ALEX d. ROGERS

| Last Monday morning Alex ID. Rog-
ers, register OF deeds OF Iron county
passed from this life at his home on
Crystal Avenue after lingering ILL
ness of over a years duration.
Mr.. Rogers continued at his work
long after his affliction came to him.
He had heart trouble and finally it
became impossible for him to go to
the courthouse, the light exertion
of walking two blocks was too much
for him.
He stopped going to his office last
fall and thought that after rest he
would be able TO again take up his
work but the results were not as good
as were expected He grew slowly
worse until death came to relieve him.
Alexander ID. Rogers was born Feb
ruary 26, 1853 in the Madras Presid-
ency. East India. the eldest son of
Rev. and Mrs. John Rodgers, a gov
ernment chaplain during the East
Indian mutiny.
Mr.. Rogers spent the major por-
ton of his life in the eastern parts
; OF Europe and Asia. He was for many
years stationed at Vienna and had
many interesting tales to tell of the
people with whome he lived during
the many years that he followed his
business, that OF leather dealer.
He came TO the United States In
1895 and after short time spent Mas
sechusetts, came on 10 Crystal Falls
where his brother. Charles M. Ro-
gers resided. arriving here In 1896.
He was a deputy register OF deeds
under Irving H. Jackson and at the
expiration OF Mr.. Jackson's term he
succeeded that gentleman in the Office
and has held II without opposition
since that time.
Mr.. Rogers was a polished gentle
man, his business before coming 70
Crystal Falls bringing him into con-
tact with the higher class merchants
OF the East. He was well along In life
when he came to Crystal Falls SO
that his neighbors here never got TO
know him as he was In his days of
greatest activity. but his old training
habits remained with him and he was
ever and anon gentleman.
He IL survived by a wife, Mary c.
Rogers, son. Alex G. Rogers OF
West Palm Beach. brother. Charles
M. Rogers OF Crystal Falls and sis
ter. Agnes M. Rogers OF Aaling.
Middlesex, England.

ried to Miss Ernestine Nadeau OF

HIGH SCHOOL WINS TWO
Trims Iron Mountain and Norway on
Own Floor 10 TO rs and ss 10 IA

The Crystal Falls High SshooI has
ket ball team successfully invaded
iron Mountain and Norway Friday and
saturday OF last week, and returned
with the long end OF both scores.
ihese victories give the locals a rec
ord OF six games won and none lost
the best record OF any Range team
this year.
Inc game at Iron Mountain last Fri.
day night was fast and hard fought
Iron Mountin put up harder fight
than the score indicates. and the
game was not over until the final
whistle. Iron Mountain had adyerriz-
ed the contest as the big game OF tho
season. and the largest crowed in two
years say the home team beaten.
The features Of the game were the
team work OF the Crystal Falls Quin-
tette and the shooting of Kieren, Cry-
stal Falls forward. Time and again
the Red and Black five worked the
ball from one of the floor to the other.
kiern was putting them in from any
angle. He alone was responsible for
twenty-five OF the forty points made
by his team.
In the first half the Crystal Falls
team played their opponents complet-
ely off their feet. With peterson. Cry
stal Falls center, getting the tip-off.
and the cam work as unit, the locals
ran up a score of 20 to 3 for Iron
Mountain. Iron Mountain getting a
field goal. In the second half Iron Mo-
untain came back. and the aid OF bas-
kets by Crlson and Nowatski made 1t
twenty and fifteen for that period.
The final score was 40 to IS.
The Norway game Saturday was
slow and uninteresting. Norway SEEM
ed concerned only In keeping down the
score. and Crystal Falls. not being
pressed, seemed adverse to exertion.
The score at the nd OF the first half
was 16 TO 2, and at the end OF the
game 35 to 10.

ID. M Ross disposed OF his stock
OF groceries during the week to Carl
Sholander and liver Malmberg who
will continue the business under
the firm name of Sholander e. Malm-
berg. The business will continue in
the same channels that Mr.. Ross has
conducted 1t for many years. The
only exception to the policy persued
in the past is that some delivery viii
be done.
The members of the new firm are
well known to Crystal Falls people.
Mr.. Sholander is at present the sup
erintendent Of the poor for Iron CO.
unity. He will continue In that office
for a short time TO allow the COM
missioners TO find suitabl man,
when he will enter the store and
give his entire attention TO the bus
inesss.
Iver Malmberg Is a young man that
has worked for Mr.. Ross for many
years and has won the respect ar
all who met him while he was on duty
there. He knows the store thoroughly,
especially in the line OF goods that
Mr.. Ross carried and will be continu-
ed by the new firm.
Mr.. Ross retires from business be-
cause OF III health. He informs us
that he will go Immediately TO some
clinic for examination and will de-
vote the coming years 70 rest and an
effort to regain his health.
Mr. Ross started business In Cry

occupied by the Crystal Falls Nation

No indications lead to the belief that
the store was being used as a place
Of public resort. No evidence has
been obtained to show that wine was
used as product OF trade or barter.
My position in this case is the same
as 1t was last fall; that where evil
dence shows that liquor has been IL
legally sold or possessed, no matter II
IL Is but a pint, am ready to force
the thing through TO finish, but
where the intention of the law Is 10
give to man in his home the right
OF possession and no evidence shows
that there has been intention OF sale,
am as eager To see that he Is pro-
tected. The breath OF suspicion has
never been raised In this community
against Scallcucci Bros. They are
honest. iawabiding. respectable citi-
zens. Their integrity is unimpeach-
able. Whether there was a technical
violation or not regarding storage in
a private or public place remains for
a court TO decide. recommend there
fore that the case be dismissed. The
state constabulary have done all in
their power in bringing the case into
my hands. give them a clean bill
and assume all responsibility for my
action. The fact that part OF the
building was used as a store gives the
constabulary's case some color. but
not enough 10 go on with.
Enter Mr.. Grove.
Apparently the case had passed into
history with It's dismissal, as the mem
bers OF the constabulary had agreed
to let matters rest with Prosecutor
McDonough. Lieut.. Strope of Ne
gaunee. who had been called into the
case in the absence OF Sgt. Scavarda,
who was called to Bessemer. had Civ
en- his assurance.
However. even greater storm was
In store for the following day. With
the dismissal OF the case, Lieut. Strope
got in communication with Chief Pro-
hibiton officer Grove of Marquette, a
federal officer operating in four coun-
tise OF the upper peninsula. He ar
rived in town on Wednesday evening
and under his instructions, the state
constabulary went to Scallcucci's yes
terday morning and seized the wine.
tearing down a partition which had
meanwhile been built to separate the
liquor from the rest OF the goods in
storage. Eleven barrels were seized
and five were loaded onto a sleigh and
started toward town. In the mean
while the prosecutors Office was noti-
fed and he instructed Deputies Allen.
Smart and Chard to go to Scallcuccis
and hold the liquor. They immediate
