TERRIBLE DUTCHMAN FAILS TO
MAKE GOOD WITH TOM SHAW

Harry Faust, who wrestles at 200
pounds and is known to the followers
of the mat game as "The Terrible
Dutchman," failed to defeat Tom
Shaw of Hibbing and Virginia in an
exhibition match at Hibbing last Fri
day night. Shaw wrestled at 160
while the German weighed in at 200.
He agreed to throw Shaw three times
in an hour and won the first fall. The
big German adopted rough tactics to
get the first fall, and Shaw took the
second fall from him in 20 minutes.
Faust offered to wager 500 he could
win a finish match two in three falls,
and will be accommodated. Although
greatly outweighed Shaw put up a
fine exhibition and won favor with the
crowd. Shaw is willing to meet any
man in the country at his weight and
will give away weight to range wrest-
lers. Communications regarding bouts
with him should be addressed to Chief

SAND LAKE FISHERMEN
CATCH NICE STRINGS

Louis NJ. Osborn, who has constitut-
ed himself press agent unto the pop
ular summer resort of Sand Lake, is
this week showing his friends some
fine photographs recently taken at the
lake, giving contradiction to the pop
ular belief that there are no fish at
Sand Lake. Robert and Donald Cap
stick and two Of the employees at the
Virginia Great Northern station are
shown in one picture with record
catch of pickerel, some Of which are
exceptionally fine specimens. Vir-
ginia people have had pike and black
bass fry planted in Sand lake for the
past four years. Some few pike have
been taken there this year, while small
bass have been caught by fishermen.
Mr.. Osborn and others are interesting
themselves in having new road built
into the lake, from the county road,
which will be a considerable conven-
ience to the summer colony and will
make it more easily accessible for Vir-
ginia people. The road will be COM
pleted by next spring. Sand lake is
located Is miles.from Virginia, and a
large number of Virginia people now
have summer homes there.

DERRICK FAILS FROM FOURTH
STORY OF BANK BUILDING

A derrick used to hoist material to
the fourth floor of the new First Ma
tional Bank building was cast loose
from it's moorings by the wind and fell
to the street below at o'clock last
Monday afternoon. The new build
ing is located at the corner Of Chest
nut street and Wyoming avenue, in
one of the busiest sections of the city.
For the first time during the day
there did not happen to be anyone
passing the front at that time. The
heavy timbers and windlass crashed
into pile of sand and was somewhat
wrecked. There are few hours Of the
day that someone is not inspecting the
building, and it was fortunate indeed
that no one was standing about when
the apparatus fell to the ground.

LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM
IS DISBANDED TUESDAY

The Virginia Northern league base
ball team was disbanded Tuesday and
most of the players have already left
the city for their respective homes.
The rangers won the long end Of their
series with the Hibbing and Mohami
teams of the Trolley league. The
Trolley league teams put,.up a fast ar
ticle of baseball and some of the
games were as good as have been seen
in the city this season.
The Mohamis will probably play
games with Hibbing and international
Falls before disbanding for the season.
They stand second in the Trolley
league percentage column.

STORK CHEATS THE DEATH
ANGEL FOR MONTH OF AUGUST

The vital statistics on file at the
Office of DR.. Grove, health officer,
shows that the stork is several de-
grees ahead of the death angel in
the city of Virginia for the month
of August. During that month there
were 26 births and IA deaths. The
stork especially favored the Finnish
homes of Virginia. Vital statis-
tics for the past seven months show
that the stork has a longer lead so
far for the year 1913 than ever be-
fore in any period in the history of
the city.

WILL SUE THE
SCHOOL BOARD
Teachers Discharged Will Insist They
Had Contract Which Has Been
Abrogated.

Miss Marion O. West, Miss Ida E.
Henry and J. M. Partridge, three Of
the teachers whose designations were
recently requested by the school board
on the ground that they would be in
harmonious with the present admins
tration of school affairs and who fail
ed to tender the required designations
and were subsequently discharged by
the board when it adopted formal
resolution to that effect, will bring
SUIT against the school board for
breach of contract.
All three of the teachers arrived in
the city the first of the week and re-
ported to DR.. Colgrove for duty Tues
day, when they were informed that
the instructions of the board were that
they should not be given their old
places. DR.. Colgrove was asked If he
would acknowledge that they had re-
ported for duty and informed them
that he would.
Miss West and Miss Henry have re-
tanned Judge R. J. Montague to repre-
sent them in suit against the board
for breach of contract. Mr.. Partridge
will also seek legal counsel and will
probably be represented by Mr.. Mon.
tague.
The suit will be begun on the last
day of the present month and will be
for the amount of the salaries which
the teachers were to receive. Miss
Henry was to receive $85 a month
and Miss West, formerly grade super
visor, was to receive $105 month
The school board will fight the case
Its contention is that the teachers new
er were given contract. The teach
ers claim damage on the ground that
they were hired by the board ane
then notified that they had been dis
charged after the season had passed
when good positions are open to teach
ers, and consequently will be thrown
out of employment for considerable
time.
The outcome of the case will b.
watched with interest all over tn
state as the point raised is one il
which there is a coflict Of legal opin
ion and is of especial interest to al
teachers.

