THREATENS TO

OLIVER WELLS. JR. WANTS $500 FOR
FALLING INTO sUMP DUG BY CITY.

A week ago these columns contained
an account OF Oliver Wells misfortune
In falling into sump dug by the city
along the pipe line in Maple Grove,
Mr. Wells was accompanied by his
wife who also fell into the sump.
Their clothing was TOTALLY destroyed
and the shock from the affair, Mr..
Wells claims, did Mrs. Wells much
harm. Since returning to his home at
Iron Mountain, Mr.. Wells has consult
ed attorneys and claims that he has
been advised that he has a good
damage case against the city. We
have not learned positively the
amount OF his demand but rumor
about the city makes it $500.
Mr.. Wells claims that there was no
protection placed about the sump to
warn people OF the danger and that in
not putting some warning sign there,
the city is guilty of negligence.
In conversation with one of the city
woTkmcn, whose duty IL is TO place
the warning signs about the places
where work Is being done, he informed
ms that a lantern was placed at the
spot but that someone must have
stolen It. He further states that
every night someone steals lantern
from some one OF the sumps and II Is
hard to keep them located for that
reason. The gentleman stated that a
lantern was placed at the stump COM
planned Of on the night OF the acci-
dent.
We have interviewed several OF the
city officials and every one of them
say that they are perfectly willing TO
compensate Mr.. Wells for any damage
that he has received and that there is
no necessity for his going TO attorneys
swith'the matter unless he thinks that
he has a chance TO get easy money
and such procedure will not be
countenanced for one minute.

ance Of the dead man. No more force
ful example of the old saying that
1--WE are all united in death" was ever
in evidence in the city than was
noticed upon this occasion. Differ
ences Of opinion were forgotten. The
dark spots i'm human existence were
obliterated and every man, woman
and child reiterated the sentiment.
Crystal Falls has lost a landmark:
the country a good citizen and our
people friendn.
He died at the hospital, TO which
place he was taken nearly month
ago when 1t was decided TO operate on
him. He was surrounded by his fam
lily and relatives, and his death came
as relief to them for his long suffer
ing was such as TO pain them very
much.
Mr.. Lustfield was born In Bohemia
in 1858. lie was one OF large family
of children; a thrifty, prosperous lot
and he the most successful Of all. He
got but a meager education, having to
quit school at the age Of IL years TO
earn his own living His tastes ran to
mercantile pursuits and he at once,
entered a general store to "learn" the
business. For three years he served
his apprenticeship and was elevated
TO the position Of clerk at the expira-
tion OF his term. His salary was eS-
tablished at four dollars per month
and he frequently stated that the
proudest moment Of his life was when
he drew that first months salary. At
IL he became the manager of the
store and occupied that position for
three years when he took position
as travelling salesman. He travelled
all through Hungary and did a great
deal Of corresponding for a Vienna
paper at the same time.
In 1878 he came TO America and
located first at Oconto. IL was about
the time that the Menominee range
was being opened up and he gradually
followed the advance guard until he
settled down to make Crystal Falls
his home.
Mr. Lustfield was indeed landmark
10 Crystal Falls. He came here when
the only means OF getting to the place
was over trail through the woods.
IL was In 1881, just as the mines we're
being discovered, that he started out
from Florence, Wis, one morning In
the early spring 10 seek his fortune
In the new mining camp. He walked
all day, arriving at the mining camp
late In the evening and slept In a
blanket on the floor OF partially con-
|strocted ,hpihibg. With a quick per-
etption Of The opportunities spread

OF oats in all the Northwestern
States.
All these insects lay eggs during fall
In crotches and around the buds OF
twigs and branches, the eggs being
oval In form, black and polished, and
when seen with the naked eve look
like so many "fiy specks." These eggs
hatch out early In spring. just as the
buds open up, and now Is the time TO
look out for them, for all trees require
the best OF care this spring, being
more or less weakened as yet owing TO
the unusually long winter, and il is
much easier 10 kill these insects now
than later on.
The following spraying mixture so
far as ! know has never been used
anywhere except at this Station last
summer. IL is simple, inexpensive
and harmless 10 all plants or trees.
1t Is a combination OF other mixtures,
and last summer proved more effect
i've at this Station than any others.
Heat one gallon OF water, dissolve
In IL one pound OF laundry soap, and
when it begins TO boil, pour II into
pail into which first put twelve ounces
Of tobacco stems Leave ID soak Is or
20 minutes or until cold strain
through cheese cloth into tub keg
or barrel and add seven gallons Of cold
water Remember that IL Is neces-
Sary to'hit each insect with the spray
VI ing mixture In order To kill IL. lit is
necessary therefore TO moisten every
twig and limb, but IL Is not necessary
to spray until the drops roll off. Even
with good small hand force pumps
there should be no trouble In
thoroughly spraying one Thousand
young trees In one day. Most seed
houses sell tobacco stems for about
Sl25 per 100 lbs. and most cigar
makers throw them away.
In order TO show how numerous the
eggs of these insects are laid, | have
sent TO the editor OF the Diamond
Drill q small twig from an apple tree
left untreated last ummer. Farmers
and Others who are or ought 10 be in
tereSted, and who have not observed
the habits OF these insects, should call
at the editors Office where they can
see several hundred eggs upon twigs
not more than four or live inches
long. With a magnifying glass these
eggs can OF course be better distin-
guiShed and counted.
A tree covered with as many eggs
as the one from which took these
twigs could not possibly live over a
month after the buds open up, IL left
untreated, and even II only ten out OF
every hundred eggs should hatch out.
The time to spray is now, and q
week later In order TO catch the in
sects which are slower than some
others I'm Matching out.

