AN Oshkosh woman recently
knocked down seven robbers, one
after another. Her husband watched
her from the top of the stairs, and
felt so brimful of fight that be
couldn't cool off until he jerked his

RAPID SRATING.-On Saturday
last Mr.. E. M. Grace, foreman III
the TINES Office, skatsd over the
Bay from Bardon's single mill in
Superior to Hughes mill in Duluth,
a distance of over FIVE miles, in ex-
actly nineteen minutes, performing
the feat without special effort. This
is probably the fastest time ever
made between tho two towns,
whether by man, horse, sail or steam.
Who can beat it?
The will of the late Henry A.
Stinson bequeathing real estate of
great value in St. Paul, Chicago
and other places to his brother
James Stinson, was contested by
Mrs. Jarvis, a sister of the deceased,
in Canadian court, which has just
decided the case, confirming in all
respects the validity Of the will, tn us
giving the devisee q perfect title to
the properties.
Our nonresident subscribers
will greatly oblidge US by sending
forward the amount they owe for
the TINES; and our home friends
will make us glad by handing in a
dollar or two. We will take Saw
logs, cord-wood, ice, potatoes, eggs,
fish, rabbits, cats, dogs, town and
county orders, or any other staple
production of this country in pay
ment of dues for the paper. Now
don't be backward in coming for
ward.
Geo. M. Smith, of Duluth, has
been confined to his bed for several
days with an attack of lung fever,
but we are glad to state that his
case is not considered dangerous,
and that the doctor expects that he
will he up before many days. Mr..
j. 7. Smith, who is spending the
winter with his sons George and
William, il we are sorry to state in
quite feeble health, but his charac-
teristic pluck and energy sustains
him in active business nearly every
day, and he may yet outlive many
younger men.
MIR. Phillip Miller, living q few
miles from the city, returned ashort
time since from an extended hunt
ing tour through Douglas county,
Wisconsin. He and relative, Mr..
SweaseY, OF Osceola, were on the
war path eight days, and as the
fruit of their labors they point with
satisfaction and degree of par
donabls pride to their list of slain
deer, twenty in number. besides
one bear of huge proportions. Mr..
Miller is q veritable Nimrod, and
seldom returns from the hunting
grounds without full complement
OF the spoils Of the chase illsca-
