son while Mr.. Brown was on his way
from Greenland to Mass City. The
would-bc murderer fired two shots,
the first passing close 70 Mr.. Browns
head, the second entering his body
about two inches above the nipple on
the left side. The wound is not con-
sidered dangerous and the only bad
effect felt by Mr.. Brown SO far Is a
slight fever.
The story Of the shooting as told by
Mr.. Brown TO Hon. w. J. Galbraith

An aching void Is the only thing
left TO mark the once proud spirit
OF the iron Mountain base ball fan.
There was time when fame, glory,
renown, yea, even the most superla-
tive Of all OF these, pride OF power,
was his. He yaunted his lordly head
about the streets and hotel steps OF
the Mountain, dazzling all he met
with his shome made" effulgence
and sweeping with one fell stroke OF
his mighty tongue all who questioned
its supremacy. The only time he
deigned To admit OF compassion was
when some unthinking outsider dared
mention the slittle city up among the
stumps" and then he let itself out
only TO the extent OF saying "poor
Crystal Falls But "poor Crystal
Falls Is on easy street now. Its
people have all their winters coal
bought and few dollars to jingle ir
their pockets besides. Iron Mountain
money bought their coal; Iron Noun

cold winter that is to come. Yes,
Iron Mountain money is e-a-s-y. Oh

strange sorrow that he wishes now

STOCKPiLES ARE
NEARLY CLEANED UP
ANOTHER MONTH WILL SEE ALL THE
ORE ON DOCKS DISPOSED OF.
OUR REPRESENTATIVE SHOT
hon. Chas. II. Brown wayIaid and Shot
by an Unknown Man al
Greenland.

The steam shovel was taken from
the CRYSTAL Falls mine TO the Lamont
property and work started putting
the stocked ore at that property into
the cars. The big pile at the Falls
mine has all been loaded and shipped
and the shovel Is now at liberty 10
attack the Lamont pile. There are
about 30.000 tons OF ore in stock at
this property and IL is understood
that IL will all be forwarded TO the
docks before the shovel stops work.
1t will take about thirty days 10 clean
the docks there and then. II will be
in order 10 unwater the mine when
more of that ore Is needed.
The big shovel at the Tobin cleaned
up the last of the big pile on Tuesday,
with the exception OF about a day
loading which has 70 be shoveled down
from the bank To the north. After a
few days work leveling OF a high
corner In the big stocking grounds
the shovel will be placed at the small
pile ad jacent 10 the old Tobin SHAFT
and will be worked as hard as eyei
until that pile has been disposed OF
also. This pile Is not very large and
will not consume more than three
weeks time loading 1t.
The small shovel is working ener
getically at the Great Western piles
and another month will see every
pound OF ore shipped from the stock
ing ground at that property
1t is said that portion at least
of the small amount Of ore remaining
in stock at the Smith mine will bt
shipped also and it is probable that
! the docks out there Will be entirely
cleared.
When any more ore is wanted from
any OF the Corrlgan-McKinney mines
il will be necessary TO unwater and
mine and that fact is having a great
influence in keeping up the spirits o
the people Of this city.

Consequently there was plenty OF
money TO bet and plenty OF takers,
also.
The game was not as good as either
OF the first two played In Iron Noun
tain, SO far as absence of errors is
concerned, but IL was a much speedier
game especially SO far as refers 10 the
Crystal Falls in-iicld. Brice, the new
man, played second for Crystal Falls,
that is he was assigned 10 second base
but incidentally he played center,
left and right field, and first and third
base. Dinsmore, Melchlor and Olm-
stead were also In line trim and
speedy ball was the go.
Bies was on the slab and he had his
little two-wheeled cart along with
him. In the first inning he loaded
the Iron Mountain boys securely In
/ side OF the box, put the lid down and
sat on it for the balance OF the game
with the result that only three hits
were made off him and they were
scattered through nine long innin Us,
SO far apart that their elbows couldn't
touch.

made good. Henry appeared in center

Mountain but those who saw the game
say that he is not a bit better, IL, in
deed, he is as good, as Miller. lie
was easier to hit than Miller and has
but three strike-outs 10 his credit
! Nicholi, Busy and Manthey were the
only ones that connected with the
ball. Scott had an oti-day at seconC
but otherwise the Iron Mountain
fellows played their usual game.

