Born to Mrs Louis BOSNIAN of Laur-

The monthly meeting of the Laurium
council will be held next Tuesday
evening and important business will
be transacted.
Laurium is practically free from
contagion now for the first time in
many months Only one case of scar
let fever is reported.
Rev. Herman Beck, pastor of the
German Reormed church of Calumet

No clew has been received so far as
to the perpetrators of the recent allcg-

ers.
The ten months old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Herman of Laurium was

MAKE CARNIVAL
ANNUAL Event
CONTRACTS FOR ELECTRIC pow
Err WILL BE CLOSED THIS
WEEK - PATTERSON
AMUSEMENT co.

The promoters of the proposed mid
summer carnival for Laurium will
close contracts this week with the
Houghton County Electric Light COM
pany for power for the carnical at
fractions to be brought here next July.
As the driving park has no lighting
facilities, it will be necessary To run
wires To the park for this occasion. 1t
is also possible that the absence of
water at the driving park may prove
an obstacle, but those VINO are pro-
noting this event have practically ar
ranged to store "A sufficient supply of
water in tanks on the grounds.
Tho shows which have been en-
gagged for Laurium are presented the
Patterson Amusement company. not
the Parker Bros Show company as
was a first expected. This change In
the plans was decided upon so that
the patrons would be assured of new
attractions, Parker Bros. having Wis
tied Calumet on several occasions.
While the Parker Bros shows are
the largest i'm the country, there is
every reason to believe that better
satisfaction will result from the APP
pearance of a new carnival company
here, with features which have not
been seen before. Parker Bros have
three road shows, whereas the Patter-
son Amusement company has but one
and all of its energies Of the promot-
ers are confined to making IL the best
and most up to- date that can be pro-
Vided. The attractions are said To be
fully as numerous If not more so than
those of any single Parker Bros show.
II this years effort is a success. it is
likely that the midsummer carnival
VIII become an annual feature in
Laurium. Those who have taken the
initiative are enthusiastic over the
outlook and believe that big attrac-
ton of this kind will serve TO slim
uate trade and arouse public interest
In the community, resulting i'm bet
ter feeling between the business men
and others.

Laurium Department
POLITICS WARMING UP IN
IAURIUM BEFORE CAUCUS

With the nominating caucus only
two days away, considerable interest
is manifested in political matters in
the village of Laurium and il is evil
dent that some warm fights may be
expected The contests this year seem
TO be confined entirely to the vacan-
cies on the council, Joseph Wills, who
Is candidate to succeed w. j. Rey-
nolds as president, having no opposi-
ton and no candidates having APP
peared for the offices of clerk, treas
urer or assessor.
]. II. Manner this morning announced
his candidacy for one of the positions
on the council making the sixth can
didate to enter the race. Bernard
Holmstrom and John Il. Rastelo of the
old council are candidates for re-elec-
ton and it is believed that Malcolm
Mcleod will be candidate to sue
coed himself although he has made no
formal announcement In addition
George Hall and George Labby are in
the race for positions as trustees. 1t
was rumored yesterday that Dan c.
Harrington would be in the race but
when seen today, Mr.. Harrington
stated that he had decided to keep out
of the fight. There are four vacancies
to be filed at the coming election as
IL will be necessary to fill the uneX-
pired term of Vincent Vairo, to which
Mr. Rastello was appointed last spring
after the resignation of Mr.. Vairo. 1t
is possible that a fifth vacancy may
appear as Samuel Jeffrey, one of the
trustees of the village left yesterday
for Lansing where he will enter the
state insurance department.
In addition to candidates who have
made formal announcement of their in
tentions the names of various others
have been mentioned i'm this conncc-
ton, and IL is thought that the fight
will be warm. There were rumors yes
terday that Mr. Wills would have OPP
position for the position of president,
but when interviewed today. the man
most prominently mentioned in this
connection stated that he had decided
not 20 run.

ASSUMES DUTIES TOMORROW.
John T. Mcdonald to Become Deputy
Game Warden.