Second Nine Took Visitors Measure by a
Score OF 9 to 2.
The second nine OF Florence base
ball players came here last Sunday for
game and were treated To the real
thing by "Billy'' Galbraiths broncos.
The broncos took the bit in the first
inning and started TO run away at a
canter but Florence sawed them
down in the second and held them
Hat until the eighth when the boys
from the anti-Lafollett stronghold
went to pieces and allowed Crystal
Falls 70 score runs. Cutting out the
first and last innings, the game was
an exceptionally good one. Crystal
Falls played a fairly steady game.
Willie Anderson was on the slab and
had the Florence boys guessing all OF
the time, John Lind was at the re-
ceiving end and played an excellent
game. Harry Wills on second played
a game above the average. The
other boys played a steady game but
nothing worthy OF extra note.
The Florence boys played about the
same each and with more practice
will put up very fair exhibition.
The score by innings is as follows:

Prominent Men Involved by a Young
WOman's Charges.
Americus Ca, May 30.-A sensa-
tional case was entered upon in the
Superior Court to-day, when George
T. Sullivan, a well-known jeweler and
member of the City Council, was put
on trial on the charge of assault with
intent to murder. The complainant is
Miss olivia McLane, young
woman formerly employed in Sui
livans jewelry store. who alleges that
the defendant and Dr. George Barrow,
a local physician, performed a crimi-
nal operation upon her.
The defense has introduced no testi-
mony as yet, but hopes to prove that
the defendant is not guilty of the crime
charged.
Judge Littlejohn cleared the court
room of hundreds of spectators, and
the trial proceeds behind closed doors,
only attorneys and press representa-
tives being admitted.
DR.. Barrow is still in Jail for failure
to give $4,000 bond required, and his
trial will follow that of Mr.. Sullivan.
Fourteen lawyers are engaged in the
case.

WAR IN THE EAST.

From Toxic comes report that
a detachment of Japanese troops
encountered and defeated 1000 Cos
sacks on Saturday. The engage
ment lasted for an hour. the Japa-
nese losing four men killed and
twenty-eight wounded. The Russian
casualties are not reported.
No advices were received at st.
petersburg relative to Tie reported
engagement, but it was credited,
nevertheless. At st. Petersburg
they think the force may have been
that of Gen. Mistchenko. but not
that of Rennenkampff, which is re-
garded as made up of the flower of
the cavalry in the East. Should it
prove 20 have been Rennenkampff' s
the moral blow to Russia will be
severe.
Russians are making excuses for
their defeat at Kin Chou, saying
that their defense at that point was
not of a demonstrative character.
The departure of still another
army division from Japan is re-
ported.

Atlanta, May SO.--The politicians be-

There is talk Tonight among the
Parker element that favors straight
out, iron bound instructions, of holding
"a big Parker caucus tomorrow night
for the purpose of counting noses and
determining just what strength they
can command in the convention, as
well as for deciding upon favored can
didates for delegates at large to ST.
Louis. This element is led by Hoke
Smith, ]. r. Gray and others, some
of whom are yet to arrive.
Talk among the delegates who have
already arrived on the scene gives in
dications of a strong sentiment against
instructing the Georgia delegation to
st. Louis, and it is not thought much
could be accomplished by such a
Parker caucus, inasmuch as all the
Parker. men would have to be admit

of those who are here are opposed to
such instructions.

