HIGHER NE tai PRICES
AS A RESULT MANY MINES IN
SPELTER BELT RESUME OPER-
ATIONS-GOOD PROSPECTS.

The increase in the price of zinc
and lead ores has caused a renewed
activity in the mining region of
Grant, Iowa and Lafayette counties.
Other mines that were running light
have increased forces and are making
the most Of the better prices.
The Yewdell-Dale mine near Liv-
ingston has begun work with Good
sell Billings in charge. The Big
Dick has made a good strike and the
Little Dick looks equally prosperous.
The Bull Moose has begun again and
the Blockhouse mine is being pumped
out and made ready for mining.
The Mineral Point Zinc company,
the big refinery, has had its assess
ment raised from 1851, 675 last year
to $633,080 this year. Everything in
the district looks better than it has
for some time past

THE MINSTREL SHOW
AT RICHLAND CENTER.

Lancaster showed the friendly spir-
it that is her own, when a score of
business men drove over on Friday to
enjoy Honor Day and to contribute
their bit to the great volume of de-
light that the event had brought forth.
They we're an easy bunch to enter
tain, for they needed no more than
the generous welcome that was hand
ed out to every human being present.
This minstrel show is an annual
event in Lancaster, and whenever the
burt cork is applied there is fun set
a-foot in that good town. The per-
sonnet of the company is rs follows:
End men-Fred Burr, E. l.. Mccoy
(known as "Buck'') George Mccarthy
and Will Morse And these men Iiv--
ed up to the parts. Big Buck Nc
Coy cant help being funny, even if
Ehe tries; Fred Burr was ct his BEST
and George Mccarthy and Will Morse
never did their stunts better than they
did on last Friday evening. Oscar W.
Wright, proprietor of the Wright
house, directed the music, and George
@. Sykes was interlocutor. Earl Ivey
presided at the piano and he is a
finished musician.
There were delightful songs, each
with a chorus, the titles of which we
may not give, as we were not furnish
ed with a program. The bones fur
nished the snappy time for the sing
ing, and between songs the end men
sprung jokes that were not only new
but they were really funny as the
large audience appreciated The
minstrel show was staged on the big
platform back of the courthouse and
the rows of seats were packed with
eager and responsive listeners. A
vaudeville sketch was put on after
the circle had disbanded, and this
brought out the versatile talent of
the end men from another angle. Dr.
~. G. Doolittle and family staged a
mystifying feat of magic. with which
the splendi Entertainment ended AS
one of the committee of arrangements
remarked: That was line ending Of
a fine day"

ARCHIE DURNI MEETS
WITH TERRIFIC FALL

Archie Durni employed on the Guy
Walker farm in No. Lancaster, was
the victim of terrific accident last
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Durni was
working in the barn and side-stepped
to avoid forkful of hay. He stepped
backwards into a hay chute and
plunged straight down thirty feet.
Landing he struck straddle of a gate
that had upward projecting Stats. The
Walkers assisted Durni to the house
and DR.. Kraut was called. The in
jlred man sustained severe hurts to
the lower part of his body and his
head and trunk were badly cut by
projections struck on the way down.
While the swelling is enormous and
the pain fearful the physician found
no broken bones or evidence of in
ternal injury.

HOME FROM OVERSEAS.

Wesley Walker returned home Sat
urday having spent a year overseas
in ordnance work in the Toul sector
of France. Wesley was in the Ar
gonne-Meuse drive and saw a lot OF
service altho no direct fighting. He
says the French are beginning to
move back into their ruined cities and
villages and to put up pathetic little
one and two story huts to live in. The
entire war area is a wreck and ruin
still No Mans land so far as utility
is concerned. Asked if the French
felt forgiving toward those who had
wronged them so greatly Wesley shook
his head and inferred that the feeling
was the opposite of love. During his
stay abroad weekly visits of the HER
AID ws.e regular and greatly appre-
lated by Wesley and many other sol
dlers from this country.

CONSIDER SANITORIUM PLANS.

Before Grant county can build a
tuberculosis sanitorium and receive
state patients for treatment at the in
stitution, the law prescribes that the
state board of control must approve
of the site, plans, etc. The state was
given official notice recently that this
procedure was desired previous to
calling the special session of the coun-
ty board. The county clerk is in re-
ceipt of notice that the state board
of control will meet at Lancaster on
July 30th to inspect plans and pass
approval on the proposed site.

lis last Thursday morning. Their son,
Ed. and wife and daughter, Edna, mo-
tored down the day before and took
Mr.. and Mrs. Angus back with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Angus have lived in the
county their married life, a half a
century. They reared large family
who located at other points but al
ways regarded this city as "home. :

A WONDERFUL HEN.

