Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1882-06-03

DAY TO Mr.. Churchill or Altoona county,
who is to take possession in about two
weeks.
The fires which have been raging in
the woods hereabOut for some time were
completely quenched by the rains this
week.
Prof. Sweet had a pretty fair attend
ance at his social hop last Thursday eve
ming. His dances are quite popular this
season.
Mr.. Fitzmaurice will deliver two adj
dresses on temperance tomorrow, at 3
p. m. and s o'clock in the evening, at the
Town Hall.
We notice that Mr.. Packard has notices
up to the effect that he wants so carpen-
tiers to work on new boarding house
and his new mill.
Perch don't bite quite as good .On the
dock as they did and consequently the
fishermen going that way are not quite
so numerous as of yore.
Be sure and not forget the temper
ance mass meeting at Town Hall to-mor-
row, at and o'clock p. m. Fitz-
maurice is an interesting speaker.
The Aipena races which came off last
week created considerable interest here
s. LeGault's horse, which was entered in
the three minute class, took second prize.
Quite large attendance was present
at the M. E. church last night to hear
Mr. Fitzmaurice, and his remarks gave
general satisfaction. Is young men
signed the pledge.
John F. McGinn, who was injured in
Bailey aud Nuite's lumber camp some
time ago has been gradually recovering
and last Tuesday he was brought down.
Probably he will soon be we'll now.
Mr.. French took possession of the
Grand Central Thursday, and many no.
ticeable improvements were made in the
management. The new tables and silver
ware on the tables made fine appear
ance, while the bills of fare were very
fine.
Grummond's Mackinac line, consist
ing of the Atlantic and Flora, is PROV
ing popular with the travelling public.
First-class accommodations, gentleman
ly and experienced officers, insuring
comfort and safety accounts for it. See
the advertisement elsewhere.
AS the Collingwood line of boats stop
at Duncan on their way there instead Of
this place, Macarthur, Smith 81 Co. have
made arrangements to carry passengers
and their baggage from here to there
free, so those that are going will only
have to go to their dock.
Scarcely week goes by without st.
Ignace having scandal. This week it
was caused by the sudden departure of
G. H. Bennett, well known restaurant
keeper, who took all the valuables he
could lay his hands on, leaving his wife
almost penniless. The moral atmOs-
phere over there is pretty bad.
1t is with sadness that we record the
death of the little son of Rev. A. II Lowrie
and wife, which took place at the resi-
dence of Sanford Baker, with whom they
were stopping, last Tuesday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lowrie have the sympathy
of all in their sorrow. The family left
by rail Wednesday night for Adrian
where the burial will take place.
Sam Girard, who has been engaged in
contracting and building here for some
time, had became embarrassed and so
deeply in debt that he could not see his
way clear and so left for parts unknown
fore part of the week. The trouble
seemed to be that he bid on jobs, for the
sake of getting them, lower than they
cOnld be done for, and not having suffi-
cient capital to stand the drain was
forced to quit. Although his friends
claim he would have been perfectly
honest if he had had chance.
The alarm of fire was sounded Thurs
day forenoon and it was found that
some of the piles Of lumber belonging to
the ChebOygan Lumber Company had
caught fire and were pretty well under
way, but in very short time the Fire
Company had their engine on the ground
and the streams Of water it threw to-
gether with that thrown by the tugs
Cuyler, Wood and Bennett soon quelched
it, but not until two piles had been
thrown into the river. The crowd all turn
Ell in and worked well which had much
to do with so soon controlling the flames.
The fire company deserves great credit
