full enough TO offset the destruction
wrought by Lepper's bullet. That man
did not live long enough to realize the
extent of his assault, perhaps believ,
ing that he had killed Judge Bramel on
the spot.
Funeral on Tuesday.
Funeral services will be held at the
Presbyterian church on Tuesday after
noon, at 2:30 o'clock, by Rev. A. c.
Hogbin, pastor of the church, the SER
vices at the grave being by the Ma
sons. Judge Bramel was for many
years a member of Laramie lodge, Ma,
sons, and Lebanon chapter, Royal Area.
The two bodies will meet III special ses-
sion tomorrow INC attend in a body.
The deceased was not a member of
any other secret society. The remains
were taken in charge by Undertaken
Stryker soon after the announcement
of the death of Mr.. Bramel, and the
body will be taken to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. B. c. Bramel, at 352 north
Fourth street, from whence it will be
conveyed to the church at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. The Masons win
appoint the p%allbearers at the special
meeting to be held for that purpose.
Daughter May Not Come.
1t is feared that Mrs. Annie Bramel
Mckee will not be able to be present
at the funeral. She is now in Califor.
mia and has been too ill herself to
stand the fatigues of the journey. Bert
Bramel, the only son, and family will
be present. Judge Bramel had ne

dance, and they have been notified, al
though it seems now that neither can
be present.

and after the bonfire there are roast
potatoes from the embers and finally
sandwiches, cookies, candy and hot
chocolate. Every boy has to promise

Pudding AT
THE MILLS
FURNACE AND SQUEEZER START.
ED UP THIS MORNING WITH
FULL FORCE OF MEN.
Small Iron Not Easily. Handled in Any
Other Way Converted Into Bars of
Suitable Size for the Rolls-Cutput
Enlarged by Use of This Appii-
anoe-Railroad Notes.

The pudding urnace and squeezer
at the rolling mills were started up
this morning with a full crew of men
and the squeezer is turning out
balls as they are called, at the rate
of about 400 pounds every twelve or
fifteen minutes. These are compressed
by the squeezer into small shape, and
the balls are then carried to the rolls,
where they are converted into break
down to be used in the regular fur
naces. The furnace is in charge of
James Lynch and j.. L. Hopkins, with
Thomas Lynch and Oscar Strom as
helpers.
Rolled Into Solid Ball.
The pudding furnace handles all
the small scrap iron about the mill.
there being several hundred tons on
hand. This includes the turnings from
the roll lathes, the small particles
from the nut machines, the bolts and
nuts picked up off the right of way
of the railroad and all the other ma
terial of ike nature. This is heated
to a plastic stage and rolled into a
solid ball in the furnace. From there
it is taken to a squeeZer in masses VI
about 200 pounds and rolled between
the jaws of that monstrous machine
into a more compact mass, about eight
! cen inches long and six inches in d.
ameter. Before being allowed to cool
it is carried to the rolls and rolled
into a fiat bar about one inch thick
and six inches wide. This bar is cut
into convenient lengths and forms the
sides of the piles used in the fur
naces and afterwards converted into
merchant iron of various sizes.
Doing Double Duty.
The bar MILL this morning was roll
ing tie plate in n set of rolls and this
breakdown from the squeezer in an,
other set, all driven by the same en-
CINE. The pudding furnace is expect
| ed to greatly increase the output of the
mill, as there is a large amount of
small stuff on hand and the furnace
and squeezer are working to the en-
tire satisfaction of Manager Jacobus
and the mill men.
Looking for Another Heater.
Only n furnace is running on the
merchant mill, but Mr.. Jacobus is now
corresponding with a second heater
for that furnace, and when he comes
the mill will be run to its full capacity.
There is a scarcity of labor in every
department of the mill, with rush or
ders for large amounts of material.
In Charge Of Roll Room.
Ed Gould is now in charge of the
roll turning room. Joe Scholl having
resigned and left the city. He Is a
frst-class workman and will remain
here for the present.
Thomas j. Cush, a catcher at the
bar mill, was treated Saturday after
noon by DR.. Stevens for a burn of the
top of the left foot from a flash"
from a mass of hot iron, his left arm
and hand being also burned consid-
