hamitton Seeks New Trial.

George f. Hamilton, whose arrest
in this city year since on the
charge of attempting to kill Sheriff
Beck of Houghton county, Mich, is
remembered by all, and who sub
sequent to his conviction of the
crime wss given life sentence in
the Michigan penitentiary, seeks a
new trial, and has employed Grand
Rapids attorneys to act in his be-
half.
The crime of which Hamilton was
convicted was an attempt upon the
life of the sheriff through an in
fernal machine shipped to Hough-
ton from Iron River, Wis.,, a battery
stolen from drill belonging to a
local firm assisting in the evidence
convicting him of the crime.
Hamilton had, previous to com.
ing to this range, served a Jail sen-
tence in the Houghton Jail, and
while his mind was evidently busy
with other things he appeared in
the role of religious crank while
here.

caught Grillo squarely in the throat,
nearly severing the head from the
body, death resulting an hour later.
The fight occurred on one of the
principal streets of the village, at
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon,
and il was with difficulty that the
officers restrained the angry mob
which gathered from lynching the
criminal, who was later taken to
Eveleth and placed in Jail for safe
keeping.
The murder is one of the most
unprovoked in the history of the
range, aud there can be no doubt
the assailant will be given the full
penalty of his crime at the next
term of district court when his case
will in all likelihood come up.
The murdered man was a thrifty
and prosperous resident of Gilbert,

County Division.

County Division.
The large cities seem just now to
be holding a county division re.
vival. The News Tribune extends
to them the glad hand, and has no
bricks concealed about its person.
Every one must realize that some
day this county will be divided; 90,
as the only question to be decided
is when, there is no occasion for
any one to become apoplectic over
the matter.
II the range gets its $250OM court
house at Virginia, as it doubtless
will, that would seem to fix the ioca
ton Of the county seat of the new
county when it comes. This re-
moves one of the chief obstacles to
county division, that is, the first
division, for ultimately St. Louis
county will be carved up into not
two, but half dozen counties.
Moreover the subsequent division
will he in that portion first set of,
with i.s headquarters in Virginia,
so that does not concern Duluth.
Its only concern in the fret division,
when it comes, is that the line
established shall be 90 located that
there will never be a subsequent
carving up of this southern portion.
Nor do we see any great menace
to Duluth in division, nor. in fact,
any great gain at this time to the
ranges Experience shows that the
growth of cities and the welfare of
counties depends but little on the
one being county seats or the other
being large or small. The other
elements in the prosperity equation
far outweigh these.
But, il the range cities really wish
to be set off from Duluth in their
county government and set up
political housekeeping by their
lonesomes, we wish them God.
speed. and feel like offering them,
not advice. for that implies feel
ing of superiority of which We have
no trace, but friendly "hunch."
To get division they must first
get the votes. They cannot expect
much help in this from Duluth and
its environs-that would uot be
reasonable. Nor can the y expect,
as cities depending almost wholly
on the mining industry, to outstrip
Duluth in growth of population.
They can get the votes only by
settling the farm territory around
them. This will not only give them
a rural population, but new basis
for their own growth. 1t will be
their salvation, also, when their
nearby mines are exhausted, and
other cities started at new locations.
This means, however, that their
business men must wake up, as Du-
luth's have, to the possibilities and
the necessity of agriculture. So far
they are souuder asleep than even
this city was three years ago. In
two Of these cities, when farmers'
institutes were held there last week
to help in ttis very work, they en-,
countered froet-no, a below zero
freeze.
There were neither farmers nor
business men at the meetings, not a
half dozen of either. That is more
than indifference, aud the News
Tribune, if it wac the enemy of the
range, instead of it's firm friend. if
it was hotly opposed to county di.
vision iustead OF at meat Indifferent
if not friendly, would be glad Of
this attitude toward agriculture,
AZ it is, re wlsh the range cities
were doing stunts in this, that they
were showing Duluth the way and
making county division in the near
future a certainty.-News Tribune,

FRANCHISE RfffRRfD FOR ONE WEEK.
City Attorney and Committee Will Re.
port o. Street Rail*ay Gcaat
After More Consideration.

