ut is hardly probable" said the
Chisholm man, shat any attempt will
be made to deny the fact that en-
ployes of the Oliver were induced to
acquire residence in the township
Of Balkan to control the election. I
believe 1t will be shown that without
the interest of citizenship such as
that represented by the Oliver en-
ployes, who are said to have been
summoned before the grand jury, a
condition would have prevailed in the
town of Balkan which would have re-
suited in considerable useless expen-
diture of public funds, the expense of
which would in the end have been
borne by the mining companies. No
business man would tolerate such a
condition for a moment"
The matter of, the colonization Of
voters in Balkan township is expected
to come before the grand jury tomor-
row. Defeated candidates for office
at the election are said to be respon-
sible for securing the grand jury in
vestigation.

SEES NEED OF
new HOSPITAL

j. L. Lewis, secretary of the Hib-
bling Commercial club, was in Vir-
ginia yesterday, familiarizing himself
with the need Of a county hospital.
He is firmly convinced that such an
institution is needed on the range and
he picks Wolf as the logical place for
it.
"A county hospital is a pressing
need in this section" said Mr.. Lewis.
II am just beginning to look into the
proposition. After talking with a
number of Hibbing merchants and
professional men have about come to
the conclusion that Wolf is the place
for it. There is big chance there
for an institution of the kind. How
ever, whether it goes to Wolf or not,
we should have one in the county, to
care for the farmers in the isolated
districts. am going into the question
thoroughly" r..
Mr.. Lewis is pronounced demo-
crat and he predicts great success
for his party in Minnesota this fall.
He will boost for Congressman Hann-
mon tooth and nail. Mr.. Lewis manag~
ed Wilson's campaign in Hibbing last
year and his efforts were crowned
with success. Secretary Lewis is one
Of THE live wires" Of the range AND
he is doing something continually for
the good of Hibbing and his club.

goodbye, Charles Anderson, 26 years
old, left Orr yesterday afternoon, went
to the shack Of Nestor Sillnapa, home
steader, about mile from town, and
shot himself.
Isaac Hill and John Maxi were in
the shack when Anderson arrived. He
appeared extremely nervous and when
he picked up his shotgun the men be-
came alarmed. Maxi ran to town to
summon officers while Hill engaged
in scuffle with Anderson in an at
tempt to wrest the weapon from him.
Hill finally obtained the gun and
broke the stock off against the door,
way and threw the weapon outside.
Anderson appeared enraged and ran
from the house and returned with the
broken weapon. (Which will it be-
he cried, '*you or me-"
Believing that he had damaged the
gun so that it would be useless, Hill
laughed at the man. Before he could
prevent the act, Anderson had placed
the muzzle in his mouth and pulled
the trigger.
Maxi and Officer James Green
arrived a moment later, but Anderson
was dead.
The: body was brought to Graham
& Eckes undertaking rooms in Vir-
ginia this morning by Christ Sam
