PLAN TO Be TRIED OUT
PUT BAND ON BUSINESS BASIS
Leader Will Get a Salary From
Central Fund to Which All
Earnings viii be Paid

The Rotafy Club committe. consist
ing OF Or. l.. Il. Bovik, Leigh CasweIl
and Jas. S. Sanders reported a plan 4
the Club yesterday for the revival OF
band in this city. The plan Get
the okeh OF the Rotary Club and The
committee was instructed to go ahead
and test out the sources OF revenue 10
determine IL they can put their plan
into effect.
Briefly. the plan is this. A COM
mittee of business men will have
charge OF the business management ol
the band. This committee will have
charge OF the fund necessary to insure
the payment OF leader and other
incidentals and will work without
compensation.
The leader 10 be hired Is Mr.. Green
field, who did such good work here two
years. He will be paid a monthly al
airy, will lead he band. the boys band
and give instruction to any pupils who
wish TO take lessons from him. All
fees earned by him in giving lessons
will be paid into the general fund. II
is intended that the fee shall not lie
more than $l.00 per month, just
enough TO keep the boy interested.
When the band performs for pay the
remuneration will go into the fund.
All contracts will be made with the
committee, not with the band. The old,
er men who are proficient in their
work will draw small compensation.
New men who are tutored will not get
pay until they acquire certain
competency.
The sources of revenue are the city.
township. school board and the min
ing companies. The donation that
agencies make al the start will be all
that they will be ask for for
music purposes during the yeor The
band will play for the city concerts
without any compensation. II will do
the same for the school or township.
II is figured that this method will
be no more expensive to the agencies
than was the old plan OF "touching"
them each time a special occasion
necessitated the hiring OF the band.
The committee is at work now and
will be able to say In short time 81
the plan will work.

BIG BATCH OF INDICTMENTS ISS-
UED AGAINST PICGERs
FOUR FROM CRYSTAL FALLS
indictments Come as a Great
Surprise and Show That Unknown
Influences are Working

The L. S. Grand Jury at the 500 in
dicted about twenty-five Iron county
men and women at its session this
week. four of them from Crystal
Falls and the balance from the west
side. Among the east side people Is
Mrs. Pinterella who was convicted in
the circuit court here several mon
this ago but allowed TO 90 on the
promise OF good behaviour
The others indicted are John Ceceti,
Alex Dalpra and Sylvester Challancin.
II is thought that there is a mistake
about the last mentioned ans that the
man Laurence who is occupying the
old Challancin building is meant in
stead OF Sylvester. Mr.. Cballancin
sold his building over year ago.
The attendants at the court ses-
sion frc.: I:ea County say that the
district officials had the goods on
every one OF those indicted and bar
ring some mistake in identity. such
as is suspected in the Challancin case.
the evidence is complete.
The heavy preponderance OF west
side piggers Is due 10 the fact that
they have been much bolder and
have enterd into th traffic on the west
side than in Crystal Falls.
BY far the greatest effect OF the in
dictments is the disturbance Of that
sense OF security that the vendors Of
illicit liquor have operated under for
some time Shey have carried on their
traffic In a manner that proclaimed
10 the world that they were not afraid
Of being molested. IL seems that in
iuences were at work while they slept
on that they knew nothing OF. Just how
extensive this work OF the enforce
ment officers is remains 10 be seen
One thing is certain. there Will be
less brabeness after this in the pig
ging game In this county.

ANOTHER BOXING MATCH
American Legion Post Has Arranged
Another Fine Session for Fans

The members OF the American Leg
ion post have been busy since the~
pulled of the last boxing match get
ting material for a second session.
The one on the second OF this month
proved TO be SO entertaining that the
boys have been requested 10 get up
another but to be sure that IL will
equal the first one. Shey say that No =
will fully equal. II not outshine the
last one.
The session includes two six round
bouts and the big mill for the wind
up. OF course. Jack" Shemky Is fea-
tured In the latter event and his op-
ponent Is Eddie Dishaw of Sagola.
This lad must not be confused with
the boy that opposed Jack at the last
event Eddie is an older brother and
faster man by long way Eddie was
matched up with Miesner OF Menom-
inee some time ago and he figures that
he travels in the big class His go
with Shemky will tell the world II he
can enter big company.
A go" that will be eagerly looked
forward 10 is that OF Hard Head
Stevens OF Florence VS. Eddie Luppa.
Luppa's stock is coming up fast in
Crystal Falls boxing circles. He is
looked upon as coming performer in
his class. The first time he appeared
before Crystal Falls audience
Stevens was his opponent. The match
was for four rounds only and there
has been much argument since thar
time as 20 which one OF the men would
have lasted throughout the fifth round.
Stevens has friends in Crystal Falls
and a lot OF admires from Florence.
The other go Is to be between
Brusso OF Amasa. a boxer who Won
fame In the navy and Jack" Kinney
Kinney is one OF the classiest boxers
In Michigan. He has been unfortunate
in other bouts because or his hand
breaking. II has been fully healed now
and he is IN shape 10 go the length.
Kinney has more friends TO the square
inch among the ffht fans because or
his classy work than any boxer who
has put on any strictly boxing ex-
hibitions here. Brusso is fayorito
al Amasa where he has lots OF hackers
and they are all coming down to root
for their man.
With Sagola, Amasa and Florence
represented in the ring there is bound
TO be some lively interest In the
events
The boys are arranging to let ala
ladies in free. Ringside seats will Sell
