STRICKEN WITH
AROPLEXY.
Chas. Powers Dies on Colo
rado & Southern Train.

Charles Powers, a man about fifty
ears Of age. died OF apoplexy Sunday
just below the Forks of the Creek, on
the Denver bound Colorado g. Southern
passenger train. He had been in the
city Saturday and Sunday in company
with James 8. Miller, owner of the Mil
ler block, looking over mine Mr.. Miller
is interested in. He left here on the at.
ternoon train and was apparently in good
health, although complaining a day or
two before Of his heart troubling him.
When the Forks of the Creek was reach
ed, the gentleman got off the train for a
short stroll and to get some fresh air.
He was evidently stricken with an attack
while the train was being made up, as he
went into the eating house and asked
for salt a couple Of times. When the
train was about to pull out he got aboard
and entered the toilet, and while there
succumbed to apoplexy. He was almost
dead before assistance reached him, as
his friends had not missed him, suppos-
ing he was about the train somewhere.
The conductor first discovered the body
lying on the floor against the door. Pow
ers was man Of heavy build and it was
almost impossible to move him sufi-
ciently SO that the door OF the narrow
compartment could be opened in order
to raise the window on the siule. The
door was finally opened far enough so
that an arm could reach the window.
The train was stopped at Guy gulch and
the body was removed through the win.
dow and carried to the baggage car. A
physician, OF Denver, who happened to
be on the trein, was summoned, but the
man was beyond the reach OF medical
skill, having expired few moments be-
fore he was taken from the passenger
coach.
The body was brought on to Golden
and the train was held fifteen or twenty
minutes until the coroner could be To-
Gated. He came to the depot and after
making a hurried examination OF the
body, decided that it was not necessary
to hold an inquest and permitted the
corpse to be taken to Denver. Under
taker Harris was notified in Denver to
meet the train and take charge of the
body.
Charles Powers was resident of
Sharon, Pa. He mad taken trip to the
Portland exposition and was returning
home via Denver and stopped off to visit
short time with his friend, MIR. Miller.
Thinking he would like to take trip to
Central and look over the mines he &C.
companied Mr.. Miller on his visit here
Saturday. He intended to return to
Pennsylvania Sunday evening. Powers
was member OF the Masons and the
Elks. He is survived by wife. The re-
mains were shipped to Sharon for burial.

ARE KILLING DEER.
Lumber Companies Employ Men
for the Purpose - Startling
Assertions Made by Game
Warden Cbapman.

| Lumbermen are killing the deer o
the upper peninsula in large qusnti
ties and the inroads made on tn,
antlered tribe from this cause are a
great as the destruction by the band,
of wolves that roam the woods OF th,
Lake Superior country. Such is the
belief OF State Game and Fish War
den Charles H. Chapman.
Mr.. Chapman says that q large
number OF lumbermen kill deer 10 .
systematic manner, and many camps
where hundred or more men are
employed, keep q man busy killing
the animals throughout the winter
season. Unless this practice can be
Estopped the great hunting region
north of the straits OF Mackinaw will
scon be divested of it's population oi
deer.
While there are many lumbermen
who do not countenance any such
work on the part of their men, there
are others who make 1t q point to
secure their entire meat supply by
this method. Many hundreds OF
dollars are thus saved in o season,
and while the law is violated 10 q
Wholesale manner, it is extremely
hard to convict the guilty persons,
from the fact that whenever lum-
herman is sarrested he enters the claim
that be knew nothing about the kill
ing OF deer and lays the blame on the
camp cook.
Under the law as it Is today, the
average punishment for such Of
fenses is q 6ne OF $50. Up to the
present time, no lumberman or lum-
berman's s cook has ever been sent to
prison for violating the game laws.
In case q timber operator is con-
victed, he is money ahead after pay
ing the fine, as he has saved much
more because OF not having to buy
meat for the camps.
Game Warden Chapman favors q
law that will make the minimum
punishment ninety days in Jail. II
such law is passed, he believes the
wealthy lumbermen will stop their
work of slaughter, for no man OF
high standing in business circles
would care to 60 to Jail for such an
offense.
A systematic effort to catch these

BASKET BALL.
L'Anse High School Team De-
featcd by the Calumet Highs
Last Evening.

