Co., has had hundreds of men working
day and night in an endeavor to be in
shape to continue the smelling of zinc
ore by means of new furnaces before
pei ma 1ent injunction is issued. They
sent TO France for scientific expert
named s. Cappau and he has devised
new ore roasting process after
months Of work. 1t is now believed the
new furnaces will be ready in two
weeks. Thus the Lanyon Co. seems to
have won out after gigantic efforts.
In order to erect the new furnaces
an immense quantity Of steel beams
was needed by the Lanyon Zinc Co.
This they secured only after the great
est effort. The steel output being con-
trolled by the Steel trust, that COM
pany would not sell any to the Lanyon
Co. The latter company wrote letter
after letter to every steel house in
America. The answer was always the
same.
Cant Eli your order. Very sorry,
but have so many orders on hand we
are unable to do so. Would be pleas
ed to have your orders in the future, 4"
etc.
Finally the Lanyon Zinc Co. was
forced to send men over the country to
buy up all the old steel rails they
could find. After months of search
enough old steel was secured in this
manner TO proceed with the new fur
mace.
For the past two weeks the price OF
metallic zinc has been soaring to an
almost unprecedented price Columns
OF speculation have appeared in the
daily papers as to the cause of the
enormous rise in the price of zinc. II
is due TO belief on the part OF the
Steel trust that at last they were on the
verge Iof closing down the Lanyor
smelters and obtaining a corner or
the zinc output Of the country.
The canyons, however, announced
that even if they we're beaten in the
final fight today the suspension oi
operations will be for so short time
that the corner on the zinc output con
templated by the Steel trust will bt
so brief that the effect on the marke
will be of little moment.

County Commissioners Convene

The board Of county commission
ers met this week at the county
clerks Office to hold their regular July
session. There is quite good deal
of routine business to attend to, in
cluding bills and the inspection of
work being done.
One of the first matters attended to
was the appointment of G. w. Smith
as trustee of Deer Creek township, to
fill the vacancy created by the death of
H. Robenstein.
After looking thoroughly into the
matter, the board ordered the relea e
from Jail OF George Allen. His fine
was RENTED and he is ordered to set
tie the costs within forty-fve days
Allen is the man who was convicted of
bigamy. He supposed he was divorced
from a HUTCHINSON woman and mar
ried an lola widow. The Hutchinson
wife appeared, consulted the lola wife
and the two went after George. He
was convicted, fined and sent to jail
but under all the circumstances. no
body ever believed he vas wilfully
guilty. Hence the leniency shone y

OfIicer Cannon Arrested.


REGISTER readers remember the
shooting, aft air WHICH occurred at La
Hat pc on thei morning Of July 4th.
Two employees of the rolling mill,
named Kellender and Sheehan were
shot by the city marshal, named, Can
non. One was shot through the liver
and the other in the side both being
dangerously wounded. They are now
lying in the lola hospital and the bat
tie between life and death is going on.
There has been a lot of talk since the
shooting and many of the stories told
are doubtless wild, but beneath it all
is general feeling that the shooting
was not absolutely necessary. Pend
ing full investigation of the affair,
the county attorney has issued war
rant charging Mr.. Cannon with as
sault with a deadly weapon and he is
now under arrest. If the men recover
Cannon will be prosecuted on the
charge now fled and if either of the
men dies the complaint will bechanged

People in East lola have been an
noyed by petty thieving for some time

the guilty parties. Houses are entered
during the owners absence and are
ransacked and small sums of money
taken. The reason large sums are
not taken is probably that the house
breakers cannot find the large sums.
