from Battle Field.

and Pioneers. After q
Brief Illness

Friday morning the people of L'Anse
and vicinity were greatly shocked when
the news was spread of the sudden and
unexpected death of John Siren, other
wise and more familiarly known as
Michael Creedon.
Only few knew Of his illness, as he
was a strong and healthy man, until
Tuesday morning, when upon arising
from his bed he was attacked by Sc
verespain in his left side. Apparently
thinking nothing of this, he left his
home and went into nearby wood lot
to work. At noon he returned for din
ner but was unable to continue his du-
ties and was compelled to take to his
bed. Despise all efforts of both physi-
clans and relatives his condition grew
rapidly worse and after passing very
restless night, he was finally summoned

and Illinois. During this time he en-
listed in the army and participated in
the Civil war. Following the war and
about 26 years ago he came to L'Anse
in the capacity of a section foreman in
the employ of the d. S. S. & A. rail
road company, at the time of the ex-
tension work to the copper country, sew
ering his connection shortly after the
completion of'the job.
He was a man well and favorably
known throughout this part Of the
country and had large number of
friends. He was charter member of
the Catholic Knights of America, To-
cal society now out of existence, and
a member of the fast depicting ranks
of the "Boys in Blue"
On the 9Th day of November, twenty
FIVE years ago, he was united in mar

Tuesday evening L'Anse Town Hall
was the scene of one of the largest
and most enthusiastic caucuses which
has been held in the township in some
years.
Promptly at the hour set Clerk
Andrew Johnson called the meeting to
order. Martin Voetsch was duly elected
to the Office Of chairman and F. A..
Mellencamp as secretary, Chas. j.
Brink, of Pequaming, was chosen as
assistant secretary and Messrs Charles
Kelsey, Glen Hathaway, F. c Proctor
and d. p. Menard as tellers.
The first Office to come up for con-
sideration was that of Supervisor. The
names of Frank w. Foote, the present
incumbent and Edward Sicotte were
presented, For several minutes the
balloting was very spirited the result
ofwhich was that Mr.. Foote received
152 votes, Mr.. Sicotte 1872 votes, with
two scattering making total of 286
votes cast in all.
For Clerk, there were three aspirants,
namely Andrew Johnson, the present
clerk, John F. Anderson, of Pequaming,
and H. Henry Murphy. When the votes
were counted Mr.. johnson had 151;
Mr.. Anderson, 72 and Mr.. Murphy 36.
The same spirit prevailed for super
visor and clerk was again manifested
when the voting for treasurer began.
Noise T. Deschaine and Otto H.
Sengebusch were the aspirants in this
case and there was some great activity
displayed by both candidates.
The result of this ballot, however,
gave Mr.. .Deschaine 1876 to Mr..
Sengebuschs' IA; there was also a
scattering vote of two in this case.
When it came to the voting for
Highway Commissioner the fever was
at its highest point and with three
candidates making every effort possible
to outdo the other there was all kinds
of life. Edward Seavoy, Henry Sands
and Peter Clyne were the three to
seek the vote of the caucus, and when
the ballots were counted it was found
that 260 had been cast, out of which
Mr.. Seavoy received 1872: Mr.. Sands
103 and Mr.. Clyne, FL. There were four
scattering votes in this case.
The balance of the ticket was NOM
mated by acclamation there being no
opposition in any case, and the name of
those gentlemen may be found in
another column containing the list of
nominees.
Chairman Voetsch appointed the
following committee on vacancies:
Herman j. Seifert, Burnt Nelson and
Herman Keranen.
Throughout the entire caucus the best
of harmony prevailed. A large delega-
tion came from Pequaming and more
would have been present had the stage
accommodations been available, and
about forty came down from Herman,
a few from Nestoria and good turn
out of village folks, went to make up a
caucus which will go down in the an
mails of township history.

BANK MAKES GOOD
CHECK LOSS,

The Old National bank has made
good the loss sustained by T. F.
Sturtevant, proprietor of the Owl
drug store, because of theft of a
check of $50 mailed by Sturtevant
to the Union Trust Co. The check
was made payable to the Union
Trust Co. and was deposited by
Sturtevant in a mail box but never
turned up at the Office of the trust
company, it is claimed. The name
of the trust company was erased
and that of Ed Holmes substituted
and after being Endorsed by
Holmes, which is believed to be a
fictitious name, was paid by the
bank Afterward the bank re-
fused to make good the loss and
Sturtevant brought suit. The case
was set for trial yesterday in JUS
tees Hyde's court but was set
tied by the bank.
The postoffice inspectors have
had the case in hand since the
matter was reported last October,
but no clew as to how the check
left the mails has developed.

ager Of Wentworths, was Endorsed
by tn eclub for the next president
of the Pacific Coast Admen's asso-
citation. The next convention will
be held at Seattle June 1 to 6,
and it is pretty generally conceded
that the indorsee of the Spokane
club will receive the support of
practically all the clubs of Wash
ington and Oregon, as Spokane
has the strongest organization in
the state and Oregon is willing to
see the presidency come to Wash
ington. A committee was appoint
ed to devise ways and means to
boost Mr.. Bigelow's candidacy and
the club pledged itself to do ev-
erything possible to secure his
election.

CITY BATTLES
A BREWERY

The city is in a tangle with the
Spokane Brewing & Mating Co.,
in which the brewery holds the
whip hand.
When the Stevens street bridge
was built the city erected small
building on the brewery's property
and after the bridge was completed
left the building standing. The
brewery notified Commissioner
O'Brien that the building. would
have to be removed, but the no.
tice was unheeded and the brew
cry then engaged carpenter to
do the demolition act.
The carpenter tore down the
building and took the lumber with
him. storing it away. Commits
sioner Witherspoon then got busy
and demanded that the lumber be
returned. Acting on the instruc-
tons of Henry Boesemann, the car
penter refused to return the lum-
Der until he was paid for the work
of tearing it down. This amounts
to a half days pay for four men
and a half days pay for the car
penter who bossed the job.
Witherspoon wants his lumber
and the carpenter sticks to it that
he wants his money and the odds
at present favor the carpenter,
since the city built the house on
the brewery's property. Commits
sioner Witherspoon has the matter
under adyiSementt

beers of the commission. not to push
the idea at the present but permit
the commission to continue with
revision of the city charter in the
original manner.
The question of the adoption of
the BEST Moines plan can not be
fully settled until after the legisla-
ture has passed on the measure
sent up by Spokane calling for non
partisan city primaries. Lawyers
say that the state law on primary
elections will have to be changed
before nonpartisan city govern
ment plan will hold
A majority of the committee on
the election of councilmen at large,
Messrs. Walker and Vincent, have
agreed to report in favor of the
adoption of this idea The other
member of the committe, Council
man Jacob Schiller, says he is TAX
ing no part in the deliberations of
the charter revision commission,
and has no views ON the question
of electing councilmen at large.
This considered to mean that he is
against it. as Schiller has said in
the past that the present city char
ter ought to be consigned to the
flames and one like that of Des
Moines adopted. 1t is said that
Councilman Fred Baldwin is now
favorably impressed with the idea
of electing councllmen at large.
