MURDER AT AMASA
Man Shot Dead ina Drunken Quarrel last
Monday.

4 MOnQay
Jacob Kangos was shot and instantly
killed by Andrew Lahti in drunken
row at the house Of the latter at Amasa
last Monday. Kangos came 20 Crystal
Fails last Saturday and returned to
Amasa Sunday night, carrying with
him gallon of booze ..most of which
was IN the shape of Hoffman Drops. {"
He went TO Lahti's place with com
panion and the men were drinking all
day Monday. Along towards the even
ing they got TO quarreling and as re-
suit of the quarrel the fatal shot was
fired. Lahti ran out of the house after
the shot Dut was taken into custody
later he seems to have, no remorse
over his terrible act and seeks TO justi-
fy his action by self defense although
the testimony is all in the direction OF
a cold blooded murder.
Lahti's story is that they were
drinking together that Kangos was
quarrelsome and had on other occasion.
visited Lahti's house and caused
trouble; that Kangos threatened him
by saying ''Ih make you eat naiIs~ !;
that he Lahti) became frightened at
that and because 4anti was swinging
his arms as if ne meant to cut his
antagonist with a knife that he first
ran out Of the house TO avoid Kangos
bnt changed his mind and decided TO
'rnn his own house that he returned
to the house and on continuance Of
the trouble he reached for his rife and
fired the fatal shot without bringing
the gun 10 his shoulder
There was one witness 10 the affair
and, as nearly as we can learn from that
witness, Kangos and the witness were
seated on the floor Of the living room
OF the Lahti house Lahti WIS in his
bed room, distance of ten or twelve
feet away when he claims that he be
came frightened 10y the swinging OF
kangos' arms and when the shot was
fired Kangos had just risen and Lahti
was standing in the bedroom.
The murderer was taken to the coun-
" Jail and will be tried at the coming

CITY ENGAGED AN
ENGINEER FOR A YEAR
POLICY OF HIRING A MAN FOR A FEW
MONTHS ABOLISHED
ADVOCATES CITY sCAvfHGER
Health Officer Larson Say, That the Pub
lie Health Cannot be Ssisguarded
BY Any Other Plan.

The city council met at the council
chambers last Monday evening in the
regular monthly session and consider.
able business was transacted.
The usual grist OF bills was ground
out among them the bill for services
OF the engineer Harris, whom the city
had working for them early in the
month. This bill created great deal
OF discussion but was finally settlea AZ
$75.
Another matter that came up was the
Tromblay claim for damages resulting
from the water which flows down the
alley in the spring The Volume this
year was reinforced by lot of ice that
accumulated at the drinking fountain
from the bursting Of pipe. Mr..
Tromblay claimed damages 10 the ak.
tent OF S40O which the council refused
to pay. The city attorney was EN-.
powered to call upon Mr. Tromblay
and settle at what the actual damage
was as reported by the committee
which investigated the claim advised.
Perhaps the most important action
taken was that OF hiring city en-
gineer. The city has been in bad shape
as regards engineering work. A man
would be hired for short time and
when he left he would leave no records.
Another man would be- hired next wear
and he would have different idea.
SO the thing has run along until today
the city finds itself without any records
and with very irregular grades. Mr..
Edyvean was secured by the street
committee and consented 10 do the
work for the city provided no was
given employment for year. The
question was threshed out at great
length by the council members and II
was finally decided to hire Mr.. Edyvean
for year provided. OF course. that he
IS able TO handle the Job and. as Mr..
Edyvean has given very satisfactory
results on the county engineering corps.
there is no question but that he will
handle the work satisfactorily.
IL is proposed to keep the engineer at
work during the summer and fail
months surveying out the streets. water
mains. electric light lines, etc. etc.
and during the winter months he will
make drawing and compile records
80 that the city will know where they
are at and any new man taking hold
'an easily contnne where Mr. Edyvean
leaves of
A petition signed by 20 electors was
presented to the council asking that the
question Of selecting city officers by
iirect vote be put mp to the people to
'ote upon at the August primary The
matter was in correct form AMI the
people OF the city viii have the chance
o say II they wish TO nominate their
mayor. clerk, treasurer and justices by
hat method.
Heretofore these officers have been
'hosen by convention but conventions
ire going out Of fashion aud IL is quite
certain that next spring the city
,fiicers will be chosen by direct vote.
