county whose names appear FIRST
on the list of numbers drawn. The
examinations will be held next
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
August 9, 10 and II. 1t is expect
ed the work of examination will be
finished in three days. The first
contingent of 76 have been notified
to appear for examination Thurs
day, the first day, another contin
gent of 76 on the second day and
the third contingent on the third
day. The first ia who are physi.
cally fit and not exempted will
constitute Iron county's quota of
the draft army. The official no.
tiCes of the call for examination

Freight Wrecked at EIco.

A locomotive was demolished
and several cars knocked off the
track on the Chicago < Northwest
ern railroad at Elco, a small station
this side of Amigo, last Saturday
night. No one was injured but
the property loss is said to have
been 800, 900, and the story is
that the wreck was caused on ac-
count of the engineer and fireman
getting into a row and neglecting
TO attend to their duties. Train
No. III, due at Hurley at 6:3O,
was forced to go around bv way
Of Watersmeet on account of the
wreck being on the main line. and
did not arrive here until IL o clock
in the forenoon.
There are, OF course, two sides
TO the story; but all stories of the
affair agree that the steam Contin-
ued getting low. and the engineer
laid it to his fireman for not keep
ing up steam and the fireman to
the engineer, claiming the engi-
neer was batting her too hard
Words led to blows and soon the
engine stopped for want OF steam
as neither men were attending to
their duties.
As soon as the train stopped the
two men leaped from the cab and
proceeded to have it out in a fist
fight on the railroad right of way.
The crew in the Caboose at the
rear end of the train knew some
thing was wrong. The conductor
thought, however, that the train
had stopped 70 let another pass on
the side track. The brakeman
thought that the air brake line had
been parted, stopping the train,
ard started looking for the place
Behind the standing freight rum
bled another train. On it came
faster and faster, and with no one

rear end. The locomotive was
completely demolished and several
cars knocked of the track Fire
started and burned several cars.

CURNEY MILL BURNED.
Saw Mill of the Gurney Lumber Co.
Struck By Lightning and Burned to
the Ground Tuesday Morning.

The Gurney Lumber Co. suffered
the loss of its saw mill plant at
Gurney early Tuesday morning
when the entire plant, with the ex-
ception of the planning mill
was destroyed by fire. The fire
occurred at 4:5o in the morning,
and as the mill was not working it
Is thought that the fire was started
by the mill being struck by light
ming, a hard electrical storm sweep
ing over the village at the time.
The plant has been running days
only of late with a crew OF about
thirty After the fire had been
discovered the crew and the entire
village population turned out and
by good work saved the lumber in
the yards. The heavy rain at the
time helped materially in the FIRE
fighting work The loss is esti-
mated at about SIS, 900, partially
covered by insurance.
Mr.. Walsh, of Chicago, manager
OF the Gurney Lumber Co., was in
Gurney at the time and witnessed
the destruction of the plant. He
stated that he did not know wheth-
er the mill would be rebuilt or not,
and that he could not say definitely
regarding the rebuilding of the
mill until he had conferred with
other officers in the company. J.
S. Leavitt was the local manager
OF the mill at Gurney.
The destruction of the mill is a
great loss to the thriving little vii
lage, and it is hoped that a decis-
ion to rebuild will be made.
