TRAIN In MICHIGAN

CALUMET. Mich. Oct. Is. TT An
attempt was made today TO blow up
a kcweenaw Central passenger train
taking AZ mine guards to the Mo-

to Engineer Cooking, who detected
the burning fuse and stopped his
engine. A section of the track was
blown out
Following the explosion several
hundred strikers surrounded the
train. They were in a threatening
mood but trouble was ayerted by
mounted troops hurriedly sent to the

tear down scaffolding on a
barn near Pleasant dale, N. T..
Angelo Martucci, a mason's
helper. climbed to the roof yes
day. Losing his footing he slid
from the roof and fell into a
mortar bed about IS inches
deep.
Both his ankles were sprain-
ed and he could not rise. He
lay on his back. supporting
himself with his hands to keep
his head out OF the mortar.
He yelled for help, but none
came.
The mortar began to harden
about him. All through the
morning and into the after
noon he lay in the mortar, only
his head sticking out. Mark
Peletto, his employer, found
him in the afternoon.
SO hard had the mortar be-
come thai Martucci had to be
dug out witha pick. He was
taken to a physician for treat
ment.

At this time it will be interesting
reading and help throw some light on
the subject to state that under Governor
Hawley there was appropriated for
various state purposes $1,912,3OS I'm
der Gov. Haines $2,349, 400, which is
'$427,09 more for state purposes un-
der the Haines administration than the
Hawley, notwithstanding the special
session Hawley called.
Thus it will be seen that Governor

Investigation disclosed that our tel

the highest in the world.
"The telegraph companies seem to
be lacking in institutional economy or
efficiency. The operation of sending
a telegram is loaded down with "A in
cidental services and processes, not less
than so of which would be replaced by
affixing the postage stamp. The Ameri-

by the duplication Of telegraph offices

the denial of the service at many thous-
and necessary points.

The local rates of the Bell telephone
