Something New in Minstrels,"
staged at the city hall auditorium
Monday evening by the Crystal Falls
Minstrel Co, under the direction OF

ney" Ten Hoopen; cashier, Miss Bes-
| sic Sensiba; first lieutenant OF tho
! aviation, Connie Cox; traffic cop and
bus boy, Clarence Picord. Eeach one
OF the cast were stars. and a number
that fairly brought down the house,
was the juggling la handspring stunt
by Clarence Picord.
Guests at the cafe and members OF
the chorus were: George Cassidy,
John Cassidy. Frank Hollow, William
Richards, Edward Cayia, Charles
Richards, Arnold Soderberg. Dorman

John Burns, son OF Mrs. Mike Burns
OF the Burns addition, accidentally
came to his death yesterday morning
about O'Clock at the home of Mrs.
McColman, when rife he was clean
ing was discharged, the bullet strik-
ing him in the center Of the forehead.
He died instantly. No one was in the
house at the time, SO the exact ma
ture as how he came to his death is
not known. AT an the inquest held
yesterday morning the jury, after
careful investigation, came 10 the con-
clusion that death was accidental, and
not intentional, as was reported.
Deceased was recently discharged
from the army, arriving home during
the month OF February. While in ac-
tive service overseas he was wounded
in the head by shrapnel, and while
TO all appearances he had completely
recovered, II is reported that he sus-
tanned internal injuries from which
he had constantly suffered, especially
from aching pains in the head.
1t was 10 divert his attention from
this trouble that he went to the Nc

where he could be with friend Of
his, John Rumbolz, who had also re-
Gently returned from France, and
with whom he had grown TO manhood.
The two and spent much time fish
ing together during the two days
previous TO the accident, and IL is
reported that the deceased was in the
best Of spirits, having greatly en-
joyed a game OF cards on the night
previous. Yesterday morning Rum
bolz is said TO have gone out to mend
fence for Mrs. Mccolman, for whom
he worked. and deceased remained in
the room provided for his friend
1
All that is known after that, is that
shot was heard and Rumboltz hur-
ried 10 the house TO find Mr.. Burns
on the floor and the rife lying beside
him. He was fully dressed and wore
his coat and cap, apparently ready
to 20 out, and Il is believed that he
was about TO go out target shooting
and was giving his gun final exam
ination when the accident occurred.
Deceased was born at oconto Falls,
Wis, on November 9th, 1888, being
but 81 years OF age. When only two
years old he came TO this village with
his parents, and had lived here ever
since.
He was a graduate OF the Iron Riv-
er high school, being member OF
the class OF 1910, and also attended
Marquette university at Milwaukee.
For many years he was in the employ
OF Friend a. Peterson. He enlisted
in the army in the fall Of 1917 and
spent over a year in France, where
he was seriously wounded. He was
discharged from Camp Custer in Feb
ruary and had remained at home ever
since. lie Is survived by his mother
ami one brother, Frank. who reside
at the Burns addition.
The deceased was known to every
one in Iron River, his quiet manner
and kind disposition making him one
OF the most respected and esteemed
young men in the village. He unex-
pected death comes as a great shock
to his friends who will mourn his loss

CHANCES ARE THAT Jury WILL BE
KEPT BUSY UNTIL NEXT WEEK
BISHOP CASE ENDS ABRUPTLY
Judge Flanagan Directed a Verdict
for the Defendant on the
Limitations Statute

