Word was received here from Utah
last "Wednesday afternoon that Frank
McKernan had died in hospital at
Mammoth in that state. Mr.. McKernan
had been in Utah for some time and
about two months ago was taken i'll.
He was taken TO hospital and IL be-
came apparent TO him that he was
going TO die and only few DAYS be-
fore his death he had his affairs put In
shape for the end.
Mr.. McKernan was well known here,
having lived i'm and about the Falls
for many years. Mrs. McKernan went
insane several years ago and the shock
greatly affected him. His sister, Miss
Abbie McKernan and his brother
Patrick McKernan both reside in this
county. His two children are being
cared for by Miss Abbie at Stambaugh.
The remains will reach here to-
morrow.

Mr.. Lustfield has been feeling III for
some time back, though not sufficient
ly so TO incapacitate him for work.
He kept hustling about I'm his usual
vigorous way and kept growing worse
right along. Finally his ailment grew
to affiict him so that he sought medi-
cal advise. He was told that there
was no physical ailent bothering
him; that what he needs was rest
from his business, that will allow him
TO build up his system which had run
down from overwork. Accordingly he
left Tuesday evening for the Sacred
Heart Sanitarium, Milwaukee, where
he will spend some time in special
treatment and resting up in general.

THE WORK OF
A VANDAL
SOME ONE CUT THREE LARGE
BELTS AT FACTORY.
'-rzusED LOSS OF $500
Done Saturday Night While the
wafchman Was Working
Upstairs.

Last Saturday evening, about 900
o'clock. someone entered the factory
OF the CRYSTAL Falls Woodenware Co.
and cut the big drive belts that are
used In the principal power transmits
sions about the factory. The large belt
that is used to drive the main shaft,
taking its power from the drive wheel
on the engine, was cut in three places
and so badly mutilated that about six
feet OF new belt had TO be put in TO
splice IL out. This belt is very large
and very expensive one and the cutt-
ing OF IL was the worst feature OF the
affair as 1t completely crippled the
whole works. Another belt cut Is the
one that drives the veneer machine.
This is a comparatively large belt and
is worth a great deal OF money. Its
being put out OF commission crippled
enly the veneer machine while the
cutting OF the big belt shut down the
whole factory. Another big belt cut
was the one that drives the big cutoff
saw. This belt Is about as large as
the veneer machine belt and Is quite
important.
The deed was done while the watch
man was up stairs cleaning up. John
Meyer is night watch and part OF
his duty is TO clean the upper floor.
He busted himself at that work until
nine O'clock. He heard no noise OF any
kind but that is not to be wondered
at as the building Is very large and a
man, on such an errand, would natur-
ally steal in quietly TO accomplish his
deed without making any NOISE.
When Mr.. Meyer came down stairs he
noticed the belt cut but supposed that
1t had been left that way by the fore
man for the purpose Of working upon
1t the following day. The deed was
not brought to the attention OF the

The first meeting of the new coun-
Gil will be held on Monday evening

officer and, from all appearances, the
council starts out under very promis-

cials, with the possible exception ola
assessor, will be appointed at this
meeting. The city officers, who hold
their Office by appointment, will be
named at the first meeting i'm May,
that being the regular time for max
ing such appointments.
From what we have heard about
the city there will be plenty OF candi-
dates for the several offices, especially
for the Office Of street commissioner
This Office seems to be the choicest
flower OF the bunch, judging from the
number OF aspirants. We have heard
OF the following applicants for the
position, Mike Grattan, Jacob Binder,
Chas. Runback and Adolph Varney.

to be a dearth OF applicants for the

we have heard no other name men

in two also. He at once reported the
affair TO Mr.. Lucas and an. investiga-

has been received that leads the COM
pany TO fix the blame on any one.
IL is the universal opinion that the
deed was done by some one who was
.'soren at the management for some
fancied grievance and chose that
method of getting even.
1t was a disgraceful act and Crystal
Falls regrets that such a miscreant
lives within its pale. The loss incurred
by this act is quite heavy, amounting
in all about $500 TO the company and
considerable to the employees. This
loss Is represented by the injury to the
belts, the extra expense of maintain

down and the loss i'm output.

SUBSCRIPTION sa.oo PER YEAR

IN for a reorganization, there being
three prospective vacancies on the
board TO fill. Mr. Lustfield has served
live years on the board and his term
expires this year. He has given much
ofhis time 10 the city's welfare and
has been a hard worker. Mr.. LIS
health is not such as TO warrant his
accepting a re-appointment, II il were
rendered to him. The memberships
on this body held by Mayor Corcoran
and j. A. Knight will have 10 be
filled. Mr.. Corcoran resigned at the
last meeting OF the board because OF
his being elected mayor, the two posi-
tions conflicting. Mr.. Knight will re-
move from the city in few days
which will vacate his position.
City attorney is another position
to be filled and this will undoubtedly
fall to Mr.. Abbott again. The suit
against the city will come up during
the year and Mr.. Abbott has had the
whole of this matter so far so that his
knowledge OF the case makes him a
valuable man TO the city.
There will be member OF the
police force TO appoint and also city
surveyor and members Of the board of
city assessors.
Mr.. Corcoran is doing no talking as
to what he proposes to do with any OF
the Offices and all discounting OF what
will be done are mere guesses. Mr..
Corcoran is starting in to give the
city a careful administration and is
taking time TO consider the best man
for the place, which all residents of the
city will appreciate.
