Hurley Defeats Superior.

One of the best games of the sea-
son, well-played and devoid of
roughstuff or unsportsmanlke con
duct on the part of either side. was
that at the Lincoln school gym last
Friday evening i'll which Hurley 5
high school FIVE defeated the crack
Superior high school basket ball
team. The score was I3 to I2.
A large crowd witnessed the CON
test.
The local team showed to the
best advantage and won on its mer
its, although the boys were forced
to put forth their best efforts,
since they were pitted against
team that has won many victor
les this season. The visitors show
ed such class at the start of the
game that in the minds of many of
the spectators it was a question
whether Hurley would be able TO
stem the tide and pull down vic
tory, but even though Superior
scored first the locals soon hit
stride that won them the game.
Hurley's teamwork was excellent
and the defense put up by the To-
Gals baffled the visitors. The first
period ended with the score a tie.
7 to 7, each team having netted
three baskets and free throw.
AT the start of the second half
the Hurley boys showed even more
class than in the first period and
almost rushed their opponents off
their feet. They seemed to play
faster, their teamwork was better
and with stellar individual work
netted three more baskets, bring
ing their score up to I3 Superior
Gagged a free throw soon after the
start of the second period, later
ringed basket and added another
basket few minutes before time
was called.
The Superior boys displayed ex-
cellent sportmanship and were loud
in their praises of their treatment
while i'll Hurley.
Hurley's victory over Superior
gives the local team a chance to
take part in the district tourua-
ment to be held i'll Superior next
month.

places which it is desired to close.
United States Marshal Frank o.
Connor was in Hurley this week
serving the papers on saloon
keepers for their appearance at a
hearing to be held at Lacrosse
next week in connection with the
injunction proceedings.
Should the injunctions be grant
ed it would mean that thirty Sc ven
buildings in Hurley would be clos
ed for saloon purposes for one year.
Proprietors would have to furnish
bonds as a guarantee of faith
Judge Lands some time ago closed
many places in Chicago which had
been used as saloons for violations
of the prohibitions laws, and since
it has been reported that Judge
lands will officiate at the hearing
in the Hurley cases it may be ex-
pec,cd that Hurley saloonkeepers
will fare likewise.

PABST MINE DRY TENDER
SHOT AND MURDERED
Confession of Bessemer Tailor Impli-
eating His Partner May Lead to
Arrest of the Assailant.

Blaze Kocevar, night man at the
"H shaft dry house of the Pabst
mine in Ironwood, was shot and
murdered at an early hour Tues
day morning. Five shots were
fired at Kocevar, all of which took
effect in vital parts of his body and
his death was almost instantaneous
He was still breathing when his
riddled body was discovered by
attendants at the dry Immediately
after the shooting, although he
passed away in short time.
The brutal murder stirred the
community and for time excite
ment ran high. Kocevar's assail-
ant escaped and at this writing is
still at large, but with the confes-
sion of a tailor at Bessemer the
authorities have been furnished
with the ass 'ilant's identity and
his apprehension may be expected
at any moment.
John Mantyla, proprietor of a
tailor shop on Longyear street at
Bessemer, confessed to the Bcss-
emer chief of police early Tuesday
evening that his partner, John
Warranen, of Jessieville, fired the
shots which killed Kocevar. War
ranen is also said to be a relative
of Mantyla's.
According to Mantyla's confes.
sion to the police he aud Warranen
had attended party" at Jessie
vile, had imbibed of moonshine
and were under the influence of
liquor when the shooting occurred.
They left the party at an early
hour Tuesday morning and, accord
ing to Mantyla, entered the Pabst
H" shaft dry house with the in
tention of remaining there the rest
of the night, continuing their
journey home in the morning. The
drytender, Kocevar, refused to al
low them to stay there and the
shooting followed. Warranen drew
a revolver from his coat pocket
and shot Kocevar FIVE times. The
last shot he fred at his victim by
placing the muzzle of the revolver
to Kocevar' face. Mantyia said
they then started for Jessieville and
on the way Warranen compelled
Mantyla to exchange coats with
him, Warranen giving Mantyla his
army coat for blue mackinaw that
Mantyla wore. Mantyla returned
to his home at Bessemer, and, it
is said, went to bed. Early in the
evening he made his confession to
the police.
Sheriffs and police in nearby
towns were notified of the murder
and have kept strict surveillance.
1t is reported that Warranen was
seen at Orva, west of Hurley, on the
day following the shooting. With
the description of Mantyla now in
the hands of authorities covering a
wide territory it is not believed that
he can long evade capture.
Warranen is described as being
about 5 feet and 10 inches tall.
weight about IT'S pounds, slight of
build, has dark hair and when last
seen wore blue mackinaw. His
left eye is said to be defective. He
is so years of age.

that any wage increase for miners should
be extended 10 their officers. Opponents

REPUBLICAN PLANkS
IN JERSEY HELD UP
Leaders Confer and Discuss
Political Issues.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HnRALp.
TRENTON, Sept 20. Republican
leaders Of New Jersey. at the invitation
of former Gov. Stokes. chairman OF
the State Committee. met at Republican
headquarters this afternoon to discuss
political issues and formulate a definite
policy concerning the platform which
will be adopted next Tuesday. Practi-
cally every issue now before the people
was discussed but the conference
reached no definite conclusion. Mr..
Stokes is of the opinion that the word
ing OF the platform should be left en-
tlrely to the State convention.
AS a result of the conference II Is
considered likely that the Republican
platform will commit the party to a
general policy OF enforcement OF pro-
hibition. though probably with some OF
the more Objectionable features elimi-
mated. Many of the leaders were in
clined to favor a modification OF the
present enforcement law. 1t was con-
sidered significant that Mrs. Jennie 9.
Van Ness Of Newark. sponsor OF the
State enforcement act. was renominated
by a vote far below that of the other
