The steam barge Olean and Consorts
made quite a hole on the ChebOy gan
Lumber cOmpany's lumber this week,
three carrying about 100000 feet
Another comet is announced in the
same location the recent one made its
first appearance. This new one is not
quite visible to the naked eye but it is
said can be distinctly seen through q
good opera glass.
The saw-dust pile on the east side of
the river caught fire Tuesday, and quite
strong breeze blowing, it created quite
smudge. Men were stationed with
pals of water to avert danger to the sur
rounding property.
The ChebOygan COrnet band give an
next Monday evening. The boat is large
and roomy, with plenty OF room for
dancing and good music will be in at
tendance. Fare, including dancing,
fifty cents.
The excursion on the Saginaw last
Monday evening for the benefit of the
band was well attended and good time
enjoyed. The bands share of proceeds
was about $50. AS their expenses were
not very heavy it will give them quite
lift towards wiping out the debt.
Wednesday night lighter loaded with
lumber, and laying along side Of
vessel, got drift and fiOated out of the
harbOr and sunk east of the channel
dumping about half of her lumber into
the lake. The Pendell went out after it
Thursday morning and secured the float
ing lumber with boom and tOwed the
lighter, with what lumber remained on
it, back into che river.
A hen in this village has developed
queer notions. For some weeks she run
two nests. laying first in one than the
other, and now she has gone to setting
and still retains the idea that she is cap
able of attending both nests, setting first
on one than the other. We fear the re-
suit will be about as successful as was
that of the editor of our contemporary to
run the Bay City Penny Press.
A sister of Herman l.. KOehler, pro-
prietOr of the Mullet Lake Exchange,
was accidentally drowned last Sunday
night, the body being found by Mr..
KOehler floating near the hotel dock the
next morning. An inquest was held and
verdict of accidental drowning was
rendered. The remains were buried upon
Mr.. KOehler's place Friday. Mr.. KOehler
and relatives of the deceased have the
sympathy of the entire community.
We would call attention to what the
press has to say about the TRIBUNE in
their notices of the recent change in the
makeup Of the paper. We hope none
will fail to read the highly compliment
airy notices of our contemporary. Coming
from that source we consider them the
greatest compliments he could pay the
paper, as the past has clearly shown that
his abuse is to be preferred to his praise.
To the members of the fraternity who
have so kindly noticed the paper we
would say, thanks, and hope we shall
continue to merit all the good things
they have said.
Last Wednesday evening in accordance
with an invitation extended from the
pulpit by Rev. c. A. Marsh, pastor of the
Congregational church, large number
of their friends paid the pastor and his
estimable wife visit to celebrate the
first anniversary of their marriage. Mr..
and Mrs. Marsh recognized the import
ance of the occasion and played host and
hostess admirably, making all feel per-
fectly at home. An abundance of refresh
ments was served and music and socia-
bility was the order of the evening. In
addition to many hearty congratulations
and wishes for many happy returns of
the day, more substantial token of
the esteem of the people of his charge
was given in liberal contribution by
many of the friends present. The TRI-
BUNE joins in wishing them happiness
and prosperity.
Monday morning while the crew of
the schooner +. b. StOckbridge was NOV
ing her up the river to load lumber, her
jibboOm fOuled with the rigging of the
schooner Dreadnaught which was lay
ing at the lumber piles where she had
taken on cargo Of lumber. The men
on the StOckbridge commenced abusing
Capt. DOdd of the Dreadnaught for hav-
ing his vessel there. He claimed he had
as good right there as they had, one
word brought on another and at last the
second mate of the StOckbridge jumped
down on the Dreadnaught to 'clean out"
Capt DOdd, but caught Tartar and was
getting badly wOrsled when another of
the crew took pike pole and commenced
the captain of the Dreadnaught
compelling him to let the mate up. The
valiant captain of the Stockbridge, fear
ing that Captain Dodd would clean out
his whole crew, made his appearance on
the scene with revolver and threatened
to declare war at once. The crew of the
tug Carkin, who had been observing the
affair from the opposite side of the river,
thought this was going to make it a
little too warm for Captain DOdd, single
handed, and volunteered their assistance,
when the valiant captain and revolver
