QUINCY MINER Is KILLED
BY FAIL OF ROCK TODAY

Oscar Peterson, a miner employed
at the quincy, met instant death at
about a quarter to three o'clock this
morning while at work I'm the No Z
shaft OF the mine. Peterson was en-
gagged I'm prying down some earth i'm
the Goth level north and finding that
he couldn't loosen II with his pick,
applied the machine. Hardly had he
started the hole when a huge mass of
rock fell upon him. forcing him against
an iron post and frightfully crushing
i'm his skull.
Coroner Fisher OF Calumet was
summoned and empanelled a jury
which held an inquest this morning
and returned a verdict Of accidental
death.
Peterson was 90 years of age and
had been employed at the Quincy for
period of about thirty years. He
leaves a wife. four sons and two
daughters. The sons are Arvid Of
Painesdale, Charles. in the United

HANCOCK COUNCIL MEETS
IN EMERGENCY SESSION

The common council was called to-
gether at four o'clock yesterday after
noon in an emergency session to take
action on the imperative need of re-
pairs TO the smoke stack of the lake
front pumping station in West Han
cock. The board OF public works had
its attention called to the condition
of the smoke stack by Engineer Will
liam Rentenbach and i'm company
with members of the council paid a
visit To the pump house and made an
investigation. The stock was found
to be badly corroded just below the
lower guy ropes, the steel being eaten
through almost two-thirds, weakening
it so that there is great danger of its
being toppled over by the first high
wind This would put the pumping
plant out of commission, condition
which it is realized would prove very
serious to the city.
The council is in favor of erecting a
chimney of brick to take the place of
the old stack, but in the meantime ii
is necessary to take steps to tempor-
arily strengthen the old stack, and
the board of public works was author
lied to take such action as they may
deem best. 1t is suggested that some
steel bands might be placed around
the stack at the weak points which
would serve until more permanent ar
rangements can be made.
The city hall committee was empow-
cred to install railing and vault fix
lures in the clerks office.
Electricity for Pump.
The council will hold another spe-
cial session on Thursday afternoon TO
take steps towards securing electricity
with which to operate the new electric
pump at the No. 2 station on the city
tract i'm West Hancock, and the mat
ter of arranging with the Houghton
County Electric Light company for
the necessary Juice" will be consid-
cred.

of Mr. Coughlin, who regards the
movement as an important one to be
productive of important results. The
sessions concluded last evening. IL be-
ing found necessary to continue them
over today. The next step to be taken
will be to provide ways and means for

Judge not a hen by her beauty, but
by the way she does her duty.
You may feed all the food your

short of grit, the results will not be

It is not good for hens to dust in
coal or wood ashes only, some folks
claim, but we find that few ashes
lightens up the dirt.
Noon is good time to supply the
stock with some green stuff, such as
cabbages or roots of any kind. The
latter can be cut in half, and the hens
will then pick them to pieces.

Drafts in the chickens home are
more dangerous when the fowls are
