LAST GAME "A
WARM ONE.
Iron Mountain-CrystaI Falls
Base Ball Game a Hummer,
in Which the Locals had the
Best Of it by a Score ) TO 1.

Ihe much heralded base ball game
between the Crystal Falls and Iron
Mountain teams took place at the local
park last Sunday afternoon and proved
to be one OF the hottest affairs that
has been pulled off here this season
In point OF brilliant playing it WASH t
In it with the Hancock game but the
rivalry breeded an excitement that
carried the admirers off their feet
About 200 people came up on the
morning trains from Iron Mountain 10
root for their team. They knew that
the locals were a strong bunch and to
make it an even break they imported
two-men from Daggett and two from
Green Bay in addition to Joe Miller.
an Iron Mountain boy who has been
pitching phenominal ball for Green
Bay for the past month or so. There
were many of the best people of the
Mountain in the crowd and a good
sprinkling of ladies lent great deal
OF interest to the contest
The Iron Mountain sports, somehow,
figured out that they could have little
fun by bluffing the local fans 80 they
brought along their pocket books.
They soon realized, however, that
Crystal Falls was game and would
stake the courthouse and all the mines
on the locals so the fellows from the
range metropolis grew wary and, after
a conference. decided to put a provision
into all their bets that the bet was off

THE RULE.
Iron County Jvries Could Find
no. one Guilty. Docket
Cleared.

The October session OF the circuit
court for this county was called TO
order last Monday by Judge Stone in
one OF the most important sessions
held since the county was organized.
A roll call showed all interested In the
proceedings present and recess was
taken. - III after dinner to allow OF
the " i3of number of citizens
paper.l h.ed for by residents OF the
county. In the mean time the prison
ers in the Jail were arraigned and all,
with the exception of Manning and
westerberg pleaded mot guilty Z.
Westerberg was given sentenc Of not
less tnan one nor more than five years
in the branch prison at Marquette.
Manning was let go on suspended
sentence, he having already served ~
days in Jail for the violation OF the
liquor law.
I. w. Byers WAS appointed to defend
Poyor and the cases put upon the call
board, the Matson murder case coming
first.
Immediately after dinner the Matson
case was taken up. M. ii. Moriarty
had the defense Little difficulty was
encountered in impaneling jury and
the introduction Of testimony was
commenced in about an hour after the
case was started. 1t was evident from
Prosecuting Attorney Watson's opening
that he had an idea that the men was
not guilty Of intent to murder, but the
prosecutor went ahead with the case as
was his duty and put the facts to the
jury in plain and concise manner,
distasteful az the work must have been
TO him. The prosecution had a
strong case and when the witnesses had
finished with their testimony there
were very few in the court room that
didn't believe the man justitiable in
the act he did The charge TO the
Jury was short and to the point and
fifteen minutes after their retirement
they announced that they had agreed

A bad wreck on the Escanaba Lake
Superior and railroad last Sunday
caused the death Of St Paul break
man. A train loaded with about 40
cars of ore left Charming for Escanaba
with Engineer Roy Mead and Fireman
Fred StricKenbach In the cab.
Before the train reached Tn bidge at
Ford river, they saw that the river
was extremely high, and the enigneer
made some remark about it being
higher than ever before
just before reaching the bridge there
is curve, and as the train rounded
it the men in the cab were amazed 20
see the bridge washed away, and the
roadway for distance Of 200 feet from
the bridge a rushing river. It was
impossible to stop the train, although
an effort was made to do 40. and it
plunged into the water, and tipped
over, toward the left The fireman
did not have chance TO get out. and
went over with it, and was buried und-
er his cab. The engineer climbed
through the cab window TO safety
Head brakeman Mcdonnell was sitting
on the pilot, and when he saw the
danger he jumped into the water. and
was Obliged 20 swim 35 feet TO saftey.
Thirty minutes before the disaster -

Sweden but .'said the Doctor" the
eloquent discourse that we listened to
left us no time to think of the severity
of the climate
Rev. Hoikka came to this country
in 1878, locating first at Duluth,
Minnesota. He set to his work
for the betterment of his people
in this country and to that end has
ever bent his eneig gies. His people
have confidence in him and he Is a
power for good among them. Rarely
is his voice raised TO loud tone. but
in his quite, dignified way his words
strike the mark every time.
He came to this city three years ago
and took hold of the local congrega-
tion He not only made favorable
impression upon his own congregation
but won the respect Of the other people
OF the city as well.
Now that he has his new church In
such fine condition we hope him many
years of enjoyment OF it as conpen-
sation for his efforts.

solved together in the next inning and
Iron Mountain was never again in the
game.
Miller was easy fol the locals.
Henry, the first man up slammed out a
hit and in the eight innings Miller
struck on but three. Ball hit him for
three bases, Strom for two and Rich
ards for two. Nine hits were made
off him and but for the high wind that
was blowing square against the batter
he would have been put out of COM
mission. AS il was, he was being hit
vrey hard when the game broke up
The dispute arose over a second base
steal by Henry. The catcher fielded
the ball and Miller, the second base
man. caught IL and swung his right
arm around to the left TO touch him
but Henry was just passing the runner
the time. IL was bad break by
Miller. for had he swung the other
way he would have had the runner
without question. AS it was, he missed
him by about foot but made great
bluff, threw off his NIT and ran in.
Umpire Lau happened to be where he
could see the play plainly and called
the runner safe. There was an inn
mediate howl and finally the Iron
Mountains threatened to quit. When
it got to that pass, Manager Corcoran
went TO the Iron Mountain manager
and offered to give the man out but one
Of the palyers hustled out the gate
and ran for the hotel and the manager
claimed that he couldn get his man
back.
The affair is disgraceful one and
no one feels it more than Crystal Falls
people. The action was dictated by
few Iron Mountain sports who had
bet heavily on the game and knew that
they stood to loose. The Iron Noun
tain players, with the exception of
Millinan. were not to blame and even
the latter would not have quit the
game had ii not been pre- arranged be-
tween himself and the betters.
Miller, and Ried the Iron Mountain
second base man and catcher respec
lively are players above the average
Joe Miller IL nice boy but he cant
make good against the bunch that
Crystal Falls had this season.
