TENT MAY SAVE LIVES.
Nurse Ehlert Finds Another Case
Where Help is Needed.

Would you give away that old tent
you have up in the attic to try to help
save the lives of a woman and two
children OF course you would. Miss
Caroline Ehlert, the visiting nurse of
the Houghton County Anti-Tuberculo-
sis society, has found a family not very
far from Houghton, consisting of a
mother and two children, which can
make the best kind of use of tent and
it may mean the saving Of one or more
lives If this tent is forthcoming.
The woman is trying to make the
living of herself and the children but
she is sick herself of tuberculosis and
each of the children is infected by the
terrible disease. Miss Ehlert and the
physician have decreed that the three
persons must sleep in a tent out of
doors but they have not the tent nor
the means with which to get it, so
there you are. The other day we told
in these columns of the family that
needed the springs and mattress and
Miss Ehlert got them the next day. If
you call up the anti tuberculosis So
ciety South, or any member Of the
society and tell where to get the tent,

Der Suddenly Made Famous.

Otto Klessig, who left Houghton
about three years ago to work at his
trade of plumber at Great Falls, Mont,
has SUDDENLY become more or less IA
nous through some trouble that he
has had in his new town over his au-
tomobi!e and his union. Last weeks
issue of Leslies Weekly contains the
story of how Otto was fined by the
plumbers union in the Montana town
because the members OF the union
think that an ordinary plumber is
breaking into the ranks of the cap
italistic class" when he rides to his
labors in n benzine buggy.
Otto refused to pay the fine and
emphasized his disapproval OF the ac-
ton Of the union members by thrash
ing the secretary and paying a fine in
justice court for so doing. Thus
has a former Houghton man become
known all over the country.

SEARCH FOR BfIIBY FINALLY
GIVEN UP BY HIS FRIENDS
Party Of Benton Harbor Men Re
turn After Hopeless Search
for Hunter.
SECURED WOODS NEAR SIDNAW

SAYS a Benton Harbor dispatch:
Clothed I'm the deepest mystery that
has ever attended a death in the north
woods of Michigan. the circumstances
surrounding the strange disappearance
OF Robert Beilby, a hunter OF this sec
ton who went north last fall with a
party OF Berrien county sportsmen to
shoot deer. are to forever remain a
secret of the trackless wilds,
A party of searchers who fort
night ago invaded the north for the
purpose of finding Beilby's remains
have returned without the least trace
of him. Two weeks OF systematic hunt
ing, of dragging of creeks and small
streams, of search through swamps
and forests where the vegetation grew
so uxuriantly as TO make passage al
most impossible. failed to discover
single clue which would Indicate his
fate.
Beilby. father of two children and
the husband of a woman who is griev-
ing herself to death over his tragic
disappearance, lived just across the
Berrien line i'm Cass county. He was
an expert woodsman and a hunter.
Sixty-five years of age he had been
north on deer hunting expeditions a
number of times. Last fall, in COM
pany with his son, he started north
for his annual outing in the woods.
With him were neighbors and veteran
deer hunters. Camp was established
near Sidnaw.
One day Beilby and another member
of the camp started out. They had
tracked a deer for some distance when
the run" separated. The hunters
parted company. Beilby disappeared
over a ridge. That was the last seen
of him. Heartsick and disappointed,
the son and others OF the party came
home to break the news to the widow.
To satisfy a mothers within the son
headed an expedition back up north TO
hunt for the body this spring. This
week the party returned empty handed
and with the word that the woods re-
fuse to give up the secret OF the deer
end.
There are many theories concerning |
Beilby's strange disappearance. A
sartling one, but one which the lost |
hunters companions say is probable is |
that Beilby was mistaken for a deer |
shot by stranger and his body buried |
10 hide the mistake. Others believe |
that Beilby, exhausted and bewildered, |
wandered away into a trackless swamp |
n victim of cold and hunger.

MUNCY LEAVES WITH BODY
OF CAPTAIN |. A. WRIGHT
First Mate Mcdonald Promoted
to Captaincy and Henry Casey
is First Mate.
WRIGHT ON LAKES 2S YEARS

Early this afternoon the Anchor line
steamer Muncy. her flag at half-mast
and the dead body OF Loren A. Wright
her former captain, lying I'm state IN
his quarters, steamed away from the
Copper Range dock, through the draw
and proceeded down Portage lake to-
ward her destination, the port of Bur
falo on Lake Erie. A new captain
John w. Mcdonald. who was the hrst
mate of the boat up to yesterday morn
ing when he found the body of his
captain lying dead In his berth, was
directing the movements of the vessel
and a new first mate, Henry Casey
who came from Chicago TO become
one Of the crew, was giving orders to
the other members of the steamers
crew.
Late yesterday afternoon c. o. Berg
land, the agent of the Anchor line at
this port, received a telegram from
the main offices of the company at
Buffalo telling him that Mate Casey
would arrive in Houghton this noon
and that Mr.. Mcdonald would sail the
boat to Buffalo as captain. 1t is
thought probable that Captain Nc
Donald will continue i'm command of
the craft for the rest of the season al
though IL is possible that the company
will shift him to another boat of its
feet and give the command of the
Muncy into the hands of a captain of
one of the smaller boats of the COM
pany's fleet. First Mate Casey is one
of the best known characters on the
great lakes and some of the members
of the crew were well pleased when
they heard that he was to be their
second officer.
Dead Captain Old Lake Man.
The late Captain Wright is one of
the oldest and most favorably known
men in the business of sailing boats
on the great lakes. He came to the
lakes from service on the st. Lawrence
river about 2S years ago and soon en-
tered the employ of the Anchor line.
He has risen steadily in their services
until he was given the command of
the Muncy last summer. Among the
boats he has commanded are the Ly-
coming and the Codorus, both of which
are known to shipping men in these
waters. All who knew the deceased
captain are loud in their praises of his
many fine qualities, both as a man and
rs the master of a sailing vessel.
Captain Wright's body will be taken
10 Erie, Pa, where his wife and two
sons now live. He was So years old at
he time of his death and besides be-
ng n member of the Shipmasters' as
ISOLATION, he was n Mason.
