MURDER COMMITTED LAST WEEK
ON Eastwood LAKE UNS0LvED
Suspects Held Inquest Released Orders
of County Attorney Monker of Lake County-No Clues
Discovered UP to Date.

The burial Of Albert Likonen, found
murdered in the Erick Roster cabin on
Eastwood Lake last Wednesday even
ing. was held from the LANG Mortuary
yesterday afternoon. Rev. @. A. Aho of
the Evangelical Lutheran church read
ing the burial service.
The inquest was concluded Saturday
and was conducted at the fish and game
headquarters at Winton by Deputy
Coroner Robert Opel of Fall Lake,
County Attorney Claus Monker and
Sheriff Emil Nelson Of Lake County.
Two suspects under arrest were released
Saturday and returned to their cabin
on Eastwood where they are caretakers
for the Erick Roster summer home.
The inquest developed that Adolph
and Aate Manninen had left the Roster
cabin on Wednesday morning for Win
ton. That afternoon, Frank Kramer
and Edward Palcher, who live in that
vicinity dropped into the Manninen
place and there found the body Of
Albert Liikonen lying in a bunk on
his face Efforts TO arouse him dis
closed the fact that he had been shot
in the back, the bullet going through
his body from the hip TO the chest.
The body was stiff in death and indi-
cations pointed 70 the killing early the
same day.
The men made their way TO Winton
where the alarm was given The Man
ninen brothers were taken into custody
and lodged in the jail in this city
pending the inquest. Deputy sheriffs
and Sheriff Nelson went to the scene
of the crime and carefully combed the
cabin for clues. Other cabins near
there also were searched but nothing
was discovered shedding any light on
the shooting.
Il is supposed that high-powered
rifle was used and that the weapon was
wound indicating such. No gun has
been discovered but officers are Of the
belief that robbery was the motive as
there was evidence that the place had
been robbed Of valuableS and an I'M
determined amount OF money Liikonen
had on his person
Evidence also showed that Liikonen
had gone from his cabin where he was
employed as caretaker Of the summer
home property Of S. W. Williams of
Tulsa, Oklahoma, bound for the Roster
place. Evidence showed that Liikonen
had made the trip on skis and that
the skis were found sticking in the
snow at the lake shore where it is pre-
sumed the murdered man left them on
arrival Indications were that the
shooting had been done while Liikonen
was lying in the bunk, either resting or
sleeping and that the slayer fired from
a point near his feet. The blood over
the bedding indicated that such was the
case
Kramer and Palcher were on their
way to Knife Lake and called at the
cabin where they made the gruesome
find. Liikonen was about A years of
age and is well known in this section of
the country. Report has it that he is
divorced man with daughter in
Finland and only second cousin,
Andrew Tulla, in this country.

On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immateria.

Some sportSmen are advoca-
ting the placing of signs along
the highways informing the
motorist of deer runways to
save wild life and claim there
are altogether too many game
animals and birds killed by
motorists. 1t does seen strange
that the highways are Uttered
with dead woodchucks, rabbits
and partridge and occasionally
a deer, but how a sign on the
road would stop that is hard to
tell. There seems to be rather
a fascination for some motorists
TO kill which a sign would not
diminish, but, did you ever hear
of a driver who Intentionally
speeded up to hit a skunk?

A Milwaukee man has made
a suggestion to the school board
of his city to have the schools
open in the summer months
instead of the winter to save
fuel. This fellow is on a par
with the one that made a sug-
gestion that the sun shine at
night instead of days because
on days it was light anyway.
Both suggestions will have
about the same effect and the
first will be hailed with glee
particularly by the school kids
who are supposed to be in
school when the fishing, base
ball and camping season is on.
Oh, Yeah!

U. S. STEEL
1882 BUSINESS
Annual Report of u. S. Steel
Corporation Made Public
Last Week.

The depression which prevailed in
all lines Of industry for 1892 severely
affected the United States Steel Cor
poration as shown by their annual re-
port issued last week The output of
finished steel products of the subsidiary
companies of the corporation was the
lowest Of any year since its organization
in 1901. The output for the year
eQualled but 1873 per cent of capacity
and reached the extremely low of 1876
per cent last August.
The shipments of rolled and finished
steel products in 1892 totaled 1914, O62
tons, compared with 7,676,7A In 1881,
says Skllings' Mining Review The de-
crease was $50 from 1881 and 74Ge
from 1929. Exports in 1892 were 90 ,255
tons, decrease of $50 from 1881.
It was a decrease of 974, 972 tons COM
pared with 1929. Total tonnage shipped
exceeded by 382 ,588 tons the tonnage
produced, rejecting reduction of in
ventories.
Because of the closing down of many
ore mines IN the Lake Superior dis
trict, and the extremely low tonnage Of
ore mined and moved to furnaces, a
large part of the overhead charges Of
the mining and lake transportation sub
salaries TO the amount OF s13 ,935 ,0o0
tof which s11 .436,773 were for taxes
could not be absorbed In iron ore pro-
duction costs without increasing such
costs above its market price or value.
Accordingly, the above amount of over
head and taxes was charged direct to
profit and loss
The total payroll of the corporation
in 1882 was s133 81, SOs Total number
of employees was 158,032 Of which 139. 094
were working part time and 1898 full
time. The average earnings per day
were SIT. compared with $50 in 1881
Pensions were granted during 1892 to
2,o31 employees, and at the close Of the
year there were 1854 names on the
pension roll, net gain Of 1927.
I'VE are passing through difficult
times" says Myron Taylor, chairman Of
the board. The corporation IS for
tunate in having had the hearty CO.
operation and support Of its employees
IN all departments -. A splendid
morale prevails throughout the organi-
zation."
The corporation reports deficit IN
1892 of S52.051. ITO after all charges
Depletion, depreciation and obsolescence
represents a total of SIS, 32l sos. The
assets of the corporation as Of Dec. 81
1892, totaled s2.158.732, 20 of which
$50 224,116 was cash subject TO check
Marketable securities totaled SAC. i39 23z

The worst has come to pass.
Those on the county relief list
will be required TO turn in their
1888 auto license plates or be
taken off the relief rolls. A.
P. Cook, secretary of the st.
Louis County poor commission,
says that complaints have been
received that persons on the
relief list have taken out 1888
car licenses. 1t does seem
rather incongruous to have
some one drive up to the court
house for his dole of beans in
a car with new license plates
especially after the legislature
has extended the time for pay
ment TO April Is. Relief also
will be withheld from those
who were in line the day before
the recent bank holiday to
withdraw their deposits.
This is nothing to laugh at.
1t is going TO be a real hardship
on some who have taken their
car too the poor office for
groceries and provisions. In
our opinion these were not half
bad compared with those that
stood in the withdrawal line at
the bank after having subsisted
nearly all winter on the poor
commission which was forced
to cut down allotments on
others who actually needed the
help more. Then again, the
car owner showed some thrift
in accommodating a car; perhaps
a radio; perhaps other labor
saving devices; perhaps a little
home. Such a one should be
helped. He should be rewarded
for his energy. He can't sell
or eat the stuff he has accumu.
lated. Without an income he
is just as needy, and more sc
and his family are just as needy
and more so, than if he did not
have them. Without a license
his car is no good.