erage cost from that line tO the age

preme lodge. on the advice of actuar-
les, selected the age Of 80 as Il proper
place, and the average cost was re-
duced TO 81. 20 per $1,000, by loading
the younger ages with higher guar
anty fund rate, which fund is used for
that purpose.
The level rate plan was also adopted
which remains stationary through life

IL was mistake. James Nelson,
tireenland's marshal. was fred upon a
short time ago by some unknown per-
son, and as Brown and Nelson had
been seen together great deal. Mr.
Brown thinks the party mistook him
for Nelson. There is not the slight

Tuesday was caucus day all over the
county and there was quite an i'm
teresting time In almost all OF the
precincts. The battle waged much
hotter on the west side than ON this
side OF the county. In Crystal Falls
township. the First ward and Hema-
tite township there were no contests
but in Mansfield there were two
delegates and In Mastodon three. In
the second and third wards OF this
city there we're three sets also.
The vote in Mansfield was as fol-

Sensiba had clear sailing, winning by a
large majority. Bates township was
won by Sensiba by l6 votes, IA surprise
to many as the township is Mr.. Waite's
home.
The result in the primaries showed
Mr.. Sensiba in command OF the situ-
alton and IL was conceded that he
had fairly won at the polls by "A fair

SENSIBA GETS
SHERIFF NOMINATION
WINS CLEAN MAJORITY or COUNTY
DELEGATES.
BYERS FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE
Convention Held at Iron River Last Thurs.
day Had Several Surprises IN il.
Ticket Gives Satisfaction.

The Republican county convention
TO nominate county officers was held
al Iron River last Thursday and while
the ticket was, In the main, for
shadowed before the meeting ot the
delegates, yet there were several sur
prIses sprung, the principal one being
the turning down OF Albert l.. Flew
elling for Judge Of Probate.
No intimation OF this move had
been given before hand. 1t had been
decided upon at meeting OF the
west side delegates held previous TO
the convention and the east side
fellows simply had to sit and take ~
as the west side had clean majority
i'm the convention.
Edward Sensiba was nominated for
sheriff ON the first ballot. This re-
suit was foreshadowed by Mr.. Sensi-
ba's handsome victory In the primar-
les held throughout the county on
Tuesday. by capturing Mastodon
and Mansfield his majority was COM
plete and he could do with the con-
vention as he desired, fixing up the
ticket i'm the way that he believed
would be the strongest both for him
self and the Republican party In the
colnty. He called caucus of his
delegates the evening before the con-
vention and the whole situation was
gone over. 1t was decided at that
meeting 10 switch Chas. H. Watson
from the prosecutors ofiice TO the
Judge OF probate and nominate Mr..
Byers for prosecutor Also TO put
Ole Lundin I'm Paul Minckler's place
for coroner and Fred Roberts for
surveyor.
There was a hitch, so far as switch
ing Mr. Watson was concerned. Sew
eral ballots were taken in which
Watson received IL votes for prosecu-
tor and Byers 8. \ recess was taken
during which time decision was ar
rived at TO leave Mr.. Watson where he
was and 10 put Byers in for Judge OF
Probate. This decision was arrived
at mainly through Mr.. Watson's an
nouncement that he couldn't accept
the nomination for Judge OF probate
without breaking his promise TO Mr..
Flewelling and he would rather be left
of the ticket altogether than break a
pledge. He had promised Mr.. Flew
elling, long before the convention,
Il. t.ttt. fAr AZ
attorney again and would support Mr..
Flewellng for Judge OF probate When
the delegates understood the situa-
tion they took Mr.. Watson at his
word and nominated him for the
prosecutors office.
q The convention was called to order
in the Iron River opera house at HOO
o'clock, VIM. II. Jobe, chairman Of
the county committee, calling the
convention TO order. The call was
read by Z. O'Brien, secretary of the

tion was effected by electing VIM. II.

nerves of the stomach, liver and bowels,
is readily cleansed of the impurities which
cause the trouble and the nourshing and
soothing effect of Nervine is allowed to do
its wonderful work of restoration without
hindrance from the complication.
