But Father Got a Bad scare
Thrown into Him
Frank Ball, a Plook miner at the
Tobin mine. met with an accident that
nearly cost him an eye last Sunday.
He had part OF box of exploders
about the house and feared that the
children might get hold OF them and
get hurt so he took them out back OF
his house to destroy them.
He attached one TO fuse and lit the
fuse. Ball says that be never saw
fuse burn as that fuse burned. II
burned 80 quickly that before he re-
moved himself from the vicinity of the
box the charge went of. One Of the
caps hit him in the eye inficting q bad
wound that may cost him the sight of
the eye. His face and hands were
blown full OF powder and sand

TO HAVE BASE BALL
Crystal Falls wa Have swdreaun Again
This Year

MS Year
Crystal Fails is TO have base ball
team. That much was decided at a
meeting held at the fire hail last Tues
day evening It will not be as swift a
team as we have had but it will be able
TO hold mp itsend with the best Of them
in the peninsula.
The meeting was held in response TO
general invitation and about thirty
responded. The meeting organized by
electing DIR. A. NJ. Darling chairman
and Sam Bridges secretary. Views
were then exchanged upon tho advisi
bility of organizing team and all
present seemed to be in favor of 1t. IA
most Of the speakers stated, the times
are pretty slow and there will he no
amusemant for the people here this
summer unless there is some base ball
and this thought WAS mainly respon-
sible for the effort that is being put
forth b. get team started.
An association was organized with
the following officers
President DIR. A. M. Darlirt4
Secretary-Sam Bridges.
Treasurer and manager-Jas r. Cor

A subscription paper was circulated
among those present and the sum OF
&i90 aised.
The president and secretary we're
instructed ~ appoint soliciting com

intention 10 get two or three good out
side men 10 work with the local talent
We have nearly full team among the
home boys and with q few men more
whe can put very strong team In the
field.
A base ball team this year will be q
better proposition than ever as there Is

NAMED DATA COUNCIL MEETING HELD
MONDAY EVENING
BUILDING COMMISSION APPOINTED
Will Have the Inspection Of All Buildings
Erected in the City and Regulate
Fire Escapes

j. o. Wilkinson was appointed city
assessor at a special meeting of the city
council held last Monday evening This
was the only appointment made and
the reason for making IL so early was
TO give the assessor time ot get at
work at once upon the roll.
Mr.. Wilkinson has been assessor for
three terms and understands the work
thoroughly.
II seems that the appointment Of Mr..
Wilkinson was not entirely harmonious.
J. f. Udd was candidate for the
position and. II is claimed. had the
promise of the appointment. When
the matter came up Mayor Webb sub
mitted the name OF Mr.. Udd TO the
council but no one seemed to take to
the suggestion enough 10 make motion
TO confirm.
After a short wait IL was suggested
that secret ballot be taken which was
done and six votes came out with Mr..
Wilkinson's name thereon.
Mayor Webb then appointed Mr..
Wilkinson and the appointment was
confirmed.
A new commisson was appointed TO
have the inspection of public and other
buildings erected and now standing
within the city limits. The purpose of
this commission is to provide for public
safety, especially in the matter OF tire
escapes.
The matter came mp through the
agitation TO have better hre protection
at the old central building.
The commission consists of J. f.
udd. ID. M. Ross and Andrew Nelson.
The commission will probably begin it's
work at once and cause suitable fire
protection and means Of escape TO be
affixed to all buildings that ere used
for public purposes.
Two liquor bonds were presented and
passed upon. those Of N. warshawsky
and Ed. DeLorme. There will be
special meeting of the council on the
29th to take care Of the big bunch of
bonds that will be presented between
now and that time.
Robert ..Munns resigned his position
as collector and VIM. j. Gribble WAS
appointed TO succeed hin. This puts
the.entire work of the clerk Office in
Mr.. Gribble's hands ana makes II an
object for a man TO put Ia his time
there as the clerkship alone does not
pay sufficient salary.to allow Of mans
spending his entire time at the Office

A visit to the South Dunn location
last Thursday found Captain McDer-
mott on the job and hustling things.
Mr.. McDermott has made excellent
progress with the work. He began at
the property about Christmas time and
since then has equipped the property
with pair of locomotive boilers. a
small hoist and ten-drili compressor /;
has sunk the shaft dIstanoe'ofis0:feet,
and cross cutted distance Of l52 feet
all with force OF "a men.
The exploration Is well fixed for tenn
porary quarters, a small dry. a shop,
an engine and boiler house and an
Office. all of size to provide plenty Of
space during the exploratory stage.

and has encountered the ore. as can
plainly be seen by the dump. Just
what the grade of the stuff is is rot
given out but il is fairly clean. al
though the operators don't expect TO
cut the main oIe body for some dis
tance yet.
Taken as whole. the South Dunn
LOOKS more promising than any of the
explorations about here.
The. e.South Dunn is the first success
scored by the Buffalo q Sus1uehsnna
company in this district and II it pans
out as 1t promises to atlpresent. this
concern will undoubtedly do much more

500 QUESTION SETTLED
United States Supreme Court Handed
Down its Decision

United States Supreme Court Handec
Down its Decision
The U. s. Supreme court handed
down decision last Monday that
greatly affects Sault Ste Marie and
ends ten years struggle overt water
power in the st. Mary's river.
The two power companies, the Chan
dler- Dunbar and Lake Superior com
pany have been fighting this question
through the courts tor ten years and
the litigation greatly retarded the
growth OF business at the 500. IL is
thought tnat the decision will bring
about settlement between the two
companies and at the same time allow
the government improvements to the
river, which are to involve an expen-
diture OF SO. 900, 600 to proceed.
In its decision. the United States su-
preme court affirmed the ruling of the
federal court for the Sixth circuit,
whose opinion was favorable 10 the
Chandler Dunbar Water power company.
A Washington dispatch thus tells of the
case The company claimed through a
grant made by the government in 1888
TO one Chandler tract of land lying
along the ST. Mary's and opposite is
lands. known as Nos. and 9. in that
stream. The islands themselves are
Insignificant, being nothing but barren
rocks of small surface. but there Is a
rapid fall of the stream at this point
and sharp rivalry between two power
companies for their possession has
developed.
The Michigan Lake Superior com
pany originally began the proceeding
in an effort to control the stream and
the government was drawn into the
case through that company's allega-
tions that the Chandler company was
not In legal possession of the stream
The suit was brought by the govern.
ment to quiet its title It was con-
ended on behalf of the government that
the ownership OF the mainland did not
carry with IL title to the bed of the
stream and the islands lying between IL
and the thread CT the stream and as IL
was alleged that the assertion OF pri-
vate ownership would not only interfere
with commerce, but might affect
Great Britian's rights. because this is
a boundary stream between the United
States and Canada, the government
sought to obtain ruling against Chan.
dler's rights on the island. The court
OF appeals. however. held against the
government on all these contentious and
the supreme court has now accepted
the case
Justice Holmes did not discuss the
question as 10 whether the rights OF
Great Britain were involved, but held
that the Michigan law granting the
beds of streams with contiguous lands
controls in the case. The water rights
involved are very valuable and impor-
tant legislation by congress has been
waiting for some time on the deciNon
OF this case
