Leavitt's rollway on Pigcor river had
leg badly crushed with LOGS on Wednes-
day last.
| Reports from Black liver Indicate that
the farmers are goingto be troubled this
spring with catapilhrs. In some sections
the ground seems to covered with them.
| A young mar whose name we did not
learn. who was at work for Thompson
Smith. came to DR.. PERKINS, office
Wednesday evening with bad cash in
his foot made by an AK. He was proper
ly attended by the doctor. but will be a
cripple for some time.
The Free Press makes its estimates on
the village printing matters a low basis
when the TRIBUNE is ahead, and OH a
high basis when the difference is in favor
of that paper, so that it can vi lify the
Council for its action. If it will publish
facts no one will complain.
Gen. Weitzel has advertised for pro-
posals for dredging the upper entrance
to the st. Mary's Fall canal. Bids for
doing the work are to be received until
Wednesday, June Goth. Information in
regard 10 the work can be had of the as
sistant engineer, at Sault Ste. Marie.
The village printing matter has been
settled by the Village Council, and, al
though the TRIBUNE has the work to do,
it is not at remunerative rates, still at the
same time we have the satisfaction of
knowing that the attempt of the Free
Press to "bulldoze" the Council has not
redounded to any pecuniary benefit to
that paper.
1t now seems probable that the pro-
posed s'cut-off" on Sturgeon river may
not be made after all. Mr.. John j. Clark,
a homesteader who has land adjoining
the river, refuses to sign release. Thus
it would seem that one man may veto
very important Improvement. 1t has
not been decided as yet just what course
will be taken with the matter.
In this weeks issue will be found the
marriage notice of one of Cheboygan's
young men, Mr.. james j. Leavitt. There
had been rumOrs that such an event was
near at hand. The fair bride is sister
of Mr.. VIII Whiting, of this place. The
TRIBUNE extends its congratulations to
the happy pair, and join in wishes of a
long and prosperous life. Mr.. andnnM
Leavitt arrived home last night on the
Holland.
The Boar.l of Supervisors, in accord
ance with a resolution adopted at their
last meeting. made visit along the line
of the inland navigation route last Sat-
urlay. They went up on the Valley
Queen, and went clear through to the
head of Crooked lake. They all, as far
as we heard, expressed themselves well
PIE .sed with the present condition of the
work and the manner in which it had
been done.
The Free Press says that the TRIBUNE
vents its spite upon people and then re-
fuses them Il chance to reply through the
same medium. That statement is false,
and like many other matters connected
with the village printing matter can be
found no where else except in their i'm
agination. Name the party assailed and
who WAS refused a reply through the
columns of this paper.
& little boy, named Hamilton Hamel,
had very narrow escape from drowning
Thursday evening. He was out in a
small boat in the river. near the bridge
and in some manner fell into the river,
and was rescued by Homer Field as he
was sinking for the third time. Parents
should be careful about allowing their
to play upon the river without
being accompanied by some one able to
take care of them.
1t is expected that Judge Hatch will
make arrangements with Judge Good
win TO hold term of the circuit court at
this place, commencing June 9TH. The
Judge wrote TO w. ,. Humphrey inquir-
ing if such an arrangement would be sat-
isfactory. and being answered in the af-
firmative, 1t is presumed that Judge
Goodwin willopen the term at The date
heretofore announced. while the county
was attached TO his circuit.
