Not only this, but there has been very
decent buying right along
The buying has been so regular and
so steady that there has been nothing
worthy of much comment about it, but
all furnaces have had good new BUSH
ness at the top prices. This week the
sales made have been considerably larger
than any previous week In the month.
Most of the orders call for quick ship
ment In the majority of cases buyers
are needing the iron In a hurry. Some
little iron has been sold for delivery over
the third and fourth quarters of the
year, and a good part of the inquiries
which are now under negotiation are
for long forward delivery. This fact is
suggestive.
The coke market has been restless and
excited because of the possibility of a
coal strike But as this thing has been
going on steadily for about month 1t
is beginning to be the normal condition
of the coke market.
On the whole, the developments of this
week In the pig iron market have been
distinctly on the right side.

FIGHT OVER LOGGING CAllP.
Between Lumberjacks and Farmers Il
Deer Lake Settlement, 8

Deer Lake Settlement. s.
Deer River, Mimi, Jan. 15.-Deer.
Lake settlement people are all astir
over q bloody encounter which took
place ten miles. north Of here The
fight was the result Of dispute over
the possession Of a logging road. Whip
stocks, axes and revolvers were used,
and as a result Levi Prahovost and Joe
Jam are suffering from severe in
juries, the latter having been struck
over the head with an ak.
The battle was the outcome OF a
fued of long standing between H.
Pranovost, formerly OF Two Harbofs,
who is operating on a five-mile stretch
of logging road to the Minneapolis &
Rainy River railway at Deer and
Moose lakes, and number of settlers
in the vicinity
The details of the encounter, as re-
lated by participants, is that five or
six years ago settlers originally cut
the disputed road and have used and
improved 1t every winter since. This,
season H. Pranovost widened it for
his sleighs, which are Of greater width
than those used by the settlers. 1t is
alleged Pranovost insisted that the
settlers remodel their conveyances to
conform to his sleigh ruts, and the
farmers refused. A week ago, it is
alleged. a crew from Pranovost's camp
halted Claude Johnson, threw off his
load and made him return home with
his team. This enraged the Johnson
family and they proposed to prevent
another such occurrence by, sending
two armed men with axes with each
load. They also consulted local at
tolneys and the county attorney.
Two of Pranovost's men on Tuesday,
while driving an empty water tank,
met the Johnson boys at turnout
place. The latter turned out and gave
the tank the use of the regular rut,
Instead of turning out, it is alleged
the Pranovosts adopted antagonistic
tactics and the fight ensued.
Though it is thought none of the in
juries will prove fatal, Joseph Jam,
who was struck on the head with an
AK, will not be able to work for some
time He is not in dangerous con-
dition, however. The men are all bad
