Contract Let For Road.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 5.-The con- tract for the construction of 13 miles of improved road from Star City to Tarry, in Lincoln county, was awarded yesterday at Star City by the commission CTS, to the T. H. Bunch Commis- sion Company of Little Rock, which has undertaken road building.
 The Company's bid was S41,- 165.72 for a gravel road and $64,861.77 for macadam. The character of the road was not decided, but this will be done later by the commissioners, as Bunch's bid was the lowest on both types.

 Mr. Carter also reports the or ganization of Lincoln Good Roads District No. 2, for the building of a road from Star City to Grady, a distance of 21 miles. The preliminary survey will be started February 16th.

Petition Hearing Drags.
Special to Independent.

Speclal to lnQepeIlQeIIC.
 Little Rock, Feb. 5.-The sa- loon petition for Little Rock is dragging slowly, and the liquor men will probably not close their case before this evening. It may be Saturday before Judge Asher announces his decision. 1t IS generally conceded that license will be granted.
 The saloon men are answering each one of the individual re- monstrances presented by the prohibitionists to over 1,4O0 of the 12,59O names on the petl- ton. They claim they have a majority, even if all the names against which protest is made were stricken from the petition, but they say they desire to prove the inconsistency of the re- monstrances. There is little doubt that the case will be car ried to the circuit court, but in the meantime the saloons will be opened.

To Close Capitol Sundays.


 Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 5.-1t is an- nounced that hereafter the state capitol will be closed to visitors on Sunday until after the work in the interior has been com- pleted, which will probably be in the late summer. This is made necessary by the large a. mount of scaffolding that has been erected for the purpose of stripping the walls of plaster which is to be replaced with AL abama marble.
 The whole interior of the build- ing, except the office, is a vast workshop and the walls are bare and unsightly. The walls of the senate and house are also be- ing stripped, and when the leg islaure meets in January, 1915, it will be in halls lined with white marble.
 The seating arrangements in both halls will be changed, pro- viding ample space for all the members, clerks and represent atives of the press. Handsome marble stands will be provided for the speaker and the presi- dent, and an effort will be made to solve the acoustic difficulties which were so annoying last ses- sion.

AUTO RAN OVER BOY
Oldest Child OF Joseph 6endick Struck
While Playing in the Street

Joe Bendick, tie Oldest child of Mr.
and Mrs, Joseph Bendiok was hit by
Capt. Ed Pengilly's auto on Superior
avenue last Tuesday evening and hurt
so badly that his recovery is doubtful
The little fellow was playing with
his brother They wers racing along
the alley west of the new city hall
just as Captain pengilly and his fam.
lily We're driving mp main street in
Captains big Case car The car was
running about l2 miles per nour when
the little fellow dashed right in front
of the car so Suddenly and at so short
distance ahead that Mr. Pengilly
couldn't stop the car The fender
struck little Joe and knocked him
down The front wheels passed
him without touching him but one Of
the rear wheels ran over him about at
the hip.
Both hips were torn from their
sockets and il looks as il the spinal
column is injured also, although i'm
mediately following the accident the
little fellow moved his lower limbs
and was able TO roll over He was
taken Immediately TO the City Hos
pltal where medical attendance was
had
Captain Pengilly stopped his car as
quickly as possible and hastened back
to the little fellow. He did everything
that he could to atone for the injury
that he had so unfortunately done.
Mrs. Pengilly was the one most affect
cd and for time il looked as if she
was more in danger than the little
fellow. She has been through several
accidents and IL extremely nervous.
She tainted dead away and IL was
many minutes before she was resusci.
ated In addition her heart action is
weak and much fear was expressed for
her
The accident was wholly unavoid-
able and would have happened to the
most carafui driver in the nation for
the little fellow rushed in front OF
the car rs il premeditaed. So sud
denly did he move that il was i'm
possible TO stop the machine although
II was moving at slow speed and MP

A Big CALENDER
FOR COURT TERM
ThIRTY-stvfN CASES. lNoTIcED.of
WHICH II ARE CRIMINAL
MANY PETITlONERSsTHISS TERM
Citizens Are Admitted at But Two Sss-
'ion' in Eaeh..Ysar, The CominglTsrm D
Being One OF Them

On Monday morning next the circuit
court. for Iron county will be opened
10y Judge Flanagan in the court house
A calendar larger than any heretofore
will confronts Judge Flannigan this
term. We have had one calendar with
more cases by two in number but that
docket didn't contain any petitioners
for citizen papers and that feature
alone OF the June term is an extraordi-
narily large one.
OF the cases noticed, twelve are
criminal actions and Pros. Atty.
Waffen is ready for trial on most of
them. The criminal work has been
increasing in amount each year in
Iron county so that the the Office of
prosecuting attorney is no longer
snap. IL requires lot OF hard work
to hold down the office.
One of the most intricate cases sche-
duled for this term was taken away
from the judge by the defendants own
hand when Enquist hanged himself in
the county Jail week ago but the ac-
tions that are docketed are by no
means trivial ones and required some
extensive preparation.
The calendar in detail is as follows.

