MEETS DEATH IN
PECULIAR MANNER

Jacob Kuusisto. q farmer Of Herman,
died at the L'Anse Pharmacy Tuesday
morning at II o'clock, 40 result of
being burned by carbol;c acid.
Mr.. Kuusisto came to L'Anse Mon
day morning and spent the day in town.
going to the depot at seven o'clock in
the evening. 1t seems that he had pur-
chased bottle Of carbolic acid during
the day and in some way the acid ran
out in his pocket and burnt him about
the hip and thigh while he was at the
depot in the evening. He was found
unconscious by the Night Operator
Dominick Albert, shortly after mid
night, and Sheriff H. ]. Pennock, DR..
w. A. Won Zellen and William Sterk
brought the injured man to the phar-
macy. where everything possible was
done to save his life, but to no avail.
Mr.. Kuusisto. was born in Finland
June 2, 1864 and has been resident of
Herman the past ten or eleven years,
He was an energetic man, and being
industrious and frugal, had made q
nice home and farm for himself and
family. He is survived by a wife and
two sons, Jacob of Canada and Walter
Of Herman.
The remains were taken to Herman
Wednesday.

The teams lined 10 As follows: :
Michiaamme Defeated.

Three Michigsmme basketball teams
met the local high school teams at the
Opera House last Friday evening. all
games being won by L'Anse,
The boys game, was won by score
of 72 to 8,the first girls team tri-
umphed by score of Is to IL, and our
junior girls succeeded in running up q
score Of IS to 8.
The L'Anse teams were superior in
all departments, and although the boys
game was little rougher than neces-
sary at times. We are Of the opinion
that had Michigamme brought along q
referee that was qualified to render de-
cisions, the farce the game was at times
would have been done away. The
roughness nearly ALWAYS started when
players struggled for possession Of the
ball, and with the wh8tle blown for q
held ball at the proper time by the ref
cree, this would have been avoided.
The Michigamme boys team was com.
posed Of but three qualified high school
players.

thseouple on their wedding anniversary.
Neither Of the principals expected com
pany. The astonishiment Of the visitors
may be imagined when they heard the
husband call his wife down. He made
no bones Of it. 1t was done openly and
without even q hint Of apology to the
guests. The shocking part Of 1t 10 the
fact that everyone, even the closest
friends Of the couple, had no idea but
that their home life was ideal. Never
theless-and we have the best Of author
ity for the story-when the company ar
rived they were met at the door by the
astonished husband. As soon as the
first greetings were over he said "my
wife is up stairs, ! will call her down. .
And he did.

NAMED 10 ADVISE
ON TRUNK LINE.

On Tuesday the Houghton County
Farm Bureau and the Copper Country
Commercial Club appointed commit
tee to consider plan for trunk line
between Houghton and the Iron coun-
ties, Baraga county being hcnored by
having two Of its most active and sue
cessful business men named, L. G.
Hillyer. president and general manag-
er of the Baraga Lumber Co. Of Bara-
ga and F. w. Hebard. general manag-
er and superintendent Of Charles He
bard & Sons lumber company OF Pc
quaming.
The selection of Messrs. Hebard and
Hillyer to serve on this committee will
assure Baraga county of the best rep
resentation possible. Both of these
gentlemen are in favor of good roads
and are conservative and their dealing
with this proposition will be Of great
help to this section.
A large expenditure has already been
made on trunk route in this county,
L'Anse and Covington townships both
bonding for that purpose. We need
good roads. not only trunk highway,
but roads for the settlers who are the
making of this country. During the
past two years every township in Bar
aga county has built number Of miles
of new roads to benefit the newcomers,
no bonds being issued for this purpqse
but the necessary funds being raised
each year by taxation. The people
should bear in mind that the tax rate
has been climbing year after year,
owing to heavy bond issues Of L'Anse
township and village. and If the people
Of this community are not careful and
other bond issues are made. the exor-
bitant tax rate will drive future home
seekers to places where they are not
taxed to death. Good roods can only
come after careful expenditure Of
public moneys. Wastsful extravagance
Of these funds will cause burden which
the taxpayers will not tolerate.
The gentlemen appointed on the COM
mittee will be competent to advise the
people regarding what shall be done.
