Commenting on the statement that MT. Rockefeller will give ten million dollars to aid in the search for microbes The Kansas City Journal argues that "Peary should contrive some way to convince MT.

Gorton's Minstre!s, Tonight.

Gorton's famous MINISTRIES will APP
pear at the Opera House tonight and
indications point to a crowded house.
This company is said to be the most
elegantly costumed minstrel organiZa-
ton travelling. The first part presents a
most beautiful combination of colors,
being draped in solid wine colored plush,
with old gold trimmings, the effect be-
ing greatly heightened by the addition
of numerous brilliantly colOred electric
lights which, together with costumes OF
costly silks and satins, form a picture
of dazzling splendor. The company
possesses an excellent quintette OF
trained vocalists who render the lat
est ballads and selections. The inStru-
mental music and various high class
specialties fully sustain the reputation
of Gorton's Ministries and there is nc
doubt of their being greeted with a
crowded house.

THE DEADLY
SET GUNS WORK.
ED. CROP SHOT BY ONE IN WOODS
NEAR DEER RIVER LAST SUN.
DAY MORNING.
LOWER PENINSULA MEMS WORK.
Two Of Them Captured But the Guilty
one Made His Escape Beyond the
State Limits Settled.

Edward Crop, one of our foremost
Finnish citizens was badly manned by
"A set gun in the woods near Balsam
last Sunday. Mr.. Crop was at one of
the camps near there and started for
home that morning. When few rods
from the camp he tripped wire that
discharged gun set so as TO cover the
path. A charge of buck shot entered
his legs. seven in one leg and four in
the other. He fell to the ground and
began to bleed profusely. Luckily he
was near enough to the camp so that
the inmates could hear him yell and
the cries brought to his rescue several
men from the place. They took the
wounded man to the camp and band
aged up his limbs 50 as to stop the
flow of blood and then started for the
Falls to get conveyance.
The news of the affair spread rapidly
and Sheriff Holmes returned with the
team to capture, if possible, the fellows
guilty of setting the gun. The party
returned late in the evening with the
wounded man and two lower penin-
sula hunters
The fellows arrested gave their
names as Levi Barber and Cnas Herald
and they stated that they came from
Belding, in the lower peninsula though
it is claimed that they are from In
diana. A third man was in the same
party but he made his escape and to
this writing has not been found The
two men in custody state that the man
who escaped owned the gun and placed
it where it was. They give his name
as Jonn Dorman, though it IL thongnt
that none Of the names are correctly
given.
The matter was given a thorough
investigation by the proper officials on
Wednesday Of this week. It seems
that all concerned were breaking tine
law as near as can be judged from