John T. Mcdonald of Laurium. the
recently appointed deputy state game
and fish warden will tomorrow assume
his new duties. Mr. Mcdonald has
spent the last few days with Deputy
st. Clair Wilson of the Portage Lake
district familiarizinS Himself with his
duties and is now prepared to take
charge of his work. The members of
the various rod and gun clubs of the
copper country will doubtless coop
crate with Mr.. Mcdonald in the en-
forcement of the law.
Members of the Austrian rod and
gun club of Calumet, on Sunday took
about ten pair of Jack Rabbits into
Keweenaw county where they were set
free for the purpose of propagation.
This is no experiment with the MEM
bers OF the Austrian rod and gun club
as a large number of rabbits have been
taken to Keweenaw county during the
last few months. and it is believed the
time is not far distant when excellent
hunting will be provided.

COLE AN EXCEPTION.
Former Bay City Twirler Makes An
Unusual Record

There is an exception to every rule
and King Cole, of the Chicago Cubs. Is
the exception to the rule that none but
twirlers of experience can attain a
winning percentage of over 800 i'm the
major leagues.
Cole came into the National league
unhoralded but soon became star.
1t was his grand pitching that won the
pennant for Frank Chance. When the
count of noses had been complete It
was found that this youngster had
won more than four flfths of his
games. Twenty victories had been
credited to, while only four defeats
were chalked against him.
When one stops to think over the
list of 800 pitchers in the days gone
by. the names of Spauldlng, Radbourne,
Hoffer, Hughes. Chesbro, Doheny,
Donovan. McGinnity, Wiltse, Reulbach
Brown, Lever Phillip, Camnitz, Ben
der, Mathewson and others come to
mind. Not one of this host of select
twrlers turned the trick during his
first year in fast company.

MORAN WORRIES
ABOUT MCCARTHY
LITTLE ENGLIsHMAN SAYS REF
EREE SHOULD HAVE STOP
PED FATAL BOUT IN SIX
TENTH ROUND.

Though owen Moran steadily has
been pursuing Ad. Wolgast for bat
tie for the title, that is not the only
thing on owens mind. II will be re-
membered that one afternoon last year,
Moran hit Tommy Mccarthy on the
jaw hard enough TO send him to the
mat and the little Californian was car
died.
The Englishman worries as much
about that affair now as he did when
the tragedy occurred, and try as he
may, he cannot help thinking of il.
Moran expresses genuine sorrow every
time McCarthy's death is mentioned
and he always is ready with an ex-
PLANTATION. Though he struck the blow
which caused the death of Mccarthy,
Moran maintains, as he always has
done, that the thing could have been
averted If the proper course had been
pursued
Moran declares that the bout should
have been stopped long before the
sixteenth round because Mccarthy had
been in bad shape for several rounds
previous to that one and beaten be-
yond hope. He denies the rumors that
the bout was fixed for the gamblers
and declares he could have won when
he pleased.
"Ill tell how it was" said Moran.
My manager Charley Harvey, came
10 nj 10 I
Mccarthy. My answer was No. The
kid was a nice boy and inexperienced
and l didn't want TO fight him for that
reason. But so much had been said
about Mccarthy that finally consent
ed to NEE: him.
Never a thought of defeat entered
my head. ! knew l could beat Tommy
from the time we matched And l liked
the boy and didn't intend to hurt him
If l could help il. But when I saw that
he was growing weak and almost help
less. | decided thau would end it
there and save the boy any needless
punishment. That was in the six
teenth round.
But let me tell you right here. II
wasn't my punching that killed that
boy. From the first round of the bat
tie, when / hit Mccarthy on his bad
ear the wound bled until he went to
the floor unconscious.
Later they examined Mccarthy at
the hospital and discovered a fracture
of the skull behind the left ear, the
very place / had hit him in the first
round and from which he had been
bleeding almost continuously for near
ly an hour"
Nov don't you think IL reasonable
to believe that Mccarthy died from
loss of blood as much as from the blow
/ delivered" said Moran. IT'S logical
TO assume that he did isn't it?"
