is Run.

Detroit, Jan. 13.-The News says
that the passenger steamboat lines of
the great lakes are going to withdraw
from the Lake Carriers association at
the annual convention that opens here
tomorrow and form an association of
their own, unless there is a radical
change in the policy of the lake car
riers, which the passenger men con-
tend is run in the interests of the
boats which form a large proportion
of the associations tonnage.
From a reliable source it is learned
that the Detroit, Belle Isle and Wind
sor Ferry company; the White Star
line, of Detroit; the Detroit and Cleve-
land line; the Detroit and Buffalo line,
the Cleveland and Buffalo line, and
other important passenger and excur-
sion companies on the great lakes have
already banded together to form an or
ganization of their own.

DEAD Man

Blown up by a premature explosion
of dynamite while blasting, and still
alive. Such is the case of Charles
A. Dodson. Dodson has now brought
suit in the superior court against VIM.
Honefinger and A. j. Narver to recover
$4,000 for the injuries he received.
That he is still alive to bring an action
of any kind is little short of miracle.
The complaint says Dodson was EN-
ployed ON ditch near Ritzville, which
was being dug by the defendants.
Much blasting was necessary. Peter
Grimley was employed as foreman Of
the blasting and at the time of the
accident he was experimenting. bod
son claims that Grimley was incompe-
tent and careless and had no idea of
how the powder should be handled
A charge of dynamite was placed in
a hole, A short fuse was attached and
was lighted before the charge was
placed in it's position. Both Grimley
and Dodson were at work fixing the

maturely, killing Grimley instantly and
