DRUNKEN MEN CUT HIN FOR ORDER

TRAIN SERVICE RESTORED
ST. Paul viii Put on Day Runs
Again as a Result OF Officials
Visit.

City Marshall Patrick Manning
went up against an ugly bunch OF
Firms last Monday night but came
out with colorS flying although he
came near being badly cut by one fell
low who went after him with a knife.
The trouble started early In the even
ing when bunch OF five fellows start
ed out To "don the town. Mr.. Manning
smelled trouble and stayed on duty
with policeman Aeshliman the great
er part OF the night. Along late i'm
the evening five Of the providers be-
came so noisy that Mr.. Manning told
them TO go home or he would "run
them in''. They got insultingly
smart and ii looked as If they had it
made up to "lay Manning out" for
one OF them handed out righthander
that caught the marshal on the jaw
and sent him off his pins. He was up
like a cat and one swing OF his good
right arm laid his aSSailant low and
he took the crowd as they came.
Aeshliman came TO his assistance and
taking one of the fellows started off
with him to the jail while Manning
entrusted another TO John Wulf who
happened to be around. He then took
after two fellows that were running
away and overlook them They turn
ed ON him and one went at him with
knife while the other jumped on his
back The fellow with the knife
managed to make a big slash in Man
ning's coat ON the left breast The
knife just penetrated to the hide.
The fellow was getting ready to give
him a second lah when Manning by an
extra effort, disengaged himself from
the fellow on his back and struck the
knifer blow that sent him down and
ont. lie saw that the fellow was
cared for so he turned his attention

BONDS FOR ROAD
COMMISSIONERS
COUNTY BOARD DEMANDS PROTEC
TION FROM THESE OFFICERS.
COMMITTEE TO WATCH WORK
Board Appointed Three Of its Members
to Take Charge Of All >unty
Road Affairs.

The most important action taken
by the board of Supervisors at its
meeting last Tuesday was the deter
mination Of the supervisors 10 place
the county road affairs in better shape
and TO draw rein over the actions Of
the commissioners. TO this end a
committee of the board consisting OF
j. II. Gibson, c. 5. Sensiba and VIM.
Wall was appointed. This committee
will keep an eagle eye on the doings
Of the road commissioners i'm hopes Of
securing better results. Another
step taken TO draw the lines tighter
about the expenditure of county
money ON the roads was the adoption
OF resolution requiring each COM
missioner 10 furnish a bond of $4,000
within ten days.
1t must not be inferred that the
board is dissatisfied with the work be-
ing done on the roads but these pre-
cautions are taken TO safeguard the
expenditures that they intend making
in the near future and the people OF
the county must appreciate the effort
that the supervisors are making to
get results.

Agent Hastings, Of the St Paul in
forms us that the day runs on the st.
Paul will be restored again next week.
A new time card will be out on sun
day and will provide for the four
trains that were taken OF last winter
Mr.. Hastings has been working hard
to bring about this end ever since he
came here. He first got the evening
and morning run put back and his
work i'm getting the day trains put on
certainly calls for appreciation from
our people.
This decision was arrived at during
a visit here OF the high officials OF the
road last week. The matter was TAX
EN- up then and discussed in all its
features. The runs do not pay. That
much is conceded but the officials
thought 1t better to have the good
will OF Crystal Fall people than not,
even II il was financial loss in one
direction.
We believe that the st. Paul will
lose nothing by this move as the
management has shown its good Will
and our people will reciprocate.

The Baltic.
(Stambaugh.)

The prospects at this mine are the
brightest OF any in the Iron River
district. 1t is understood that the
property will be allowed 10 ship
heavily this year and that full force
will be employed. The Baltic is a
Lackawana connection and all OF the
ore from the mine is used by the
company itself Baltic is good min
ing proposition, just such as can work
in such times as these and for that
reason will be kept going.
The stripping is about completed
and the miners will soon be getting
some very cheap ore from the big
stope pillars and back Of the first
level.

