SOME OLD TIMERS
DIR. Metcalf Presents City Win Old
Napkin and Paper

DR.. A. A. Metcalf brought to our
Office yesterday morning an old nap
kin which he had had framed and
which he will present 10 the city. IL
will be hung In the city hall
The napkin was printed by The Dia-
mond Drill 26-years ago and was used
at one OF the social functions OF the
time. II has been preserved Sy Mrs.
Metcalf who recently brought IL to
light.
On the napkin are printed advertise
ing cards OF the merchants doing bust
ness here at that time and among them
are M. Frankel The Fair, A. Lustfield,
Prop, Max Berlowitz drygoods and
clothing; c. s. Henry furniture: the
Dunn mine and Armenia mine, iron

The social affair for which the nap
kin was printed was The Kermeese,

The other relic which Doctor Met
calf displayed was a copy OF the New
York Herald printed the morning
after Pres. Lincoln was shot. The
front page displayed the long, somber
turned rules and between them was an
account OF the assassination OF the
president. The head lines are in severe
contrast to the "schrecchers" OF this
day, in fact the most modest country
weekly frequently displays headlines OF
more extent than those contained In
the Herald of that morning.

The new mining property Of Cor
rigan, Mckinney & Co. will be operat-
ed by company styled the Hudson
Mining Co.. and the name of the pro-
perty will be the "Odgers Mine" The
property is named after Ira Odgers OF
this city who was the moving spirit In
the exploration OF II by his company,
the Cole G. Mcdonald company. Mr..
Odgers had done some drilling on this
property for Duluth syndicater. The
showing was so good that he wanted
them to go deeper but they wouldn't
heed his suggestions and after they
had abandoned the land he induced his
people TO take an option on II and set
couple OF drills working just TO keep
some OF the most efficient workmen
busy during the dull times.
Because OF the insistency OF Mr.. Cd
gers In the matter and because II look
ed like a good proposition, Cole G. Nc
Donald secured an option and did the
drill work. Mr.. Odgers was given an
interest In the lease and now the
Corrigan-M Mckinney people, in recog-
milton OF his valuable services to the
property, have named IL after him.
The Hudson Mining Co. is a sub
sidiary organization OF the Corrigan-

taking over and operating the 0dgers

Gun As Usual

One OF the saddest accidents that We
have been called upon to record oc-
CURED at Alpha last Sunday when
Herald Norlin. son OF Mrs. DeLong. was
fatally shot by his brother Ernes,
while at play. The gun used was a q
calibre, and as Is always the case, was
supposed to be empty. The bullet en-
tered the apex of the heart but the
victim lived long enough to walk from
the barn TO the house and to tell his
grandmother what had happened.
The story OF the affair is as follows
The deceased, along with his brothers
Ernest and Carl, we're at play in the
barn. They had slept in the barn most
OF the year where they had rugged M
sleeping quarters and play room. On
the day OF the accident they were
playing boy scouts and two OF them
had wooden guns.
Harold pointed his wooden gun at his
brother and playfulIy called out
Hands up" A 22 rife was hanging on
the barn wall and was supposed to be
empty. In some way Ernest got hold
OF this rife and supposing II to be
empty. pointed IL at Harold and pulled
the trigger.
The bullet entered the little fellows
body In line with the heart. He fell to
the floor and Immediately arose. Err
nest tried to assist him but he pushed
him away and started for the house
Az tho door he met his grandmother
who asked him what was the matter
and he told her that he had been shot
Blood was gushing from the wound
over which tlIh little fslipy held his
hand. He had spkt aboqt, strength
enough 70 reach thesh0nse and after
telling his grandmother what had hap.
pened he pitched forward and was
caught by her and taken into the house
where he expired almost Immediately
The family lived in Crystal Falls
for number of years and resided over
the Tufts store. From Crystal Falls
they went to Alpha. the husband going
to Buffalo TO seek employment.
The accident brought out the sympa
thy Of the community for the famil,
and especially for the little fellow who
did the shooting. He is greatly affected
by the affair and his mother is figurini
TO take him away from the scene o
the accident as quickly as possible.