Interviews with half dozen county

FEINTS OF KUROKl
FOOLED KUR0PATKIN.

st. Petersburg, May 30.-According to
Press from high source, important
news regarding the Japanese plan of
campaign, which has reached the Rus
sian authorities since the battle of Kin
Chou, compels the conviction that the
advance of Gen. Kuroki and the activ-
ity of his army northwest and south
west of Feng Wang Cheng are parts of
we'll executed feint to prevent Gen.
Kuropatkin from detaching strong
force to hamper Gen. Okus operations
on the Lao Tung peninsula
Under cover of Gen. Kuroki's screens,
it is added, part-ef the Japanese army
landed at Taku Shan, will be moved
southwark into the peninsula, while
Kuroki attempts to make Kuropatkin
believe that he intends to force a de-
eisive engagement with him. This in
formation would tend to prove that the
primary object of the Japanese cam
paign all along has been Port Arthur,
and that once that fortress is in their
hands, unless an exceedingly favorable
opportunity offers to attack Kuropat-
kin, the Japanese plan is simply to
make their tenure secure and force the
Russian commander to assume the Of
fensive. -4
Moreover, there is information to the
effect that the Japanese propose to
storm Port Arthur with the briefest
possible delay, after having first closed
the harbor to render the egress Of the
Russian ships impossible at the last
moment, thus forcing the Russians to
destroy them without subiecting the
Japanese to the inevitable losses which
must occur if the Russian squadron
gets out for a last fight before going
to the bottom. The previous repeated
efforts of the Japanese to cork" the
harbor have been, as much with the
view to this ultimate situation as for

Rome, May SO.-The Chamber of
Deputies was crowded to-day to hear
the discussion on the Interpolation of
the attitude of the government to-
wards the Vatican protest against
President Loubet's visit.
Signor Mazza, Republican, called the
note of the Papal secretary of state,
Merry Del Val, a perfect insult. He
asked the government to take ener-
getic action to prevent the invasion
of the church into the kingdoms af-
fairs.

it braying." Gaughter).
Permier Giolitti, who rose amidst n
breathless silence, said that the Vati-
can naturally was not committed to
the Italian government. France had
answered as she thought best. The
affair was one in which Italy could not
interfere. The Vatican note contained
phrase regarding the King of Italy.
but the effect produced was such that
they must be extremely glad of the ex-
istence of that phrase, as it had offer
ed Premier Combes the opportunity to
make statement so fiattering to Ital-
ian patriotism.
The crowded galleries rose and ap-
plauded for five minutes, crying, Viva
Combes!" Signor Giolitti continued:
Therefore the unhappy phrase was
for Italy the happiest. The note con-
tained the usual protest which the
Vatican has been repeating for thirty
four years. Italy has no reason to
change her policy. She does not fear
the invasion of the congregations, as
she has laws to protect herself. II
these laws are insufficient we will make
new ones. To fear that the country
cannot protect itself against the in
fluences of foreign, congregations is
to insult Italians. The state and the
church must be as two parallel lines
which never meet. Both must enjoy
liberty. 1t will be the worse for the
church on the day that she illegally
interferes in the affairs of the state. .

ment of Japanese troops attacked and
defeated 1000 COssacks at Al Yang
Pien Men, northeast of Feng Wang
Cheng, Saturday. The engagement
began at 10:3O and ended at 1880 a.

ST. Petersburg, May 80. $40 p. m.-
There is no confirmation at the general
staff of the reported defeat of 1000
Cossacks at Al Yang Pien Men, north
of Feng Wang Cheng but the message
from Gen. Kuropatkin issued this aft
ernoon recording the Japanese advance
from Kuan Dian Slang Ckwan Tien) to
Saimatsza lends color to the Toxic re-
port in view of the fact that All Yang
Pien Men lies between the above points.
st. Petersburg, May 31.z-2:50 a. m.-
The reported defeat of the Cossacks at
Ai-Yang- -Pien-Men was the only news
and almost the only topic of conversa-
tion in St. Petersburg last night.
No official dispatches were given
out last evening, but officers at military
headquarters were reluctant to accept
the Japanese dispatches. They think
IL possible that the Japanese met Gen.
Mistchenko's command, which has re-
Gently been raiding in Korea. 1t is
formed of comparatively raw recruits,
though now some are hardened by
three months campaigning. 1t is con-
ceiVable that they might have been
defeated, but not Rennenkampff's force
patrolling the Ai-Yang region, who
are veterans of that old command
which accompanied him on the famous
ride through Manchuria. These men are
esteemed here as the hardest riders and
the most reckless fighters in the trans
Raikal army. Any disaster to them
would have a greater sentimental effect
than the more serious reverse at Kin
Chou.
Seoul, May 29, 9 a. m.-(Delayed in
transmission).-It has been reported
here that Japanese troops. after an
engagement with Russian forces, in
which the latter were defeated. have
occupied All Yang, a village to the
north of Kuan Tien Cheng. CThis lat
ter place is about forty miles to the
east of Feng Wang Cheng).
There are at present no Russians at
Ham Heung on the eastern coast of
Korea; the troops which were there
have marched to the south. The Ko-
rean soldiers who were sent to Ham
Heung have been withdrawn.
