REMOVE THE WEEDS.
State Law Provides For Their
Destruction.

Every citizen should take pride in
keeping the village free from noxious
weeds, which should receive special
attention at this season OF the year,
when they are just going to seed.
In various spots OF the village at the
present time are Canada thistles and
other useless and unsightly weeds
going to maturity These should at
once be cut downand destroyed, and
the failure to do so makes the owner
or occupant OF the premises on which
the weeds grow liable for the ex-
pense incurred by the commissioner
in cutting down such weeds. In case
the property holder refuses to pay
such damages, the law provides that
the supervisor shall assess the
charges against the land and shall
return this special tax in the same
manner that other taxes are levied
or collected

Representative Convention.

other column, the Republican repre-
sentative convention for the counties
of Baraga, Iron, Keweenaw and On
tonagon, has been called to meet
10 Baraga, Wednesday, September
l4th. The convention promises to
be an interesting one, as there are
three candidates in the field-one
from Baraga, Iron and Ontonagon
counties = with Keweenaw to be
heard from.
Baraga county was honored with
the Office OF representative about
twenty-four years ago, since which
time no effort or claim has been
made for the Office. However, II
seems to be the sentiment that
Baraga county is now justly entitled
to recognition, and one Of her we'll
known citizens is in the field
No doubt the convention will look
at the matter in the right light, and
award the plum to Baraga county.

HIS LIFE ATTEMPTED.

Charles H. Brown, of Greenland

this district, was shot at and wounded
in the left breast on Saturday even.
ing while on his way from Greenland
to Mass City. The shooting oc'
Cured about $50 o'clock In very
unfrequented part Of the road. Mr..
Brown stated at his home in Green
land the following morniag that the
first intimation he had OF his life
being threatened was when be heard
q bullet pass dangerously near his
left ear. This shot was followed by
q second, in close succession to the
first. This time the bullet lodged In
his left breast, about two inches
from the lung, where it was en-
bedded in the muscles.
The shooting was at so close a
range that Mr.. Browns coat was
singed. The bullet passed through
his coat, vest and braces, and pen
etrated the flesh for several inches.
Judging from the size OF the wound,
it is presumed that the bullet fired
was from a 38-caliber revolver.
After the shooting, Mr.. Brown
walked to bis home, which he reached
in very exhausted state. He is
unable to give any clue as to who did
the shooting, and the whole affair is
shrouded in mystery. 1t was not
known that he had any deadly enc.
mics, and he has travelled the same
road many times before unmolested.
The road at the point where Mr..
Brown was shot is covered with
dense underbrush, and an assailant
has all the chance in the world to
avoid recognition. The shooting
has caused quite q commotion In the
quiet little town OF Greenland. Mr..
Brown is resting easily, and no per-
manent i'll effects are expected to
result from the shooting.

'COW-BELL NUISANCE
The New Ordinance Which Went
Into Effect Few Days Ago
Seems to be a Farce.

At a meeting of the village council
held July 26th, in response to a petit
tion signed by many residents, the
following ordinance was drafted and
published for three weeks: -,
VILLAGE ORDINANCE.
No. "a.
The Village OF L'Anse ordains that
it shall not be lawful for any person
to permit or allow any COW wearing
or carrying a cow-bell, to roam at
large in any street, alley or public
place within the village limits.
\, Any person convicted of viola
tion OF this ordinance shall be pun
ished by fine OF not less than two
dollars and not more than ten dol
lars, together with the costs of prose-
cution.
This ordinance shall take effect
twenty days from this 26th day Of
July, A. d. 1904.
PHILIP VoETscH, President.
G. D. SHEA, Clerk.
The new ordinance went into effect
the 10Th of this month. On, or be-
fore that date, many owners of cows
removed the obnoxious musical in
struments," but others failed to do
so, and it is understood that they
defy the ordinance.
The village, apparently, is in a
queer predicament, as it has no at
torney (as has heretofore been the
CASEY to prosecute q violation OF the
ordinance in question, or for that
matter any other local ordinance.
Neither has the village any regular
marshal, poundmaster, or health
officer.
Such state OF affairs has not ex-
listed in L 'Anse before, to our knowl-
edge, and why it is SO is conun-
drum.
