DIED WHILE
AT WORK.
Body Of L. D. Hover Found in Kneeline
Position at the Foot Of Tree which
He was About to Fell.

Monday morning the news that
the body OF man had been found
near lumber camp at Point Abbey
caused quite a little excitement for
a time until the facts were ascer-
tanned.
1t appears that Sunday afternoon
last, l.. D. Hover, lumberman, en-
ployed in LaCasse's camp, at Point
Abbey, started out for the purpose
Of cutting some trees saying as he
left, "the day is nice, and he would
rather be out at work than in the
camp"
Nothing further was thought of
the affair until supper time, and as
Hover did not return, number OF
employees went in search of the miss
ing man. AS it was known where
Hover was at work, the party went
directly to the spot. Here they
found the unfortunate fellow In a
kneeling position at the foot OF a
tree, upon which he had been work
ing, and from all appearance he had
been dead for several hours.
Watchers were placed on duty at
the scene and a messenger was
sent to notify the proper authori-
ties, upon receipt OF which the body
was brought to L A q e
Tuesday and placed in the Fire Hall
to await directions for disposal from
relatives in lower Michigan.
Wednesday morning word was re.
ceived from niece OF the deceased,
living at Coldwater, Mich, direct
ing that the body be buried here.
subject to further orders, the object
being to locate II possible brother
and sister who resides in the west.
Thursday morning the body was
taken to the Catholic cemetery,
where it was placed in the potters
field to await further orders from
the relatives.
Hover was man about 81 years OF
age, and had borne a good reputa-
tion, both as a workman and a.camp
companion, and it is hoped that his
relatives will be located and the
body given a proper burial.

FURNITURE HASN'T ARRIVED.
People Believe They
Have Been Swindled BY the Same
Book Agents Who Worked
L'Anse Last Fan.

An item recently appeared in the
Ishpeming department Of the Mar
quette Mining Journal, which is OF
nte rest to many L'Anse
people who were led into the
scheme mentioned in the article-the
book furniture deal.
1.-Two energetic young men. who
claimed to represent book concern
spent several days in Ishpeming and
neighboring towns last fall, and
landed many orders for books. with
which premium OF piece of furni-
ture was offered. Twenty-Five vol
umes were to be delivered, for each
of which a payment OF fifty cents
was to-be made. The first Install
ment was delivered in November
and the amount due collected. An
other installment was delivered in
December, when the subscribers.
were given to understand that the
furniture selected as premium would
arrive in time to make them q mice
Christmas present. 1t was an
nounced that sufficient number ol
pieces of furniture would be deliv-
cred in the first lot to fill car. In
January another insta llment .oi
books was delivered. some receiving
three, others four and a number six.
The subscribers were told that the
manufacturers were SO crowded with
business that the orders for the
furniture could not be filled for
Christmas. Several people have
paid in from SO to 80 on their con.
tracts, and others from % to s.
None of the furniture has
arrived, and very few now enter
tain the idea that they will ever re
ceive it. The books are said to be
trashy, and not worth the money
paid for them"

Full state Ticket.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE first two ses-
sions of the independence league. headed
by William Randolph Hearst, were held In
this city today the first being called 10
order in Carnegie hall at 1 o'clock In the
afternoon and the second at o'clock to-
night Temporary and permanent organiSe-
tion were perfected and amid much enthu-
siasm tonight a lengthy platform setting
forth the principles of the league was
adopted.
The convention declared positively tonight
in favor of the nomination of a full state
ticket and instructed the committee on reso-
lutons to draft suitable reply 10 w. j.
Connors and other delegates to the demo-
cratic state convention at Buffalo, Septem-
ber 25. They had presented a memorial
asking the Independence league to defer
nominating a state ticket until conference
could be held with the democrats. The con-
vention also directed the committee on res
olutions TO consider and report to the con
vention on the qualifications of candidates.
feature of the night session was a
demonstration following the mention OF Mr..
Hearst's name, which lasted half an hour.
Mr.. Hearst did not attend today's sessions.
There was much disorder in the conven-
tion tonight when a motion to adjourn until
tomorrow night after the routine business
had been completed Many of the delegates
did not want to adjourn and protested, but
amid the clamor for recognition of half a
hundred delegates the motion was finally
put before the convention at II o'clock and
was carried with n cheer
The platform sets forth the fundamental
idea of the league as independent of boss
rule or corporation control and of any party
subject to these. 1t declares for free vote
and an honest count" and demands "a re-
vision of the present dishonest and complex
election law, a simplifed ballot and law
providing for a recount in cases of fraud or
mistakes"
The recent life insurance scandals are re-
ferred to at some length, Governor Higgins
is denounced for failure to reorganize the
state insurance department and a new cleo
tion OF the insurance companies is favored
in case the present officials in the coming
election maintain control through conni-
vance OF the insurance department in un-
derhand and illegal campaigning"
District Attorney Jerome is attacked by
name as follows:
We express the disgust felt by all good
citizens over the failure Of District At
torney Jerome to prosecute criminaliy re-
gardless of their wealth or social position
those guilty of insurance frauds.
! On the subject of public ownership the
| platform says:
The Independence league believes in the
natural monopolies, Respect for local rights
and home rule should authorize the enact
ment of statute empowering all cities to
acquire and operate public necessities.

COLORADO DEMOCRATS MEET
state Convention 20 Name Ticket is
Called to order with Fight
Impending.

DENVER Sept 11.-The democratic
state convention met in Coliseum hall to-
day to nominate a full state ticket and
two justices of the supreme court When
the convention opened there seemed no
doubt that former Governor Alva Adams
of Pueblo, would be nominated for another
term as governor. although county Judge
Ben B. Lindsey of Denver was still mem
toned. ,Lindsey's friends were anxious
that Adams should accept the endorse
ment of the convention for the position
of United States sepetor, to succeed
Thomas NJ. Patterson. whose term ex-
pires next March. and pass up the COVER
norshlp to Lindsey. Senator Patterson.
whose fight against the local democratic
organization dominated by Mayor Robert
W. Spear, has won his warm supporters
from outside counties and insists that
Adams take the gubernatorial nomination
in vindication of his claim that he WAS
elected governor two years ago and was
robbed of the office.
Three contests have been filed, the most
important being from Denver county. Sen
ator Patterson heads a delegation which
is contesting the seats of the delegation
named by the regular organization on the
ground that this faction does not repre-
sent the true democracy of Denver, as
they are bound hand and foot to the local
public utility corporations.
State Senator Taylor of Glenwood
Springs. who was chosen temporary chair
man, announced that the roll call did not
contain the names of the three counties
from which contests had been filed and
asked if this met the approval of the con-
vention. Clay b. Whilford. a member of
the speer delegation. witch occupied the
seats assigned to Denver county. while the
Patterson delegation were lined up against
the wall, demanded that the Speer dele
gates be seated. For nearly hour he
stood on his feet, while jeers and cries
of sit down were hurled at him.
Finally all contests were referred TO the
committee on credentials. Each contest
ing delegation was given representation on
the different committees Recess till 7:S(
tonight
The convention reassembled at O'Clock
tonight and at once took a recess until II
o clock tomorrow morning, after the an
nouncement that the committee on creden.
tials would be unable to report on the three
contests until that time. The committed
on credentials continued its work tonight.
