tree. catching and squeezing Stowell
so as to cause his death. He was
pinned between the tree and the
wagon when found and was cold In
death.
The two companions started for
Crystal Falls at once and informed
the officials who started an inquiry.
Coroner Dawson and jury visited
the scene yesterday forenoon and
viewed the body.
Stowell was not a bad character at
all and when seen yesterday afternoon
was sober and IL Is said that he was
not drunk and has never drank to
excess. 1t is sad affair all
around and, we hope, a lesson to those
who were with hin.

There is not thing new 20 report
from the several properties about here
and IL Is not likely that anything
stirring will be i'm order until the ship
ping season Is over when our people
are liable TO be treated TO some pleas
ant surprises.
THE GREAT WESTERN.
The big pile OF basic ore is about
loaded, the shovel having about two
weeks more work upon 10. After com
pleting this pile IL will be moved to
the Lincoln and No. piles and they,
TO, will be shipped. This will clear
the docks at the Great Western and
pave the way for the re-opening Of the
property.
CRYSTAL FALLS.
The shovel Is making heavy inroads
upon the big Fiat iron" pile that
capped the top Of the hill at this
mine and already great diminution
is noticeable. The operators are
hurrying to get all Of the ore in the
pile away before the close OF naviga-
ton and it will take them all of their
time. The mine is being worked To
its capacity at the same time.
LAMONT
There is some talk on the streets
about the shipping OF the stockpile at
this property before fall. Nothing
official has been learned but it Is like
ly TO go.
ARMENIA.
There is a prospect OF some of the
ore In the stockpile at this property
being shipped before the season is
over. There are about $4,000 tons in
stock.
MANSFIELD.
Outside of some oyerhauling OF
pumping machinery there is absolute
ly nothing doing at this property and
IL is not likely that any OF the ore Will
be shipped this season.
TOBTN.
There is big hustle at this proper
ty and about 1000 tons per day are
being forwarded from mine and stock
pile. The shovel has been worked
overtime, Sundays and every other
spare minute SO as TO get the ore
away.
BRISTOL.
Outside OF a small shipment nothing
new has developed at this mine. The
work OF sinking and developing is con-
timed with about n half crew.

know what happened from the time
they got started until Carlson awoke
from drunken sleep early In the
morning and found that they were

Locals Had Little Difficulty in Winning Both
Games.


The local team showed wonderful
reversal of form at Escanaba last
Saturday from that exhibited in the
''coon" game here on Friday They
won both games from the Iron Port
boys without exertion. Toe team was
badly crippled. Nemacheck was un-
able To pitch and Bies ofiiciated in
both games but the winning was not
left TO the pitcher. The tielders play
ed wonderful ball and In the Sunday
game but two errors were made.
Hastings played a game that hasn't
been excelled anywhere in the penin-
sula this year. Ball was hurt i'm the
Saturday game, his shoulder being
dislocated in slide to second I'm the
sixth inning. He played right through
the game, though, but was unable TO
move his arm that night and had TO
undergo surgical treatment. All OF
the boys played bail and deserve praise
for their work. Nemacheck played a
particularly fast game at short on
Sunday, Densmore catching and
Hoover going TO second.
The score of the Saturday game was
10 to and OF the Sunday game to /.

FANTASTIC CELEBRATIONS

hysteries and Moralities At Christ
mas In Middle Ages.
During the middle ages Christmas
was celebrated by the gay fastastic
spectacle Of dramatic mysteries anu
moralities given by personages in gro
tesQue masks and singular costumes.
The scenery usually represented an in
FAINT in cradle surrounded by the Vir-
gin Mary and st. Joseph, bulls heads,
cherubs, eastern magi anu many orna-
ments.
Then there were the Christmas car
OILS or some which recalled the songs of
the shepherds at the Nativity. These
songs were attended by dances to the
rhythm Of the various musical instru-
ments. Everybody joined this merry
making, and the wild music and sing
ing were kept up the ivelong night.
Of these ancient Christmas carols but
few have been preserved to us. Thefore-
going seemed to be the custom of all
Christian nations during the middle
ages.
In Italy it was the custom of the
Calabrian Ministries to descend from
the mountains and discourse their wild
music before the shrine of the Virgin
Mary. In England and on the CONT
nent the bells are still rung at mid
night. Among other revels of the
Christmas season were the so called
feasts Of fools and asses, in which ev-
erything serious was burlesqued, in
feriors dressed up as their superiors
and great men becoming playful, the
whole showing the proneness Of man
to reverse the order of society and to
ridicule it's decencies.
In England Christmas is term at
once for a religious and merrymaking
festival for every rank and age, the
festivities commencing on Christmas
eve and lasting till Candlenas, and ev-
cry day being holiday till Twelfth
Night Gan. 81. In the houses of no.
bles a ''lord of misrule" formerly was
appointed, whose duty it was to pro-
vide the rarest amusement and whose
rule lasted from All Hallow eve
till Candlemas. They lived on the To-:
of the land. and all of the tenants were
invite. il to share the general fun and
merry ;nak:nt Houston Post. -l....~.
