SUES FOR DEATH OF ONLY son
mikelo Beaic Wants S., 600 From the
Oliver lroa MINING Company.

Through his attorney, Alexander
Marshall, Mikelo Begic has this
week filed notice of a suit in the
sum of 5000 damages for the death
of his son, Louis Begic, who was
killed at the Higgins mine of the
defendant company on May Is, 1905.
The complaint alleges that Begic,
while employed by Oliver Mining
company, endeavored, with a num-
Der of fellow workmen, to cut some
steel rails with a cold chisel and
that, in the operation, while one of
the rails was being thrown violent
ly upon another for the purpose of
breaking it, an end flew up and
Fatruck him in the head. The injur-
ed man died shortly after the acci-
dent, leaving a father and mother
whom the administrator declares
were wholly dependent upon him
for support.

His Conscience Smote Him.

Bernard Springer,a Detroit youth
who was formerly employed at the
Gilbert mine near Sparta, walked
into the Duluth police station Sat-
urday evening and confessed to the
passing of two forged checks, one
for $50 and one for $45, at Biwa blk
on December 18th.
His act, together with the thought
that he was followed and sought by
the police, 80 preyed upon his mind
that he gave himself up and made
a full confession. The lure of fast
life led to his downfall.
