however, he realized
that he had made the greatest mistake
of his life. for her talons We're set
deeply into his flesh, and she chung
