ment OF the Negaunee Iron
Herald Of July Doth:
1T is expected that party Of citi-
zens will go TO Baraga tomorrow 10
take up a matter which may prove
Of great advantage to Micbigamme.
There is possibility that the Mes.
tiers, The biz lumher opera' ors at
Baraya, may purchase the p. W..
Read & Co. s mill in Michigamme
and operate il, and it is for discus
sion OF this matter that the citizens
will 90 to Baraga and interview the
Nester representatives. The Michi-
CANINE people will be able to give
the Baraga men assurance that the
latter will find cordial welcome
here, that the newcomers will be
fairly dealt with in the matter OF
taxation and that the citizens will
put forth every effort to encourage
the new industry. 1t is said that
negotiations for this mill have ad-
vanced almost to the final stage,
that q price satisfactory to both par
ties has been agreed upon and that
about the only considerations yet to
be determined are those pertaining
to the operation OF the mill-the
facilities and cost Of getting the logs
to the mill and the shipping OF the
finished product. There is every
reasonable expectation, however,
that the Nesters will come here, and

STOOD GUARD OVER
AN EMPTY CAR

officer Reeves stood guard at the
door of an empty freight car all Satur-
day night at Wahiawa, thinking that
he had three Chinese fan-tan players
securely herded up within to be taken
to Honolulu. Reeves had made sue
cessful raid upon a fan-tan game that
had been running uninterruptedly in
the pineapple country for some time,
twelve Chinese being captured. Nine
of them put up ten-dollar bail apiece,
leaving Reeves with three on his
hands. These arrests were the first
made at Wahiawa for many, many
months, the district having been even
without a police officer. Consequently
there is no Jail nor lookup there.
Reeves hunted around for some place
to put his captives, stumbling about in
the dark in search of a building. Dur
ing the search he found an empty box
car on siding and promptly bundled
his men inside. Then he locked the
door and sat down on guard tc wait
until morning. But, unknown to the
officer. the car was provided with a
window, and through this the three
Chinks quietly crawled away, their es-
cape being unknown to the man on
guard until in the chilly morning he
pulled open the door to march his pris-
oners off.
