Another iron mine has been opened
near Barapoo, and 10 cars of the raw
material have gone to market. If
it proves to be of good grade, other
shipments will follow. Other iron
mines in that vicinity have been
closed down, because of poor grade,
and poor market. The market is a
matter Of grade, however
Powe, the detective who got so
many of the boys, old and young,
over at Rewey in bad for running
blind pigs, was arrested over at
Argyle the other day for buying IL
licit booze. He was looking for
evidence against some bootleggers,
and in order to get the right kind of
proof bought some of the goods.
Then the blind piggers had him ar
rested. He got caught at his own
game, although it is admitted that he
was in the game in the interest of
law and order.

Women of the civics club of Mineral
Point, are working for new pas
senger station for that city. A letter
was sent to the division superintendent
w. j. Underwood of the Milwaukee
road, urging the road to take favor
able action on the request and point
ing out the need for new station.
A letter was received saying the
matter would be given due considera-
ton. The women have asked that
two members of their sex be named

Mineral Point is some "show

A young man from Dubuque drove
to GaIena Thursday in brand new
car and while in this city met two
other Dubuque lads. Donald E.
Deckert was the owner of the car and
was evidently in Galena for good
time and so tried 10 show Galenians
how to put Ford car through any
manner of stunts. During the after
noon he entertained the people on
the streets by the unnecessary loud
shrieks from a Klaxon auto horn.
Then early in the evening he did some
more demonstrating. He drove the
little car through Grant park over
the nice smooth cement walks, and
ran merry -go-round around the
Grant monument in the park. This
made nice boulevard but it was
not very good place to demonstrate
the speed of the car so back he came
to Main street and then the way he
let that car out as far up as Jennings
Grove took the breath away from
pedestrians. This was soon stopped
by Officer Wilson who arrested him
and Squire Joseph Dimke held a
special session of court at once an
decided to fine the young man $50
and costs or SIS all told. This was
paid this morning, the mother of the
young man sending the money from
Dubuque, and he was released and
with the little car left for Dubuque.
Deckert stated that this is the first
time that he has ever been guilty of
such an offense and said that it would
be the last one. The three young
men appeared to be we'll hammered
chaps and that is the reason the
squire was so lenienu with the fine
and it will perhaps be lesson others
who enjoy spe eding with new car
