The Mesaba range towns were par
ticularly active last week in making
business for the undertakers. The
death harvest was truly appalling. A
Hibbing man threw himself under a
moving train and was instantly killed.
A baby was found dead in bed at the
Stevenson mine location. A Finn
was run down by an engine and in
stantly killed at the Mitchell mine
near Hibbing. Six men were killed
by an explosion of dynamite at the
Mohawk mine near Aurora. A young
man was shocked to death by a live
wire at Virginia in the basement OF

Four men were killed and one injured
at the Fayal at Eveleth and one man

The sun rose on schedule time We'd
nesday and strange to say stayed up
all day. However, long before the
sun put in an appearance, in fact at
daylight. the incessant boom OF the
guns and cannon crackers had awaken
ed the larger part of the people of
Ely, especially the youngsters, and at
$50 o'clock when the band came out
to raise the flag on the city hall staff,
the streets were alive with people in
tent on putting in every minute of
the day in celebrating the both an
niversary of this nations birth.
The band played National airs on
various corners of the city streets un-
til nearly o'clock. The musical
organization as shown on the Fourth
had somewhat of history. The City
Band having been engaged for the
Fall Lake celebration it was up to
the committee to secure the Austrian
band. No satisfactory arrangements
could be made with them and it look
ed very much as if the city was to go
without music. Outside bands could
not be secured at this late hour. Tile
Austrian band was again appealed to
but with the result that every time
they were spoken to their member
ship was decreased and the price in
creased. The committee could not
see it that way and fully decided to
dispense with music.

The five cars were the first pulled
out of the pit on that night and were
left standing on the track which runs
into the pit. The pit is more than IS
deep and it is estimated that the cars
attained speed of 100 miles an hour.
AS the cars speed along one OF the

when, the next instant, they shot
past him like flash with no one
aboard to check them. At the end Of

pleasant events for many years and

even walk swiftly over the course was
awarded prize.

ion, Notwithstanding the large amount
of powder burned. On the night of
the Sd, Ed. Hays was shot in the
fleshy part of the leg with blank

painful it is not supposed to be
dangerous. A few burned fingers
aud sore feet are about the only all

the evening brought out a large
crowd which enjoyed itself until early
yesterday morning. Music was fur
nished by Wagner's Orchestra and
the same was pronounced excellent.
