The Hard Facts.

"ERE are some hard facts:
Jack Dempsey, now worlds
heavyweight champion, was a
hobo riding the rods" when he
met Jack Kearns. The latter, by
careful training, made Dempsey a
fair boxer. Dempsey then pro-
ceeded to clean up his division,
finally winning the title. In pri-
vate life he is a clean, decent
young American citizen, born in
Colorado, caring for his parents
and working at his trade, which
is professional boxer.
Luis Angel Firpo was heavy
weight porter for a pharmacist in
Buenos Aires. Reading the sports
pages of La Prensa, he learned
how easy it might be for him to
make lot of money boxing in
the United States. So he cut out
beer, began running off his fat
and hardened himself with some
training. Then he came to New
York.
The bright young men who
write boxing in the metropolis
have "made" Firpo more than he
has "made" himself. He has been
good copy, with his scowl, his
rubber collar, his quaint bathrobe
his wild slugging.
Firpo has come to the United
States just as no rivals appeared
on the horizon for the champion
Thus he has doomed up like 8
giant. He has been cursed alona
carefully by Tex Richard, wise
gent around ring. 1t was Rick
ard who Thought Willard dan
gerous for Firpo." 1t il the
same Richard who now "say.
Firpo is a dangerous man fol
Dempsey"
No, no gorilla" will meet &
tiger" when Firpo meets Demp
sey. It will merely be a great
slow slugger trying to match hi:
poor collection of ring qualities
against those of a man who has
reached the top by defeating
every other man in his way. Al
the rest is just bunk, that's all

III to put this "vendettist," this

done about it. Maybe that gang of
reformers who believe all this
junk may be spurred to act after
gobbling up column after column
of such rot and drivel.

Farmers' Meeting. Wen Attended.

County Agent Shaffer and NJ. F.
Jahr of the land clearing department
have finished the series of fourteen
meetings in Iron county. The last
meeting, at Hurley, was called off
on account of the stormy weather.
The attendance at these meetings
was very good. A total of fourteen
meetings was held with a total at
tendance of 635 persons. This was
an average of as persons per meet
ing, very good average when we
take into account the sparcely set
tied communities where the meetings
were held and the severe weather
conditions, also the condition of the
roads.
About 2,700 feet of moving pic
ture films were shown. This includ-
ed an interesting film entitled "Thc
Story of Milk" The other two films
depicted the practica side of land
clearing work. The county agent
discussed the need Of "Swatting the
Scrub Bull" and" Canning the Board
er Cow" Practical suggestions on
care and feeding of dairy cattle and
the community fair were also dis.
cussed by the county agent. Mr..
jahr discussed the need Of more
cleas ed land in Iron county.
VIM. Schultz Of The Atlas Powder
company spent one week with the
county agent. Mr.. Schultz is an ag.
rlcultural explosives expert and gave
several very interesting talks on the
practical side Of printing cartridges,
cap printing, stump pullers, loading
stumps and other land clearing work.

The Cary Empires evened the
score with Iron Belt by taking the
basket bali game at the Empires club
rooms last Saturday evening by the
score of 10 to 2 Iron Belt won the

The Empires are alleged to have

injured. He was placed on board a
train to be taken to an Ironwood

body was then brought to Hurley and

Assemblyman Mark For Better
Train Service.

Madison-A complaint that the
train service furnished by the
Chicago & North Western railway at
Hurley is inadequate and requesting
the establishment Of adequate SER
vice, was filed With the Railroad
Commission Friday by Assemblyman
H. NJ. Mark, Hurley,
The complaint alleged that no
connection from Hurley is provided
with trains of the Duluth South
Shore and Atlantic Railway company
at Saxon scheduled west bound at
! :33 and east bound at 1910 p. m.
Also that no connection from Hurley
is provided with the evening east
bound train Of the Duluth South
Shore and Atlantic Railway at
Saxon scheduled at that station at
I1;10 p. m. Mr. Mark further as
serted that train No. 12I operated
between Chicago and Ashland is
habitually late and jeopardizes
making connections at Ashland with
the afternoon train on the Northern
Pacific which leaves Ashland at 4:40.
Another effort to improve the
train service in and out Of Hurley
was made by Mr.. Mark in a further
comp amt to the railroad commission
on IL Minneapolis, St. Paul and
SAUL Ste Marie Railway.
Th.> road formerly operated two
trains in each direction between
Hurley and Melen and that one
train IN each direction has been dis
continued, according to the com
plant Reasonably adequate ser
vice requires the restoration Of an
other train in each direction between
Hurley and Mellen, Mr. Mark declar-
ed.

SEARCHES HERE
FOR FATHER
Young Man From Chicago Believes
That His Father Was Fatally
Injured on Railroad.
BURIED IN LOCAL CEMETERY
Farmland Who Died on Way to
Hospital After Being Struck by
Train Believed to Be His
Father.

