The residence of John McDougall,
corner of Cedar and Alfred streets, in
the Third Ward, caught fire last
Thursday evening, about 7 o'clock.
The fire department was promptly on
hand, but as the building was long

not get water to the flames. The
building was completely destroyed,
but some of the furniture was saved.
On the building there was 500 insur-
ance, and on the furniture S400.

The Board of Supervisors meet to-

the question as to whether Alpena
county owes anything to Montmoren-

The Montmorency officials have not
yet presented full bill of the alleged
indebtedness, but as near as we are
able to ascertain, Montmorency county
wants Alpena county to refund the
taxes assessed OH the former county
at the time she was unorganized and
attached to Alpena county, for build
ing the new Court House in this city,
and also her share of what county
property was on hand at the time of
the divorce. The matter of dividing
Alpena township will probably be
acted upon at the same meeting
