Those who were under the impress
sion that Os Bruner was out of the
race for the republican nomination for
sheriff were undeceived last night
when his supporters rallied and cap
tured the caucus held by the party at
Milan for Black Hawk township. The
contest was between E. e. Reynolds

votes. The proceedings however, were
so warm that there is talk of a contest

Amusement for Children.

The fixtures for the children's amuse-
ment park. donated by Mrs. Anna Da-
Wis, have been expected for the past
three weeks, but for some reason they
have not arrived. A workman from
the factory will come to install them
and when completed the amusement
park will be of special interest to the
children. Such park is not common
outside of Chicago.
The real work Of completion and or
namentation of the park will begin next
year. Some ornamental features COM
mon to all parks will be introduced.
Special attention will be given to trees
and shruh berry.
A great deal has been said about a
cafe for Long View and the board has
selected a site for such a building. No
finer site exists in the Mississippi Val
ley. The need of cafe for rest and
refreshment was never felt as at pres
ent, and the beauty of the site selected
would induce thousands of people to
seek it for pleasure and refreshment.
Such a building cannot now be built
out of the park funds, but it is to be
hoped that during the winter some ar
rangement can be made so that this
most desirable accommodation can be
secured.

Citizens Plant Trees.

Provision viii be made this fall or
next spring for the planting of trees
and shrubs. An opportunity will be
given any citizen to plant/a tree under
the direction CT superintendent Gaet-
jer. The opportunity to plant a tree
or shrub where it may grow as thing
of beauty is something that many ap-
preciate. The park board will give
this opportunity in due time. Some
persons have already spoken for the
privilege.
The improvements will not involve
any material change in the natural ap-
pearance of the park, to avoid any ma
terial change has been always kept in
view
A nice cement walk with connecting
steps has been laid at the northeast
entrance to connect with the walk that
reaches to the upper plateau on the
east side of the park. Next year the
board expects to materially improve
this walk, making it a comfortable
walk to the upper plateau free from
loose stones.

TO BOOST VALUATIONS.
Probate Action Of State Board oi
Equalization.

A Lansing dispatch states that a
material increase in assessed valua-
tions in the state is looked for when
the board OF equalization meets
August Goth. The state tax COM
mission, in making the first assess
ment of the railroad properties
under the Galbraith law, estimated
the value of the property at an in
crease of $500, 900, 600 over the equal
ICED value of u. .578, 600. 900 in Aug.
ust, 1901 This would apparantly
indicate that the total valuation will
be boosted to near the two million
mark.
Representatives from nearly every
county 10 the state are expected to
attend the sessions, which will pro-
badly last ten days. Lower penin-
ssaa counties are expected to at
tempt to boost the equalization Of
upper peninsula counties producing
mineral wealth. Increased valua-
tions are expected in the prosper

COUNTY BOARD
MET TUESDAY.
Several Important Questions Brought
up For Consideration. Question
Of Township Division Lost.

A regular session OF the county
board of supervisors was held in
the county clerks Office in this vii
lage Tuesday, and was one of the
busiest sessions which the present
board has had since the beginning
of the year.
The first work coming before the
board was the auditing and allowing
Of large grist OF bills, OF which a
number were rejected. The reports
of the various county officers we're
read, also many questions Of gen.
eral improvements on county pro-
perty were discussed and acted
upon.
The most important subject
brought up was the disposition OF
a petition presented by twelve
freeholders of the township OF
L'Anse, praying that a certain
locality known as Herman, be de-
tached from said township OF L 'Anse
and be organized into new town
ship to be known as the township
of Herman. The matter was put
to vote, the result OF which was
three votes for the question, and
two against, but as it required a
vote Of two-thirds OF the members
of the board to carry, the motion
was declared lost.
1t Is understood, however. that
the matter will not be dropped, and
the outcome will be watched with
interest.

INJURED IN A
RUNAWAY.
Rapidly Moving Autimobile Friehtens
a Horse and Causes Serious
Accident to Mrs. Christ
WestberS.

As result of rapidly moving
automobile and frightened horse
Mrs. Christ Westberg lies at her
home on the Bay Shore road, near
this village, in critical condition.
Friday afternoon as Mrs. West.
berg was drying from her home to
this village, she was met on the
roadway opposite d. Leyitan's resi-.
dence by an automobile, owned by
James Dee, and containing a party
who were making a run from
Houghton to Skanee.
At the approach Of the steep hill
on Main street, it became necessary
TO increase the speed of the machine
to its full capacity in order to make
the grade, and when the automobile
had reached the crest of the hill it
was running at a great speed.
At this point the two vehicles met,
and before the occupants OF either
could realize the danger, the horse
became frightened and wheeled
quickly around, throwing Mrs.
Westberg to the ground. The horse
being Of a nervous disposition, be-
gan plunging and kicking viciously,
finally freeing itself from the
buggy, and went tearing along the
highway.
The automobile was brought to a
standstill and the party quickly
rushed to the aid. OF the injured
woman, and the chauffeur was i'm
mediately dispatched for physic-
ian.
Upon the arrival OF the latter it
was found that no external injuries
were visible, but as Mrs. Wcstberg
was in. great pain, it was feared that
she had received internal injuries.
She was placed in the automobile
and quickly taken to her home,
where everything possible was done
TO relieve her sufferings.
After an hour or more of careful
nursing she began to show signs Ct
improvement. The automobile
party abandoned their trip to Skanee
and returned to Houghton.
Although Mrs. Westberg suffered
greatly from the result Of the acci-
dent, it is hoped that nothing SER
ious viii develop. Her condition is
still critical.
