KILLED cow IN BARN
Thieves Invaded a Widow Womans
Barn at Great Western

One Of the most sconnderly deeds
ever pnlled off in the thieying line was
reported from the Great Western To-
cation late last week. A widow
woman residing in one of the company
houses had COW upon which she
depended for milk for her children.
rhe woman is il very poor circum-
stances but was fighting as best she
could against being public charge.
one morning when she went to her
barn she found that some pei son had
visited il during the night. butchered
her COW and carried away the carcass
leaving the head and refuse matter in
the barn for the woman TO get rid Of.
The woman had to be helped out by
the neighbors as she had no fuel TO
keep herself and her children from
freezing and but little food in the
house.
No clew mas been obtained as to the
identity of the thieves but If one is
found and the guilt placed beyond a
doubt the person will be roughly
handled for extreme indignation is
expressed on all sides over the deed.

card tournament, Abe Mathews OF q
billiard and pool tournament and
Thomas Conlin a current topic dicus-
sion Each Of the leaders is busy

The card tournament, which will
probably be OF the whist persuasion,
will occupy the attention one night
each week. The billiard and poos
contests will occupy another evening
and the curnert topic discussion
another evening OF the week.
The possibilities Of the pool contest
are quite promising as there is talk
already of forming team from eacE
of the mines and the city. The Car
penter has an especially strong team
/ in the pool line and, we understand,
is ont to carry off the honors.
The current topic discussions viii

MANY COMING
TO TAX MEETING
REPLIES RECEIVED ASSURES A
GOOD REPRESENTATION
LEGISLATORS TO BE THERE
invitations Sent to all of The U. p.
Senators and Representatives
During the Week

Sufficient replies nave been received
to the circular letter issued by the
Crystal Falls Tax Payers ASSOCIATION
asking that representatives be sent
to meeting to be held at Marquette
on the 10th of December to protest
against the proposed tonnage tax to
insure the success of the meeting.
Many county, township and city
boards in the mining sections have
not met since the circular was sent
out but the commercial clubs and
kindred organizations have responded
as have also all of the municipalities
where meetings have been held.
In some cases the city councils have
not only sent representatives but have
emphasized their position by adopting
resolutions in aid of the movement
and il is likely that large number
of resolutions will be presented to the
meeting when 1t IS called to order.
The legislators of the upper penin-
sula have been invited to attend the
meeting and il is likely that most il
not all Of them will be on hand at
Marquette. There are IA house men,
bers and senators from the upper
peninsula. Two years ago they assem-
bled at Marquette in connection with
the Marquette Normal school appro.
priation and their meeting was very
beneficial to them. II IS hoped that
the present meeting will likewise be of
great benefit.
Further information will be sent
out soon telling the time and place OF
the meeting.

MERCHANTS OBJECT
Claim That Our Article of Last Week
Was Misleading

The article on Sunday closing in
last week issue has been objected to
by some Of the drygoods merchants
who claim that, in the first place We
were misinformed and in the second
place we overdrew the story when we
brought all of the merchants into it.
One OF the merchants, in talking
with reporter for this paper ex.
pressed it this way.
There is no sense ia your dragging
all of the merchants into the affair
and especially liking the court room
to synagogue. We are not all to
blame because there is some IN our
midst who ought not 10 be- in business
at all.
"No ore has ever bsen injured IN
any OF our stores on Sunday nor have
we taken any advantage OF anyone.
We have tried to close up but there is
one firm he meant Kaplan 81 Rutt.
man that ought not TO be- in business
at all They will not keep their word
and have no regard for any Of thei ir
fellow MERCHANTS
IF you have any criticism or if
any other person has any TO make, let
them direct il at the persons directly
responsible and not at the merchants
Unfortunately.
The effort at Sunday closing has
failed OF fruition and will not, in al
probability. be tried again although
at least 80 per cent of the merchants
would like to see Il accomplished.

