TAKES REVENGE ON BOSS

Because he was fired from the job,
Elmer Johnson, resident here the
past few months, hit John Roth over
the head with long handled shovel,
cutting his left ear and probably
fracturing his skull. The assault took
place Wednesday at 200 o'clock.
Johnson was employed in digging
the water trench on Fourth street and
not being on the job, Foreman Fred
Malmberg sent him to the Ford Office
for his time. Meeting Mr.. Roth, who
is superintendent Of construction for
the Ford Motor company, near the
burner, Johnson hit him from behind,
telling him, after which he struck him
two more times. Mr.. Roth was picked
up and taken to DR.. Marshall's office,
where he was given medical attend
ance. Johnson was locked up in Jail.
When he first came here Johnson
was employed by John Marsch, Inc.
and later started working for the
Ford interests, painting cars. He was
then transferred to the shoveling
gang. He has surly, scowl;ng dis
position and is rather quarrelsome,
and for his vicious assault of Mr..
Roth he should hc .,.,e.l the sevcg, st
penalty possible.

The Hoose-PearsQns Construction
company will finish their four and
one-half mile spur of railroad for the
Ford Motor company in three weeks.
This railroad runs from the main line
to the company's new camps on Sec
tion 20. They are ballasting the
right-of- way, having been very sue
cessful with their contract.
The Ford Motor company has start
ed the erection of set Of camps on
Section 20, T. 81, R. 80, about six
miles east of L'Anse. From these
camps five years of logging will be
done, there being sufficient timber in
that section. The camps will be large
enough to care for one hundred men.
This is the first set Of camps the
company has built in this section.
They will be models in every way and
will be as comfortable and conven-
lent as the company can make them.
October was the banner month of
production of the Ford Motor COM
pany of Detroit. A total of 206,861
Ford passengers were made; 1908
Lincoln cars and 9,341 Foord tractors
being also manufactured. The weekly
average production was 41.372 cars
and trucks, 201 Lincoln cars and 1858
Fcrdson tractors.
The harbor improvements on
L'Anse bay made by the Ford Motor
company will be about finished the
coming week, the lateness Of the sea-
son and the cold weather making it
impossible to continue the work. The
Zenith Dredging company's hydraulic
dredge Alice Vivian and derrick scow
will be taken to Duluth if weather
conditions permit, otherwise they will
be taken to Houghton for the winter,
where much repair work will be done
on the dredge to fit her for the next
ssnamer's work.
Approximately 100000 yards of
gravel were pumped from the lake,
the Ford Motor company now having
an excellent beach line and over 1900
feet of dockage with 22-ft. chan
mel, sufficient to care for the largest
boats on the lakes. A large acreage
has also been added to the mill yard.