The chance remark of a friend to
a young man in Chicago furnished
The first clue in a search for lost
husband and father that had extend
ed over a period of many years, start
ing in the old country, and ending in
the city of Hurley.
The husband and father of a
family in Poland left the home fire
side and emigrated to these United
States many years ago. He kept in
communication with his family for a
time hut suddenly the letters stop
ped coming and from then on until a
shor; time ago the whereabouts of
the man remained a mystery.
In the meantime the family also
emigrated to this country. A few
weeks ago at a gathering of friends
and acquaintance in Chicago the
remark, "Your father is dead, is he
not" was directed at John Dziak,
who upon further questioning,
brought out the facts which lead him
to believe that man killed by a
train near Hurley few years ago
was the long-lost husband and
father.
For the purpose of further
establishing proof of his fathers
death young Dziak came to Hurley
He interviewed Mayor Lennon and
other city and county authorities
and, together with information that
could be CLEANED from available re-
cords, learned that man whom he
believes was his father was killed on
the railroad west of Hurley and
buried in the local cemetery.
During the summer of 1918 a man
who went under the name of John
Smith was employed on Peter
Cichon's farm near Rock Cut. He
was of quiet, retiring nature and
not inclined to talk Of himself or his
past life, hence little was known
about him. One evening Mr..
Cichon returned to his farm after
being absent a shorl time and dis
covered that his caretaker had disap-
peared He thought little of the
matter at that time, since the man
frequently left the place and came to
town, usually returning to the farm
in day or so. But after several
days had elapsed and the man DID not
return Mr.. Cichon came to Hurley
and tried to locate him, thinking he
probably could be found in one of
the city's saloons, but failing in this
made inquiries of the chief of police,
from whom he learned that a man
had been fatally injured on the rail-
road was in the local morgue. He
went to the morgue and learned that
The man had already been buried, but
Identification was made possible by
The clothes worn by the dead man,
which, according to Mr.. Cichon, were
those of his caretaker, Mr.. Smith.
1t is believed that this John Smith
was the father of John Dziak and

Visitors Win the Game in the First
Half. Hurley Comes Back
Strong in Second Half.

Northland outclassed the Hurley
high school basket ball team in the
game at the Lincoln school gym last
Saturday evening and romped away
with a victory To the tune of 10 to 3.
The first half was all in the visitor
favor, who piled up II points while
Hurley was held scoreless. Hurley
was on the defensive throughout the
half and seemed unable to break the
winning streak of Che Northlanders.
In the second half Hurley came
back strong. The locals not only
checked the visitors in the second
half but also Outplayed them, scoring
three points while Northland scored
Two. The fine playing of the locals
in the second act made it one of the
most interesting games of the season.

SKI TOURNAMENT TOMORROW
AT IRONWOOD
Some of the Best Riders in the Coun.
try Will Take Part in Contests
on New Steel Slide.

The event of the season in out
door sporting circles will be the ski
tournament at Ironwood tomorrow
afternoon under the auspices of the
Norrie Athletic club.
In addition to long list of local
riders some of the best riders in the
country will take part in the tourna-
ment and it will not be surprising if
some Of the best records go by the
boards.
1t will be the first big event on the
new steel slide erected recently on
Curry hill north of the Fair grounds.
Ironwood has not staged a tourna-
ment for a number of years, due to
the fact that the scaffold blew down
some years ago. The old slide and
scaffold has been replaced by one of
steel which is declared to be the best
in the country. The worlds record
was made on the Ironwood slide a
few years ago by Carl Omtvedt, of
Chicago, who will again be on hand
tomorrow and make another try at a
record. From distances covered so
far on the new slide by local riders
it is believed that Omtvedt will
easily be able to equal and probably
exceed his former mark
The Norrie club has been assured
that number of nationally known
ski riders will be on hand and with
favorable weather the tournament
should be big success.

KILLED BY TRAIN AT PINE
LAKE MONDAY
d. NJ. WeIch, a Woodsman, Meets
Death While Returning from
Van Buskirk to Lumber Camp.

A woodsman whose name is believed
to be d. M. Welch was killed by be-
ing struck by Chicago & North
western train near Pine Lake Mon
day. The body was brought to
Hurley and taken to Charbonneau's
undertaking rooms and is being held
while efforts to locate relatives are
heing made
TIE man had been employed at the
camps of the Collins lumber company
at Pine Lake but very little is known
about him. 1t is believed that he
has relatives at St. Paul or Mimi
eapolis and efforts 10 locate them are
being made. If no relatives are
located burial viii be made in the
local cemetery.
WEIGH in company with two other
employees at the camp is known to
have gone to Van Buskirk, where
they spent Sunday. Welch's com
panions returned 20 camp and Mon
day morning the body of WEIGH was
found lying near the railroad track.
Whether he was struck by the train
going south Sunday evening or the
Monday morning train is not known.
The theory that Welch was in
toxicated and was struck by the
train while in a helpless condition
has been advanced, for it is under
stood that the three men were mem
hers of moonshine drinking party
at Van Buskirk.