Another Strike Interferes.

another strike that has put them out
OF business for time. This time IL
is the dockmen on the Northwestern
docks at EScanaba that refuse TO work
and the loading Of boats has been
stopped A few boats had been secur-
ed, enough to let the mines here ship
their daily hoist, but the action of the
dockmen compellS the suspension OF
all shipping The St Paul dockmen
had started at work and were about
half through with boqt taking To
bin ore when delegation from the
Northwestern yards marched over and
asked them TO suspend operations at
once. The men refused to stop until
they had finished loading the boat

Circuit Court.

On next Monday the circuit court
for Iron county will convene in the
court house, 1t will probably be the
shortest term ever held in the county.
There Is but one case on the docket
that is liable to come 10 trial and
there are some doubts about its being
argued Three cases, in all, appear
upon the calendar but in two of them

is non-jury trial they can't be tried

Orders were received at the
Mansfield mine ofllce last Wednesday
TO pun the pumps from the bottom and
alet the mine I'LL Go the tenth level

that orders will soon be received to
take that one out also. This course
has notbcen an unexpected one to the
people Of Mansfield FOR since the orders
TO suspend work were received IL was
thought that the great expense of
keeping the mine free Of water would
not be continued very long unless
there were prospects OF early resump-
tion of work at the property.

between the Menominee team and the
locals in which the latter simply

this attainment so that honors were
pretty much eyened up. a new
pitcher named Wilkie set himself up
on the firing line and during the first
three innings was touched up pretty
freely. A total of l3 hits were made
of him, two OF them doubles.
Menominee was lame in second garden,
the individual that did the sprinlding
there, dumping three juicy errors on
the record Otherwise they played a
pretty steady game The pitching

hits two Of them good for doubles,
Shaw was close second with four
hits, two of them doubles, Carter
made three hits, one Of them double

part of the game and about the fourth
inning he was SO heavily laden with
the packages that Crystal Falls band
ed him that retired TO rest up while,
Schilwasky, a Green Bay man took his
place. He got his share of the good
things going and was glad to lay down
his burden. The score by innings is as

THE CHICAGO HORROR.
chairman,

The most appalling holocaust
ever known in this country was
that Of the Iroquois Theatre fire
which occurred last Thursday
afternoon at a matinee perform
ance Of a spectacular play called
"Mr. Bluebeard." The list of
dead and missing foot up to near
ly eight hundred. Men, women
and children were suffOcated,
burnt Or trampled to death, or
leaped from the balconies to the
lower floor, crushing their lives
ont, furnishing a scene of horror
probably unequalled in the
worlds history. As usual, the
means supposed to be compelled
by law for escape in such emer-
gencies were either entirely
absent, ignored by the theatre
management-or else would not
work and were unavailing. The
exits were nearly all closed, and
those on the upper floors leading
to fire escapes would have been
useless, had they been opened,

Rubber on the Colorado River,

Editor Cultivator:-Will you
please tell me if the rubber of
commerce can be grown at a pro
fit on the Colorado desert when
the government puts water on
it?-J. c.. D., Grass Valley.
1t depends upon the tempera-
ture during the coolest period Of
the year. The rubber tree will
not make a thrifty growth where
the temperature falls below the
freezing point. Trees will stand
some frost after they have made
a growth of ten or more feet,
but the young trees will be kill
ed to the ground when 81 degrees
is reacded. There may be places
on the Colorado desert where
they will grow we'll. These
places cannot be located without
experience. We would look for
better success in a humid atmos-
phere as that is the sort of con-
dition under which the rubber
trees grow STANDARDIZATION

for there were no ire escapes.
An investigation has been go
ing on to try to locate the re-
sponsibility for the awful disas-
ter. But when that is done it
will not bring to life those who
died through the criminal negli-
gence of someone-no matter
who.
Chicago has city ordinances
providing for every known hu-
man safeguard in theatre fires;
yet they are thus ignored or neg
lected-and nearly one thousand
people lose their lives in conse-
'ouence. 1t is the enforce
ment of laws in this country that
leads to more trouble and disas-
ter than any other one cause.
Perhaps this great tragedy will
result in more rigid enforce
ment of laws governing the SAT

though terrible the lesson, those
helpless victims will not have
died IN vain.