BATTLER SPENDS TWO DAYS
IN CITY JAIL THIS WEEK

Anton Maxi, a resident of the Sec
ond ward, was arrested at his home
Saturday night following a fight with
Charles Hanula which threatened to
have sanguinary ending when inter-
rupted by the police. Maki's place
has recently been the scene of several
battles. He was taken to jail and
compelled to remain there until Tues
day morning, on account Of the Labor
Day holiday. His wife and little son
spent most of Monday morning at the
station pleading with the officers for
his release. Hanula was not arrest
ed but when the story came out in
court Tuesday Judge Carey decided
that he was equally guilty with Maxi,
and each was assessed a fine and costs
amounting to $27.50.

reported that high grade ore has been

MAYOR MURPHY WOULD RESIGN
IF LIGHT PLANT Is PURC CHASED
Head City Government Well Pleased With Outcome Of the In
junction Against Sale of Bonds State Supreme Court
Judge Hughes Sustained Of the Court Not Yet
Received in Virginia.

Mayor M. A. Murphy of Virginia,
staunch municipal ownership advo-
cate, is willing to sign his resignation
as mayor of th@ city Of Virginia as
soon as the necessary details for the
acquiring of tho plant of the Virginia
Electric Power & Water company by
the city is completed. In the event
that further litigation is haEposed
to prevent the sale of the bonds for
the purchase of the plant Mr.. Murphy
will again go before the people as
candidate for mayor with the purchase
of the plant as the issue. He is conf
dent that the people will again endorse
him on that ground.
This much Mr.. Murphy indicated in
an interview Tuesday morning dis
cussing the decision of the supreme
court upholding the decision of Judge
Martin Hughes in the application Of
Joseph Backus for an injunction re-
straining the city council from the
sale of the bonds. The opinion Of the
court in the matter had not reached
the city on Tuesday, but the news OF
the decision of the case favorably to
the city was authentic.
There is much speculation as to
whether or not the matter will now be
dropped and the city allowed to pro-
ceed to acquire the plant. Whether
or not further litigation to the end of
delay will be undertaken cannot be
definitely learned. It is said, how
ever, that despite the stipulation in
the case just decided there are several
avenues in law by which the matter
could be kept in the courts. The sim.

INDIANS HAD A GREAT
HOLIDAY AT COUNTY FAIR

A band of about 80 Indians, men,
women and children, passed through
the city Monday returning to the Nett
Lake reservation from the county fair
at Hibbing, where their camp and
dancing was one Of the amusement at
fractions at the fair last week. The
Indians realized handsomely from
their sale of bead fancy work and
greatly enjoyed the holiday. A big
band of squaws spent Monday morn
ing walking up and down Chestnut
street, inspecting the display windows
of Virginia stores, and there were a
good many grunts of dissatisfaction
when it was found that the stores
were closed and purchases of fnery
were impressed because it was Labor
Day. The Indians were we'll pleased
with the treatment they received at
the hands of fair officials.

ton now being carried on; by G. A.
Davis, of national bureau Of mines,
Washington, D. c., nationally known
as a mineralogist, comes up to expec-
tations. Mr.. Davis has been in Duluth
for about a week, and will make his
headquarters there during the next
month while making tests.
VII. Emmons, head Of the geology
department of the University of Min
nesota, will cooperate with the gov
ernment experts in their work. Pro-
fessor Emmons, following weeks
tour Of the Mesaba range as guest
Of the Lake Superior Mining Institute,
declared that there was an abundance
of peat all through the territory COW
cred by the mine experts. Two or
three years development would give
the northwestern states q peat indus
try that compared with the European
industry, he said.
Peat bogs Of Europe have been used
for years as a source of fuel, fertll-
izer and by-products of various kinds.
Compressed peat, closely related to
Ignite coal, is used for fuel in Ire
land and on the Scandinavian penln-
sula more than anything else.
"Americans have never realized the
value of their enormous peat fields,
said Mr.. Davis, "and if this survey
shows that the bogs are extensive
enough, it would give that part of the
country an industry second only to
that of ore production. The develop
ment is not matter of months. There
are thousands of acres of bog in
northern Minnesota and just across
the Canadian line, and we feel sure
that the results of our tests will be
surprising to the average business
man."
eve plan to follow the European
methods as closely as possible, as they
have developed a highly perfected sys'
tenn of production" said Mr.. Davis.
The. climate in northern Minnesota
is ideal for peat growth, according tt
mineralogists, being very similar t
that of Ireland, where there are near
ly 100000 acres Of bog. The resul
of the joint investigation of the stat
and national mineralogists will be in
corporated in report to the head O.

plest of these would be an application
for q rehearing. Upon what grounds
this might be based cannot be deter
mined until the opinion Of the supreme
court judges is available.
It is also possible that the acquisi-
ton of the plant might be stayed by
litigation over the value Of the i'm
provements made since the Burns &
Mcdonnell report, while there are
other technicalities that might also be
taken advantage Of to operate for de-
lay.
In the meantime the whole matter
stands in allegiance until such time as
the opinion of the supreme court, bas-
ed on it's decision, is at hand.
The news of the decision of the in
junction suit favorably to the city was
received with much satisfaction by
Mayor Murphy and his supporters last
Saturday. They are hopeful that the
matter will now be dropped.
The hght, it is said, in large meas.
ure has been personal one against
the mayor and it is possible that his an
, nouncement that he will not again b.
candidate if the purchase Of tht
plant is permitted, if favorably receiv
ed, will reconcile two very bitter fac
