tween IL and / o'clock

years old, both laborers.
The man who is held charged with
the shooting which ended in the
deaths Of the other two is Ehzole Zac-
cazri, 10 years old.
According to information received
here the trouble started at the candy
store of vittorio Gianasarti in the
northern part OF the city Of Iron
Mountain.
What started the original argument
is unknown but the discussion ended
few minutes later in free-for-all
fight in which several men received
severe cuts
steel knuckles played a prominent
part in this fight, one man being bad
ly cut up by an assailant wearing
these weapons
Giuncio and Anunzlo left the store

to the Iron Mountain authorities.
young Zaccazri seized shotgun
and followed them.
Two shots were fired from the gun,
the first barrel taking effect on Giun-
clio, killing him almost instantly, and
the second struck Anuncio in the
back Anuncio died a few minutes
later.
After the shooting the young man
is said TO have gone to his boarding
house. Officers found him in bed a
few minutes later and placed him un-
der arrest.

Last Tuesday was ground hog day
and according to tradition that little
animal, after taking one peep out
side of his hole, ducked back and
pulled the hole in after him where he
will remain for at least six weeks

Tuesday was a beautiful day here

weather condition that ruled further

The sun shone out brightly and It
seemed hard to understand why the

NAY AVOID An ELECTION
When Candidate Is Unopposed Ills
Name May Go 10 Election

Our attention has been called TO a
provision in the primary law where
by it is possible to avoid a primary
for county commissioner OF schools.
The matter referred to is found in a
portion OF Sec. IL, primary election
laws and was passed at the solicita-
tion of w. Frank James when state
senator II reads as follows:
Provided that il upon the expira-
ton of the time for filing petitions in
any primary for city or county, It
appears that there is no opposition
to any candidate for any Office upon
any ticket, then the city or county
clerk, as the case may be, shall GER
tify 10 the board Of election commits
sioners, the names OF all persons
whose petitions have been properly
filed. and the Office for which such
petitions were fled and such persons
shall be declared by such board Of
election commissioners nominees
for the respective offices and such
clerk shall forthwith notify the sher-
iG of the county and the several
clerks OF the townships interested,
il any, and give notice that the pri-
mary will not be held as contem-
plated, giving the reasons therefore,
and public notice shall be given of
such determination by a brief notice
published by such clerk in a news
paper published in such county
Should John Mason be unopposed
at the primary, as we hope he will
be, primary election Is not neces-
sary, the county clerk certifying his
name directly TO the election com
missioners.
