GRAND JURY LOSES
SOME Of ITS WORK.
COUNTY ATTORNEYS CAN PRO
cEED ON INFORMATION
LESS EXPENSE.

On the heels of the decision of
the Minnesota State Supreme court,
holding that county attorneys may
proceed with criminal cases by fl
ing information instead of binding
the alleged criminal over to the
grand jury where the maximum
penalty for the offense does not ex-
coed ten years, similar practice by
the federal court is noted to speed
up the court calendar.
Out of about 800 criminal cases.
the majority of which were liquor
law violations, at the recent open
ing of federal court in Minneapolis
on Monday, October 2, more than
half were proceeded with informa-
ton filed by the United States dis
trict attorney. It is the first time
such large number of cases were
taken up in this manner, eliminat-
ing the time and expense of grand
jury action.
Although the decision of the Min
nesota supreme court had no effect
on the federal procedure, it served
to give added weight to the technic-
atty of the law, It was said by at
taches of the federal court. In pre-
vious years, actions were begun by
small number, it was said, as the
federal statute declares that prose
cutions may be started either by in
formation or by grand jury indict-
ment, at the discretion of the United
States district attorney.
1t was explained, however, that in
years past the number of Grim
inal cases awaiting the opening term
of court averaged about dozen OF
so, whereas since the prohibition
law has been enforced, the number
has increased to several hundred IN
each instance. If the grand jury
action was resorted to in each OF
these liquor cases, the court d0ckei

ELY-bUYCK ROAD
PROBABLY A FACT.
COMMISSIONERS BABCOCk AND
ASSISTANT COM. MULLIN
HERE SATURDAY.

State Highway Commissioner c.
NJ. Babcock accompanied by Mrs.
Babcock and his assistant, Mr.. Null
lin and Mrs. Mullin, were IN the
city Saturday evening on their way
to Duluth by way of the Ely-Fln-
land and the South Shore roads.
Commissioner Babcock and party
drove over from Eveleth where they
had attended the Miller Trunk Road
festivities and while in this section
of the country were securing some
first hand information regarding
the scenic roads of The Play
ground of a Nation" They left
Ely early Sunday morning and IN
tended to fill up their quota on
cartridges before returning TO their
homes the following day.
While here, both Mr.. Babcock
and Mr.. Mullin, informed the Miner
that they had decided to recommend
to the County Commissioners and
the Federal Service, that the road
between here and Buyck be con-
structed as per the recommends
tons of the Agricultural Depart
ment, in fact both were very en-
thusiastic over the possibilities after
studying the subject from every
angle. As the building of all high
ways must be done under the re-
Communications of the State High
way department, their o. K. means
that the Ely-Buyck road is an as
sured fact providing the orange
ments with the Federal officials and
County Commissioners pans out as
anticipated.
Mr.. Babcock is also enthusiastic
over the Ely-Grand Marais road,
work on the both ends of which is
being done. Commissioner St. Clair
has been building in the Eve Lake
district while work is being done
in the Cook county end, the road
last year having been built by Cook
County, with the assistance of the
State Relief Board, as far as Hungry
Jack Lake as a fire emergency
measure. The prospects are that
within the coming two years this
road will also be built and ready
for travel.

hunters and his location in the
big game country makes this an
admirable spot The travel over
the Ely-Finland highway has been
large the past year and will be
something immense next season as
this trip is pronounced one of the
grandest in the state and not ex-
celled anywhere in the country, not
even in Califoria. The highway is
in excellent condition and being
improved all the time A road
crew under Forman Quigley is now
putting in a cutoff which will elm

tween Halfway and Headquarters
the road has been Strengthened and
many dangerous curves and turns

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM TO
TRIM UP BIWABIK

The last home game of the sea-
son for the High School football
team will be played here next Sat
urday afternoon and it is confident
ly expected that the Ely boys will
trim up the Biwabik lads to a fare
ye-welL. Two weeks ago the Ely
team went TO Biwabik and were
most numerically trounced to the
tune of 43 to 0 and the local fell
lows say they can duplicate this
score the other way around. In
order to help the boys along and
furnish them with a little extra
pep, everyone should make it a
point to be there.
Last Saturday the local team de-
feated the Two Harbors team on the
home grounds on a score Of Is to
0. A fair sized crowd was present
and witnessed the scrimmage and
all were satisfied with the work
done by the locals.

The first fatality of the hunting
season took place Sunday when Her
bert S. King, superintendent of the
North Chandler mine met death
while on a hunting trip in the
White Iron, Farm Lake, Kawishiwi
district east and south of the city.
King with Capt. Frank Kent and a
brother of Mr.. Kent had gone out
partridge hunting early Sunday
morning. At the old Fortier camps
the party separated with the under
standing that they were to meet at
about ten O'Clock for the return
trip. King failed to return and
after remaining until late in the
afternoon the balance of the party
returned to town and turned in an
alarm.
A posse was at once formed and
the search taken up that night
without result. More men were out
all day Monday, all returning with
out finding a trace of the missing
man. Monday evening a mass meet
ing was called at the city hall for
the purpose of getting help enough
to prosecute an organized search.
The meeting was presided over by
B. o. Strachan and nearly 300 vol
unteers declared their readiness to
GO out the following morning. The
names of those volunteering were
listed and compassmen appointed to
see that proper lines were main
tanned. The party was put in
charge of c. A. Dahlgrea of the
Superior Forest and his assistants
and all were TO be at the city hall
on Tuesday morning at six o'clock,
unarmed, and carrying lunches.
Automobiles of local citizens, bus
ses and trucks were on hand to con-
vey the party to White Iron bridge
where the men were formed in line
with compassmen in charge of every
ten and systematic search begun.
The woods and lake shores were
thoroughly looked over, the party
assembling again at the Halfway
about six miles from where they
entered the forest. About three
o'clock in the afternoon a party in
charge of Charles Niemi, came
across the dead body of King about
three miles from where lie had
started his hunting trip and about
a half mile from the lake shore
near what IS known as Big Bay.
The position of the body pointed
to the fact that he had met death
by shot from his own gun. Some
of the party returned to town and
reported their find. Coroner Rus
sell of Lake County was notified
and visited the scene of the find
ing. After viewing the remains
the coroner decided an inquest not
necessary and made his report ac-
cordingly with the notation that
''the man came to his death by
gun shot wound delivered by his
own gun" A canoe was secured
and Neimi and others went out to
