Chisholm Boys Put up an
Excellent Game.

Notwithstanding the fact the
Chisholm quintet of football players
put up an excellent game with the
Ely boys at the Lincoln gymnasium
Saturday evening, the local boys
carried off the honors On score of
% to 10.
The game was fast and while at
times little rough to all appear
ances, the exhibition put up was
a good one and kept the two teams
on the jump all the time. CHS
holm had little shade the best of
the argument in the first half but
our boys Fingered" up after a
little rest and the result was plainly
forseen at the beginning of the
second half.
One of the star players of the
Chisholm team was young Hirstio,
who formerly resided with his
parents in this city. The game
was by all odds the best seen in the
gym this season and it must be
said, we have had some good ones.

HUNG HIMSELF
Despondent Man Chokes
Himself to Death.

Ephrian Stollberg, a native of
Sweden where he had been a sar-
gent in the Swedish army, COM
mitted suicide by strangling him
self to death in a box car in the
yards at Winton Sunday night.
Stollberg was stranger in this
vicinity and was in search of work.
He had just come out of a Duluth
hospital after a siege of typhoid
fever and was weak and without
funds. Not finding a job as soon
as expected he became respondent
and Sunday night, taking a cord he
went into a box car and strangled
himself to death by tying the cord
to the rafters and then laying down
in the slip knot around his neck.
The body was Dissolved by Mail
Carried Smith who had occasion to
go into the yards and the car Mon
day morning for hay. The man
had been dead for some time. The
remains were brought to Laing's
undertaking parlors and word sent
to his relatives who reside at Min
neapolis.
He was young man, % years
of age, and among his effects were
found his honorable discharge from
the Swedish army and many letters
from his people. His effects show
ed a thoroughess in every detail
which thoroughness was also mani
fest in his preparations for COM
uniting the desperate last act.

TRYING TO PROVE
SHE is A WIDOW
Woman Claiming Estate of
Dead Man Has Her Day
Before Judge Gilpin

Before Judge of Probate S. w.
Gilpin in Duluth Tuesday, Mrs.
David Kangas endeavored to prove
her right to the title of wife and to
the estate of David Kangas who
died two years ago, after passing
as single man during his residence
here. Kangas was frozen to death
while on hunting trip.
Mrs. Kangas presented MANY
letters from Kangas, in which she
was addressed as wife, received
by her while living in Finland.
She also offered a picture of herself
and Kangas and their two children
in group, but it was admitted
that the picture of Kangas had
been added to the group and re-
photographed. The wife did not
come to this country until year
after Kangas' death and the mar
riage certificate, the one thing
necessary to prove her claim, she
says is now in the hands of the
Maccabee lodge in which Kangas
was insured. and which requires
it as one of their proofs and will
not surrender it.

A Little Mixed

The Duluth Herald correspond

following. The item purported to
come from Ely but as this is the
first intimation anyone here has of
the desire to spend more time in
Duluth to shop, the item will be of
interest especially when the gist of
the whole agitationg was to get the
train into Ely earlier. The diff
fering views are also strangely
missing, the concensus of opinion
here being that the train should
come in at least an hour earlier, if
not more. The item said:

Stockholders Meet

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Ely-Idaho Gold Mining Co.. /,
was held at the Club rooms in this
city Wednesday evening and con-
siderable business was transacted.
The company is capitalized at
100000 shares, S1.OO par value.
They have 100, 900 shares in the
treasury and so, 900 shares will at
once be placed on the market for
sale.
The property on which the ex-
ploration work is going on is
known as the Gilt Edge Claims and
is located near Granville, Idaho,
and said to be one of the finest
looking propositions in that coun-
try.
The newly elected officers are as
follows:
Pres't-M. E. Gleason; Vice
Pres't-Wm. McCurdy; Sec. and
Treas Chas. Grabowsky; Directors
M. E. Gleason, Vim. McCurdy,
w. 7. James, M. J. Murphy