TWO DECISIONS EXPECTED
The schook Case and the oeerasse Cases
viii Be Decided by Judge Flanagan

|
II has been learned that Judge
Flanniagn intends to hand down two
as important decisions on the first day
of the coming term of court as have
ever been rendered in the circuit court
of Iron county Tue first is that of
Paul Schook against Eugene thinner
man and Mr.. Cutts for one third
interest in the Zimmerman mine and
the other is that OF NJ II Moriarty
and others against the Verona Mining
Co. asking that the lease which that
company holds upon the DeGrasse pro
perty in Stambaugh township be can
celed
The Schook case has boen hanging
fire for very long time and the Nor
iarty case nearly as long Several
times IL has been announced, unofficial
", that decision would be handed
down in this case but each time the
information has proved TO be unau-
thentic
Should the decision be with Mr.
Schook IL will give him an interest IN
az valuable an iron ore mining pro-
perty as lies in Iron county, all things
considered. Mr.. Schook asked for a
one third interest in the property on
the promise made by Zimmerman and
Clutts that they would 'whack with
him if he put them on TO anything
good in this county Mr. Schook
showed on the witness stand where he
had been instrumental in getting the
option on the Kinney property for the
two men and that he had mentioned his
interest in the property at the time,
Zimmerman and Clutts Both denied
schook story but il looks as " the
evidence was the other way However,
there is no telling now the judge will
view the case.
The Moriarty case will be more inn
portant than the Schook case for the
reason that many more are involved
for should Moriarty and his partners
win it will Immediately cause numer.
ous suits 10 be filed by owners Of
mineral lands in this and surrounding
counties asking that the leases which
are tieing up these properties and re-
turning 10 the owners but very little
be cancelled Should the company
win It will result in the dropping OF
many suits that are pow in embryo
awaiting incubation from the court

mercial club last Saturday. The club

Houghton and Hancock and includes
in its membership the active and
influential business men Of the copper
section Of the peninsula. They were
on their way to Iron River by special
train 10 pay visit to the west side
section and decided to stop off few
minutes at Crystal Falls enroute
Word was sent to this city late Fri
day that the copper country fellows
intended stopping off here and i'm
mediately arrangements were made TO
take care of them while here. l.. A..
Henry was appointed to gather up
wnat automobiles he could get and had
thirty five in line at the st. Paul
station
The Calumet & Hecla band was
with the party and several selections
were played at the station by that
famous organization. K. b Webb, as
master Of ceremonies then announced
that any member of the excursion
party who wished TO have an automo-
bile ride across the county could get
one by climbing into the ears in wait
ing. Immediately there was a scram-
BILE for overcoats by all who had had
dinner. About half of the crowd had
not had dinner and they were unable
TO go but all of the other 70 the num-
ber of about 100 were loaded into the
waiting machines and the procession
started. Mr.. Webb had guaranteed
that the autos would get to Iron River
as soon as the train and the local
fellows proposed to make the promise
good. The route lay up Superior
avenue 10 Fifth, south on Fifth TO
Marquette, west of Marquette TO Sew
enth and thence passed Tn high school
and new graded school 10 Park street
where the cars again emerged onto
Crystal Avenue and headed for Iron
River via the Tobin mine location,
the farming settlement road and the
Idlewild road, emerging onto the main
road this side of Fortune lake The
main road was then followed TO Iron
River where the party arrived about
fifteen minutes ahead of the train.
Many Of the cars returned TO Crystal
Falls Immediately but some stayed as
many Of the copper country fellows
expressed the wish TO return TO Crys-
tai Falls. They commneced 10 arrive
about four o clock and from then until
six, when the train got here, they
kept struggling in.
A buffet lunch had beeu arranged at
the club and when the train arrived
the procession started for the club
room where all were given sand
wich and coffee A second procession
headed by the g. 81 IL band paraded
on Superior avenue and at 6:20 the
train pulled out.
The copper country fellows were
loud in praise of onr roads and were
not backward in saying that Hough
ton county is away behind this county
in that line
They were all surprised at the evi
dences of substantialness in this city
as evidenced by the beautiful public
buildings and the fine business blocks.
While Crystal Falls was not on their
original schedule, everyone of the
bunch rejoiced that the train stopped
here and that they were given an
opportunity of meeting our people
and viewing our city.
