Fisher-Bent Wedding.

A beautifully appointed we'd
ding was solemnized at tn e
Bent resort near State Line last
Saturday evening. The principals
were Mr.. George Fisher of Onto
nagon. Mich, and Miss Mamie
Bent. the youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A. Bent.
While the strains of a wedding
march were being played by Mrs.
Herbert Marshall, the bride came
forward leaning on her fathers
arm. The couple stood under a
bower of evergreens artistically
arranged and the relatives and
friends gathered about them in
an informal way and in this
simple but happy manner the
words were spoken which made
two hearts beat as one.
A number of friends had come
from a distance to witness the
ceremony, some driving from
Waukegan and Geneva, III. After
refreshments. including the we'd
ding cake, the bridal party left
for an extended auto trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher will make
their home at 0ntonagon where

Saturday, Meazga and his wife
were working at stump-blasting
and toward six o'clock they got
ready for the last charge of the
day. There were two stumps
about six feet apart into each of
w h a charge was placed.
Meazga lit the fuse for one and
his wife the other. He was salts
fled with his own charge that it
would fire, but was not so sure of
the other.
The wife was positive and tried
to get her husband to hurry away,
but he worked at the doubtful
charge until two explosions oc-
Cured almost simultaneously and
Mrs. Meazga turned and saw her
husbands body blown into the air
with fragments of the stumps.
His face and upper portion of his
body were severely mangled and
he died instantly.
The family consisted of the
parents and six children.

HUNTING PROFITABLE
Killing of Cranes Proves
Lucrative to Sayner Hun
ters = About Thousand
Killed.

Since the county and state have
placed a bounty upon the destruc-
tive crane in this section, hun
dreds have been killed and the
bountysof 81 each collected within
the past few weeks. According to
the report almost a thousand of
the birds have been slain this
spring, netting the hunter a big
sum of money.
1t is said that several hunters
from Sayner killed hundreds of
the birds which had a nesting
place near Trout creek (some-
times called the Ontonagon)
several miles north of Star Lake.
Accompanied by the town chair
man of Plum Lake, who checked
up on the cranes killed, one day
was spent in the slaughter.
Several hundred were killed that
day and since then parties have
accounted for many more at
various times.
The crops of several of the
cranes were cut open, and it was
found that the birds had been
feasting lavishly upon small trout
from the nearby trout streams,
1t has long been known that the
crane is one of the most destruc-
tive of birds, living exclusively
upon small game fish.

Bum Guessers

When "Jingling Johnsons" write of Spring,
They're apt to say most anything;
Altho tbs showing at the time,
A Robins chirp'n'll start their ryhme;
They hand out lots of guess-work dope,
To bring their readers joy and hope.
And fore their lines have gone to press
They find they've made a losing guess;
Although tbs April, as they say,
Another billiards. on its way;
And ev'ry guy in Bee Wee Does,
Would like to mob such NUTS as these.
They listened to the weather liar,
And draped themselves in Spring attire,
The safest time to welcome Spring
Is when you have dead sure thing.
Don't listen to a Robins tune,
Before the latter part of June;
Nor mention Spring til late in Fall
For sometimes it don't come at all.
The one best bet on season rhyme
Is Winter; for he's always near,
And has Summer Home up here.

patron. The spectators are always looking for the over-the-fence wallop and remain at the parks until the last innings, hoping for the long drive that will change the whole complexion of the contest.
 At a game on the Polo Grounds recently, which the Giants won to 8, not one of the 1 900 fans left the park until the end of the game. They remained, hoping to see a climax that would turn the whole complexion of the contest And a home run might have done it.
 Well, according to the writer's opinion, anything that can hold the interest of the public up to the very last minute is the biggest thing that will promote the interest of baseball.
 When the spectators interest is continued up to the time the last man is put out it is assured that the game is a contest.
 That is what baseball wants, what it needs. That makes baseball Those one-sided games appeal to only the partiSans who want to see their own team win and as soon as possible.

 Cleveland, June1-Any. attempt to guage Georges Carpenters ability to cope with fighter of Jack Dempsey's S F-enchman as a basis, would be a waste of time.
 In sizing up the invading heavy weight contender therefore we must met a. hattler of the rushing type, like Dempsey, and what he will be able to do against such an attack July 2 is problemaical.
 Carpenter has met a number of big men, and his showing against them proves beyond a doubt that size alone is no handicap to him, for he has floored Wells, Smith, Beckett and
 I do not consider Carpenters vic tories over Wells or Beckett import ant enough to discuss at any length. Wells, big and pretty clever was as putty in Georges hands. Beckett was like so much beef and all Georges had to do was batter him down.
 Carpenters fights against Jeannette and Smith however, are we'll worth while discussing in brief.
 Jeanette Good Man.
 Joe Jeanette in his heyday was one of the best men in the ring. He had cleverneSS, a cool head and was a puncher as we'll. In 1914, when he met Carpenter and won a decision over him in 5 rounds, dusky Joe was good enough to stand before any man. He had fought Jack Johnson, McVey, Langford and a host of others and he knew the game inside out
 In the very first round against Car pentier he made Georges realize that he was a master of boxing and won the F'renchman's respect right off by easily avoiding his punches and tapping him playfuliy in return. Be fore the first round ended they fell into a clinch, as they came out of it, afa

and play a. waiting game. All that they know is to run in and swing. No one knows which principal is go- ing to win a fight of that sort. The result cannot be foretold because one man has just as good a chance as the other.
 Carpenter Has Good Chance.
 Do I think Carpenter has a chance to win? certainly do. He has just as good chance as Dempsey. As I have said both men are swing CTS. but Carpenter is the faster and will swing twice to DempseyS once, and he may be at the champion in the very first round.
 That's how the match shapes up in my eyes. Neither man fights the scientific, measured, studied kind of a battle that would enable me to see certain winning advantage for him in the long run against an opponent less skilled in these things. It's just a meeting of swingers in which either may win. Victory will go to the one who first gets hot1y. home with one of his swings and it is impossible for any one to tell in advance which one that will be. It may be Dempsey. It may be Carpetier- To a mortal it is a toss up."

New York, June Amy pitcher who has a change of pace has a chance to head off all the slugging that is now going on in the National League.
 A hurler who has no change of pace, however, stands little chance to choke off the many batting rallies that are featuring most of the games. Whether the baseball is more lively than we think it is or not, the fact remains that there are many more home runs being made by mediocre hitters than ever before,
 There is no doubt that the present generation of fans have been educated up to the Babe Ruth style of long drives. They want to see swats sent over the fences. The era of the home run appeals to the present day fans. The days when small scores and pitchers battles were popular have come and gone.
 The hurrah punch now is the cir cult clout. They are the wallops that appeal most to the average baseball

Carpentier Rips Pants
 On Barbed Wire Fence

Manhasset, N. Y., June l. Barbed wire, when connected with trousers, has been declared undesirable by Georges Carpen- tier. and the entangTcments about this training camp, placed there to keep curious visitors away, will be removed, Manager Descamps announced today.
 Georges sat up on a fence, about which some of the wire is placed, and let his feet idly dam gle while he watched passing mo- toriStS. The French boxing champion lost his balance and as he picked himself up he ruefufly glanced at tattered bits of the seat of his trousers hanging upon the wire.
 Manager Descamps was heart iIy in favor of removing the Ob- stacIe, for one of his silk shirts suffered when he went too close while cutting roses. The wire did not keep the public out any way, he explained.
