ditions in Europe. the smelter and
mines operated by the Nevada Con-
solidated Copper company have to

Whereas. Owing to such re-
duction in the operation of the
said company, the property valua-
ticn in the district effected by such
operations have decreased IN value
at least ten per cent; and

THE PEOPLE AND "FooL" LAWS.

The people always find some way
of getting around a fool law. In one
small country in Wisconsin there
have been "so,emnized' no less than
eight common-law marriages since
the ~so-called eugenic marriage law
was declared constitutional In that
state. The eommon-law marriage
! consists in little more than the
agreement on the part of the man
and woman, in the presence of wit
nesses. to accept each other as hus-
band and wife and TO assume the
responsibilities and privileges ordi-
rarily attached to such a union

the passenger train was tagged
The whole party was taken to Bi-
wabik for a hearing before Judge
Salmon.
The party had their hearing
Monday on their arrival at Biwabik
Several were fined while others re-
ceived straight Jail sentence.
One was fined SIS and costs and
two were given 90 days at the
county work farm for having veni-
son. One was fined SIS for netting
trout. Five were fined $40 and
costs for having short fish in their
possession. Two were sentenced to
80 DAYS at the county work farm
for netting fish.
There is considerable criticism
being circulated on the actions of
the warden in taking his prisoners
to Biwabik for trial instead of
allowing them to be heard here.
Another scource Of considerable
comment is the short fish clause in
the game and fish laws which
people without a rule or scale are
apt to run afoul of without inten-
ton of doing harm. There is not
much sentiment in favor of the
netter, dynamiter or sooner deer
slayer. The laws are very plain on
this matter and while the game and
fish laws are shrouded in mystery
to the layman, this portion relating
to the hunting season is particularly
plain. There is no excuse for
breaking this part Of the statutes.
Game Warden James brought in
Otto Tjader for the second time last
week and he was fined $25 and
costs. The first time Tjader was
fined $40 and costs for shooting at
a moose.
Peter Krze, who is claimed to be
the king of all the poachers in this
neck of the woods was given go
days at the county work farm and
was taken to Duluth to serve his
sentence Tuesday. It is said Krze
makes it business to supply moose
and deer to some of the boarding
houses in the locations.

tendents called to arrange basket
ball schedule for the schools of the
Vermilion and Mesaba ranges.

selected. This schedule gives
each team nine games, four away
and five at home we understand.
Before the business meeting a
sumptuous dinner was served to the
visiting superintendent, the girls
of the school filling the roles OF
mattresses. At 2:30 o'clock the

ANTON K0TCHEVAR
Dies in Duluth Sunday Of TubGr
CuIOsis After Short Illness

1t was with extreme regret that
the people learned of the death in
Duluth Sunday evening of Anton
Kotchevar of tuberculosis after an
illness of less than a year. Mr..
Kotchevar became afflicted with
quick consumption about a year
ago and Notwithstanding all that
medical science and others could
do he became constantly weaker
until Sunday when death put all
end to his suffering. The report
was circulated about town early in
June that Mr.. Kotchevar had died
and was published in several
papers but it was a mistake and he
revived sufficiently to lead to the
hope of recovery.
He spent considerable time at the
state sanitarium at Walker and
while there under the expert care
improved quite noticeably. Dur
ing the last few weeks he has been
under the care of a Duluth bath
specialist. Mrs. Kotchevar was
sent for several days ago, his con-
dition having become serious.
He was 48 years of age and has
resided in this city since the begin
ming of the town. He has held

FORFEIT GAME
Two HarbOTs Carries Away the
HOnOTS ON a Forfeit

The football battle between the
Two Harbors independent team and
Ely City team Sunday was battle
royal from start to finish and at no
time was anybody victor for the
Pbriefest time. The teams See
sawed over the field for the first
half and at no time in this half did
the ball come anywhere near a
touchdown on. either side.
In the beginning of the second
half the Ely boys by a succession
of line plunges left the impression
that they might score but this was
only brief and after few minutes
the teams were again on the see
saw. In the last quarter with only
affew minutes to play, Two Har-
bors smashed the line for the
fourth down near the Ely goal line.
The crowd rushed on the field and
when the space had been cleared
one of the referees decided it was a
touchdown while the other held it
was foot from the line when the
whistle blew for down and that it
was showed over after the whistle.
Each side was equally confident
and the game broke up in
wrangle. AS Two Harbors would
have lost the ball on downs had the
squabble not terminated the game,
it is hard to say how it would have
ended as there were only a few
minutes more to play.
Parties on the side lines, admir-
ers of both teams. were positive
the ball was not over the line
while others were equally positive,
it was. 1t was finally decided to
give the game to Two Harbors on
a score of one to nothing.
How this conclusion was reached
is hard to determine. IF the ball
was over, the visitors were entitled
to touchdown and if it was not
over, they were entitled to nothing.

