Taken to Duluth.

The fellow who was in Jail all
last week, picked up in one of the
local stores suffering a lapse of
memory inasmuch as he did not
know his name, residence or any,
thing pertaining to himself, was
taken to Duluth Sunday by Sheriff
Bates to be examined in probate
court. He was down on the police
blotter as Richard Roe" His
mind was most complete blank.
To every question his answer was,
Il dom t know" He acted be-
wildered apparently attempting to
call something to memory without
result.
Later, in Duluth, for a brief
time he came too and said his
name was Peterson and that he
hailed from West Duluth. After
these few words he again re1apsed
into silence. Nobody knew the
man here and no language seemed
to appeal to him although all were
tried.

Tower Shooting.

Tower was the scene of a shoot
ing Monday which resulted in the
death of two men. Coroner Glea-
son was called to Tower Monday
and found VIM. Toija dead and
Jacob Leinonen on the verge of
death, he dying that evening.
1t seems that Toija, who board
ed with Leinonen some time ago
after having been arrested and
fined for crime on complaint of
Leinonen left Tower vowing ven
geance. He returned Monday and
meeting Leinonen on the street
shot him twice with a revolver.
After this Toija shot himself in

CURED August 10Th at Chisholm
The young people kept their mar.
riage secret from even their most
intimate friends until last Saturday
when a letter to his parents here,
Mr.. Mclaughlin stated that the
ceremony had taken place on the
above date. Hugh has been EN-.
ployed at Chisholm for several
weeks and his bride left Saturday
for that place. Their many Tower

You may disfgure barns and
fences, rocks and roads, waste your
money on so-called business charts
and all that sort of thing, and vain
ly imagine you are advertising.
But you are not. The newspaper
that every week visits hundreds of
homes and is looked upon by its
readers as a reliable friend and adj
vertising medium through which
the wide-awake business man will
speak to the people. Quack adver.
tising-the kind you bite on when
a stranger comes around with a
great scheme" is like .quack med
icine-the less you take of it the
better. The man who appreciates
the value of newspaper advertising
and has business instince enough
to know that all other methods are
spurious, is the man who meets
with success. -Charden Record.

ORE MOVEMENT
Quite Brisk Shortage of
Ore Cars.

The present daily movement of
iron ore from upper lake ports is
heavier than it was last month, but
as September has one day less than
August, and as time was lost owing
to Labor Day, the movement this
month may not exceed that of last
month, which was 1913, 1919 tons,
says the Cleveland Iron Trade Re-
view. Complaints of car shortage
are already being heard, but the
supply is better this week than it
was last. In the ore market, the
clearing up of odds and ends con-
tinues.
On base ore with the guarantee
of SIS per cent on old range and
Mesaba Bessemer, and 51H per
cent on old range and Mesaba nom
Bessemer, we quote as follows: Old
range Bessemer, $3.50; Mesaba
Bessemer, $500; old range nom
Bessemer, $3.50; Mesaba non-Bes-
semer, $3.50.
For No. 2 foundry pig iron,
Cleveland furnaces are now hold
ing firmly to $1s at the furnace for
any delivery this year or next. Of
fers from consumers netting a few
cents less than $1S are being re-
fused. In the valley, the ordinary
quotation for prompt iron is $3.50
although there has been shading in
some cases. Inquiry is heavy and
sales have been numerous.

FIRST HALF.

The visiting team chose to defend
the north goal. Carlson kicked tt
the Indians 20 yard line and they
returned the ball S yards. Failing
to make their 10 yards in three
downs, they punted to Ely's as
yard line. By we'll directed plays,
the locals returned the ball IS yards
for a touchdown, failing to kick
goal. Time, 4 minutes. Score, Ely
S, Indians O.
The Indians kicked off to Ely's
80 yard line and the ball was re-
turned IS yards. After about ten
minutes of continued see-sawing in
the center of the field, Ely finally
skirted the end for a 40 yard run
and a touchdown, this time sue
ceeding in kicking goal. Score,
Ely II; Indians O..
The Indians again kicked off but
with only two minutes remaining,
time was called with the ball on
the Indians 80 yard line.
SECOND HALF.
The Indians kicked to the Ely
IS yard line and the ball wac re-
turned 10 yards. After a two-min-
ute scrimmage, the home boys
made an end run, going out of
bounds on the five yard line. The
ball was returned Is yards. Straight
line bucks resulted in third touch
down; failing again to kick goal.
The Indians again kicked to Ely.
Very slow ball, characterized by
great deal of laying out" on the
part of the visitors, made the game
uninteresting for short time.
After several exchanges of punts
the Indians resorted to tricky play
ing, making inconsistent gains and
losing the ball on their SO yard line.
Ely worked the ball to the Indians
80 yard line and failing to gain,
punted to the Indians 7 yard line.
The bali, rolling across the goal
line was recovered by an Ely man,
scoring the fourth touchdown.
Goal was missed. Score, Ely FL;
Indians 0.
Ely kicked off to the Indians
with only four minutes to play.
The lineup was somewhat changed
at this time by sending in three
new Ely players, but time was
called with the call on the Indians
IS yard line.
The game as a whole, was we'll
played before large and enthu-
siastic crowd. The Indians out
weighed the locals Is pounds to |
the man, but were outclassed in
team work.
Judging by the spirit and the
way the fellows worked, the sea-
son promises to be very successful. !
Games will probably be arranged
with Eveleth, Virginia, Tower,
and a return game with the In
dians. The Ely lineup was as
follows:
Right end--Mattila- Coffey
tackle-Martin
" guard-Schaefer
Center-Williams
Left end-Macki
tackle-Pete
guard-Takkunen-Holm dimes
Left half-McMahan
Right half-Knutson
Quarter back-Prisk
Full back-Carlson.
One of the Indians was unfor-
tunate enough to have his collar
bone broken in the first scrimmage.
His injuries were at once attended
to at the Shipman hospital.
