Council Expects to Eri,c q Municipa
Skating Rink. Site Near Town
Hall Is Favored.

The village fathers contemplate the
erection Of municipal skating rink,
a news note which will be gratefully
received by both young and old.
The site has not been definitely de-
cided upon as yet. but as good loca-
tion as can be found is the vacant prop
erty opposite the Town Hall. across the
road. 1t il q fairly level stretch of
ground and is near the hydrant for
flooding. The old boards in the park
pavilion can be used for siding and
thus the rink will be built at little or
no expense.
We might be able ostage some good
hickey games here this winter also.

SHERIFF PENNOCK
HAS CLOSE CALL.
Shot At while ArrestinB Fellows Who
Broke Into Bsrsea County scores
Few Weeks Ago.

That it does not pay to burglarize
stores, especially those in Baraga coun-
ty, will be the verdict of Eli Gagnon
and Charles Kinery. the two young
fellows who are lodged in the Hough-
ton county Jail awaiting trial, both on
a charge of burglary and the former
also on charge of assault with intent
to murder Sheriff Pennock.
Announcement was made last week
of the capture by the sheriff, no fur
ther information being available at the
time. Since then it has been learned
that Sheriff Pennock and Undersheriff
Heikkila of Houghton county were
lucky to escape with their lives. AS
the sheriffs.sys, luck Just happened to
break in their favor.
Information leading to the arrest
was secured from peddler named
Brill. He had been having hard
time making any sales due to the
fact that the robbers were selling their
goods for practically nothing, one in
stance being the sale of twelve shirts
for $1.2O. He mentioned the matter in
Baraga and Sheriff Pennock immedi-
ately got into communication with
him, Brill Offering to show the officers
where the men were living near Chas-
sell. The sheriff. Brill and Heikkila
visited the shack last Friday morning
and surprised the two men in bed. Cow
ering them with q gun and securing
several revolvers in the search, the
men were ordered to get up and dress.
In going into the next room, Gagnon
grabbed revolver from the cupboard
and covered the sheriff. Pennock did
not lose any time, however. but inn
mediately grappled with him, the two
shots Gagnon fred going wild. Hear
ing firing behind Kim, Pennock thonght
that his partners were done for, out
after Gagnon had been subdued it was
found that Brill had done the second
shooting, although it was supposed all
the time that he was unarmed.
Kinery and Gagnon have since signed
statements confessing to several rob-
berries. Kinery says that they entered
Nesbitt's hardware in Baraga and took
a number of knives, pistols and flash
lights. At the same time they entered
CohPs store next door and secured
sweaters, socks and other wearing ap-
parel. Later they came to L'Anse
and burglarized the Sicotte and Smith
stores, securing several hundred dol
lars worth of shoes, suits, underwear,
etc. They have also confessed to en-
tering the Pelto tailoring shop in
Hancock. as well as breaking into sew
eral box cars.
