City Politics

From mntterings heard upon the
street corners. IL looks as If there will
be some election in Crystal Falls
city the coming year Early mutter-
ings often sumner down ana tizzle out
and the same may be the case this
year. The talk so far is a clean sweep
with new broom doing duty.
Mayor Bjork will undoubtedly not
again be candidate He ddn' want
to run last year but was forced
into It by the urgent request Of his
friends. Mr.. Biork has been mayor OF
Crystal Falls -four years and Crystal
Falls has much 10 thank him for He
has given the city very much OF his
time and attention and many improve
ments are directly dne TO his efforts
Il was his desire to leave the city its
new hall az q memorial of his work
and il il regrettabe that the tangle in
the deed to the property kept him
from doing 80 as he has excellent ideas
on construction and would have been u
valuable man 70 the city while the
building WAS in rourse Of erection.
Mr.. Biork nas been criticised by
some because Of the taxes but that is
not fair 10 him. He had no more to
do with the fixing ot values on the
local board of review than each and
every other person who sat upon the
board and even il he had advocated
high valuations his wish could easily
have hecn overturned by the vote Of
the supervisors As TO the lowering
Of assessments by the tax commission
Mr. Bjork had nothing 20 do with that.
It came from Cleveland and was at
tended 20 by the attorneys of the com
pany and by Gen Mgr. Hopkins. Mr..
Bjork Is an employee oil the operators
of the mine and IL is not fair TO hold
him personally for acts OF his people.
This position is generally understood
and Mr. Biork retires from office with
the good will OF the big majority OF
the people Of the city
We learn that VIM Nesbitt il agair
TO be candidate for the position and
that he will soon make his announce
ment Mr.. Nesbitt was candidate
against Mr.. Biork last year and was
defeated hy small margin in one oi
the cleanest aud friendliest campaigns
ever carried on in this city
No candidates have been mentione,
tor the offices below Mayor: clerk
treasurer and the ward officers but th,

Eagles Christmas Party

one Of the most notable events in the
history of Eqgledom in Crystal Falls
was the Childrcns Christmas Eve
party held in Eagle Hall last Tuesday
afternoon and evening. Those who
had the privilege Of looking In on the
scene from late In the afternoon till the
early hours Of the evening will carry
away a picture that will remain in
their memory for years 20 come and
il will remain an event in the memory
OF the little ones who participated in
the Joys anil festivities of the day never
t6 be forgotten. The hall was lavishly
decorated, in fact il is doubtful IL ever
before such a picture of Fairyland WAS
seen in this city. The arch OF well
come. which presented snch an impos-
ing appearance on Labor Day last, was
standing over the Junior Vice Presi-
dents station and was the most con
spicuous and beautiful feature in the
general plan of the decorations The
arch itself was dream picture in
white and green. relieved by touches
Of crimson and from the pillars hung q
beautiful transparency, bearing in
glittering letters the hearty welcome
OF good old ld40 10 It's young guests, A
Merry Christmas and A Happy New
Year to Our Young Eagles 1912. The
President station was converted into
woodland bower. from the branches OF
whose trees was seen peeking through
the Jolly face of dear old Santa Clans,
the whole forming striking picture.
especially when the time came Tor

eager and excited band of little ones
that crowded around the big electric

Booth TO the doors were two banquet
tables, literally groaniDg with the
weight of good things 70 eat. and the
eager and bright faces gathered a.
round the festive board sent JOY and
happiness into the hearts of the Older
ones who witnessed the scene. God

TWO WAFFEN REPORTS
One Whiiewashes and the cther Oissents
Both Filed With Judge

We are informed from Iron River
that two reports have been filed with
Judge Flanagan i'm the Waffen matter.
The majority report says that there Is
no evidence and X is signed by M. H.
Mouarty. Chas. H. Watson and Fred
Fl. Abbott. The secund one dissents
from the majority report and asks that
further investigation be made. The
second report is signed by w Byers
and +. r. Lott.
What the next step will be in the
matter is not known. Il Is mp 10 the
Judge 10 gay. If Judge Flannigan feels
that the matter should be probed fur
ther be will direcr an inquiry but IL he
feels that the majority OF the commit
tee are right in their belief that there
Is no evidence ne will let the matter
drop where IL If.
The case has aroused a lot of interest
in the county and aIl over the peninsu.
In. owing 20 the fact that Mr. Waffen
was but recently chosen to the Office Of
prosecuting attroney Of the county.
The sentiment upon the streets Il
very divided but neither faction can
say positively that the complaints
made against Mr.. Waffen are true OF
untrue. II was the general wish that
the public be put right and many al
hoped that Waffen would be vindicated
by the inquiry.

SHOT A MAN IN THE BACK
Sheriff tiolmss Showed Tact in Getting
him After he had Threatened TO
XII Himself.

We mentioned briefly a shooting that
occurred nc Amasa last week just be-
fore we weht to press Saturday. Later
information developed the fact that the
man who did the shooting was John
Huntala wood chopper at Boyle *
Uoss. camp, Balsam. The fellow was
living 3n shack with two other wood
choppers and went insane. His part
ners. one of whom was brother. went
to Amasa and reported the man 3 con-
dition TO Supervisor Hughes who i'm
mediately telephoned to Sheriff Holmes
but the men did not tell Mr.. Hughes
what camp the fellow was at so the de
puties and the sheriff were delayed
several hours In getting accurate infor-
nation as to the man s whereabouts.
In the mean time Huntala started
ont for Amasa and went out 20 the
farming settlement north Of the village.
He went 10 the house OF his brother
and tried TO get riffs but that was
denied him. He succeeded in some
way in getting hold Of a revolver and
cartridges aud started back for the viii
lage. On the way he met Victor
Wnoromaa and stopped 70 talk with
him. The two men talked few mo-
ments and botn walked on together
When they got about twenty peces a.
long Huntala dropped back and shot
the latter in the back.
The bullet entered just TO the right
of the back bone and followed "a RIB a
round 10 the front of the body where IL
was located.
After ne did the shooting Huntala
cut of through the woods for Balsam
and went to his shack where he stayed
over night, the officers having left that
ulace 10 search for him in the vicinity
OF Amasa. Early in the morning he
boarded freight train and went TO
Charming where he stayed over night
and came back the next day
Sheriff Holmes was right on his trail
and arrived there soon after the fellow
got 20 his camp; wood chopper came
up 20 Balsam and reported 1t also that
the man was armed and claimed that
ne would shoot himself and anyone
who dared enter the shack. He had
scared away from the place his part
ners, all being satisfied that he meant
what he said. Mr. Holmes was not
deferred. however. He and Mr. Boyle
went to the mans place in company
with the brother Mr.. Holmes tried
pacifying the man. He told the
brother what to say to him in Finnish
and after short parley the insane man
came ont Of his own accord and gave
himself ap. He had hid the gun under
the floor and such complete control did
Mr.. Holmes have over him that ne
went back and got 1t for the sheriff.
The man was taken 10 CRYSTAL Falls
and lodged IN jail TO await an inquiry

ted 10 the asylum at Newberry,
