TRAINNlEN SAVE LIFE.

Bert Y eeks and Mike Nurick,

from certain death yesterday when
tne train was within a short distance
OF Mt. Iron on its run to Grand

AS the train was within a mile Of
the village the crew was startled by
the shrili blasts of the whistle. In
stinct4vely the boys made up their
minds that danger threatened. Lean
ing far out Of the vestibule of the
smoker they discerned, standing in
the middle of the track, around q
sharp curve in the rails, a little girl
scarcely three years of age, carry
ing In her hand pail full of berries.
Something had to be done and done
quickly. II the little ones life was
to be saved. Weeks and Nurick
rushed through the smoker, climbed
over the coal bunkers and out over
the engine to the cow catcher.
Weeks grasped the handhold with
one hand and with the other took
vice-like grip on Nurick's belt
while Nurick reached over and
grasped the child, lifting her to
safety when the death dealing loco
motive was within less than two
feet of her. The engine was stopped
within 100 yards of the spot where
the child stood.
The mother of the little girl,
with friends who were berry pick

her thanks.

hibbing Dally Tribune: What
will probably be the biggest crowd
gathered at any town on the Mesaba
range to witness a baseball game
will be assembled in Hibbing next
Sunday to witness the baseball game

That there is much interest all over

and Virginia team regarding the
game. 1t is stated that fully 20
automobiles will come from Eveleth
and Virginia, while there will ESQ
be big attendance from the west
ern end OF the range and several
autos will come from Grand RAPIDS.
The rivalry between the two clubs
has reached point of intensity
never before equaled in the history
of range baseball. Wagers are being
laid at even money in Hibbing that
the local team will win. The local
fans are confident that a crowd Of
fully 5000 people will be on hand.
Hibbing forfeited the last game to
Virginia when the club walked off the
field in tn eighth inning, protest
ing against decision by Umpire Nc
Cormick. The Hibbing team is prac-
ticing daily and will be in the best
form of the season.

RUNS DOWN SILVER GRAY !.
FOX WITH AUTO
o. HI. Griggs Gets Valuable Pelt in
Peculiar Manner While on Way
to Duluth Friday Morning.

o. H. Griggs, manager of the Vir.
ginia Electric Power and Water
Co., discovered a new manner OF
trapping on Friday morning last.
when with party of friends he
was on his way to Duluth. At a
point some ten miles south of Eye
leth he ran onto three young foxes -
a black, a red and silver gray. The
animals evidently were not acQuaint-
ed with the powers of the auto. as
when they sighted the machine they
came up close and commenced to
to run ahead of the car. Speeding
up little he gave them chase,
the red fox being the first to give
the car a clear right of way, while
the black fox came near sharing the
fate of it's gray brother, which de-
layed too long in deserving the
path and had its head caught be-
meath the wheels.
Mr. Criggs took the pelt to a Du
luth fullier to have same tanned
as memento of the trip. The pelt
of a full grown grey fox in prime
condition is $500 to 500, ad while
the animal killed was young and
not full grown, the pelt is a valuable
one.
While many cartridges and rab-
bits have fallen before the speed of
the auto on the range roads, this
is the first instance recorded of the
killing of fox in such manner.
