acting as peace officer and Thomas
Ladvalla a bystander were murdered
by men and women inf1amed by "reds"
under the IWW banner. A group
have been arrested and will go before
the next session of the grand jury.
Those arrested SO far are Carlo
Tresco, F. H. Little, Joseph Gilday,
Leo Schmidt, Sam Scarlet, Mr.. and
Mrs. Philip Marsonovich, Joe Orlan-
dich, Joseph Cernogovich and Joseph
Kersich. The first five are held as
the instigators of the crime and the
latter outfit did the actual work.
Myron and other officers were on
their way to serve warrants on Mr..
and Mrs. Marsonovich for blind pig
ging. The woman met the deputies
at the door with long pole and
gave battle. One of the officers was
knocked down and played possum to
keep from getting killed. Myron was
shot several times and instantly killed.
Ladvalla, who was passing stopped to
see what was going on and was shot
and killed.
Things have quieted down somewhat
with the arrest of the leaders. To
prove that the affair on the Mesaba
| is a riot and not strike, it is only
necessary to say that up to date no
demand has been made on the min
| ing companies in any official manner.
The only intimation anyone ever had
of what is wanted is the published
demands of the leaders. Get the
dues seems to be the only answer and
the leaders are getting it. Not cent
has been paid out for strike bene-
fits, although promised and sabotage
and destruction is being preached by
the unsavory outfit in control The
literature of the bunch says 1--WE, as
workers have no country" but squeal
about their constitutional rights on
the first sign of authority. The Ely
contingent numbers about a dozen
of the brand that uses small
pox sign for a flag. AS they want to
fight, it will be well to send them
back to the country from which they
came and where they can get all the
fighting they want. To further COM
plicate matters the wholesalers have
refused credit to all those merchants
who are furnishing unlimited credit
to the rioters.
Cards have been received announc-
ing the marriage at Houghton, Michi-
| gan of Richard j. Trezona and Miss
Mabel Grace McCurdy. Both are
well known in this city where they
will be at home after September 1.
Arthur Toms was installed as
noble grand of the Odd Fellows on
Tuesday; Francis Endicott, vice grand;
B. o. Strachan, secretary and Olof
Knutson, treasurer. Mrs. John
Skogland has returned from Couerrd
Alene, Idaho, where she has been
at the bedside of her daughter, Mrs.
c. A. Dahlgren, who has been seri-
ously ill.

Slogan Bros. store was Quilted and
the stock was total loss in fire
which started Sunday morning at 2
o'clock. When discovered the interior
of the store was a roaring inforno
and two families on the upper floor
made their way to safety through the
smoke with difficulty. Slogan Bros
estimate their loss at $4,000 partly
covered by insurance. The building
was one of the oldest in the city
formerly used by Louis Sletten as a
store until his death when Slogan
Bros. secured control The fire de-
partment worked most efficiently. AS
a help to the department drizzling

heat of the south or west, not so with
JOE E. JANEzICH.
Janezich, who is at East Garri-
son near Fort Ord, Calf, on the

rem, wyoming. They are ONNIE H
PINOLA, FRANK JERSHE, JR., and
OSCAR R. ROIKO. They are in the
1873 FA Regt.
Pinola says that they like it bet
ter than in Oklahoma. They are at
6.242 feet above sea level, so while
the days are warm the nights are quite
cool.

From the Ely Times
Friday, July Is, 1892.

The canoe races at the Shagawa
boat house on Sunday drew 1000
people to the lake to see the exciting
finish of the half mile and return
race. All entries were Indians. "Pel-
lean John" came in first and Vincent
DeFoe a close second. Time was Z
minutes and 1854 second. The squaw
race was very exciting. The names of
the winners could not be learned.
An addition is being built onto the
school building and will be in readi-
ness at the beginning of the school
year. There will be four depart
ments next year instead of three as
last year. w. T. James has just

clerk of court and hereafter it will
not be necessary to go to Duluth OF
Tower for a marriage license.
Ore freights at present are strong
at 70 cents from Escanaba; 95 cents
from Marquette and $1.15 from Ash

Rumors are current that some nom
Bessemer ore had been sold at $2.75
a ton but this is being questioned
even with the depressed condition OF
the ore market. Ore of this nature
should be selling at a So minimum

The Fourth of July was celebrated
with enthusiasm Tuesday. The parade
headed by the City Band was a long
and good one. j. A. Rothman won
first for the best business display and
the Ely Hardware Co. second. The
Rev. B. E. Williams made a most
patriotic address on American citizen
hsip in which he took occasion to
throw several hot shots into the ranks
of the "red flag" bunch. He made
his address from the porch of the
Shipman hospital to crowd that

Engine Runs Minus Fire

If you get into a quiz game and
you're asked whether a steam loco
motive can operate without trace
OF fire or smoke, be sure to answer
yes" A snorting example-to
prove you are correct-is the ether
mos Bottle" engine that captures the
fancy of everyone visiting the Ford
Motor company's River Rouge
plant. The engine runs on stored
steam. Every three or four hours
it is charged with hot water and
steam generated by waste heat from
the open-hearth steel furnaces. The
heavily insulated boiler keeps the
engine steamed up" for at least
three hours of hard work.

