Mesaba Ore: A bright and pretty
baby girl arrived at the home of the
editor hereof on the Fourth of July
If anything else could have hap
pened this week the chances are
better than ten-to-one that there
would not have been even this alb
breviated issue of this very respect
able family journal. The old man
hereof and the members of his
family are highly elated over the
arrival of the bundle of feminine
sweetness. This goes to show that
patriotism is not wholly dead in
this editorial household, and it is
doing pretty good for one Fourth
of July; may do better another but
never expect to.
Mrs. Margaret Brown received
word Tuesday that her son, David,

ing to couple the engine to rum
away train and in some manner fell
off, the engine passing over his left
leg, severing it just below the knee.
He was taken to the Rood hospital
at Hibbing where he was given at
tention and is now doing as we'll as
can be expected.
Dave was 20 years of age and at
one time was employed in the Ely
post office, later at the Eveleth post

of the Rainy Lake and Virginia
road. He has been employed on his
late job only short time.
Judge Thomas Whitta is at the
Shipman hospital, very sick man.
Mr.. Whitta has been ailing for some

formerly of this city, is at the Rood

The ball game Sunday between
the married men and bachelors
broke up in a dispute over a de-
cision made by Umpire Hanson in
the fifth inning when the players
left the field. The game started
like league affair and promised to
be an unusually good one when it
was so uncerimoniously terminated.
The prospects are that another
game will be played Sunday to set
tie the question. Umpire McGreevy
will officiate on this occasion.
