Discovers Iron.

Christ Field, a farmer living
six miles south of the town of
Iron River, has discovered what
he considers a valuable find of
iron ore on his land, and as soon
as he can enlist sufficient capital
expects to make further investi-
cations of the find. Mr.. Field
discovered the ore while excava-
ting for cellar under his house.
Since that he has dug holes in
numerous places about the farm
and has found ore in large guam
titles. Some Of the samples he
has had examined and they have
shown up well. Mining men
who have visited the land are of
the opinion that the ore is TO be
found in paying quantities. It
may develop that we will have an
iron mine IN the county before
long. There are many people
who have always been of the
opinion that there was iron to be
found somewhere in this locality
but no one seemed to care to go
go to the expense of making the
investigation.

Interesting Case Decided in his
Behalf.
Question of Occupancy of
Peterson and Hanson
Building.

Circuit Judge John K. Parish
has recently filed a Memoranda
of Judgment, which contain the
findings in the now famous case
Of Peterson g. Hanson VS. B.
Ungrodt which was tried at the
May 1908 term of the Circuit
Court. The Court finds for the
Defendant B. Ungrodt. The out
come of the case was watched
with interest by all businessmen,
for the reason that the parties
were so we'll known in this city.
This history of the case in brief
was this: B. Ungrodt promised
to purchase business building
owned by the defendants Peter
son & Hanson. The details of
the deal were talked over and
the Plaintiffs removed one of the
sheds from the rear of the build
ings with view to tearing down
all CT the buildings and to re-
place it with new one. The
deal was finally declared off and
Plaintiffs started an action to
compel the defendants to pay for
the property. The case was
tried and attorneys ordered to
submit briefs: The court holds
that the defendants never had
possession, and that no contract
was entered into, but it is fur,
ther intimated that the defend
ants have cause of action for
actual damages done in removing
the sheds from the property.
