PLAY Go0n BASE RALL

That Crystal Falls people do not
realize the brand OF base ball played
by the local club is APPARENT from the
small support given the boys in last
Sundays game. The team Is not a
world beater nor has IL any big league
stars on its roster but the boys play a
good game OF country base ball and
perform much moe creditably than
have some OF the players we got from
colleges or the stock yeards in days
gone by and 10 whom we payed big
salaries
The small crowd was thoroughly
entertained last Sunday and some Of
the plays made were as good as any
thing that has ever been seen here.
That statement goes especially OF the
work Of johnson. the Crystal Falls
short stop and OF the Florence catch
er. Another excellent article put In
evidence was the umpiring. both OF
VIII Lynch for Crystal Falls and the
man who held the indicator for
Florence. The latter was especially
fair in his decisions and left a mighty
favorable Impression upon Crystal
Falls people II was stated that this
man was umpiring when the split oc.
Cured between Florence and Iron
River and all who witnessed his per-
formance wondered thereat.
The Florence catcher was as good
as anything seen here in several
years and has wing like a hawk. A
young fellow from the Carpenter
mine pitched for Crystal Falls and
surprised everyone at his work.

KILL 7sS WOLVES IN MICH.
Cost State ss,iS9 In Bountles Paid 10
Hunters and Trappers

Approximately 725 wolves were kill
ed In Michigan during the fiscal year
ending July l. The nuaber may be a
little larger than that because in some
northern counties the bounty is high
er than In ones farther south This
number is figured BY the number spent
by the state
Duling the year the state expended
just $s.0s9.5o. Under the law the
state reimburses the various counties
one-half, although the state Will not
settle for any bounty higher than s25
Provided all counties paid the same
bounties the total sum spent for the
killings would be sls.07s. But some
counties pay as high as $40 hide,
which would increase the total money
spent considerably. although II would
not fix the states payment any high
er. II is thought here TO average about
$3.50 wolf.

FRED REINDL HAS MOVED
Left With His Family For Marinette
Last Thursday Morning

Fred M. Reindl has moved his head
quarters from Crystal Falls TO Mar
inette, Wis. where he had maintained
a sales stable for the past year. Mr..
Reindl left with his family last Thurs
day morning for that city. He had a
nice home ready to receive them and
figured TO get settled therein before
school starts.
Mr.. Reindl came to Crystal Falls
11-years ago to look after the range
business OF the Menominee River
Brewing Co. in which his father is a
big owner. For the past few years he
has been gradually working out OF the
brewery business and into the horse
business In which he has been making
rapid advances. With the voting dry
OF the county the last vestige OF the
beer business was wiped out and his
entire time has been devoted 10 the
horse sales business. To take care OF
his increasing business he opened a
stable in Marinette last winter and
placed Mr.. Woods in charge and his
business at that point has increased
TO such an extent that he decided to
make that his principal point and
Crystal Falls branch.
Mr.. Reindl will put man in charge
of his local barn and Mr. Woods will
go to Iowa TO look after the buying
Mr.. Reindl will spend great deal Of
his time on the ;pad and in addition

A BARAGA TRUNK LINE
Gathering OF Road Men at L'Anse To-
|. day 20 Eject Settlement

uay 10 Eutct otttitmtHt
The question OF trunk line through
fiom this section to Baraga county by
way of Covington is still in the air
and II is hoped that settlement OF
this much vexed question will be af-
fected at meeting to be held today at
L'Anse between State Highway Com
missioner Rogers and representatives
from the several surrounding counties.
There seems to be conflicting opin-
ions on the best route. The Marquette
range people think that the route
should be the one via Three Lakes and
Herman Hill. The MenomInee range
people and many from the copper
country favor line through the heart
OF Baraga county by way OF Coyington
and Amasa.
compromise proposition is being
put forth that would seem to satisfy
all concerned and which is to lead the
Iron county trunk up through Cow
ington by way OF Amasa and then
follow the new Coyington township
highway to its junction with the Mar
quette highway about a mile north OF
Nestoria. BY the adoption OF the
lion county-Nestoria line II would
give the copper country short route
to this section OF the peninsula and
would also open up by trunk high
way stretch OF road towards sid
nav that ought to be opened
Iron county will open trunk line
through TO It's north line next yea II
II can get any assurance that our sys-
tenn will be met there by a road from
the north. II is distance OF some
thing over 20 miles from this city to
Nestoria by way OF Humboldt. BY the
new route II would be but 41 miles.
Marquette people could drive down by
one route and back by the other, maxi
ing circle trip that is worth while.
The adoption OF this route would
be good thing TO the people OF all OF
the surrounding counties and II is
expected TO satisfy the conflicting
ideas

DAMAGE CLAIM
AGAINST CITY
MRS. JACOB HOLMES WANTS PAY
FOR THE BREAKING OF AN ARM
FINANCIAL TANcLE GROWS
Several Bonds Fell Due to Increase
Burden While Council is Endeav-
. !. oring to Make Ends Meet

