SCHOOL ELECTION.

On Monday July 18th occurs the frs
school election under the new law an,
IL will be an event that the people O.
the school district ought not TO pas
lightly by. There members OF the
, board are 70 be elected. two from the
township OF Crystal Falls and one from
the city of Crystal Falls. One Of the
members from tho township u Crystal
Falls must be elected 10 the clerkship
OF the board by the members of the
board itself, The new board will
have the MATTER of building new
school house and the repairing OF the
old building TO do and in the prosecu-
tion of these works will have the
spending Of thousands of dollars of the
money Of the people Of the township.
Last winter when there was so much
agitation over the bonding question
everyone was alive to the Importance
OF getting out and putting good men
into the position on the school board.
At the present time it seems that that
aotiveness has all passed away and in
its place has come the us ual apathy
apparent upon such occasions.
The crop of candidates for positions
on the school board is et the present
time very light. The only person who
has come out with an announcement
OF hid candidacy is J. II. Parks. We
have heard indirectly that Jas. f. Cor
coran will be candidate when the
times comes and we have also heard
many people suggest the name Of Supt.
w. J.. Richards as one OF the members
from the township.
The board will meet on the Saturday
pervious to the election to make re-
gistration of the voters on the district.
In this registration all who were on
the registers of the city or township
last spring will be entitled TO vote
but anyone who was not registrated
then ought to appear before the board
and have their names placed ON the list
If they wish to vote.

Lawr nee had some words over We
man that stays at VanGorders resort.
All OF the afternoon he kept drinking
and trying 10 pick a quarrel with
Lawrence. Finally the men came to
blows, Lawrence telling VanGurder to
go with him outside and he. would
give him all of the fighting he wanted.
AS they were going out Lawrence
struck Vandorder. The latter i'm
meiately pulled gun and fired at
Lawrence striking him in the hip.
Lawrence nephew ran into the sal
loon and secured his uncle's gun and
handed t 10 the wounded man who
Immediately fired shot at the fleeing

gan TO pump lead at Lawrence. One
shot struck the nephew ia the shoulder
inflicting a flesh wound.
Ia the mean time, John Salchert, a
young man 70 years Of age was com
ing down the sidewalk from Rundel s
opera house where he is employed,

sort and when the officers arrived at
Quinnesec they found him prepared to

ruse on him and to that end sent a
boy out to the place with message
saying that the wound Was only a
slight one and that he had better give
himself up. He started for town and
the deputies met him on the road
surprising him and covering him with
Gheir guns He surrendered and was
disarmed. Tney found him well arm
