Farmers to Get New War Salvaged
Explosive.
BY Dan A. Shaffer
County Agricultural Agent

1OuuJy AStiCulbuIdl EASGiiL
A new war salvaged explosive will
be available to the farmers of Wis
consin this fall. This new explo-
sive is to be known as Pyratol and
will be sold at the mere cost of
freight and cartridging and boxing.
The price will be $3.50 per 100
pounds, delivered in car lots to any
point in Iron County. The limit per
man during the fiscal year is 1000
pounds.
Pyratol has been thoroughly tried
out by State Land Clearing men and
will do all that is claimed for it. 1t
will not freeze, or deteriate to any
extent in storage and will not cause
headache. 1t will not stain your
hands nor is it any dangerous to
handle then any other dynamite or
explosive.
Farmers desiring to order sup
ply of this new explosive should get
in touch with the County Agent at
once. The old rule of first come first
served will apply again this fall. The
sooner our orders are placed the
quicker we will be able to get car
on the ground and make delivery. A
large number of farmers were unab-
lie to get a supply last spring be-
cause they waited until it was too
late. We cannot order only what we
have sold and paid for, therefore if
yau need powder, order at once and
not two months from now. We have
no storage facilities therefore we will
not order a pound over our actual
sales.

Three IrOnwOOd Youths
Killed AT EEighbridge
Driver of Automobile Escapes With
Minor Injuries; Victims Thrown
Beneath Moving Train ~

Funeral services were conducted
on Monday for the bodies of three
Ironwood young men who were kill
ed last Thursday night when their
automobile overturned and they
were thrown under a moving Soc
Line ore train at Highbride. A
fourth occupant of the car escaped
with slight injury. The three men
killed are:
William Ali, "a, body badly man
gled,
Eli Ali, % his brother, both legs
severed below the knee and head
crushed.
William Anderson, %, left arm
torn from socket and other injuries.
The driver of the car, Henry
Jolma, 10 suffered a cash on the
forehead.
Describes Accident
Jolma gave a vivid description of
the accident. He claims that Just
before they saw the moving cars "a
head of them a black cat ran across
the road and one of the party passed
remark laughing at the supersti-
ton.
The young men had been to Mel
len and were returning To the ALI
and Jolma farms that are located
near North York, not far from High
bridge. They were going north,
coasting down a steep Hill. and a
head of them an ore train of so cars
was crossing the highway.
II was not until they were within
20 feet of he railroad crossing that
they saw moving ore cars and the
driver quickly jerked the wheel to
swerve the automobile to the right.
AS he did so, he car turned over on
its side and the passengers were
thrown through the side curtains and
top under the moving ore cars. The
automobile laid in such manner
that each ore car that passed the au-
tomobile brushed the top of the mo-
tor car.
Eli Thrown Under Train
Eli Ali, seated in The front seat
with the driver, was thrown directly
under the moving ore cars, Both
legs were severed below the knee and
his head crushed almost to a pulp.
1t is belieN ed he was instantly killed.
William, his brother, was so badly
mangled by the ore cars that his body
was almost beyond recognition An
derson had his left arm almost torn
from the body and the member was
broken in more than dozen places,
indicating he had been twisted and
rolled under the ore cars. Brakes
apparently caught his body in such
way as to almost tear his intestines
out Of his body
When the car overturned, Jolma
was unhurt, but as he raised his head
to see what had happened he was
struck by some object on the moving
train that cut cash in his forehead
and he had the presence of mind to
put his head down and remain in that
position until the rest of the ore cars
passed.
Train Had Almost Passed
According to the report of the 500
Line train crew, the automobile over
turned when there remained about
seven ore cars to pass before the end
Of the train passed the crossing. The
train was going about s miles an
hour, reported T. J. Mathews, con
ductor.

10 Issue No More Soft
Drink Parlor Permits
Deny Applications to Two Persons;
City Council Votes to Restrict
Number of Places.

The city council voted Tuesday
night to restrict the number of soft
drink parlors that will be allowed to
operate. The application of two
persons to open soft drink parlors
were rejected.
The new regulation permits the
operation of 81 parlors, that number
having been previously licensed.
Any establishment not having a
license in 1928 will receive none this
year, voted the aldermen.
The council also voted to pay
$4,000 to the Ironwood water de-
partment, that amount being due
for water furnished to the city.
Hurley has been enabled to pay
the principal and interest on the
street improvement and water works
bonds that recently fell due, because
of license fees paid to the city
treasurer this week.
Court fines paid into the treasury
by the municipal court enabled the
authorities to pay the city policemen
Monday Due to the depleted con-
dition of the finances, most Of the
finances, and most of the employees
of the city have been without pay for
several weeks.
At the present time the city has
been meeting no bills and has not
met them for the last several months.
Because of the fact that the question
of valuations has not been decided,
no taxes have been collected on
mining property in Hurley for the
last year. This accounts in a way
for the low funds.