The city OF Crystal Falls has another
damage claim to fight or pay. Mrs.
Jacob Holmes fell on the Paint river
bridge and broke her arm some time
ago and she asks s250.00 damages.
The matter was presented TO the
council at its meeting last Monday and
taken under advisement.
Mayor Munns, in speaking OF the
claim says that before he went on his
eastern trip he and Mrs. Holmes
visited the bridge in order TO get a
line on Just how the accident happen
ed. She told him that in walking along
the walk on the side OF the bridge a
plank Flew up" and tripped her. She
fell headlong, the weight OF her body
falling on her arm which sustained a
very bad fracture. Mr.. Munns says
that there was no question in his mind
about the lady having been hurt and
hurt badly but he seriously questions
the liability OF the city in the case.
However, rather than enter into any
litigation he would favor paying her,
provided her claim is not unreason-
able.
He asked her at the time OF the
visit TO the bridge TO show him the
plank that tripped her and she said
that two men who happened to be
crossing the bridge at the time pulled
the plank up and threw II into the
river

TWO MEN KILLED
AT CARPENTER
VICTOR suLINE And TOM SAARl
MET DEATH MONDAY NIGHT
FALL or GROUND RESPONSIBLE
Men Mere on Bench When it Gave
Away and One Of Them Replied
to Shouts Afterwards

About the saddest accident that has
happened at the local mines in many
day occurred at the Carpenter mine
last Monday night when Victor Suline
and Tom Saari went TO their death in
a fall OF ground in one OF the slopes
jast before midnight. The accident
cast a gloom over the community for
several days as both OF the men were
well known and universally liked
about town.
Insufficient Powder Used
The particulars Of the accident, as
far as can be CLEANED, are that the
men with two companions were at
work taking down a Bench" of
ground in one OF the rooms. They had
drilled and blasted the ground but
evidently they didn't use powder
enough for the ore was not broken
down and without waiting for develop
ments they decided TO use more pow
der. The two men killed climbed up
on the bench and were cleaning of
the holes preparatory TO blasting a
gain when IL gave way and they went
with the ore down lao feet into the
chute below.
other miners were at work in other
parts OF the room at the time and they
hastened out and gave the alarm. A
rescuing party went at once to the
scene and one OF the men shouted in
an effort to learn II the men were
still alive, An answer came back from
one OF the men showing that the fall
had not killed both of them II is said
that groans were heard also and Z is
thought that neither OF the men met
instant death.
All Hands 10 the Rescue
All hands turned to the rescue. The
men hastened to secure rope that
might be thrown down as life line
but in about ten minutes after the
first fall another smaller fall OF dirt
occurred and then all was sealed, the
probability being that The men were
crushed 10 death by this second fall.
II was impossible to get the bodies
out from above. The only way TO Sc
cure them lay through the chute and
every man in the mine was turned in
TO trammer and work was prosecut-
ed with feverish haste. There evident
ly was lot OF dirt in the chute for
when morning came the bodies had
not been reached and the night shift
continued its efforts to recover the
bodies, every man needed remaining
at his post and wo. king like beavers
all OF the time
The night force was increased by q
portion OF the day force and until
about 1880 o'clock the men worked
hard. Both bodies we're recovered al
about the same time and then al

being done at the property until after

Relief Next Month

The council expects to get relief
next month when, according to law,
the council will raise taxes and after
the appropriation bill has been passed, 4,
a loan can then be negotiated to take
care OF current expenses.
There is much speculation as TO
what the appropriation bill will be.
Most people CONVEX SAINT with public
affairs say that IL cannot be less than
$4,000, which is about $4,000 more
than any other year in the history of
the city.
This increase Is necessitated by the
change from the license TO the no.
license system in this county. In
former years about 1900 have been
realized from liquor licenses. This
money was not forthcoming du ing
the summer and therefore IL must be
got from direct instead Of an In
direct tax.
The city authorities realize the
predicament that the municipality a

To add TO the complications that
confront. from a financial point OF
view, The sum OF $4,000 In bonds are
due, part OF them on the paving and
part on the city hall. The city found
money to pay one bond OF $1,000 and
the bank, which holds the other two
bonds, has consented 10 hold them un-
I'll the city can get hold OF some money
with which to pay them.
In addition to paying up the bonds
mentioned interest coupons to the
extent Of $500 have been paid There
is considerable interest payable each
year and the council expects to take
care OF that item, although this year
II may be necessary to wait short
time on some OF the claims.
The money on hand was $500 short
OF paying up the pay roll for the past
month but II is hoped that the col
lections for light and water will a
mount to enough to pay those claims
within a short time.
In order to scrimp along and
weather the financial storm brought
about by a change in the taxing sys-
tenn. the expenses OF the city have
been cut TO the quick. The street force
has been reduced 10 two men and a
team and next month II is hoped TO
get rid OF the team No street work OF
any kind Is being attempted and none
| will be done until next year. at least
The help in the electric light and
water department has been cut TO the
quick, also. and only bare number
sufficient to keep the wheels moving
at the power plant at on the pay roll.

asked that such course be taken.
Mr. Gardner desires to have the navy
officers named summoned to Wash

estate of Stanhope Provost, to pay him
81, ,117.50 for services and expenses as a
member of a board of arbitration in
1913 over claim of George G. Hobson

With Mr.. Anderson on the board of
arbitration were Robert Lansing, now
Secretary of State, and William L.
Chambers. Mr.. Anderson served as
chairman.
Through Attorneys Wilson, Huide-
koper and Lesh. the petitioner says it
was agreed that he was to be paid
$1,000 by each party to the controversy
and the expenses were to be borne in
equal shares by them.
He states the administrator of the
Hobson estate paid s1.117.50. the share
of that estate to his compensation and
expenses, but that Mr.. Taylor has re-
fused to pay the share of the Provost
estate.
He asserts his claim is proper
charge on the funds in the hands of Mr.
Taylor as administrator and asks that
payment be required.