SAFE DRIVING
By Douglas Nankervis
Chief of Police.
DO YOU KNOW THE
ACCIDENT REPORTING LAW?

DO YOU KNOW THE
ACCIDENT REPORTING LAW?
Minnesota's compulsory traffic ac-
cident reporting law has been i'm exis-
tence three years. The public has had
ample opportunity to know its pro-
visions; SO traffic officers have deter
mined to tighten up on penalties for
failure to report highway accidents.
Every motor vehicle operator in
volved in an accident must:
i. Stop and remain there until he
has fulfilled the requirements as to
the giving of information.
2. Give name and address and the
registration number of the vehicle he
is driving and exhibit his drivers Ii
cense or chauffer's license to the per-
son struck.
3. Render to any person injured
reasonable assistance, including the
carrying of such person to a physician,
surgeon or hospital, if it is apparent
that treatment is necessary.
A. If the other vehicle is unat-
tended, he shall locate and notify
the driver or owner, or a police Of
ficer. The same requirement attends
any accident involving fixed object
legally upon or adjacent to the high
way.
5. If the accident involves per-
sOnal injury or death, after stopping
and giving assistance, he shall. by the
quickest means of communication,
notify the local police department or
the office of the county sheriff.
6. If the accident involves injury,
death or apparent total damage of
$50 or more, he shall, within "a
hours, forward a written report di-
rectly to the Commission of High
ways, st. Paul. This report must
be made in addition to any report
which may have been made to the
local police.
Report forms may be obtained from
local police, any State Highway pa
trOlman, state Highway district main
tenance offices, or sheriffS or clerks of
court, and from many gasoline stations,
information booths and travel bureaus.
These reports are confidential, for use
of the Highway Department for acct
dent prevention purposes, and cannot
be used as evidence in any trial.

Chilean Precedent

Chile's seizure of three Danish ships is to-
be yiewed in the light of Britain's need for
bottoms and our own desire to help her get
them. That is a fact even though the solution
of the problem of the SO Danish ships in Amer
lean ports is being worked out on different
lines.
It will be remembered that the question OF
the right of the United States to seize belliger-
ent or neutral vessels in our ports has been
quietly under debate at Washington for some
time, There is a difference of opinion on the
matter. Some authorities hold that any nation
may put such property to its own use as long
as the owners are compensated. Others take
the opposite view on the ground that conflsca'
ton would violate international law.
Chile has now acted and seems fully deter
mined to maintain her right to take over these
Danish ships. They. are not to be confiscated
outright, apparently, but are to be returned
at the close of the war with payment for their
use. Obviously an important precedent has
been set.
The answer of our own government to the
problem posed by Danish ships in our ports is
to be different. Negotiations to lease the ships
are described as practically complete" How
ever, there are also Italian and German ships
in our harbors, and the Chilean precedent
may apply to them.
OF course, if the United States were at war
there would be no hesitation whatever, but az
long as this country is not an outright belliger
ent our government is bound to observe the
localities. Irksome as these forms may be
they cannot be flouted out of hand if an order
ly world is to be built tomorrow out of today.

Many Believe Pirate Treasure
May Be Found On Smith ISLAM

SOUTHPORT, Feb. 22,-lR-Ever
hear of the ghosts of Smith Island,
at the mouth of the Cape Fear
river?
Many persons believe some OF
the richest of the treasures which
legend says are buried along North
Cardinals coast some day may be
found on the lonely, s~emi-tropical
tract which was a favorite haunt
of pirates when this country was
in swaddling clothes.
Smith Islands association with
piracy has given rise to the story
of the ghosts.
The North Carolina coast was
infested with pirates, and the
states earliest history is stepped
with pirate lore. The first settle
ment of the Cape Fear country
was at Brunswick, which became
a thriving village and later was
abandoned because of raids by
pirates who had established them
selves on Smith Island.
Theodosia Burr. beautiful daugh-
ter of the rebel Aaron Burr, was
a bride of a year when she left
aboard a ship from Charleston.
S. c., to visit relatives in Boston,
Mass. The ship disappeared and
no trace of her ever was found.
Later, a pirate ship put in at
