WAS WHITE MURDEREDf
Mystery Surrounds Finding OF Dead
Body Near Eastwood

William White, house mover or
Norway was found in his camp, near
Eastwood on Thursday Of last week,
with bullet hole through his heart.
Indications pointed TO the fact that
the man was pealipg potatoes when
the fatal bullet struck him.
Three men, employed by Mr.. White,
were cutting hay In the swamp near
the camp and heard the shot, but paid
no attention to IT, When they came
TO camp for dinner they found the
PROSTATE form OF their employer
where IL had fallen.
The men hurried to Basswoof and
sent a telegram TO Coroner Hamilton
and Undertaken w. 8. Johns al Iron
River. The body was removed the
following day and brought to Iron
River. From there IL was shipped TO
Norway.
No clue has been obtained so far as
to the identity of the murderer OF
White. whether he was accidentally
shot by hunters in the woods. or was
struck by stray bullet. The three
men at work in the swamp say they
heard only one shot. and this adds
color to the belief that White was de-
liberately murdered Mr. White was
cooking for the men in his camp.
The coroner's jury, accompanied by
Prosecuting Attorney Waffen visited
the scene OF the shooting again last
Monday at which time an inquest was
held, which lasted well into the fol-
lowing day. The coroner's jury re-
turned verdict OF "shot by unknown
persons, Intentionally"
Evidence was plainly shown that the
man was not shot accidentally and the
authorities have two theories to work
on. The first. that he had some enemy
who followed him TO the camping
grounds and when a good opportunity
afforded, killed his victim, or that the
unfortunate man may have been the
victim OF stray bullet. Another
theory advanced by the authorities IL
that White, who resembles game war
den Rowett somewhat In appearance,
may have been mistaken by some
game law violator for the latter, and
shot. Outside of that IL now remains
question OF whether a stray bullet
hit the man or whether he was muir
dered
II is reported that several suspects
are being held in connection with the
case but the authorities are no,
ready TO give anything out in this, as
yet.

gasoline must be removed at once and
put in tank not less than ten feet

AMMUNITION PRICES GONG UP

Every time hunter pulls the trig-
ger on a shotgun she'll this fall II will
mean that he has exploded about 3sh
cents worth OF ammunition, that is, /.
he is using the high grade shells.
which cost so cents box
Prices on all grades of shotgun
shells have advanced five cents box
over what the Nimrods paid for them
last year. according to dealers. The
reason is the advancing cost OF raw
materials. Hunters who seek to evade
the increase by filling their old shells
this year will find that an even higher
rate OF increase has taken effect.
The ammunition factories have re-
ceived such large orders for bullets
and powder Of all kinds that the raw
material market has been affected.
The American hunter ia not being
made 20 compete with the European
purchasers. II is said, as the warning
nations are paying prices which
would be prohibitiye OF competition by
hunters
About a week ago the Winchester
people advised dealers OF an increase
OF 10 per cent in the cost prices for
rifles and shotguns, and since that
time the other gun companies have
done the same.

TAKES POISON
BY MISTAKE
cARB0uC ACID FATAL r0 PHILLIP
PHILLIPS
HAD ACID AMONG MEDICINE
Was a Prominent Jewish Resident
of This City--Body to
Marinette

Phillip Phillips, prominent Jewish
resident OF this city, passed away at
his home in Maple Grove early last
Tuesday morning, after having swal-
lowed quantity of carbolic acid
which he mistook for medicine.
Mr.. Phillips had not been in the best
OF health the past few weeks and had
been taking treatment at the hospital
of DR.. Larson. He had medicine home
on the shelf for himself, and other diff
ferent bottles for the children. and
among this-out OF reach of the child
ren-was standing bottle OF carbolic
acid, which Mr.. Phillips had been in
the habit OF using as a foot wash, by
diluting 1t with warm water
II is the supposition that when he
came home from his place OF business
on Monday night at about 1l:00 o.
clock he went to bed for short time
and during the night took sick spell
and in a fainting way reached for a
bottle OF medicine, his hands coming
in contact with the fatal bottle.
A noise, as IL someone falling 10 the
floor, woke up the oldest daughter,
who got up from bed and saw her
father lying on the floor She rushed
to bring him some water and when
she returned to his side found him al
most helpless. after which she woke up
her mother. When Mrs. Phillips
reached his side he was breathing his
last and was unable 10 talk 10 her.
Coroner Dawson was notified and
an inquest was held over the body on
Tuesday afternoon at which time the
coroner's jury after close investi-
cation, brought in verfict that the
deceased came to his death by taking
carbolic acid by mistake. This was
the attending physicians statement
also.
Mr.. Phillips came TO this city from
London, with his wife, about ten years
ago and entered the employ of Nathan
warshawsky, then in the saloon busi-
ness He remained behind the bar for
Mr.. warshawsky up 10 the time the
saloons were voted out of the city,
after which he started temperance
saloon in the old stand formerly oc-
cupied by Terry Behan as saloon
He conducted this business up to the
time OF his death
He was brother of Mrs. Nathan
warshawsky of this city and was held
in high esteem by the Jewish people
OF this city as we'll as others whc
knew him.
He Is survived by wife and -four
children, two boys and two girls, tn.
Oldest child IL years and the youngest
is months.
The remains were taken from thil
city over the ~ w line on Tuesda.
