Auto owners and other users OF
gasoline will be interested TO learn,
although not pleased that gasoline

two cents, and decided to impose a
tax OF fifty cents per horse power on

the tax shall be paid by the jobber or
dealer.

LOCAL AUTHORITIES RETURN FROM
HOUcHTOH WITHOUT MEN
CASE is STILL A PUzzLER
Developed During Week That Man
Murdered Near Iron River
Has Double

That the man who was murdered
near Iron River on October 3rd and
who was later identified as Wade
Lancar, woodsman, has a double
was brought to light last Tuesday
when Sheriff Sensiba and Deputy
Sheriff John Tromblay went TO Calu.
met to get the two suspects who we're
held there under orders from Iron
county authorities.
When the two Iron county officers
arrived in Calumet they immediately
charged the two suspects, Engas
Rasvoac and Engas Gustovich with
numbering their companion, Wade
Lancar.
The case then became peculiar. The
two alleged murderer" then pro-
duced Lancar, who was supposed to
have been the victim Sheriff Sensiba
examined the three men and, after
considerable qestioning he became
satisfied that Gustovich and Kasovac
were innocent and ordered them dis
charged. Mr.. Sensiba and Mr.. from
blay returned home Wednesday night
from the copper country without the
men, who are said to all bear good
regulations up there.
From these proceedings. officials
work out the theory that Lancar must
have double and IL was evidently
his double that was murdered. Gus
tovich and Kasovac cannot be the
essassins as they we're in the company
of Lancar the day he was supposed to
have met with foul play IL is now
up to the Iron county authorities to
locate in some way the murderer or
murderers of Lancars double.
