Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1882-01-28

Friday or last week the drawing IOOHl
car "Albanv" had some new wheels put
under her and consequently missed one
trip.
The ice harvest is at hand and some
very beautiful ice is being gathered.
There is an abundant crop OF the very
finest quality,
There are $500 feet of side track at the
railroad station in this village. This
does not include the switch running
down to the cOmpany's warehouse on the
dock.
The Bay City Tribune says Fred Brown
of the express office of that city had re-
turned from MackinawCity and prOnOunc
ed ChebOygan about the incest place on
the road. Correct.
The ChebOygan Lumber. company is
gathering quite boom OF logs In the
river, at Sanford Bakers dock. The logs
are put in at the high bank opposite
Nelson & Bullen's store.
The st. Clair Republican says the
steamers Flora, Saginaw, Pearl, Nashua.
Keweenaw and perhaps two new boats
will run on the Detroit, Alpena and
Mackinac route the coming season.
Thursday nights snow storm proved
too much for the AlgOmah and yesterday
morning she was unable to make her
trip from st. Ignace to Mackinaw City
although she commenced "bucking" into
the ice and slush at an early hour.
Thursday morning we noticed several
mammoth cases and a large stack of
trunks addressed to RindskOff Brothers.
They were the first installment of their
large stock of clothing furnishing goods
&C., &C., which they propose opening up
in the store formerly occupied by Mr..
BarmOn, under Odd Fellows hall.
From notice elsewhere it will be
seen that Paymaster Lewis Lukes desires
all holding claims against John ID. Nc
Donald, incurred on his contract for
constructing the railroad from ChebOy-
gan to Mackinaw City, to mail to him at
| the ChebOygan pOstOffice a statement of
| the same. He will be in ChebOygan
about February Sd for the purpose of ad
| justing and settling all valid claims.
BY reference to our advertising col
umns it will be seen that another cloth
ing store sOlicits their share of the trade.
1t is called the Star Clothing House and
RindskOff Bros. are the prOprietOrs.
Their store is well filled with agOOd col
lection of clothing, hats and caps and
gents furnishing goods. They respect
fully invite all to call and make their
acquaintance. Store on Main street, in
BarmOn's old stand.
Joseph Campbell, residing on the east
side of the river, called at the TRIBUNE Of
| fee Tuesday and informed us that two of
his hens had recently Matched brOOds of
chickens, one consisting of ten black red
English game, from imported stock, and
the other of black French, from fowls
imported from France. He also inform
/ ed us that from ten hens he has been
gathering fifty eggs per week, and for
| two months has been selling them at
from 35cts to 40cts per dozen.
A good story is told about three
| Frenchmen who winter or so ago
| started from on Pigeon River to come to
/ ChebOygan. On their way down one of
| the men concluded he wanted to 90 to
| the OcqueOc river in place of coming to
ChebOygan. They only had one COM
pass, but to over come this difficulty, as
he thought, the man bound for the Oc-
queOc took piece of birch bark and
drew representation of a compass on
1t. The parties separated and it is said
that the man with the birch bark COM
pass got through all right, while the
other two got lost In the woods.
The Adrian Times says: "On Friday
Rev. A. Fl. LOwris leaves this city to pre-
side over charge at ChebOygan this
state. The fact that he had accepted a
call to that place has previously been
noted by us. We cordially and heartily
wish him success in his new field of
labor. He goes there we'll equipped for
success. A ripe scholar, ready and
fluent speaker, Christian who lives his
creed, he has a peculiarly pleasant and
affable manner, which makes his firm
friends all who are brought in contact
with him. He will be greatly missed
from this county, and our only cOnsOla-
ton is that he will take to that newer
country great capacity for doing good
work."
Last Monday Albert Poland, j. P. of
Allis township, Pressure Isle county,
started to come down to ChebOygan and
came near being frozen while crossing
Black lake. 1t will be remembered the
day was extremely cold, the thermOme'
ter ranging below zero all day. Mr.
Poland did not realize how cold it was
until he started over the lake. He sought
the side of the lake most sheltered from
the wind and where he could get the rays
of the sun. He stopped once but began
to feel drOwsy and it caused him to feal
he was freezing and he pushed on, al
though nearly overcome by a feeling OF
numbness and he thinks he would have
persisted il he had not reached Thomas
Crumley's landing from where he was
taken to camp by the men, as it was
both of his ears were frozen and are
very painful yet.
