IRON MOUNTAIN
Driver Escapes Serious Injury When
Car Brings Up Aghinst Adioin-
ing Building

Webb's garage on 3rd street was the
scene OF peculiar auto accident last
Thursday at noon, when Buick car
owned by DIR. Johnson. dentist Of
Iron Mountain and driven by Mr.
Edyyean engineer at the Bristol
mine and close friend OF the former
crashed through one OF the side walls
of the building.
Dr. Johnson drove his car up here
about week ago from Iron Mountain
on a visit to Mr.. Edyvean. The car
wasn't working right and he decided q
let II al the garage for repairs.
The repair work on the car was
finished Thursday morning and Mr.
Edyyean, who was given the use Of the
car came in at noon to take a little
spin. as he expressed it. As we under.
stand IL he was not very experienced
In driving car and got mixed up on
his brakes after starting II.
The car was standing on the south
side of the garage. the front facing
the north wall. when Edyvean started
II up to leave the building. When he
started the car he put on full speed
and instead OF turning toward the
door, shot straight ahead The car
crashed through the wall and brought
up against the residence OF John
Trombley, about four feet from the
garage Luckily the Trombley resi-
dence was that close to stop the ear
or the accident might have been OF a
more serious nature as the car was
going fast enough TO carry driver and
all right through the building. There
was a drop OF about three feet from the
floor OF the garage and the front
wheels and half of the body OF the car
hung-un the outside after the crash.
The ear pushed the wall OF the garage
alo1g ahead OF IL, and II was this that
saved II from getting smashed up
badly. the hood resting between two
rafters Of the wall. The car hit the
Trombley residence hard enough TO
crack the plaster and break a water
pipe In one OF the rooms on the in
terror OF the building. The water pipe
In the garage was also in line OF the
cars mad fight and was severed. The
front end OF the car didn't suffer very
badly from the smashup, but the wind
shield was broken, the tenders bent,
and some parts on the bottom were
put out OF adjustment.
Outside OF bad shaking up and o
little ducking from the broken water
pipe. Mr. Edyvcan suffered no other
injury.

GAME LAWS NOT CLEAR
Many Provisions That are BofherIng
the Sportsmen

4
The game laws which were passed
by the last session OF the state legis-
lature went into effect last week. but
there are many provisions that are
not quite clear 70 the sportsmen. and
upon which opinions will have 70 be
rendered before those who are ponder
ing are enlightened
Shortly after the new law went into
effect several OF our most prominent
sportsmen became entangled In its
meshes. They were spending the day
down IN the Paint Farm country and a
couple Of the gentlemen took their
rides along more for target practice
and the chance OF getting a crack at
a wolf, as one OF them stated. Game
warden Arthur Gould OF Iron River
happened along and placed those with
guns under arrest after being inform
ed that they were minus the 81 hunting
license, The gentlemen in question
were not OF the type that disregard
the game laws but on the other hand
uphold them--the only reason, they
didn't prepare themselves with IL
cense before leaving was that they
were not out after protected game and
there is no provisions in the game
laws which bars one from carrying
a gun for target practice or protec-
tion against bear or wolves.
Warden Gould. after getting the
facts from the party, decided not to
push the case any farther until he gets
a proper lineup on the game laws and
Il is thought the matter will be drop
ped as the gentlemen were not violas-
ing the game laws according 10 their
story and the present compilation OF
the laws.
The youngsters OF the community
who are fond Of hunting are worrying
right now because the laws states that
every hunter must be provided with
a license. but that boys under IL years
OF age cannot purchase license,
therefore they a:e not permitted to
hunt. W. r. Oates. the commissioner.
was asked about this last week and he
stated that boys under that age could
not hunt. However. II Is believed that
there is still some hope for the boys,
as youngsters who have not attained
that age cannot be brought before q
justice OF the peace and charged with
a misdemeanor. Now. what are the
wardens to do? The law states that the
boys cannot procure licenses. and yet
they cannot be arrested.
In the pamphlets that the persons
selling licenses are distributing there
is provision stating that no game
can be lawfully killed before the first
day OF October, while another provis.
ion states that ducks may be shot be-
tween September / and December 1b.
II is our ouinion that hunter Ia safe
In shooting ducks this month.
The law with regard to hunting
with automobiles is also conflicting.
One game warden is quoted as saying
that any person found with partridge
In his car would be arrested. We be-
lieve that he has misinterpreted the
law. as the intent is TO merely stop
shooting birds from automobiles, and
hunter is privileged to get out OF his
car and shoot and he can carry his
game In the machine.
Until some OF these points that are
now bothering the hunters are clear
ed up there is going 70 DO consider
able discussion regarding the new
laws, but Commissioner Oates will
probably give his opinions within a
few days
