murder case, one of them has failed Ia
take advantage of 1t and he still re-

w A. MalVen, the discredited i'm
former whose story implicated KEEL
ly. Grimes and Nellis However, the
sheriff insists that the county is not
maintaining a boarding or lodging
house and unless Malven leaves to-
night, he will be forcibly elected. a
rather unusual and heretofore unnec-
essary step.
There may be good grounds for his
refusal To accept freedom, a boon that
all men fight for. Included in the
statements made by Malvan was one
Wdddell men. He actually stated in
the justice and circuit courts that he
is I'm fear of his life. He seems To be-
ueve that Kelly Grimes and Nelles
or their friends will do him serious
bodily harm. So he prefers TO be the
willing guest of the sheriff.

called upon To do necessarily are high

such men are not averse To resentin-

may he that the men Immediately con-

they should. Probably Malven is wise

COPPER RANGE HAS ALWAYS
FOLLOWED SAFETY FIRST"
SUPT. eHLERS STATES COMPANY
HAS WORKED WITH THIS
END IN VIEW,

safety first" is rapidly becoming
the paramount issue in railroad, min
ing and other industrial circles
throughout the country and during the
past few months the slogan has been
adopted generally in the copper coun-
try. The practice OF safety first Is
directed at eliminating, as much as
possible. carelessness i'm any business
where danger exists, and providing
safeguards
When interviewed yesterday Supt
4. n. Ehlers of the copper Range rail-
road stated that his company has been
working with this end I'm view for sew
cral years The company some time
ago equipped some of its engines with
electric headlights, thus giving the en-
giueer a view of the track for almost
a mile ahead of his engine This has
aided greatly i'm avoiding accidents
and soon every engine on the road will
bee equipped with headlights of this
kind
At regular intervals" said super
iatendcnt Ehlcrs. we issue literature
I'm regards 10 the safety first idea "a
the employees of our road, but we do
not issue books as do other big con-
Germs This is due To the fact that We
have old and experienced men work
ing for our road and many of them
have been with the copper Range foT
h4K
been trained 20 their duties and safety
first has always been their aim. There
fore We have not found il necessary 10
impress this ON our men 10y sending
books ON the subject as have larger
railroads that are hiring and firms
men every day
ITO the experienced railroader who
has learned his duties faithfully and
has them impressed ON his mind II is
not necessary 10 keep issuing orders in
regards 10 this subject for he is con-
stantly on the alert 20 detect danger
We have been very fortunate in not
having many accidents or having per-
sons killed ON our road
"One Of the principal dangers we
have discovered is in carrying explo-
sivcs, and with ears containing such
material extra care is taken by those in
charge ANY explosive is dangerous
and particularly when being carried In
"a car where it is being iolted around
10 some extent The men who pack
the cars are very careful and when
on the road the pugincer and every
man on duty is one the lookout for
anything that might result i'm damage

GUARD Will SEE
SOME SERVICE
This Is Opinion Of Officers Of the
Michigan Troops

Brsadier- General John l.. Kirk
chief of stan. commanding the first
brigade. Michigan National Guard, and
Major Roy & .Vandercook, adjutant-
general. met I'm conference in Detroit
recently. Beyond the fact that they
had matters to take up with j. f. Lew
is. commander of the Detroit naval
reserve. neither officer would say any
thing concerning his appearance there
at this time
Asked as to the significance of the
Washington conference with three
governors including the governor of
Ohio. with the troops of which state
the Michigan guardsmen will be join
ed in event of war, Major Nandercook
declined to advance any opinion. He
stated, however. that the conference
between the general and himself had
nothing to do with the communica-
ton of the war department with the
governors.
Notwithstanding the lack of admis-
sions there is a feeling, however.
among the officers of the guard that
service i'm Mexico, or at least alons
the southern border of the United
States is only matter of time. They
declare they had nothing on which
To base this that is no actual orders,
but they regard the activities of the
war department as highly significant.
Should such an order come, and
should il come there would be no sur
prise ii would find the Michigan
troops i'm much better shape than they
were at the time of the Spanish Am
erican war, say those in "A position to
judge. The Michigan department of
the National Guard is organized along
strictly business lines. In fact, the or
ganization. with the exception of the
brigade stan and an assistant inspect
or OF small arms practice, is now and
has been for some time on strictly
regular army basis.
But One Brieadier General.
There is but one brigadier general,
he being the head of the Michigan
troops. The adjutant general ranks
as major. I'm Ohio he ranks as a
brigadier general. In event of war,
however, there would not he this dis
crepancy, as the Ohio officer. should
he go at all. would not retain his rank.
Major NanderCook would retain his
rank. as he is major of the artillery
In Michigan. the quartermaster- gem
eral Walter G.. Rogers, although he is
a department head. ranks as major.
Military men say this might occa-
sion somewhat curious situation.
For example. If the commission of
soma major commanding battalion
was issued prior to that of Major Van
dercoOk. Major Nandercook as adiu-
tant general, would be giving orders
10 his senior. The same way with
Major Rogers. The rank of lieutenant
colonel is suggested for both officers,
but 10 make the change requires legis-
lation, and the military men do not
care Co stand sponsor for it. holding
they would be put i'm the position of
endeavoring to advance themselves.
