 The report is exceedingly bitter to- ward District Attorney Jerome, who, Mr. Jackson says. tried to discredit him before the Grand Jury, so that his efforts to prosecute the Ice Trust fell through. MT. Jackson describes this as 'contemptib1e, cOwardly scheme, which, he says, was conceived at a dinner party, composed of MT. Mont gomery, an official of the Hamilton Bank; Howard Cans and the District Attorney.
 MT. Jackson also charges that the various trusts have representatives on the Grand Jury and that the system must be changed to insure convic- tiOnS.

ELY AND WINTON
Ely Boys WallOp the Win
tOnites Sunday

An immense crowd went to Win
ton Sunday to see the Ely Fire De-
partment nine do up the Winton
boys in the most approved style.
The Winton boys can play some
and the score sheets shows that the
Ely bunch did play some. Sera-
phine, who was on the mound for
Ely, did business all the time and
between him and Catcher LaBeau
and First Baseman Odds, very few
of the suburbanites got away with
anything more than their turn at
the bat.
The Ely bunch went to bat first
with Byers and Byers holding the
points and Phil Murray the indica-
tor. The side was promptly retir-
ed as were also the Winton boys in
their halt. This continued in un-
broken form Until the first half OF
the fifth inning when Ely secured
two runs. Winton failed to do
anything until the last half of the
eighth, when, through a rnuffed
fly in the field they secured run
and another in the ninth through a

FALL LAKE
Celebrates July 4 on Satur.
day July 3

Advertising matter is being cir
culated for a Fourth of July ce1e-
bration at Fall Lake on Saturday
July 8, which is destined to be a
hummer and worth going many
miles to see.
Fall Lake always has a glorious
time on the National birthday and
this year will be no exception.
Money enough has been subscribed
to make a day of enjoyment and
festivities will begin at 8 O'Clock
and last for IL hours. Athletic and
aquatic contests of every description
have been arranged.
The browning event of the day
will be ball game between the Au-
rora and Winton teams for prize.
Both teams can go some in the base
ball line and the game promises to
be hard fought.
Make your arrangements to take
in the Fall Lake and Winton cele-
brations on the 3rd, rest up on the
4th and be in good trim for the Ely
celebration on the 5th.

NIGHT SHIFT
Zenith Mine to Work Night
Shift Next Week

The Zenith mine, which discon-
tinued the night shift about a year
ago, will next week again resume
night work.
This will be good news to Ely as
the resumption of night work will
mean the immediate employment of
an additional force of about $50
men. The crew will probably be
small for the first few nights as a
full force cannot be picked up on
short notice, but will be enlarged
gradually.
The Zenith is one of the largest
underground mines in the country
and employs a considerable force at
present. Supt. Trezona informs
us that the day force will be dupli-
Gated for night work as fast as men
can be secured.

pany have begun work on the con-
struction of their large new ware
house near the depot. The build
ing will be of a good size and cap
able of handling their immense
business here and will be equipped
with all modern improvements.
The new warehouse should be the
best in the land as the company has

about IL years. The Improvement
will be appreciated, not only by the
depot forces. but by the patrons of

of their festivities being laid at Vir-

Sunday, the Red Lodge, Mont,
band of thirty-fve musicians will be

Next Sunday the Winton team
will play on the Ely grounds with
the Fire Department nine and the
game is expected to be good one.
It is understood that Winton has
strengthened some of its weak
places this week and will give the
Ely boys a run for their money.
The attendance at all games is in
creasing steadily showing that the
interest is intense. AS soon as the
fence and the ground is completed
Ely will have one of the finest ath-
letic parks in the country and will
be in position to produce better
games. The cash for maintaining
the equipment is hard to get, many
of those seeing the games, failing
to donate. This will be done away
with after the fence is complete and
the tight wads" forced to dig.
The fans appreciate the work
done by the players, all of whom
are playing ball for the sport there
is in it.
The games with the Wolvins, of
Duluth, on the fourth and fifth
promises to be the browning event
of the baseball season.
