Gave Them the Maximum Penalty.

Charles Melodrowski, convicted
of second degree murder, and Algot
Johnson, convicted of murder in
the third degree in connection with
the killing of an officer in Duluth
four weeks ago, were on Saturday
sentenced by Judge Cant in district
court, the penalty inflicted in either
case being the maximum, a life
sentence for Melodrowski and thirty
years for Johnson.
In the case of the latter there is a
we'll defined idea that justive erred,
inasmuch as there is naught to
show the youth ever so much as
drew a gun, let alone firing or hav.
ing hand in the actual commission
of the crime of murder. But the in.
justice of justice at times is clearly
proven by the account in the dailies
of the same date recording the
sentencing of the Duluth boy ban.
dts by the account of a Chinaman
at Houghton, Mich, drawing a
sentence of one year for criminal
assault on twelve year old girl
Had the sentences of the Chink and
the Johnson boy been reversed, i,
would seem justice would have
been better subserved.

Yep, Just Lynn.

What were the republican and the
democratic state conventions doing
when they pledged themselves last
fall and summer in their party plat
forms unequivocally to reappor-
tionment? Were they just lying to
catch votes?
The democratic platform declared
1--WE are unequivocally in favor of
reapportionment." Yet on the first
vote in the state senate this week,
every democratic senator but one
voted against reapportionment.
The republican platform declares
specifically for reapportionment at
this session.
If reapportionment fails at this
session it will brand both parties as
totally false and insincere in their
political PROMISES Hibbing Tri.

$4,000 Case Thrown Out Of Court.

The trial of the cause of Adolph
Gustafson against the. Republic
Iron & Steel Company for the sum
of $4,000 for alleged injuries receiv
ed while in the employ of the de
fendant company in April last, &C.
cupied the attention of the court
and jury of twelve for over two
days this week, but the attention of
the jury was an unnecessary ad-
junct at the close of the case, Judge
Hughes taking the matter from the
jury and directing verdict in favor
of the defendant.
This action met with general ap-
prevail by those in attendance at
the sessions, who had formed a
mental vision of the jury cutting
OFF the last three ciphers of the YER

cutting off the first figure OF the
amount allegedly due and permit.

PLAYED 10 a Packed House.

While the accommodations offer.
ed the Castle Square numb Der on the
Lyceum program was scarce in
keeping with the accommodations
offered by the Auditorium at the
time of their visit year ago, Super
intendent Bliss had arranged the
gymnasium in the Technical 80 az

the appreciation of our people and
their remembrance of the troupe
was shown by the fact that every
seat in the room was occupied. And
the repeated encores rendered the
various numbers was evidence of
the fact that they may expect an
other packed house at any future
time they may play Virginia.

MT. IRON BADLY SCORcRED
Fire Wipes Out Three Business Buildings
in the Little Town Tuesday Evening",

Else originating through a defec-
tive gasoline lighting plant in the
Charmoli & Charmoli market at
Mountain Iron at shortly after five
o'clock Tuesday afternoon wiped
out three business buildings, to-
gether with the greater part of the
stocks contained therein.
The losers were Charmoli & Char
moli, meat market and grocery, and
Andrew Saari, general store, the
property burned being practically
a loss to the owners but little in
surance being carried.
Advice from the Mountain took
Chief Thayer and a company of
picked men from the Virginia Fire
Department to the scene, together
with 1000 feet of hose, and it was
due to their efforts in large part
that the loss was not far greater, az
the fire threatened additional build.
ings in the business section.

Executive Committee Gets Action.

Attorneys N. B. Arnold of this
city and Joseph Austin of Chisholm
left Tuesday for St. Paul, where they
appear in behalf of a general bill
affecting the recently launched
county division movement, provid-
ing tor vote on division at one
election and the selection of coun.
ty seat at subsequent election.
The question of county seat was
injected into the last fight for di.
vision of St. Louis county with a
vigor born OF political shrewdness,
and had much to do with the defeat
of most worthy proposition. II
the bill as proposed can be had, IT
will eliminate this element of the
coming fight, permitting all points
in the new county to vote peaceful.
ly on the original proposition and
save their venom for their neigh.
bors until it be called for in the
county seat contest.
And while Virginia has been &C.
cused by some of those whose opin-
ions are based upon political pap
and county printing not covered by
contracts with favoring county d.
vision purely from selfish interests
az prospective county seat, let all
rid themselves of this notion. Vir-
ginia wants county division first;
after that she will in all likelihood
be in the county seat fight, and will
be there 10 win if possible.

LuNDSTROM ON POLICE
and FIRE COMMISSION
Mayor nawkinson Makes Appointment to
FIJI Vacancy Caused by Resignation
Of Axel Lund, Same Being
Confirmed.

The appointment of Chas. w.
Lundstrom as a member of the
police and fire commission, to fill
the vacancy caused by the resigna.
ton of Axel Lund some weeks ago
at the time of his removal from the
city, was presented to the council
by Mayor Hawkinson Tuesday
evening, being duly confirmed by
that body. Mr.. Lundstronl is mum
bered among the oldest residents of
the city, coming here from the Yer
million, and his appointment will
meet with popular appreciation. He
is man who is known as clean.cut,
and any official act will be based
upon principle, purely.
Petitions for the proper lighting
of the North Side Addition were
presented the council and referred
to committee. This part of the city
certainly needs the light for which
the petitioners seek, and while the
council may not see fit to give the
residents of that section the CON-
plete system asked there is little
doubt the lighting system will be
extended to accommodate the addi.
ton insofar as possible.
A report from T. NJ. Wall, plumb
ing inspector, reported two Jobs
done in the city by outside work
men who had not only failed to OBJ
tain proper license for the work but
had also practically denied an in
spection. One of these jobs is that
being done on the new court build
ing, and the matter was referred to
the city attorney with power to act.
Bonds submitted by w. E. Han
naford and D. E. Cuppernull, in the
sum of $500 each, in the matter of
printing contracts for the ensuing
year, we're presented and accepted
upon approval of the mayor and
city attorney.
The ordinance establishing street
grades in the North Side Addition
received it's third and final reading
and was adopted by unanimous
vote.
The ordinance regulating the l1q-
uor attic in the city and providing
for license fee of $1,000 per year,
received its second reading, no
amendments thereto being offered.
This ordinance will likely be adopt
ed at the next meeting, but will not
become effective until February
23rd. In the meantime three addi.
tional licenses will come under the
wire with $500 fee, drawing lucky
numbers in this case.
Tritchler & Co. being the lowest
bidders for the work of caring for
the white way, we're awarded the
contract for this work.
Final estimates were allowed the
H. L. Bartlett Company and p. Nc
Donnell on paving work done under
contract of June 18th, last, each of
the contractors filing a release to
any further claims.
