An OLD SETTLERS NOTES ON
DOUGLAS COUNTY.
CHAP. one.

The original northwestern county in Wis
consin was La Pointe. Its extent was a hun.
cred miles from west to east, and about fifty
from Lake Superior southwark.
The early history of this region, CONNER
cial, political and religious, reaches back of
Plymouth rock and Pocahontas; when the
Fourteenth Louis gave the laws, Bourret
and Feneon appinted the missionaries; and
&rades got a fifty iUre beaver skin for a ha'
penny needle.
A quartermillennium has passed since the
first missionaries and traders established
their post on Madaline, the queen island of
the Apostle Archipelago, the Eden of the
Lake Superior natives From whence were
the expeditions of Hennepin, Allouez and
their voyageurS to their distant and interior
discoveries.
The county of Douglas was the result of
the first dismembepment of the original La
fPoiute county. 1t was erected in 1854.

persons

from eight to ten miles: clay s. bsoil. i'm

coast ranges, abruptly rising To a mean ele-

SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE. The Washing
ton correspondence OF the Baltimore Sun says ::
During the past few days it has been ascer-
tanned that one Rudolph Blumenberg has dis.
appeared, and at preseH. his whereabouts are
unknown. This is interesting only because it
is alleged he bad about six hundred thousand
dollars in District securities belonging to vari-
Gus contractors and on which be had made
small loans, and which securities capuot be
found. Blumeuberg belonged in Baltimore
and during the Greeley campaign was mixed
with an alleged fraud on the Internal revenue
bureau, which charge was however, dismissed.
He was connected 10 business here with two
other parties, Michael Maudl of New York,
and Charles Frank, ofthis city. The firm al
ways had plenty OF noney and the contractors
hypotbecated District Indebtedness for cash
with them, and now regret it. Among the
losers are J. v W. Vaudenberg $4,000, An
drew Gleason $4,000, P. Cullimore $45 900,