WARDEN WOODS
Raids BURNSIDE Lake and Fifteen
are Arrested

Game Warden Woods with De-
puties Nord and Mckenzie made
considerable of haul on BURNSIDE
lake Sunday night when they ar
rested Is infractors of the game
laws. The arrests came as sur
prise to those who were caught as
no inkling was given of the
warden's presence in that country.
Sunday evening Warden Wood
and his deputies stationed them
selves at the portage and awaited
the coming of the hunters and
fishers that infest the lake every
Sunday. Immediately after dark
they began to arrive and all were
given the once over. Some were
allowed to proceed on their way
home and others placed under ar.
rest. Several had netted trout in
their possession, others had short
fish while others had venison in
their packs. Besides confscating
their bag, the warden also took the
guns, boats, canoes, nets and other
paraphernalia.
The party was quartered for the
night in the Outing Company build
ing on the portage the warden hav-
ing requisitioned the same for the
purpose and in the morning the
prisoners with the guns, boats,
etc., were taken to the track where

aldermen for several years, was

ly, the Catholic Foresters, St.

The funeral took place Wednes-
day afternoon from the Catholic
church and was one of the largest
ever held here. The members of
the several societies attended the
services at the Catholic church

VOTERS DECIDE
Tuesdays Election Marked With
Apathy Similar to Campaign

The election Tuesday was not
marked with particular life. The
entire campaign has not been pro-
ductive of much red FIRE and blaring
trumpets. Ely was not the only
place that refused to enthuse. All
over the state the same condition
prevailed. Local candidates in
several cities injected little ginger
into the proceedings but the larger
part were afflicted with apathy.
The old party enthusiasm was not
manifest by reason of the non
partisan features of the campaign.
The vote here was fair. How
ever the registration lists show
many names that do not appear in
the list of those present and voting.
There was tendency this year to
vote early and the majority of
voters had cast their ballot by noon.
The mines gave their employees a
half holiday after noon. The polls
were open until 9 O clock that even
ing. The Judges and clerks in the
several wards had a hard nights
work counting the ballots and max
ing out the several sets of returns.
The tabulating was completed at an
early hour Wednesday morning.
Ely ordinarily should cast over
600 votes. While the registration
lists showed COL names registered
the vote cast in the three wards
was 523. This showed the general
apathy that existed. Many old
timers failed to vote for the simple
reason that they were not interested
a strange condition to get into.
The Ely vote in the several wards
was as follows:

Indian Treaties

Reports from Washington indi-
cate that Indian Commissioner
Sells will not make a sweeping en-
forcement of the terms of the old
Indian treaties which would make
about one-fifth of Minnesota dry.
1t is believed that action will be
confined entirely to Indian COM
munities. Based on information
received from its Washington cor
respondent, the ST. Paul Dispatch
published the following editorial:
The Indian Commissioner is
expected to adopt the sensible and
conservative course in enforcing the
terms of the old Indian treaties.
This is indicated by his observa-
lions in conference with various
men who have sought to obtain his
views. BY enforcing the letters of
the law, Mr.. Sells would prove
himself narrow and prejudiced
without furthering the real pur-
pose of the treaties. It's spirit is
to keep alcoholic liquors from the
Indians and this the commissioner
may accomplish, as far as it is pos
sible. by a course directed entirely
to the Indian communities. He
has indicated that this is what he
will do. The people generally
will approve such decision. The
active prohibitionists will under
take to demur and demand literal
enforcement, but protest of this
character is not calculated to help
their cause generally or in this par
ticular instance. 1t is absurd that
conditions of sixty years ago
should be binding now. Doubtless
the Supreme Court gave the only
decision possible under the law and
unquestionably Commissioner Sells
must perform his duty. The only
solution is an early congressional
amendment to terminate the obso-
Ilete treaties. :"

wounded animal fell at the feet of
Nickson who tried to finish it by
striking with the butt end of his
gun. During the operation the
weapon was discharged and Nickson
received a load of shot near the
heart. Neighbors were at once
summoned but before their arrival
the young man died.
The remains were brought to the