Messrs. E. N. Prindle of Duluth
aud Louis HaI,itch Of Superior, in
the interests of the promoters of
the proposed street railway system,
appeared before the. council Tues.
day evening. expecting the city
ordinance granting a franchise to
their'company to receive its second
reading. but the council had not
given the matter the attention they
considered necessary and it was
put over for one week, being refer
red to the city attorney and the
committee on streets, alleys and
sewers to more carefully examine
the provisions of the document and
make report thereon at the next
meeting. The representatives Of
the company will be here at that
time to answer any questions asked
or to speak authoritively on any
changes desired.
The petition submitted by the
board of education of the Iudepen-
dent School District of Virginia at
the previous meeting asking for
the vacation of that portion of Pop
lar street lying between Central and
Virginia avenues, was reported ad-
versely by the committee to whom
it had been referred and was reject
ed by unanimous vote of the coun-
Gil.
The council took action favorable
to the esta blishment of an ice rink
on the school grounds in the rear
of the Roosevelt building, and ap-
pointed the poundmaster as special
officer in charge OF same to see that
the rink was secured to the children
of the city for whom it is intended.
The council accepted the plans
and specifications of the Diebold
Safe &, Lock Co. tor the cell work for
the new Jail, the aggregate price of
which IS about $4,000. Work on
the installation of the same will be
commenced as quickly as possible,
as the committee in charge is desir.
GUS of completing the remodeling
OF the building at an early date.
The clerk reported that the Vir-
|ginia Electric Power & Water Com.
pany refused to recognize the res
olution passed by the council at a
former meeting calling for the in
stallation of water mains to the.
North Side Addition; 5a the grounds
that the number of hydrants pro-
vided was no: in accordance with
the provisions of their franchise.
The provisions of this franchise
are, although the document is seven
teen years old. unknown to the
great majority of Virginians, aud
the council will meet and carefully
peruse the document on Sunday
next. with view to finding out
where the city and where the com.
pany may be at in the premises.
Other matters pertaining to the
conduct OF the light and water sys-
tenn will also be looked into.

Men We Meet.

S. W. Giipin was in town from
Virginia last night. Mr.. Gilpin is
a notable figure in St. Louis county
politics, being one OF the two coun.
ty officers that Duluth permits to
be selected from the range. How.
ever the law provides that the coun.
ty superintendent of schools must
be chosen from outside of Duluth
so the Zenith city should not be
blamed too severely for permitting
the office to go to the ranges. Mr.
Gilpin was elected county superin.
tendent of schools in 1904 and he's
liable to be at the head of the coun:
ty's educational system just as long
as he wants TO be-or until Iron
county is divorced from St. Louis
when we will need him up here all
the time. Mr.. Gilpin has an office
in Duluth but spends most of his
time afield.
Ben Levin, who for many years
held the distinction of being the
only Jewish membe OF the Masonic
fraternity on the ranges, was an.
other Virginia visitor in Hibbing
last evening. Mr.. Levin is irrespres'
sible and everybody would be sorry
if he did repress himself. He
emanates glow of geniality wher
ever he goes and he is always a
welcome visitor in Hibbing.-Hib

ring point at Grand Junction. The
various clubs of the small metropolis
are espousing the causes OF the can

its particular favorite and the mer-
chants of the town also are taking a
hand in the contest and are urging
their customers to use his or her In
fluence for this one or that one of
the candidates. Such rivalry often
leaves bad taste. BY the method
adopted it makes it possible for the
ones spending the most money to elect
their favorite. This will not be pos
sible in Durango nor will the papers
turn the contest into money-m,iking
affair. Every girl will have an equal
show without the expenditure of one
dollar themselves or their friends