A NARROWING EXPERIENCE
Don Hovey, Lost for 25-hours Loses
no Time in Getting Home

Don Hoyey, whose being lost In the
wood, while deer hunting was men
toned last week, came down from
the woods on Friday and that evening
he left for his home at Benton Harbor
Mr.. Hovey was pretty tickled at
being able 10 go home alive and lost no
time in getting back TO the home folks
The story of his adventure was told
by his fellow hunters when they got
back last Saturday. Ii seems that Mr..
Hoyey in company with Frank ID. Ball
and Phil Shaw went ont TO hant early
Sunday morning. The two old hunters
posted Hovey on a ridge on the side
of swamp and told him to stay
there while they made drive de
stayed a short time and then started
oil for himself. When his companions
got back after making the drive they
found him gone but supposed that he
went to camp and il was not until
they got back that the true condition
OF affairs became known.
Hovey got lost at 8 90 o'clock in the
morning lie wandered about all day,
realizing all the time that he was lost.
lie had no matches one OF the fellows
in camp having emptied his match
box the night before. When il got
dark he crawled into hollow stump
where he nearly froze during the very
stormy night.
AS soon as it became light again
he got out and started to wander
about. He happened to run across
some tracks in the fresh snow and fol-
lowed them back across the Deer river
and to Senator Cartier's camp where
he arrived about 1000 O'Clock. He
fell down several times while going
from the river to the camp and was
almost exhausted when he got to the
haveu.
Senator Cartier was at the camp
when he arrived and as he - an old
head in the woods he immediately
sensed the true condition OF the man
whose lower limbs were numb with
the cold. he made an examination
and found that the feet were badly
frost bitten. Mr.. Cartier went to work
and removed the shoes and placed the
frozen limbs In snow, doctoring them
for a long time until they we're out OF
danger. At that two of the toes were
badly affected and may require further
attention
in the meantime there was a pretty
scared party of hunters in the Regs
lTiber camp. Very few slept Sunday
night. most Of the crew staying out
with lanterns until late in the night
They were all up early Monday morn
ing and out at day break TO search fol
the lost. Word arrived from the Car
tier caup about noon mat Hovey wa
found and il took an awful load OF
the minds of the hunters.
A rig was sent down to the Cartie
camp at once TO get the lost man bu
he was sleeping and was not disturbe'
until near night when he was loade'
into a wagon and brought back 70 hi
own camp

STEEL TRADE IMPROVING
Heavy Orders Are Being Received in
Steel Lines

: Business is roudnding to nicely in
the steel trade. according to advices
from the leading centers. Taking into
consideration the foreign and domestic
inquiries in hand, predictions are
made that operations at the various
plants will show substantial increases
within the next few days.
The outlook is regarded rs so good
that ali official Of one OF the United
States Steel corporations subsidiaries
predicts that within the next three
weeks the mills at Farrell Pa, now
operating at apout . per cent, viii
be running at 20 per cent of capacity.
The Carnegie Steel company has re-
ported the booking of some large orders
within the last few days, and officials
of the Youngstown Steel Tube company
also expect TO increase the output of
their plants within a short lime. The
Tennessee Coal g. Iron company has
ordered the resumption OF operations
at it's Ensley mill on double time
owing 70 the landing OF some sub-
stantial domestic contracts
An interesting feature Is the
opening up OF export trade in looomo-
t,yes. The Baldwin locomotive
company has taken orders for fifty
locomotives thirty 20 90 10 France
and twenty to Russia. The rail mills
are bidding upon Russian inquiry
for nearly 100 GOO tons. American
railroads nave been light buyers Of rails
since last spring, but 'ome Of them are
now being compelled TO come into
the market for materials 10 maintain
their roadbeds. The New York Central
has set the lead in that respect with
an inquiry for e5. 600 tons OF rails for
January delivery. and the Pennsyl-
vania road has placed small order.
Manufacturers OF barbcd wire report
that their bouks are filled up fJr
several months ahead, with a number
OF good inquiries still unplaced. The
wire mills OF Youngstown sheet q
Tube company have just wound up
two Dod sized orders OF barbed wire,
one lot being shipped to Japan and
the other to Liverpool Eng Furter
large inquiries for the same material
have been received through the chair
man of the foreign trade commission
&c London
IL is noted by the Iron Age that pig
iron buying has increased. In finished
steel products, expectations OF better
ordering Just ahead are stronger
letting 70 optaimistic sentiment on
the part OF operators. Some agricul-
tural works which bought only for this
year are sounding the bar iron marke I
for 1916. though some of them have
contracts running up till next July.
The same tendency is also reported In
plates and structural steel
The largest single inquiry Tor cast
iron pipe TO come ONT in months is
now before the trade. It calls for 20. 600
tons of A. inch pipe for the city of
Detroit. Boston is making bids on
4, 600 tons OF e0.inch pipe.
The American Smelling ~ Refining
company has advanced the price Of
lead from 37.0 20 390c.
