outside Of some bad bruises that will
take some time to heal, he is not
much injured
The wreck delayed traffic for sew
eral hours. Many of the passengers
were taken at once to Norway where
they awaited the release of the train.
which was accomplished in a com
paratiyely short time owing to tho

Indictment Weather Interferred With
the Days beings.

The hrst Fourth Of July following
the great war was marrcd by driz-
cling rain that fell all over the upper
peninsula and interfered greatly with
the days doings In every town and
hamlet In the peninsula.
While the rain brought great dis
appointment 10 many In the peninsu-
la Il had its compensation in quench-
ing the great fires that ragged In the
eastern end OF the peninsula and
threatened TO wipe out several Of the
villages In the numbering section.
The Crystal Falls celebration suf-
fered along With all others, The rain
was not falling regularly enough 10
stop the parade and ais 1t didn't be-
gin to rain hard until that function
was we'll oyerwith, the exercises All
the park were carried through with
out interference for the heavy shade
kept the slight rain that was falling
from the assembled people.
The attendance was. OF course,
greatly lessened but there was q
large number OF children on hand &C.
get their ice cream, popcorn and 9th
er goodies that were given away. The
work of doing out the stuff lasted
until noon, and by that time the fall
OF rain had increased SO that 1t was
impossible to pull off the sports that
were planned, so they were postponed
until the following day
In the afternoon the boxing carni-
val was held in the city hall. The af-
fair was very interesting and as 1;
was carried on under the latest APP
proved rules. II was decorons thru
out.
The first bout was to have between
a Milwaukee man and a young man
from Iron River, but our west side
friend failed to show MP and so Mr..
Hart, the refree in all OF the bouts,
took on the Milwaukee man for a
three-round go.
Then followed the big event OF the
day, match between Shimpka OF
this city and a Milwaukee man for 6
rounds. The match was very evenly
balanced for. while Shimpka's oppon-
ent was lighter than he, Shimpka had
had but little training and was not
able TO stand the severe exlrcise as
was his opponent without firing.
Shimpka's work greatly encouraged
his friends in Crystal Falls for he
has 'wallop" that is good TO see, and
with training win develop into some
boxer.
The "windup" was staged to be the
great event Of the day, but It turned
out to be fiasco II was between
two lightweights from Milwaukee,
and went ten rounds. The men were
evidently in an understanding, for al
no time did either exert himself and |
the spectators grew disgusted and |
stless before the bout ended.
A large crowd of spectators was
present and all enjoyed the first box
ing carnival very much.
The evening was occupied with a
oand concert and street dance. About
six o'clock the sky cleared and
evening followed the rainy
lay.
Saturday was given over TO the post
poned sport program in almost all OF
ne towns that had had their celebra-
ion interrupted by rain-crys,al
Falls among them.

CITY LIFE IS DISAPPOINTING

Crystal Falls was as hard hit by
the suspension Of mining operations
AZ any section Of this Lake Superior
district. Four Of our largest lproper-
ties closed during the winter and
spring and some six or seven humid
red men were thrown out OF employ
ment. A large number OF the men SO
east into, idIeness were married men
with families
The other section of the peninsula
that suffered similar misfortune was
the Calumet district of the copper
country. Thousands OF men were
made idle there by the curtailment of
operations at the copper mines.
The misfortune of these two dis
tricts of the peninsula was meat for
the automobile section of Michigan
the territory bounded on the north by
Flint, on the west by Lansing and
the south by the Michigan Ohio line
although sections in Ohio were very
active In the automobile line also.
The section so described was com
monty acknowledge, last spring. to be
the most active part OF the United
States.

Humiliation 10 Complete.
CBy Associated Press


Weimar, June 23.-Thc German dele
CATION to sign the peace treaty probab-
~ VIII be named tonight or tomorrow.
Before the national assembly voted
today to sign the peace terms uncon-
ditionally. fiery appeals in opposition
were made by the democrats and con-
servatives. but they apparently had
little effect, When the vote was call
ed Nll but few members arose to sig
Nifty their affirmation of the govern
ments decision to sign. Once the vote
was taken. gloom appeared to descend
upon the assembly. The most vigorous
opponents of signing were speechless
and seemed to accept the inevitable
with resignation.
Many wild rumors Of what would
happen when 1t became known the as
scmbly had voted almost unanimously
to accept the terms gained currency.
One that appeared to get most SUD-
port was that all the officers Of the
German army would resign II the
government did not refuse to surrender
German leaders, especially Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg and General
Ludendorrf. and defy the allies to
seize the former emperor. In military
and semi-military circles a strong in
sistence has developed that the former
emperor is innocent and that under no
circumstances must he be placed on
trial except In a neutral court.
In some quarters the threat of the
officers to resign was taken most SER
iously on the ground that such action
must pave the way for Spartacan
and communist uprising thruout the
country. 80
