The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-09-30
TWENTY YEARS AGO|
I Taken from The Ely Miner of
/ the same date in 1901.

A social function of exceptional
enjoyment and amid the most agree
able surroundings, occurred at the
Shipman cottage on an island IN
BURNSIDE Lake Monday evening
last. DIR. and Mrs. j. d. Budd were
the entertainers, and Mrs. IL: .
BRYAN, Mrs. w. N. Moulton, Mrs.
w. B. Woodward and Mr.. and Mrs.
James Coggswell, of Two Harbors,
DIR. w. B. Goldsworthy and Ike
Cox. of Ely, were the guests. Nine
rounds of progressive cmch were
fought. Mr.. Cox taking the prize
1t proved quite social innovation
at BURNSIDE, so much so that not
an owl was heard to boot thereaf-
ter, and the Indians have topic
for future conversation.
The Two Harbors party returned
Wednesday night, satisfied that
they had enjoyed the outing of
their lives. DIR. Budd and the writ
er Joined them Sunday. Some
have marvellous stories to tell of
narrow escapes while canoeing, of
mysterously changing beds, expert
ences in crossing the lakes with
Indian paddlers, portaging, and the
trip down the river. Where Budd
fell is spot which will always
bring a grin to the stolid Indians.
The party was under obligations
to DIR. Shipman, of Ely, for many
courtesies. BURNSIDE Lake, with
its bewildering channels, and beauti-
full islands, is an ideal spot. There
nature got in its best work.-Two

E. P. Mackey, who was lost IN
64-12 and found after spending 5S
hours in the woods without food or
shelter returned to Duluth last
week. In speaking of his expert
ence to reporter, Mr.. Mackey
said that it was pictured much
worse than it really was. He says
that he was lost, but only for a
short time, and then thought that
his companion had lost his way and
spent the following day in vain
search for him. Even though he
had eaten nothing for two days,
Mr.. Mackey denies that he was
found unconscious but says that he
was coming toward Ely when two
of his friends, who had started out
to find him.. came along the trail,
country are sadly deficient. said
Mr.. Mackey yesterday. "There
are rivers and lakes on the map
which do not exist and there are
lakes that are not on maps of that
section that | have ever seen. This
makes it hard for even old woods
men to find their way at times, al
though it is always possible to To-
Of q
township and then strike out again. "

Every county should have twelve
men who can neither read or write,
who cannot form an opinion, who
do not know black from white, who
are actual dough-heads, to act as
Jurors in murder trials. The pres
ent way of drawing a jury is a
the delay by appointing twelve men
to act insFhat' capacity.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT in
his speech at the Minnesota State
Fair said the following: Anarchy
is simply the handmaiden and fore
runner of tyranny. and despotism.
Law and order enforced with Justice
and by strength lie at the founda-
ton of civilization. Law must be
based upon justice, else it cannot
stand, and it must be enforced with
resolute firmness, because weakness
in enforcing it means in the end
that there is no, justice, and no law.
Again this week we are called
upon to announce the removal from
this city of one of Ely's oldest set
tiers. Frank Wagner, who accom-
panied by Mrs. Wagner and son,
Will, and j.. j. Soklich and wife,
left on Wednesday morning for the
state of Washington where they
will make their home in the future.
Mr.. Wagner came to this city in
1887 and was one of the first
settlers, walking in from Tower.
He opened a meat market here and
was the first to go into this business
in the new town, driving his cattle
for killing in from Tower through
the woods. After the advent of
the railroad, things went well with
Mr.. Wagner and he has continued
to prosper in business since. He
sold his interests before his de-
parture to his son, L. M. Wagner,
who will conduct the affairs assisted
by P. F. and Frank Wagner, Or. The
many friends of Mr. Wagner wish
him success in the new location
where he goes to take up stock
farm in company with his son-in-
law, ]. ]. Soklich.
John King, the fellow who killed
VIM. Carson at Hibbing during the
tournament was found guilty of
murder in the second degree by the

eating circumstances, after being
out from 2:30 yesterday afternoon
until 9 A. M. today.

dent Mckinley was found guilty of
