Though Italy has 9lS daily papers, the
combined circulation of them all does not
equal that of some of our great American
dalies. The greatest there only has a
circulation of 10000. Italy is not good

ciful editor.

Stabbing Affair.
From the Northern Mail.

From the Northern Mail.
AT a camp in 2S-4, on the Thun-
der Bay headwaters last week, man
named LeMieux, it is said, came near
losing his life. Just after dinner as
he was leaving the camp for work, a
rough assailed him with large clasp
knife. Another knocked him down
from behind while the first inflicted a
severe flesh wound in his hip, the
knife cutting through pass book in
LeMieux' hip pocket. A pass was
made at his breast, but the knife
closed, cutting the assailant's hand.
Another appeared on the ground with
an axe and struck at the PROSTATE
man, but he was pulled to one side
and the blow entered the ground be-
tween the victims legs. After re-
gaining his feet he was struck at with
an axe, but warded off the blows, re-
ceiving in one case a severe blow on
the back of the hand from the helve.
He took refuge in one of the shanties
when three men appeared at the door
with axes but were persuaded by a
revolver to stay outside. The man
made his escape and went over forty
miles to Alpena before discovering that
he must make complaint in this coun-
ty (Oscoda.) 1t is said that for some
time roughs on the Thunder Bay
river have acted upon the belief that
no law existed beyond the Alpena
county line, but if they attempt to
make picnic ground of 2S-4, some
of them may at least discover that
Oscoda county is organized. Sheriff
Mcdonald is now in pursuit of the
outlaws.
We are inclined to the belief that
the Northern Mail has somewhat ex-
aggerated the disturbance which re-
Gently took place at the above men,
toned locality, for it does seem that
if a gang of men had assaulted one
man, they would have done him Sc
rious injuries. 1t is probably the
same fracas that was mentioned in the
ARGUS few weeks ago, and which
was free fight among number of
the men, and notan organized attack on
one man. Neither do we believe that
the lumber camps referred are in
tested with roughs, and it is certainly
not fair to charge a whole region with
lawlessness because one or two men
have violated the laws. If the article
in the Northern Mail is correct, we
hope the Oscoda sheriff will be able
to capture the assailants.

Messrs. Turrey and Baker were in
town last Saturday. These gentle
men are engaged in surveying the
Michigan Central railroad from Bea-
yer Lake to Alpena, distance of
some seventy miles, and concerning
which we made mention some weeks
ago. The line has been surveyed to
the junction of Wolff Greek and the
South Branch, and about twenty-one
miles are yet to be surveyed. The
whole surveying party numbers some
eighteen men, and the line so far sur
veyed is said to be very favorable for
building railroad. Whether the
Michigan Central will build the road
this summer, or even commence oper-
atoms, will probably depend on the
shore railroad company. If the shore
company should extend their road to
this place there is good reason for be-
lieving that the Michigan Central
will construct their line to this city.
1t seems that the object of the Michi-
gan Central is to shut out the Pere
Marquette railroad, which desires a
feeder from this section of the coun-
try. There is q possibility of two
railroads being built to Alpena-but
not this month-some other month.
