Col. Bostwick, the prominent bu-
siness man of Duluth, who disappeared
some three or four weeks ago so very
suddenly and mysteriouslY, has not
vet been heard from. We understand
that there is business transaction in
volving some $4,000, OF more, con-
nected with the disappearance, which
upsets the mental alteration" theory
with a good many people. Mr.. Bost-
wick is probably prospecting for iron
or silver on the Canadian side of the
line. The Duluth papers are very
mum about this case, but are free
enough to tell all about the young fell
low who decamped a few days ago
with paltry 81 900 Of firm money.

and on to Winnipeg. Railroads meyer
stop as long as there is country ahead
to be reached, and now that the great
Chicago & Northwestern system has
come as far northward as this point it
will not tarry here very long. 1t
would not be surprising to see very
great railroad changes and develop
ment in this quarter during the next
year.

his opponent in the Congressional

is good granger reformer. therefore
thinks it would be good plau to rob
the people of few thousand through

should compel all contestants to put
up security for all costs in such con-
tested cases, and allow no rebate to
the defeated party.

A SHOOTING ARRAY.
SHERIFF THOMPSON AND Mp. q. u.
TUBES SHOT BY = DESpERADO.
TIE WOULD.BE MURDERER STILL
Al LARGE.

Our city was thrown into great ag-
itation Thursday afternoon by the re-
port that Sheriff L. Thompson, and
Mr.. S. E. Tubbs, salesman in the
Store of MeSsrs. RetaIlack q Cox,
had both been shot and seriously
wounded by desperate Swede, near
Connor's Point. Our reporter sailed
out to learn the facts in the case and
found the rumor to be only too well
founded. At this writing, Friday
morning none Of the actors in the
tragedy have returned to town, and
reports are conflicting, but in sub
stance the facts are about as follows:
During the week two Swedes, named
Johnson and Swenson, with whom
Mr.. Tubbs was somewhat acquainted,
went to the store of Retallack & Cox
and wanted some goods but had not
money enough to pay all the bill.
Mr.. Tubbs let them have the goods OH
his own surety. Thursday morning
they visited the store again and got
few more articles, saying they would
collect some money of one of the mill
firms on Connor's Point that day, and
settle their account in full to-day, Fri
day After they had gone out Mr..
Tubbs heard rumors which led him to
believe the fellows were preparing. to
"skipp out" and decided to follow
them to the mills and get his money
when they settled up. To this end he
started at once for Connor's Point,
and to be prepared for the worst took
sheriff Thompson along with him. Ar
irving at the Point, sure enough, they
found the men had been there, drew
their money, and were even then
making across the Bay, toward Du
luth. The men were soon overtaken,
however. and upon consultation, con
cluded to return to this city and settle
the claim against them, and all four
started on the return trip, all walking.
After going a short distance, the two
Swedes being in advance, few feet,
one of them, Johnson, suddenly turn
ed and commenced firing at the Sheriff
the first shot crossing the face just
breaking the skin on the cheek bone,
the second shot took effect in the sher-
ifs shoulder, knocking him down, the
third shot was directed at Mr. Tubs
and this or subsequent one took eff
feet in the arm, and he dropped Five
shots were fired, and III the struggle
which ensued the man who did the
shooting escaped, though his partner,
the man Swenson, was captured, taken
to the mill ard held until policeman
McKinnon arrived, who brought him
to to%n and lodged him in jail.
Sheriff Thompson and Mr.. Tubbs,
Notwithstanding their painful wounds
followed the fugitive to Duluth, Cat
least it was supposed he went there
and pat the officers Of that city on the
hunt Both men retained their
bullets, and at this writing we DO
not know whether the balls have
been found OF not. 1t was a bold and
desperate assault on the part Of the
desperado, and close call for serious
results for Messrs Thompson and
Tubbs and it is to be hoped that the
fellow will soon be captured. The
prisoner in hand took no part in the
shooting and is held for obtaining
goods under false pretenses.

Homes I'm Michigan.

The story told by correspondent in
the Detroit Free Press in another col
umn, of the success which two men had
achieved in Northern Michigan in four
years, Is one which every struggling
man, "out of employment" ought to
read. 1t shows what can be done by
honest, persistant labor and thrift with
an exceedingly small capital.
There are thousands of men in the
great cities, getting precarious living
from hand to mouth" who can do just
as we'll as these two Swedes, who started
in 1878 with capital of $35 and now
have ninety acres of improved land, with
substantial buildings and all the sur
roundings of successful farmers. Some

vent any jar to the pumps when the
strOke.of the engine is increased, as will
be the case when necessary to use the
works in case of fire. A simple device is
connected with the vacuum chamber by
which air is made to enter and work
through the pumps and supply the
chamber occasionally as needed. The
water passes from this compression
chamber into the mains through an
eight-inch iron pipe.
THE MAINS.
The water mains used are known as
the Wyckoff patent water pipe, manu-
factured by the Michigan Pipe Co., of
Bay City, and are laid on Main, Huron,
Water and Dresser streets, and on Black
River ave., placed at sufficient depth
to avoid'all.danger from frost. These
mains are supplied at intervals with
gates or shut-off valves for the purpose
of shutting off the water when necessa-
ry for repairs, in case of accident, or to
extend the mains. The sizes and loca-
tiOn of mains were fully described in
the TRIBUNE about the time they COM
menced laying them, rs was also the
location of the .hydrants, ibut that all
may become more familiar with the To-
cation Of the latter, we give them again.

There are twenty two hydrants now
in, located at the following places:
Main street-lOwer end,'opposite pump

site Blake's machine shops, Pine, Upper
Black River road, Seymour and Taylor.

Protection OF District records.

Chief Engineer Cronin has presented his report
to the Commissioners, suggesting plans for the
protection of the records of the District in case of
fire. lie suggests that there be thermo- electric
alarms placed in each room and on each stairway.
Also that large stationary chemical engines be
placed in the basement, with pipes leading to each
floor, with sufficient hose attached to reach each
room. There should also be two stationary iron
stand pipes aud ladders in the rear and On the
file. holders and shelving in the vaults should be
iron, iu,tead of wood. With the thermo system
of alarms no fire could exist without all alarm
being given, which woull notify both the watch
man and tho fire department. The wa!cnmnn
with n chemical apparatus could readily eXtin-
guish fire, but in case Of failure To do so the
stand pipo aud ladder would enable the depart
ment to got to work at once. The report furnishes
estimates Of The cost, but states that it would
lie comp ,rltiyely small.
