TRAIN TRANSFERRED
Milwaukee Passenger Came In Over
North Western Road Tuesday

: Last Tuesday morning the Chicago
Milwaukee & St Paul passenger came
in over the Northwestern line. The
transfer was made necessary on ac-
count OF the day coach and sleepers
OF the Copper Range flyer, due Ia Iron
Mountain in the early hours OF the
morning, being derailed one and one
half miles from Claiming. No one
was injured. Ii is not known at this
writing what caused the derailment.
The track was torn up for a distance
OF about 500 feet but neither OF the
derailed coaches tipped over. The peo-
pie were transferred to the smoker
and the train proceeded on its way.
The passenger due here at 900 A. M.
was transferred over to the c. &. N.
w. and came 10 this city where
il transferred over TO its own line and
proceeded to Claiming and made
connections with the main line there.
The ST. Paul also returned over the
N. w. at 1l:00 and went over the

GYPsIEs IN AUTOS
Reported That They Are Headed This
Way From The Copper Country

report from Marquette says that
a band OF Gypsies have made their
appearance near that city lately and
they are reported to be headed this
way from the copper country In
automobiles. II is expected the police
will be on the lookout to prevent the
wanderers from camping within the
city limits.
II is apparent the nomads have de-
serted the horse as a.means OF motive
power. in order that they may cover
more territory during a seasons ram
bles. They no longer spend their time
horse-trading. but confine their acti-
vities to selling beads, baskets and
blankets and telling fortunes. Fre-
quently, when the provisions threaten
TO give out, they make a midnight
raid on conyeniently-located farm
yard and carry of I'm their motor
trucks pigs. chickens. vegetables and
other farm products.
The autos also come in very handy
following one OF these raids. Instead
OF having TO apply the whip TO the
jaded animal that has had to help in
the escape in the past. they merely
pack the women and children in the
back seats, where they indulge In the
luxury of the twelve inch upholstery
while the men proceed to put distance
between themselves and the scene Of
their foraging.

The latest change in the primary
ballot law is a return to an old con-
dition. though with slight modifica-
tion. The law originally compelled
the printing OF separate ballots for
each party. Then IL switched to a
blanket ballot Now IL has reversed
itself and separate ballots for the
vrious parties must be printed but
they will be all on the white paper,
whereas originally each party had a
separate color. II may be that this
year the legislators had in mind the
death OF German dyes in making the
law and II may be that they did not.
The legislative mind is to deep a well
