Only Case on Record.

A case in which Anil Honka was
the defendant and which was dis
posed OF in the court of Justice Duffy
at Munising is believed to be the
only one of It's kind on record in the
state.
In sore need of men to fight forest
fire raging at the time In the country
TO the south of Wetmore, Deputy State
Fire Warden w. o. Frost visited a
saloon in search of recruits for his
fire-fighting brigade.
Honka was one OF the loungers
about the place, but while he admit
ted that he did not have anything in
particular to do he stubbornly de-
clined TO assist in beating back the
flames. Frost swore out warrant for
his arrest, charging him with refusing
to aid in suppressing forest fires, an
offense which is covered in the state
statutes.
Justice Duffy sentenced the man to
80 days In the house Of correc-
ton at Detroit. The fire south OF
Wetmore burned over a considerable
area. came within a narrow margin
OF wiping out the settlement of Coal
wood and caused serious losses.
Among the property destroyed were
several thousands of cords of hard
wood.

THE BANK AT IRoNWooD SEEMS
TO BE AN PHENOMENAL

NO ASSETS ARE LEFT
Grave Charges Are Made and the A.

Queer Things Happened.

That the failure of the Ironwood Ma
tional bank is complete Is indicated
by the statement credited to one of
the investigators that the collapsed
institution will not pay 10 cents on
the dollar to its creditors. Depositors,
patrons who had cash and valuable
bonds In the safety deposit boxes,
business men who at the request OF
the bankers and in full confidence de-
posted their own checks in the bank
to swell its assets while the examin-
ers were present-these lose heavily.
Many of them will be utterly ruined.
Half the deposits in the bank be-
longed TO miners of the neighbor-
hood and represented their life-sav-
ings. DR.. Whiteside, chief surgeon in
the Norrie mine, had $4,000 in val
liable securities taken out of his pri-
vate deposit box and placed in the
banks drawers. Only $4,000 In non
negotiable paper was left In his box.
Ntional Bank Examiner George II.
Luther, Of Grand Rapids, who ordered
the banks doors closed and the bank
er arrested, is blamed by many OF
the losers, who assert that when Cash
Ter Larson was removed a week ago
and replaced by Postmaster Houk. be-
cause things in the bank did not hook
right, Luther assured the public that
the institution was perfectly safe. In
the next few days the bank was per
mitted to accept several thousands Of
dollars in deposits, 1t is said, and then
the crash came.
Business in the town and In the
county as well is practically paralyzed
by the bank failure. Business men fac
ing ruin are numerous, and working
men who had all their funds in the
institution see little chance to save
anything.

however, we are led to believe that
such may not always be the case.
Our attention was called by a cor
respondent last August to the fact
that many fallen twigs examined con.
tanned no worms. Later, in Septem-
Der, we noted this also, and were
not able to find single larva in any
twigs examined, large number being
cut open for examination.
This can hardly be accounted for
by the work of insectivorous birds,
since they would be unable to reach
them in their burrows. In any event
the larva is in its burrow when the
twig first falls and can then be east
ly cared for. We therefore suggest
the following remedy:
Collect and burn all twigs cut of
by this insect as soon as they are
found on the ground in July or Aug
ust. Do not leave this work until the
following spring.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1909-07-08

pended with whiting or wilted leaves,
not yet dislodged by the wind. The
pieces on the ground, when examined,
exhibit a clean cut or break at the
large end, and if one cuts into the
twig with knife a whitish worm is
disclosed lying in the burrow thus
opened. This is the larva of the oak
primer, which when full grown is a
little more than one-half inch long,
and transforms into a blackish or
brownish beetle of about the same
length.
The life history of this pest is such,
evidencing apparently marvellous in
stinct, that it commands our admira-
ton. The female beetle, according to
Fitch, normally lays her eggs in
spring or summer on a green succu-
lent twig in an angle between leaf
twig and leaf stalk. This action af-
fords the young tender food of the
right nature, easily obtained AS the
larva grows older it works into the

because of his delicate, almost ethe-

perhaps, also. because Lucille herself

Percy more than II he were more TO

refinement herself. she was not the
