On the 18th, in the township OF
Belknap, Pressure Isle county, two
neighbors, who had been quarrel
ing for long time. met on the
road, and Carl Kopf struck George
Arlt on the head with O gun,
whereupon the parties clinched
and both went to the ground
While down, Herman Kopf, son OF
Carl, aged II, struck Arlt several
blows on the head with a club
The neighbors interfered, and sep
arating the parties, removed Arlt
to Rogers City, where it was found
on examination, that the skull had
been fractured, and that death was
inevitable, and he died on Wed
nesday night. Kopf aud son were
arrested and had an examination
before Justice Cornevan, and were
hound over to appear at Circuit
Court on Friday, at which time
they were tried, r. J. Kelly and j.
d. Holmes appearing on the part

The PrentlSS Injunction.

Ever since the commencement
of the erection of the new mill by
Geo. Prentiss, on the bay shore,
there has been strong feeling by
some of the property owners along
the bay, that Mr.. Prentiss had no
right to construct docks, booms,
ETC., upon the grounds, or in the
waters where so intended by the
owner, and the result was that an
injunction, from which we take the
following extract, was issued out
of the Circuit Court:
"That you do absolutely desist
and refrain from building, erecting,
constructing, or maintaining any
dock, boom, crib, tramway, wharf,
breakwater, building, erection or
obstruction of any kind, descrip-
ton, name or character, in, upon,
or under the waters of Thunder
Bay in front of lots number two,
three and five, in block number
two Of Hitchcock's first addition to
the village-now city-of Alpena,
or in front of a certain strip of
land, on the shore of Thunder Bay,
adjoining and in the rear of said
lots, and from driving any piles or
timbers in the waters of said bay
in front of said premises"
Judge futile afterwards dissolv-
ed this Injunction, and thus the
matter now rests, we believe, and
Mr. Prentiss goes on with the work
of preparing his mill, docks, and
booms for the business of manu-
featuring lumber, which business
is the mainstay of Alpena.
What real grounds there may be
for attempting to prevent Mr..
Prentiss from occupying the waters
described above, we are unable to
comprehend, but there is one
thing sure, if the injunctionists
should succeed, the result will un-
doubtedly be the closing of the
mill and business of Mr.. Prentiss
in this city, and when we take in
to consideration the fact that it is
the lumber mills that has make Al
pena, and still makes the city so
fiourishing, We cannot help but
feel favorable toward Mr.. Prentiss
enterprise.

Salt Wells.

Two firms at the shore towns,
during the month of April, pump
ed from their salt wells about
5000 barrels Of salt. At 81 per
barrel, the salt production of the
shore towns, for one month, would
amount to about $4,000.
Now as there is no doubt but
that salt can he obtained at this
place, it will thus be easily seen
what benefit would accrue to the
community If few salt wells were
in operation. Thousands of dol
lars worth of salt would be OBJ
tanned, numbers of men employed,
new industries started, and the
people of this county, instead of
being obliged to buy their salt at
otLer places, could obtain it at
home, thus keeping the money In
the county. Besides keeping at
home the money that is annually
spent for salt, there would be a
large amount of salt that could be
spared for shipment, and the re-
suit would be that the balance of
trade would be still more favorable
to Alpena. If salt well will pay
an investor at other places, it will
certainly pay at Alpena.

not only values st. Jacobs Oil as
an unexcelled remedy for a great
many other painful diseases, to

also asserts that it is really invalu-
able for the many diseases horses

so often plays havoc with the farm
