MIDNIGHT MURDER.
Albert MOlitor and His Bookkeeper,
Sullivan, Of Rogers City Shot
in Cold Blood.
The Assassins Fire Through the Window
at Their Backs.

Monday night about 10 o'clock the vii
lage of Rogers City was thrown into in
tense excitement by the shooting Of Al
bert Molitor and his clerk, named Sulli-
van. As near as we could learn the par
ticiiiars they are as follows: Molitor was
engaged in his office with Mr.. Sullivan
when some parties fired through the win
dow at them. Sullivan was struck by a
ball in the back of his head, the ball go
ing through and breaking his jaw and
mangling the inside of his throat and
mouth fearfully. From the first there
was no hopes of his recovery. Molitor
was shot in the side with buckshot, max
ing very bad and dangerous wound.
Only about half the charge struck him.
There is prospect of Mr. Molitor's re-
covery. A tug was Immediately dis
patched to Alpena for physicians, who
returned with it, and rendered all the as
sistance possible. Later intelligence
states that Sullivan is dead. He died on
Thursday while being carried on board
the St. Joe, to be taken TO Alpena. Mr.
MOlitor was doing well. There is no clue
to the assassins. There are those, how
ever, who think that the brother Of the
German girl whom Molitor seduced last
year, and in whose favor Detroit jury
gave judgment for $4,000, has some
thing to do with the affair. This is the
most terrible murder ever occurring in
this vicinity,

Alpena has severe attack OF base ball.
The new Jail at Little Traverse is nearly,
ready for boarders.
Petoskey has female barber whom it
is said gives tiptop shaves.
Petoskey expects soon to commence
work upon new school house.
The oat crop in the Traverse region
promises to be unusually good this year.
Alpena has received her new steam fire
engine, and now feels comparatively safe
from fires.
Miss Carrie Latham has assumed the
duties of deputy in the PetOskey post
office, and everything goes smooth now.
About mile of the new Long Lake
road running out of Alpena is completed,
and Is said to be better than any other
similar road in the country.
A shooting association has been
formed at Alpena under the name of the
"Alpena Rifles" The organization starts
out with the prospect OF being a per-
manent one.

Duncan City Pencilings.

Mr.. Thompson Smith started last Tues
day morning for Buffalo via Petoskey,
and expects to be absent week or ten
days.
Some time during Friday night of last
week boom of logs broke, and there
being quite breeze, the logs were car
ried to the lower end of the bay. some
thing over mile. They have been busi-
ly engaged a greater portion of the time
this week in getting them back, but have
not as yet recovered them all.
The boat race last Saturday evening
between Mr.. Geo. B. McAulay and Mr.
joseph Grice, resulted in a victory for
MIR. McAulay. We hear some talk of
another contest between the same par
ties. We understand, should it take
place. it viii be against time, both par
| ties to use the same boat and row the
same distance.
The propeller Oswegathie, the. first
boat of the n. T. Line out going West,
stopped in here "Wednesday morning on
her way to Chicago, leaving some freight
here for Cheboygan parties. The Cham
plain, of the same line, and first one Of
them from Chicago, called in the same
day in the evening, leaving considerable
freight for Cheboygan parties. The arri-
val OF these boats reminds us Of seasons
past when they stopped here regularly,
and we hope hereafter to have them call
frequently.

The School House.

Much comment was caused about town
by the communication of "Felix," in last
weeks TRIBUNE, regarding the unsafety
of the school house.
AS soon as the School Board discovered
the unsafe situation of the building,
they at once set about remedying the
difficulty. Thursday, workmen were
engaged in putting heavy iron rods
through the building to prevent the
walls spreading any further. Four iron
rods are to be put through the build
ing from east to west, and three from
north to south. The rods are to be one
and halfinches in diameter. Upon the
ends and in the center where the heads
and nuts of the rods come will be large
washers twelve inches square and three
inches thick. This..must absolutely pre-
vent any further spreading of the walls.
1t is thought that the primary difficulty
which caused the trouble was defective
drainage, which permitted the water to
remain in the soil around the foundation,
giving chance for the walls to settle,
This will be prevented in future by the
drains being enlarged and improved.
Competent judges claim that these inn
provements will make the building safe
beyond a question.

The Legislative Excursion.

Another meeti z Of the committee was
held at the TRIBUNE Office last night to
consult further IL rcgsssJ 10 securing q
visit from the Legisla i've excursion party.
1t was stated the main portion of the par
ty went home direct from Marquette on
account OF being unable 10 procure 4 boat
to bring them around this way. A small
parry, however, Including the state Off
GERS, are due in Mackinaw to day. All
present at the meeting last night express
ed themselves strongly in favor of secur-
ing visit from them, and committee
was appointed TO meet them at Mackinaw
and extend them corial invitation.
The committee consisted of Messrs. John
Mckay, Win. Arthur and VIM. Chandler
The arrangements for their reception and
visit, should they conclude to come, was
left to the general committee appointed a
week ago.

at Sugar Island, whose principal product
is raspberry JAM" Some of us held the
fond hope that we might get some of it,
and satcbels and pockets were gaping to
be filled. But all the jam was safely put
within stone Jars. SO we could only i'm
agine it, the eye availed nothing. In the
ante room of the building brisk traffic
of Indian curiosities were kept up, and
the disappointment in regard to the rasp-
berry Jam seemed to be met. At all
events think the dealer had occasion to
bless his lucky stars and the captain of
the Marine for stopping.
At o'clock we reached Mackinaw,
where we went ashore for an hour aud
then set out for Duncan City, which
place we reached at 7:3O p. m. We babe
adieu to the boat and those who went on
with sigh, which proved that it had
ended we'll, and that we had a glorious
time. ONE WHO WENT.

A Saw Mill Run by a Steamboat.

Mr.. Charles Merritt, of Battle Greek,
Mich, agent for the celebrated. Chand-
Ter & Taylor iron frame muley saw mills,
which are advertised in the TRIBUNE,
has just put in operation one of these
mills for James M. Wadsworth, of Gen.
trail Lake, Antrim county.
The.mili is run by an eight horse en-
CINE, (6xl2) and gave perfect satisfaction.
The novelty of this mill was on account
of its being run by steamboat. This is
probably the first time steamboat has
thus been utilized.
The mill was set on the dock, and the
boat run into slip, fastened with a cable,
pinion slipped on, the belt put Oh, and
the mill is ready for business. This en-
tire operation lakes but about ten mini
utes. The boat can be detached from the
mill and be off in the lake in five min
utes time. The advent of this mill was
hailed with joy by the settlers i'm the re-
giOn of Central Lake. They all declared
that there should be one Of these mills i'm
every township where settlements are
being made. This mill, as in fact all
which have been put up in the state, have
given entire satisfaction. These mills are
just the thing to do custom work for set
| tiers, and one or more in every township
where settlements are being rapidly
made, would assist largely in the devel-
opment of the country, They run with
very small amount of power. In every
settlement in the northern part of the
state there could be found water
power which could be commanded at
very small expense sufficient to run these
mills. A mill of this kind would bring
more income to the owner than one
hundred acres of improved land. We
would like to see for the benefit
of the settlers in this section of
the state, several of these mills put into
operation. 1t is not everybody who
would have steamboat to run it with,
but the mill would benefit the country
just as much if run in less novel man.
