A Bungling -Attcmdt to Defraud Gogebic County, Bessemer Correspondent. lAt rqeetipg pVf the cqiinty last Tuesday, a rank attempt to de. fraud the people 'iwas exposed through the vigilance of JSheriff Andy Byrnes. James Gtorge, a justice of. the peace at Bessemer, sent to 'the ollice of the sheriff, to have by him, commitments for four who had never been sent to the county jail.

As- a matter of fact, the parties were, arrested on onej day, but jn order to defraud the county the justice made it appear that one had been arrested on a seperate day. But instead of sentencing tjiem to the county jail they were either line? that Bjrnes supervisors and explainedjhe.Jtocta as already The supervisors were rather pleased at the discovery of this bungling attempt to rob the county, and at the honorable course pursued by Mr.

Byrnes. The matter was referred to Prosecuting Attorney Howell, and the public expect him to commence criminal pro- cei dings against Justice George. The evidence is so strong against him that ho should also be removed from ofllce by Governor Winans. George was one of tho pioneer settlers in this county. For several years he.has been suffering from inflammatory rheumatism, and on that account considerable, sympathy has been felt for him.

Rut he has done a good business as justice of the there has been no necessity, nor "is there any e.xuus", for this deliberate attempt to fleece the people of flogebip county. The oflenae Is 'aU rn.p grave when perji tratecl by one who supposed to sit HH a judge of the rights of his neighbors, and to who is given the authority to consign men to prison. Consequently there is indignation expressed throughout the county, and there is a general desiro that Prosecuting orne )ush thecftse. m.p,s^ row fiessarnqr typoj The "King heavier than Moth.

"St. Pau.1 has seen many good wvost- but the devotees and lovers of vigorous spor-ts and athletics had an opportunity to wit- nessanything like the battle that will waited on Dec. 3 at the Olympic." In the above it will bo seen that the article says thatKtng added new laurels to his wreath of victories The result of King's match with Duncan McMillan, Californrifgiant, was not a for King as he lost three out of five falls. It has been customary for tho ropub-. lican papers in this section to deride tho democrats as "calamity howlers." Butattho piesent timo tho republicans are the howlers, and they are worse even than the Simpson anil Ptf- for stripe, They say that wo are on tho verge of hard times and a financial the state in a conference hold Thursday in that city, and while Mr Finn refused to say exactly what would bo done, enough was learned to satisfy your correspondent that a contest' would bo made.

It is alleged to be a notorious fact that tickets wore used outside of the booths; that marked tho ballots with their nails in the square under the republican vignette, handing tile tickets to.votera who could not road or write, with the place marked where they were to put the mark, which in. sureda straight republican vote. Mr. Finn is strongly in favor of an early session of congress and expressed the opinion that one would bo called. He said: "Tho democrats cannot wail until next December before they act.

If they do they will iind no money in the treasury to pay the September pensions of 1898. One of the greatest problems 'the democrats have to solve is to provide for tho profligacy ot the Harrison administration. If tho soldiers do not get their usual allowance next September tho democrats will be blamed for it. Tho McKinley law, while increasing tho rate-of tariff taxation, has at the same time reduced the revenue, as is well-nigh prohibitive in many cases, and the only revenue goes into the pockets of fat-frying manufacturers. Yes, the democrats must act, and at once, or the people will act again, panic, andj.prediotfor tho iron business greater depression than has ever been witnessed in tho country.

Tho republican papers are. doing a great.deal to create a lack of confidence in tho future prosperity of the country, and tho dullnss in the iron business. If they would only let up on this strain, there is no boubt but that we would witness a renewal of activity in all lines of the iron business. J. H.

PI church was last Monday evening, by that listened with r.ea.t etyjo' only must the democracy act on the question of tariff taxation but on the money question as well." and: from the stump in his canvass, that the international monetary conference, now in session in Brcssels, would not agree, and "when that condition becomes a fact," said Mr. Finn, "and not a belief, then tho people of tho United States must act. Tho Sherman sliver-purchase act of July 14, 1800, must bo repealed. Tho democracy demanded it in its national platform, the business interests of the country demand it.and with all those questions staring us in the face I cannot soo where tho question comes in on the duty of President-elect Cleveland as to calling congress together. The busi ness tho country elected him, they havo confidence in knowing that no doub.tl.ui measure can become a law h.o is.

president, and an extra session, will i.n no. way aiVeet business and should bo called." Mr. Finn opposes the removal of the duty on iron ore on tho ground that we cannot lose tho revenue that foreign ores bring tho government, and because they land at points on thoAtlantic coast where none of our ore goes or can ever go because of the cost of rail transportation. While it would slightly lesson the cost of raw material at these yet wo are to. compete with the world in tho.

No parent in Ironwood should neglect to tako adyantage of this excellent opportunity to give tho young a very reliable and thorough knowledge concerning Africa. Father Healy has ponotrated the interior of that continent and is really as great an explorer as the famous Henry M. Stanley, although he has never sought'renown or notoriety in this lino. A Rhinelander dispatch says that Richard Wesley, who has a homestead near this clty.brought in some fine specimens oP silver ore.

Now fat the Mud: Tho water of Lake Angelino is practically removed, but there is yet a groat amount of mud in the bottom of the basin that is practically as great a men-, aco to mining as tho water itself and as' much more difficult to get rid of. As tho water has receded from the shore the soft silt has followed it.

There is talk of driving iron pipes into it, tho end entering the mud being perforated so as to tako the water away from the mud, which is now of the consistency oforcam. It is intended to connect the pipes with tho pump suction aiicl in this way remove tho water thorofrom, which would render it less objectionable. Tho companies are also thinking of locating a shaft in the deepest plane- in the basin, into which tho water can bo drained and from which it could be lifted. Tho problem is a troublcomcv one and will require patience as well as money to solve. Should the piles bo driven It will require several hundred of thorn, they being located but a few feet apart in order to secure the desired Ore.

Gilehrist had been charged with embezzling the funds of the Duluth, South Shore Atlantic Railway company, for whom lie worked in tho capacity of agent at Bessemer. Gilehrist admitted his shortage, and had departed far Marquetto to make arrangements for making good tho shoi-tn-ge, when ho was placed uuler airrest. Previous to this, however, the auditor of the had accepted from Gilehrist a statement in which IK admitted the amount tho debt. Riley's point was that this statement was an evidence of debt, the same as a note or due bill.and that after it had been accepted by the company Gilehrist not be proceeded against in any but a civil action. Judge Haire 'sustained Mr.

Hi ley in his argument ami ordered the jury to return a verdict of acquittal. Mr. Riley was assisted in the defense by Fred D. Hammond, ut Ironwood. Mr.

Gilehrist has a great many friends in Bessemer, who glad to see him acquitted. Now we know all about how it came about that Cleveland was defeated iit, and Bai-iisou iu 1802.