the country. He says there are
many crimes that never come to the
attention of the authorities. These
crimes are of greater or less i'm
portance. If a man were employed
whose duty it would be to look up
every case and hint that is brought
to the county attorneys Office,
there would not only be more
people brought to justice but the
number of convictions would run
even higher than at the present
time, he claims.
Mr.. Norton cites the present
case at Allen Junction as an ex-
cellent example of the need of a
county detective. Two years ago
Mr.. Norton tried to get bill into
the state legislature which would
permit detective to be hired and
set to work under the direction of
the county attorney. On the claim
that the county could not afford it,
the bill waskilled. Mr.. Norton pro-
poses to introduce it gain.

distinguishing mark. A party
consisting of the coroner, the two
brothers and others made some dis
coveries on the return from the
scene that clearly indicates a crime
most foul.
A half mile from the site of the
Newman camp was new trail lead
ing off the main path. About GO
feet away was found a sack of flour
containing flour sieve that was
identified by the brothers as belong
ing to their mother. At another
point about the same distance from
the main trail was found basket
which was later identified by peo-
pie there as belonging to the New
mans.
The absence of money, rings,
Mrs. Newman watch and Mr..
Newman hunting knife, as made
known following the search of the
ruins has thoroughly convinced all
the people in this region that Mr..
and Mrs. Newman were robbed and
murdered.

earlier than at present because of
requests from this section for the
change is received here with diff
fering views. Many say that if
the change is made it will prevent
Vermilion range people shopping
in Duluth as completely as at
present. 1t is claimed if the rail-
road would cut out some of the
stops between Two Harbors and
Tower about forty-four, sufficient
time would be saved to make the
trip here on the present schedule
and give shoppers more time in
Duluth"

Inspect Schools

Chief Cox and Assistant Chief
Hodge of the Ely Fire Department
last week inspected the school
buildings with the intention of
cooperating with the school board
in making the buildings as fire safe
as possible.
The High School and the Lincoln
buildings was found fully equipped
with salty appliances, exits and
everything tending to- cut the risk
to minimum. A few suggestions
were made regarding the Pioneer
building which will be remendied
as soon as possible. 1t was also
suggested that the water mains be
laid to this building as soon as
possible.
The Central building was the
source OF many recommendations
the small corridors, stairways,
exits, etc., being entirely made
quate for emergencies that, might
arise. These will be remedied as
much as can be under the cir
cumstances. The building is old
and was built when the town was
small and at that time met all re-
quirements which have since out.
grown the structure. The building
will probably be replaced with a
new one in time.

FOUL MURDER
Theory is Aged Newman
Couple We're FOully
Murdered.

Bert Soper, a Duluth & Iron
Range telegraph operator at Allen
Junction, who became alarmed at
not having seen Mr.. and Mrs. E.
A. Newman of Minneapolis, about
the Junction for few days, went
to the shack in which they lived a
few miles out and found nothing
but mass of ruins with the char
red remains of the aged couple
therein. Just when and how the
tragedy occurred is not known.
There is a theory they were muir
dered and robbed and the bodies
burned, as relatives in Minneapolis
claim they had about $500 in
money and jewelry. They had
been employed by ]. E. St. George
of Allen Junction, to take care of
his house and barns, and on the
last day that he saw Mr.. Newman,
Jan. %, he paid him SIS for his
and Mrs. Newman s services.
So far as known no suspicious
characters have been in the vicinity
of the Newman camp. The New
mans were apparently very quiet
people and came to the station only
on rare occasions when in need of
supplies, with the exception of the
few weeks that they were living at
the home of Mr.. St. George.
A son residing in Minneapolis
said his father and mother went to
the Mesaba range Nov. 10 to spend
the winter in the woods for their
health. They had taken about
5000 in silver and gold with them,
and each had a gold watch as
well as heavy gold rings. They
also had taken guns with them.
Two sons are now in the district
investigating the affair.
LATER-All the valuables said
to have been in the possession of
the aged couple are missing with
the exception of watch bearing