This has been a busy week for
Judge Flanagan in the circuit court
for this county Court re-convened
last Monday with the jury reporting
for duty again after two weeks va
cation. In order TO bring the list OF
jurors up to number necessary 10
do business freely, Judge Flanagan
ordered dozen additional jurors
summoned and Sheriff Wilson was
kept busy Monday notifying these
new men to be on hand.
Bishop Case First Up.
The first case taken up was that
OF John Berti, by Alphonse Berti, his
next friend VS., Alfred f. Bishop. This
case arose from a chastisement given
young Berti by Prof. Bishop while
the latter was teaching in the STAN
baugh schools.
1t was a very unfortunate affair for
both Mr. Bishop and the boy as it
gave considerable notoriety to an act
ion that would just as we'll have re-
NAMED in the background The boys
leg was injured He and his father
claimed that il was the result OF the
punishment given him by Prof. Bishop
the latter having admitted shaken
the youth, but stoutly denied having
mistreated him in any way, especial
ly as the complainant claimed. Many
witnesses were brought 10 substan-
tiate the case OF young Berti and the
trial lasted through Monday and an
I'll late in the afternoon on Tuesday
when the question Of whether the
statute OF limitations ran agains. the
complainant came up. Judge Flanni-
gan, upon hearing the facts as to the
time at which the alleged action took
place, directed verdict for the de-
fendant upon the ground that action
had not been commenced within the
three years provided for in the stat
ute. Thus the case ended in victory
for Mr.. Bishop who is now superin-
tendent Of the Bates township schools
and one OF the leading educators in
the county

CRYSTAL FALLS LIST IS GREATLY
INCREASED
GOOD ROADS IS THE MAGNET
Back to the Land Movement Has
Taken Hold and Much
Land is Sold

Crystal Falls has Witnessed the
biggest back to the land" movement
this spring that II has seen in its
history More farmers have moved
upon farms this year than ever be-
fore in the history OF this section OF
the county. In addition 10 the num-
Der that have actually moved out up
on lands they purchased, there Is a
large number that have bought lands
with the idea OF moving upon them
Just as soon as they can get them
paid for. They will stay at the mines
as long as the high wages keep up,
but as soon as they laid of at the
mines they will hike out to their 40s
OF cut-oyer land and start making a
home.
This movement is more apparent to
the northwest OF the city where al
most all OF section 13,43-33 has been
sold 10 farmers within the past few
months Along the new road to Am
asa several farms have been pur-
chased and the owners of some OF
them are now taking possession.
In the vicinity of Balsam there have
been six or seven farmers located
during the year and that section il
going 10 be one OF the biggest farm
ing districts in the county in very
short time Judging from the number
of settlers that are seeking land in
that vicinity.

Good Roads the Magnet.

The magnet that is attracting these
farmers is the good roads that are
being built. II one wants proof Of
this statement all be has TO do is 10
drive along some Of our recently built
good roads and note the number OF
settlers that settled along them.
Take the county road between this
city and Iron River as sample.
Farms are springing up all along the
road between here and the sand
plains. The clearing and fencing OF
these farms has changed the appear
ance OF the district very much. and
we prophecy that inside OF FIVE years
every available forty acres OF land
on that road will be farmed. The
same is true OF the land along the
Crystal Florence road and the
Amasa road also

Hanrahan VS.. Montambo.

The next case taken up was that
OF Mr. Hanrahan OF Pentoga against
Thomas Montambo, the well known
lumberman. also OF pentoga. The
action was for damages sustained by
Mr.. Hanrahan in an alteration with
the defendant in which he came oui

The complainant claimed damages
from the assault in the sum Of 81 SOC
and introduced testimony 20 substan
tiate his claim OF damages.
Mr.. Montambo introduced much
testimony tending to show that the
complainant has received no injury
other than the humiliation which de-
fendant claimed he deserved.
The case ran through two days
and was given to the jury Thursday
morning. The jury returned a yer
dict in favor OF Hanrahan for s1s7.O 90

Needs Land Agency.

This county needs land agency
badly Very much OF the land that is
being sold these days is sold on what
are known as easy payments. The
purchaser pays about tenth OF the
price down and adds tenth each
year so that the purchase price new
er burdens him, the payments COM
ing along in such small amounts that
he can easily meet them.
A land agency could facilitate this
sale OF land very much. There really
ought 10 be two agencies located in
the county, one 10 handle the lands on
