Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1881-04-09

CHARLES b HARG Err, managing eultOr
Of the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,
was arrested for treating Walter E. Gard
ner, city editor of the same paper. in vi
olation of the anti-treating law. The
Chicago Inter-0cean says if he is really
guilty, it is probably his first Offense,
and the authorities ought to let him off
easy.
IT appears that the proper precautions
were not taken to notify the Beers in the
interior Of the armistice. Consequently
they kept on fighting. After compelling
the British Garrison at POtchefstrOOm to
surrender, the yictOrs reinforced the be-
siegers of Pretoria. and the joint force
repulsed sOrtie by the Pretoria garrison
inflicting considerable loss.
The people in the vicinity of Paines-
Vile, Ohio, witnessed an extraordinary
spectacle on Wednesday of last week. At
the time it was showing fast and furious
ly. when suddenly the heavens were
lighted up by the binding glare of cleo
tricity, which in the driving snow made
all things seem weird and CHASTITY.
Startling peals of thunder followed, flash
succeeding flash and following peal in
quick succession.

ARTICLES of organization of the Mi
neapOlis, st. Paul and Sault Ste MAJ
railroad company were filed with
Secretary of State, of Wisconsin, Ii
Saturday. Work on the road will be
gun at once. 1t will run from Abbo.,
ford, Wis.,, north via Wausan to Sault Ste.
Marie. This is project which has been
agitated for some years and now seems
to be taking permanent shape. 1t is
much needed to give st. Paul and Min
neapOlis an eastern outlet, and COMPETE
tiOn against the great system of railroad
which endeavOrs to make these two great
western cities tributary to Chicago. Its
value to the upper peninsula of this state
cannot be Overestimated.
THE Northern Pacific RAILROAD scheme
includes a main of 2,4O0 miles from
Duluth. on Lake Superior, to TacOme, on
Puget Sound, and two Numbered miles |
of branches. There are fourteen humid
red miles yet to be constructed, but the
central gap to be filled. in order to form
a continuous line from Duluth to Walla |
Walla. is only about 800 miles OF the
100000 of bonds which are expected
to produce sufficient funds to complete |
the work, $2O,OOO,OOO have recently been
sold. The company has land grant of
some 100000 acers, and the preferred
stock of which the amount outstanding |
is about $42,OOOOOO, is receivable for
lands east of the Missouri River.
A TERRIBLE case has just occurred at |
Keokuk, Iowa. A young lady named |
Minnie Rail was Rugged to death by |
Charles Gray, her lover. 1t seems from
the statement of Mr.. Gray, which was
given with broken sObs and tears, that
the two were seated on lounge, and he
was urging her to name an early day for
their wedding. The girl was coy and
bashful, and hesitated about it. But the
lover was importunate, and sought in
every way to induce compliance with
his wishes. At last she consented, say
ing: Il will marry you in April" In
the excitement and joy of the moment
Mr.. Gray threw his arms around her
waist, and drew her to him with quick,
passionate embrace. He was not con-
scious of exerting unusual strength, and
does not believe that he did. But the
girl gave short, sharp scream, and ex-
claiming go! Charley, Pm gomez fell
dead in his arms, her head resting on his
shoulder.
