him for labor, and he is now at
home for treatment. Mr. Bertrand
is good citizen, and we hope his
trouble will not result in anything
serious.
Thomas Bardon, Esq, has sold
more real estate this year than any
real estate dealer on Lake Superior.
We understand that Thomas Bar
don has decided to remove his saw
mill, now located at Bradford, to
this place, and have it ready for
business by June 1st.-Ashtdn0
Press.
ID. Geo. Morrison, who has
been sojourning at Winnipeg, Man.
itoba, for the past two months, re-
turned home this week. He reports
business as quiet, and the weather
fcarfully cold in Manitoba-the
thermometer frequently registering
so degrees below zero and over, at
one time going as low as GO. God
pity the poor in such country.
Antoine Gordon, proprietor OF
Gordon's Station, on the old Bay
field road, in the southeastern part
OF our county, was IN town this
week on his return from St. Paul,
where he has been purchasing sup
plies and goods, which will be
transported to his place by teams
from here over the st. Croix road.
As a result of lawsuit institu-
ted by Vincent Roy against Victor
Desimval, the mail and stage team
of ponies, alleged to have boen sold
by Mr.. Dsimval to n. Welter, were
attached and tied up, and we
had no stage between here and
Duluth for three days. The
team was replevied on Thursday,
and the stage again runs as usual.
The Superior TIMES has chang
ed hands, having been purchased by
Mr.. Thos. Bardon, who, in connec-
ton with his brother James, will
continue to publish it. The Bar
don Bros. are young men who have
great faith in the future of Superior
City. and will earnestly advocate
it's interests. We wish them sue
cess Ontonagors Miner.
The Taylors Fall's Journal
arises to remark that Isaac Staples
has the inside track on the tax
question over in Polk County this
year. Upon the day on which the
taxes became due according TO law,
he had his agent on hand and de-
manded his tax receipts from the
town Ire asurers, and rendered the
money, but the tax-roll was not
ready and the receipts could not
be given; one thing at least is GER
tain, he will save three per cent, if
not evade the entire rax.
On Thursday night, about nine
o'clock, fast team, with a covered
sleigh attached, was driven rapidly
down through town, and after halt
ing a few minutes at one of our
hotels, proceeded towards the Ne
madji River. The driver here inquir-
ed for the road to Staples lumber
ing camp, confdentally informing
his auditor that his destination was
that camp. Nothing has since been
seen of the rig. The curtains of
the sleigh were SO closely drawn
that 1t was impossible to see who
was inside +; but it is shrewdly sus-
pected by knowing ones that the
inmates were the May-Bennett party,
who disappeared from New York
several days ago.
Attention is called to the card
of II. III. Bell, Banker, Duluth.
Mr.. Bell transacts general bank
ing and exchange business, makes
collections, issues foreign drafts,
sells passage tickets, etc. Educa.
