MISSING BOY
LOCATED LIVING
WITH SHACKER
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Samp.
son of Chisholm Is at Ele-
phant Lake.
RAN AWAY FROM HOME
WITH WOODS CHARACTER
Parents Conducted Search for
Him That Extended Over
All Northwest.

Uno Sampson, son of Mr.. and Mrs
John Sampson, Chisholm, who has
been missing from his home for three
years and for whom his parents have
ever since conducted search that
extended all over the northwest, has
been located. He is living with a
shacker at Elephant lake, 20 miles
vest of Cussons and deputy sheriffs
eft today for Elephant lake to take
him into custody and arrest Baltic,
who will probably be held to answer to
charge of abduction.
Some few weeks ago John Sampson
eceived a letter telling him of the
whereabouts Of his son. The boy
had confided to acquaintances that he
lad run away from home, but refused
% tell the name Of his parents or
where he had lived. Since leaving
chisholm he has made his home with
Baltic, who is trapper and hunter
md the pair for three years have
successfully hidden themselves from
he world in the woods of northern
Minnesota. The first trace of them
hat was discovered was when they
anne to international Falls and Ra-
:lier last spring to sell furs and buy
,upplies. John Sampson is in Vir-
sinia today and has just returned from
trip to the north country, where he
made and investigation that convinces
aim his son is at the shack of Baltic.
Uno Sampson was 13 years old
when he left his home at Chisholm.
Baltic was then living in the country
about Sturgeon lake. He and the boy
became friends. He told the lad ro-
nantic tales of life in the woods and
Il the hunting and fishing and young
Sampson decided to accompany him to
lis shack The pair were seen to leave
Chisholm together. When the boy did
aot return in few weeks his parents
;tarted an investigation. It developed
hat Baltic had left his old hunting
md trapping grounds and had disap-
oeared as completely as though the
earth had opened and swallowed him.
tories were not lacking that young
Sampson had been located at differ
mt places, but when his father inves-
igated them they were without
'oundation. The lads mother was
distracted with grief and at one time
it was feared her mind would become
unbalanced over worrying for her
on. Efforts were made to find Baltic
out were unsuccessful. Since leaving
Chisholm it appears he has been hav-
ng his rendezvos near the Canadian
ooundry, living part of the time on the
Canadian side. Young Sampson has
oeen his constant companion. The
,air will probably be brought to Vir-
yinia tomorrow or Saturday.

Christie had nothing to say.
Late this afternoon it was learned
that Smith and Christie had agreed

Mich, and stopped at Houghton, in
the copper country returning to his
home.
mining men in the Michigan cop
per country are suffering from Sc
we're attack Of the blues," said Mr.,
Van Evera today. "The long labor
trouble kept the copper country towns
in a state of business unrest for
months and things were just begin
ming to move nicely again when the
European war broke out and the ex-
port copper business is nil as a re-
suit. The mines are cutting down
shifts and suspending operations as
a result. In some places arrange
ments are being made to work two
weeks a month to take care Of labor
and keep things going for the pres
ent."
Mr.. Van Evera attended the open
ing days session of the Lake Su-
perior Mining institute at Marquette.
He says the attendance from the Me-
saba range was unusually small. H.

two present from Virginia on the
opening day.

turned with Mr.. Van Evera from Mar

GERMAN ACTORS
NOT FOR CANADA

Jennings, Jewell & Barlow, a vau-
deville team appearing this week at
the Royal theatre, who have Just re-
turned to the United States from Can
ada report that rs acts booked for
appearance over Orpheum circuit
theatres in northwestern Canada have
been cancelled in all Canadian houses.
All of these performers were Ger
mans, musicians, acrobats and animal
trainers and have contracts covering
II weeks with the agency booking the
Orpheum circuit acts. They were re-
routed bcauseof the intense feeling
against Germans in Canada and the
booking agency is put to a consider
able task to take care of them on this
side of the line. Members of the team
appearing here report that many vau-
deville and moving picture theatres
in Canada are closing because of the
war. They say the public mind is moi
in a fit frame to patronize amusement

F0RFAST ELEVEN

Prospects are excellent for a fast
football eleven at the Virginia high
school, according to Athletic Director
Jackson. The high school squad turn
ed out for the first time last night
and indulged in scrimmage and punt
ing practice on the Roosevelt grounds.
About 20 players were out. The eleven
will this year have several of last
years members and Coach jackson
said last night he was we'll pleased
with the material in sight. An ath-
letic board of which DR.. Colgrove
and Mr.. Jackson and two students
will be members will have charge of
the football schedule and it's organ
ization will probably be perfected
some time next week. All the range
schools will have teams this year and
Hibbing is expected to have a par
ticularly strong team. The Hibbing
game is one of the big ones of the
season with the local high school

FRENCH CAPITAL Is" NOW AT BORDEAUX
EVELETH ASKS
WHO lEAKED?" ]
Information Concerning Pro.
posed Tax Levy In Hands of
Mining Companies.
"WhO leaked 2"

VINO leaked :!
This is the general question in Of
ficial circles in the city of Eveleth
today, following the filing of an ac-
tion asking the courts to limit the tax
levy in Eveleth for the coming year
TO $225,OOO. The city of Eveleth is
agog and the incident has not tended
to improve in any degree the strained
condition with regard to municipal
affairs which has existed there for
some time.
While it is vigorously denied in
Eveleth that any levy had been defin-
itely decided upon by the council, it
is stated that when the mining COM
panies go into court they will be
armed with an itemized list of the
budget prepared which totals to
$63l ,515.34. The budget shows gen.
orally increased appropriations for
street work, sewer construction and
paving.
The Eveleth council has for some
time been house divided against it.
self and this fact is held responsible
for the beginning of the recent action.
Ryan Reticent.
Secretary P. J. Ryan of the Lake
Superior Tax association declined to
discuss the Eveleth case today. *The
mining companies are asking that the
levy be limited to $225,000," said Mr..
Ryan. This is $4,000 more than it
was last year. If investigation de-
velops that more than that amount
is actually needed, it is not probable
the mining companies will oppose it.
They are willing to be fair, but as
heavy taxpayers are opposed to ex-
travagant expenditures or the spend
ing of money for public improvements
in the manner in which it has been
spent in some range communities in
the past.

Some men are hard to fit in clothes; some just think they are. There are certain types of figure, however stout men, short, stocky men, big tall men-that require special designing in clothes.
 We have special sizes and models for just such persons; the lines are different, such a figure could easily be made to look ridiculous by designer who doesn't know how.
 The slope of the shoulders, the turn of the collar over the short neck, the curve of the lapel and front of the coat; the placing and spacing of the buttons; the size and shape of the sleeve; the shaping of the trousers; these are the things in which our de- signers are artists ' We give every man, of whatever size or shape or age, the kind of style and fit he should have; and we have all wool fabrics and the most perfect tailoring.