Hundreds of people have gone to
West Salem to see the hen on the
Rhodes farm that lays % eggs per
week. Many dug at the straw and
strained the feed box to see if an egg
chute was concealed. Friday she lay
ed 8 eggs in 45 minutes. Prof Halpin
of the university thinks the hen may
be made the foundation for a new
strain of poultry that will lay two or
three eggs a day just as the cows have
been bred to triple their milk yield. A
price of $500 has been placed on the
chicken. She will be exhibited 1t the
state fair.

CRAzED FARMLAND
SHOOTS EMPLOYER,
KILLS SELF LATER
EDMUND BERNHARDT, Blue RIv-
Err, GOES AMUCK OVER FANCIED
WRONG LOSES ARM.

Theodore Chezick, young farmer
living one mile west of Blue River,
had his arm riddled with gunshots so
badly that it had to be amputated lat
er and Edmund Bernhard, 81, is dead
by his own hand as the result of a
terrifying episode taking place on the
Chezick place last Wednesday night.
The trouble began Wednesday ev-
ening about o'clock The Chezicks
noticed strange actions from Bern
hardt for several days but paid no at
tentiOn to him. On the evening of the
shooting the family prepared to visit
neighbor Bernhard grumbled say
ing that he was well treated during
the war but now the Chezicks ignored
him. Chezick explained that he ex-
pected to take Bernhard along but
had not asked him yet. He then went
to the barn to get his car. While
there his wife came down saying that
Bernhard was getting wild and that
the farmer had better come to the
house.
Chezick drove up ant Mrs Che7ick
and the children got in the car. Bern
hardt was armed with 2x4 timber
and cursing loudly. Chezick got "a
rock and the two men argued Chezick
finally offering to pay the hand of
and settle the matter. He went to get
his checkbook and turning around
found Bernhard standing in the door
with repeating shotgun which be-
Ionged to Chezik. The hand had gone
in and procured the gun Chezik
threw up his hands and asked Bern
hardt not to shoot AS he did so the
hand fired the charge striking Chez
lex in the right arm and Kidding it
from the elbow down.
Chezick then ran and the hand fired
again but missed the shot rafting
around Chez;ck's feet. Chezik kept
on running. Mrs. Chezik who was a
Mortified spectator of the affair took
the two children and ran for the corn
field. AS she ran she heard Bern
hardt shoot and say, y will kill eT-
cry living thing on the place" Mrs.
Chezick kept on running and joined
her husband who had circled to meet
her. Together they hurried to the
nearest neighbours and gave the
alarm.
Sheriff He'll and Deputy Wright were
notified at once and they went inn
mediately to Blue River. 1t was dark
when they arrived and suspecting that
Bernhardt might leave the country
they first saw that all outlets were
watched. At daybreak they went to
the Chezick place and after search
found the body of the hand in the field.
He had shot himself.
The gun, a repeater, contained but
two shots or Bernhard would have no
doubt kept his word and killed every
living thing himself included. Five
minutes after the shooting Chezick
heard another shot and it is supposed
that Bernhard loaded the gun with
one shell and killed himself. The
body was badly torn and the clothing
burned by the explosion.
Chezick was taken to Brookside hos
pital, BoscObel, where his arm was
removed below the elbow the next
day. He seems to be resting we'll
and under the circumstances consid-
ers himself lucky. Bernhardt hailed
from Missouri. For three seasons he
came and worked in the summer re-
turning in the fall. Last fall his
mother, sister and brother, came to
Blue River to reside.

mission into the Elk lodge at La

pect to receive instructions into the
mysteries of the order about Ar.
mistice Day night or shortly there
after. Four or five more from here
are in line for initiation also.
Among the "old bucks is none
other than Ike Cannon. It's need
less to say that there will be com
motion in the forest if there is any
funny business when it comes to
Ike's particular case. James
Smith, state brand and cattle in
spectOr of Lamar was here and took
the applications Saturday night.
There are already between 30 and
40 Elks in and around Holly and a
full f1edged Lodge might easily be
organized here if only the pOpula-
tion of the town met the require
ments-5O00 people. However, this
is matter of only couple OF
