DOLL EXHIBITS WILL
BE FEATURE OF FAIR

One of the most unique features that
the Sacred Heart bazaar, which begins
October Q at Miners Union hall, will offer
for the edifcation of its patrons is the
dol booth, under the supervision of Mrs.
Frank Boucher By reason of the fact
that Mrs. Boucher has had great deal of
experience in this kind of work, it is GER
tain to be one of the most delightful at
fractions of the fair.
Already large collection of dolls have
been contributed and many more are
promised Mrs. +. c. McGinn has donated
three handsomely dressed dolls, certain to
bring a good price. One of the most dis
tinctive dolls in the collection is dressed
as nun. In addition to the calm and
peaceful dollies, there will be a number Of
mechanical perfections to gladden. the
hearts of the little girls.
IL Some Of the handsomest dolls are very
valuable and in order that everybody may
have a chance to get them for trife, they
will be rafhed The bazaar is under many
obligations to Mesdames Niedenhoffer, Su-
prenant and Peter Breen for the valuable
contributions they have made. Mrs.
Boucher will be assisted at the doll booth
by Mrs. Joseph Carter, Miss Ida Ken
nedy, Miss B. Syrme and the Misses Low

LET THEM LAUGH

MuHDERERS WHO THREW CHILD IN
SHAFT WILL NEVER BE DIS
COVERED AT ALL.

There were no new developments today
in the finding of the child's body in the
Lite Pete mine, south OF the city, ycster-
day afternoon. George Posey and Z. Lis
comb, who found it, explained the cir
curnstances Of their discovery to Corone.
Johnson, who made every effort to trace
the persons who threw it there. As the
body was so badly decomposed as to hide
its identity completely, there is little
probability that the perpetrators Of the
deed will ever be brought to justice.
l. is impossible for the officers to tell
whether the child was dead when put in
the shaft. All they can see is that it was
weighted with irons and sunk in the water
at the bottom of the mine where it has
lain for at least three months.
II Posey and Liscomb had not gone to
their mine to do assessment work il is
doubtful If the remains would ever have
been found.

Saratoga, N. Y, Oct. I.--lnterest cen
tered IN the meetings this morning Of The
committees on platform and contested
seats OF the democratic state convention.
1t was conceded that If William S. Devcrv
and his delegates from the Ninth New
York district we're not seated there would
be troublous times, Mr.. Devery having de-
clared that he would make an appeal on
the floor of the convention.
Devery held more than zoo spcctators'
seats for the convention hall, which were
given him by sympathizing delegates from
all over the state, quite large number
coming from Tammany delegates.
When approached with the suggestion
that the wisest way out of the difficulty
would be to leave the representation of
the Ninth district vacant, Mr.. Devery
replied:
Il will make no such agreement. |
won by big majority and | am entitled
to the seats, unless the democratic party
wants to go on record MS saying that
an election certificate is of no value, ana
that the will Of the majority means moth
ing In addition to that ! want to cali
attention to the fact that Goodwin re.
ceived the lowest vote on the ticket. Mr.
Sheehan's party received the second lowest
and he does not contest" -
The Crowd Was With Him.
After remaining at the rear of the hall
for short time, Devery started down the
aisle. In minute the convention hall
was in an uproar. Even the band was
drowned out, as delegates and friends
stood on their chairs and cheered and

Hes seated He's seated |" yelled the
crowd
But Devery raised his hand and called
OUT
Not yet Not yet
Then arose the cry from one side of
the gallery, whats the matter with
Devery?"
And back in roar came the answer,
Hes all right !"
Shortly thereafter the announcement
reached the convention hall that the COM
mittee on credentials would not seat either
Devery or Goodwin.
In deciding the Devery contest, num-
bcr of heated speeches were made, and
when it was explained that il was Senator
Hills desire that neither Devery nor
Goodwin be recognized, motion to that
effect was carried with but few dissenting
votes.
Hill Greeted by an Outburst
When Senator Hill entered the convcn-
tion hall there was great outburst of APP
plause. When the report of the committee
on credentials was called for, Chairman,
Mcmahon said: I'm presenting the report,
| move the previous question"
This was to prevent debate. When the
secretary read, "In the Ninth district, New
York, neither delegation is entitled to
seats in the convention because of the
wholesale corruption" roar of cheers

EVEN THOUSAND IS
ENOUGH FOR CLAIM
/. j. BROWNING ACCEPTS COMPRO-
MISE IN HIS SUIT AGAINST
FORMER EMPLOYERS.

Settlement has been reached in the case
of l.. j. Browning against the Milwaukee,
Montana Mining company, in which the de-
fendant agrees to pay the plaintiff the sum
of $1,000 in cash, which is full satisfaction
for his claim against the company.
Browning was at one time manager and
superintendent of the company's mines at
Sand Creek, Madison county, and in his
complaint he alleged that from March to
August of this year he was short $738 in
his salary and that besides he expended
1913 for the use of the defendants, for all
of which he asked judgment. Instead of
the aggregate, $I,116, he now settles with
the company for an even $1,000.
An application for dismissal of the case
has accordingly been filed in the office of
the clerk of the district court by the plaint-
ifs attorney, John Lindsay.

EDNA HAS TO DIG
UP FORTY PLUNKS
QUEEN OF THE DEMlMONDE is
FINED MORE THAN SHE TOOK
FROM JOHN DOE FORD.

Edna Ross may not be in the habit Of
reaping that which she sows, but to use
the language of the street she "got little
more than was coming to her this morn
ing when Judge Boyle fined her $40 for
having robbed John Doe Ford Of a wallet
containing $50 in gold.
The Ross woman pleaded guilty to the
theft, Iut thought the judge would only
fine her as much as she had stolen. Her
disappointment was visible when Judge
Boyle announced that she would have to
"dig up" $40 more "as interest on the
stolen coin."
The money was paid and the woman
departed.
The robbery took place in room over
the Newport saloon Tuesday night An
unsophisticated youth, who gave hsi name
as John Doe Ford, paid visit to the Ross
woman in her room and on taking his
departure was minus his pocketbook.
Edna was arrested and protested her in
nocence until this morning.

rived in town from his camp about
four miles west of town and reported
he had seen girl going towards
Tower on the railroad track the even
ing before.
Supt. Newberry of the Schools and
Officer Glode secured rig and drove
IT, the Housley camps where the story
as to having seen the girl was SUBJ
stantiated by a teamster employed
there. They kept on going and when
the3 O'Clock passenger train came
along they got on and proceeded to
Robinson lake from whence thew
walked back as far us mile 108 where
the girl was discovered at the Page
camp.
She arrived there Tuesday evening
and Informed Mr.. and Mrs. Page that
size was an orphan and was looking
for Il place to live, being on her road
TO Tower, so she said. She wished to
leave the same evening but was in
duced TO stay the night. In the
morning she was contented and de-
cided to remain at Pages.
She was brought back last evening.
What induced the girl to leave home
in such an abrupt manner is hard to
say, but opinions are varied. Her
sister was to go to Superior to school
i'm few days and the two being deep
ly attached, it is thought she decided
to also go.
Everybody joined in the search and
the prompt action by Mayor Gleason
and his police officers and the efficient
work done by Prof. Newberry is TO be
commended.
