TWO CREEKS.
April oS. 1880.

r. Rainhold went down to the city to
attend divine service on Sunday.
Miss J. Resach left on Thursday last
for an extended visit to Chicago.
f. Christensen, formerly of this place,
has purchased the Vader property at
Kings Bridge.
The schooner Traverse left for Milwau-
kee this morning with the fourth load of
bark which she has taken from this place
this season.
The party at Imler's on Saturday eve
ming, Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, was well attended and
thoroughly enjoyed by all the partici-
pants.
Lawyers Forrest, Sedgewick and Tur-
ner of Manitowoc, recruited themselves
at the Two Greeks House on Sunday.
They were on their way to Kewaunee to
attend court which is in session there this
week.
julie Linstedt came over from Mishi-
colt Saturday evening, to talk politics
and attend the dance. julie is an expert
at cutting the pigeon wing" and has q
knack of ingratiating himself into the
favor of the fair which would put to the
blush the most conceited of gallants.
J. Stangel, post master and proprietor
of large hotel at Tischville, has dispos-
ed of his property at that place and will
shortly remove to Oregon. G.. Marshe-
lex, of the town of Carlton, will conduct
| the business in future.
The villagers of Mishicott and Tisch-
vile found themselves under the disa-
greeable necessity of making use of scows
, and RATS in going to their places of bust
ness for few days during the flood, to
avoid the effects of a soaking. The
bridge at Mishicott narrowly escaped be-
ing carried away, and it was only by the
most strenuous exertions that the dam at
| Tisch's was saved from total destruction.
A little daughter of Thomas Lahey, of
this town, was buried on Saturday after
noon, another victim of diphtheria, the
third in this family within three weeks.
Another child is at present lying in crit
ical condition, but hopes are entertained
of its recovery. The bereaved family
have the sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty in their deep affiictlon.
The annual floods have again brought
the suckers up the creeks, or at least, the
customary reports of their SO being are
again rife, and now the lover of this
species of sport will sit for an hour or
more on q log waiting for the tinny fools
to come near enough to be speared, or
plod through water and mud with tenn
perature approximating one or two de-
grees above the freezing point, until they
well deserve the term above applied to
their intended prey. We shall, however,
profit by the unlucky fate of former
correspondent of the Chronicle in this
line, and take ours salt, until the weather
is less ''fresh."
A number of the young men of this
place contemplate starting turning class
soon, not such an organization as the
Meme base ball club which exists only
in the communications of the scribes of
that noted burg, but real, live society
for the worthy object of developing the
physical powers of the members. Your
correspondent approaching the difficult
ties under which rural reporter of in
different attainments in this direct on lies,
will endeavor to have himself initiated.
A gigantic lawsuit involving the ques-
ton of the ownership of about one thou
sand acres of the best land in the town of
Carlton will soon be commenced. The
parties at present in possession obtained
their titles from the town board which dis
posed of the property ct public auction
to satisfy some unpaid taxes. The own
ers Of the original title, however, fail to
see how this action of the board affects
| their claim and have instituted suit to re-
! COVER HOSSeSSlOu. Inc men VINO nave
labored for the better part of their lives
to make productive farms of this land
do not purpose giving them up without a
bitter fight, but the chances are probab-
lY against them.
The line fence has probably been the
source Of as much litigation as any other
object known TO the law. The affection
of the lawyer for the line fence should be
as deep as that of Gov. Smith for Office,
or the people of Madison for annual ses-
sions of the legislature. The justice
honors it, the constable reveres it, and
the man who expects to be summoned on
the jury regards it with feeling ap-
preaching awe. Two farmers of the town
INDUCED IN suit last week, involving
this celebrated piece of property which
was kept up until the costs amounted tc
nearly twice the entire worth of the fence
and then wisely split them and withdrew
the case.
