A LUCKY ACCIDENT
Wreck OF Amasa Train Was a Bad One
But No one Hurt.

Wreck Of Amasa Train Was a Bad One
But No one Hurt.
The Amasa train was wrecked on It's
return trip last Wednesday afternoon
just south Of the high trestle over
Holmes creek. The wreck was as bad
sample as has ever been seen in this
locality bat the passengers came out OF
it with no serious hurt
The train consisted OF refrigerator,
FIVE ore cars and the two coaches
The second ore car caused the trouble
but just what 1t was couldn't be de-
termined exactly. II was thought that
the forward trucks jumped the track
for there appeared to be no break In
any of the axles.
Two ore cars were thrown on one
side OF the track and two on the otner.
The two coaches were also thrown
from the track and one of them stood
almost on end. the forward end being
buried in the sand.
The coupling broke and allowed the
engine, refrigerator and one ore car 10
speed on.
The engineer noticed his air gone
and looked back only TO see his train
some distance behind lying in the
ditch
The engine was backed back TO the
wreck and when 1t was found that all
hands had escaped injury. the refriger-
ator was opened and the passengers
J taken TO this city and word sent TO
Escanaba with a request for the wreck
er which arrived at Ave O'Clock and
cleared up the wreck during the night.

The resumption of work at the Bris-

their money more freely.
The force at the Bristol had reached

been added as fast as they showed up
this week and will be put on until the
mine is fully manned again.
Hosting is going ON at lively rate
and the stockpile is diminishing In
size very rapidly.
At the Corrigan Mckinney mines
there is no change and no signs are ap-
parent of any movement OF stockpiles.
The new snaft at the Tobin Is just
about completed to the eighth level
where connection is made with the
old workings. This shaft has been q
hard one to sink and has taken longer
to complete than was thought at tirst
but. all things considered. remarkably
good time has been made.

HORSE RACE a DANDY
eost Ever Run on the Crystal Falls
Track.

lfdChs
The best horse race ever run on the
Crystal Falls track WAS that OF last
Wednesday afternoon between John
Tufts horse and that Of VIM. Beard OF
Florence.
Owing to the fact that several horse
men from Iron Mountain and Florence
wanted TO see the race and they had
to come on the afternoon train the time
for beginning the race was put back
until 80. When Mr.. Tufts got over
to the grounds he found one OF his tires
punctured and that had to be fixed up
which took up the time until nearly
five o. clock.
The Beard horse was a hard starter
and the two scored for nearly al half
hour before they got the word and then
the Beard horse was about two laps
behind but Mr.. Beard said let IL 90 and
the judges were satisfied.
The heat was beautiful one and
while Tuft won ii the Beard horse
gained about l5-feet OF the distance in
the mile run. However. ruft was not
urging his horse as he would have done
had they been neck and neck. The
time Of the heat was 2:20 fiat
The second heat was a miscarriage.
A new driver handled the Beard horse
and he says that he thought he heard
the judges bell after he got the word
but there was not the least reason fol
him 10 think 80. Tufts made the mile
alone aud covered IL in 2 40
The third heat was beauty and
convinced all that SAW it that the
Tufts horse was the faster on this track
at last The two horses went of neck
and neck but at the first turn Tufts
took lead OF about two lengths anc
held IL right through. His horse hat
plenty OF reserve at the finish ana wal
the winner fairly and squarely and Mr..
Beard himself was satisfied The Ias
heat was run in 2;26.
II. j. McLaren. Q. s. Sensiba and
H. Wismer were the judges.
The Florence contingent was greatly
disappointed but there was no yellow
in their makeup and not a complaint
was uttered. MIR. Beard was we'll sat
ished but thought that his horse was
not in best condition and 1t is probable
that another race between the two
horses will be held In the near future.

Alderman Scadden asked Mr.. Walker
how many yards Of rock he had taken
out and he replied. between 400 and
800 yards Asked how many yet to
remove he replied about $50.
Mr.. Walker was asked when ne ex-
poets to begin mixing concrete for
the foundations and he replied that he
expects to begin to put mp the forms
in a very few days.
After the regular meeting star
chamber session was held at which
public business was transacted but the
public excluded. Mr.. Walker stayed
through the session but what transpired
between himself and the four council

lication. One matter taken mp WAS the
appointment OF night watchman.

May, had become persona non gratis to
the ruling powers and was requested
to Besign during the day. Mayor Webb
informed them that he had decided
upon Jae Davey as his successor but
Alderman Scadden objected and the
matter rested with Davey being put to
werk by the Mayor.
The work thie week at the power
plant has been confined mainly TO ex-
cavating the rock Immediately In the
rear OF the Golfer dam. The end OF the
old dam was blasted out Monday 80
that the Golfer dam is all that holds the
water back now.
The leaks under the Golfer dam are
larger OF any than they were a week
ago and very large volume Of water
is pouring through. A very bad break
occurred Thursday about two o'clock
when the concrete holding the water
at the corner next the main dam was
forced out suddenly by the heavy pres
sure and big additional volume Of
water poured out. Mr. Walker was
down in the pit and was nearly caught
by the rush OF water
A crew was set at work Immediately

two-by-fours on the back Of the dam

A half ton OF marsh hay was brought
down last Monday and the musty hay

PLAYED A FINE GAME
Hermansyille and Crystal Falls 6attled for
Eleven Innings.

Eleven Innings.
The best game OF base ball seen on
the local field since the palmy days
three years ago was fought for eleven
innings last Sunday when the Crystal
Falls boys won out over the Hermans-
Vile lads by score OF 2 TO /.
The HermansviIle team is made up
OF young fellows. pretty well up in the
game and very athletic. They have a
big thing in their pitcher, Slack, who
can hold up his end with the best Of
them about here. He was Ia fine trim
last Sunday and was going at just as
fast clip when the game closed as
when It commenced Not a man was
passed by Slack during the eleven
innings and, but for an unfortunate in
shoot that connected with Lou Henry &
arm In the last inning. he would have
had "a perfect record in the free trans
portation line
A young man named ReDeau did the
back stop work. He was all right
has good wing but falls down once
In while when Slack let's ont his
speed. The work Of every man on the
Hermansyille team was good but that
OF the short stop and the third baseman
had little edge ON the work of the
others. A one hand stop by the third
baseman OF a hard hit ball during the
last part OF the game was as pretty a
piece OF work as was ever seen here.
AS matter of fact Hermansville had
quite lead ON the locals In field work
The surprise In the local team was
the excellent work of Clyde Henry.
both In the box and on second base.
Clyde started the game and was simply
unhittable. He was h little wild al
times and hit three men during the
FIVE innings he pitched but was able tc
pull himself out OF n compile OF bad sit.
uations by striking out batsmen. With
control Clyde will be very formid
able box man.
Ike Oswald was the candy kid lasl
Sunday. IL was his three bagger In
the seventh that brought in the run
that tied the score. In addition tc
that he pitched and fielded we'll. An.
other man that distinguished himself
was Mischaud who put up rattling
good game at short and made the hii
that brought in the winning run. He
and Lou Henry lead with The stick.
Frank Ball caught his usual good
game and kept the opposing base rum
ners Ia their places all tho time.
Ike Roe made very difficult catch
In center field and also hit better than
In any other game he has played In.
Phil Shaw wa. III but was In uni.
form and was put In as pinch hitter
Ia the ninth. When the score failed 10
show up he went back to his own gar.
den and Clyde Henry took second base
and the new arrangement did mucn tc
brace up the team. Ira Odgers who
always plays creditable game was
there In the pinches playing the ditii.