Last evening occurred the first
basket ball game played between
L'Anse and an outside team. The
Calumet High School was the oppo
nent, and the game was won by
them by the decisive score of % to 8.
The playing Of the game was mu, b
more interesting than the score
would indicate, the chief superiority
OF Calumet being in their basket
throwing.
Calumet won the toss and chose
the south basket and the game was
called at 1886. 1t took three min
utes of playing for Calumet to place
the ball in the basket for the first
score. and it was quickly followed by
another. L'Anse then took hand
and made one. Others were added
alternately and the play was remark
ably even and close during the en-.
tire first half, which ended with the
score OF Is to 8.
In the second half Calumet seemed
as fresh as at first, while the L'Anse
boys we're visibly slower. Thirteen
scores were made during the1sec
ond half by Calumet, while owing
more to nervousness than anything
else, the L'Anse boys failed to add
but one.
The game was fine exhibition,
and was marked by the best OF feel
ing on both sides. but few fouls be
ing committed, and they being
unintentionsl. The Calumet boys
are gentlematly lot, and we hope
TO see them again.
A return game will be played al
Calumet 10 the near future.

can State Convention to be held q,
Grand Rapids, February l4,h. and
two delegates to attend the Twelfth
Judicial District Convention to b,
held In Hancock today.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after 2 O'Clock by Fred. W.
Schwalm. chairman OF the Rrpubli
can county committee Upon INC
tiOn, Mr.. Schwalm was chosen TEN
porary chairman. w L. Mason,
secretary, and james Mcmahon and
Charles Rambaud, tellers.
Upon motion. the chairman ap
pointed the following committees:

ported the following-na named delegates

L'Anse Precinct, No 2-Was not
represented. Also, Arvon. Coving-
ton and Spur townships, sent no
representatives.
The committee on order of busi-
ness recommended that the tempo
rary organization be made perma-
nent, and also offered the following
resolution:
RESOLVED. That the delegates to
the Twelfth Judicial Convention, to
be held in Hancock, February 4th,
be instructed to exert their best
efforts for the nomination of Hon. A.
T. Streeter for circuit Judge.
The question was then brought up
regarding the number OF delegates
L'Anse Precinct, No. /. was entitled
to. Under the call. L'Anse town.
ship was given fiye delegates, which
would be right, taking the total vote
of the township at the last election,
as a basis. But on the other hand
taking the vote by each precinct
would make it appear different, ant
it was claimed by the L'Anse delega
tion that the total number should hs
six, instead OF five. Under the vote
by precincts, Precinct No. l would
be entitled to four delegates, ant
Precinct No 2, Pequaming, to two
delegates. Considerable discussion
was bad on the subject, and by 6
vote Of 6 to 4 the motion to ado
another delegate was lost.

L'Anse High School Team Won.
hsst Saturday afternoon the
L'Anse High School Hockey team
defeated the team OF the Baraga
High School by a score Of 6 to ..
The rink, which has been main
tained by the young people OF the
village this winter, was the scene OF
the first hockey game that has been
played in this Village this winter,
and although the game was not quito
up to the standard set by the Calu-
met and Portage Lake teams, still
much can be said 10 favor of the
playing on both sides.
Throughout the game, which was
clean, there was the best of good
feeling. and though three mea

way, is q vast Improvement on .
bench for cooling of over-heated
tempers-it was for minor offences.
The first half was all in Baraga's
favor, the score at the end Of that
time being 3 to in their favor. 10
must be said that their work was
superior 10 every way to the homo
team.
In the second half they tied, ana ia
their efforts to break up the combi-
nations OF the L'Anse boys they dis.
organized their own attack till they
were well nigh helpless. The de-
tense of their goal was the feature
OF their side, they having their point
playing just in front of the goal.
made it exceedingly difficult to put
the rubber between the posts.
For L'Anse, the second half was
great improvement over the first.
they played more as team and got
their combinations off in good shape.
Gordon Haughens, on right wing,
was the star for his side, he shooting
three out OF the six goals scored by
L'Anse.
