ing on the business sagacity Of the

DIR. LENONT ATTENDS
AURORAITE ACCIDENTALLY
WOUNDED BY VIRGINIAN

DR.. Charles B. Lenont, Of the Le-
mont Hospital, returned Tuesday
morning from his Aurora hospital,
where he operated on Matt Axelson.
a homesteader and trapper who was
accidentally wounded in the right
breast by bullet shot by Mark Ell
lott, Jr., son of Mark Elliott, a local
mining man, who mistook his target
for a grey wolf. The accident &C.
Cured Monday near the Mesaba sta
ton, where young Elliott and a party
of friends were camping.
Axelson was Immediately taken to
the Aurora hospital where nothing
is being left undone to save his life.
Young Elliott, who attends the
Technical High school, is very much
affected over the accident and to-
gether with his parents is doing
everything possible to aid Axelson.
The bullet fired is not taught to
have penetrated vital organ, and
Axelson's recovery is looked for.
Axelson was wearing an odd fur cap
and gray mackinaw at the time of
the shooting, this lending a re-
semblance to a gray wolf.

NO run" FOR THE

JOB NECESSARY
Immediately following the conven-
ing Of congress came the news of the
reappOintment of Mrs. Mary H.
James as postmistress in this city,
thus relieving long routine of wor-
ry on the part of at least one certain
republican and a shorter term of
worry on the part of several of the
faithful who were enlisted in the Will
son-Marshall column during the late
campaign.
Mrs. James has been holding for
almost two years without appoint
ment, and the action of Congressman
Miller in presenting her name even
at this late date meets with general
approval on the part of Virginians
as whole, although it is to be pre-
sumed there are certain few who
cussed Jadam Bede for not appoint
ing them some years ago and who
have not forgotten how to say few
things because later congressman
have forgotten their existence or
have placed them in the proper scale
in the community, will not appreciate
the action.
