A Successful Strike.

Tuesday morning, upon the arrival
of the propeller Leuty and her two
barges after their 100000 feet Of ium-
Der, the steyedOres STRUCK for 80 cents
per hour. The captains of the three
barges refused to pay that rate. and
held out for two days, but gave in
Wednesday evening. conceding the men
their price. The Captains claim that at
the rates they were getting on lumber,
$1.f5 per 1000 feet to Buffalo, they could
not afford to pay that price. Capt.
Pringle Of the Leuty, said it was the in
tention to make two more trips to this
port this season, bringing the whole
fleet, four barges besides the propeller,
but after the experience of this week
he did not think they would come back
again. The boys feel quite eiated over
their success, and claim that tho price
demanded was only the prevailing rate
at other lake ports. The mill proprie-
tors were hoping the strike wOuM not
be successful, as it means an advance
in freight on lumber. The men behaved
themselves quite orderly, and used no
force, although some of them talked q
little too much. The captains claim
that they could have had plenty of men
to work at the old rate if the strikers
had not interfered. Thursday morning
full forces were at work on all three
barges. The dockwOllopers at work on
the schooner Newsboy struck at noon
Tuesday, but the captain only having a
part of deck load to put on, completed
his load with his own crew.

Board of Supervisors to erect new
township out of the territory in town 3S,

township of Hepburn. In his travels he
stopped at the residence of a man named
Schiller, some IL or l5 miles west of Che
boygan. He knocked at the door, but
met no response. Hearing persons in
side he knocked again and in response
was startled to receive salute from
pistol, through crack in the wall near
where he stood, the powder from the shot
scOrching his coat sleeve. After such
reception he did not stand on the order
of his going but left at once. He came
to town. entered complaint and a war
rant was issued. Saturday Sheriff Har-
ringtOn and Marshal Lynn, with John
Marx as interpreter, went out to serve
the warrant. On reaching the house
MIR. Marx was instructed to knock and
inform the woman of the house of the
object of the visit and to assure her they
did not intend to harm her. Mr.. Marx
knocked on the door and gave her the
information, as instructed, but meeting
no responSe was just turning around to
talk with the Sheriff. when bang went
the pistol through the same port hole,
the powder striking Mr.. Marx in the
face. Sheriff Harrington concluded to
take the fort by storm, picked up an Ak
and let drive at the door, bursting it in
and rushing in, and was received by the
woman of the house presenting the pis-
tOl at him. lie grabbed her hand and
wrenched the weapon from her. She
was brought to town, arraigned. plead
not guilty aud gave bail to appear for
trial to-day. Her neighbors say she is
very superstitious and a strong believer
in witches, and will not allow any one
out of her family to enter her house.
She claims the pistol was only loaded
with powder, and she only fired to
frighten the parties away.

The Pcnsaukee Ashore.

The schooner Pensaukee struck Light
house Point yesterday morning about
four o'clock. 1t was raining and blow
ing hard and very thick. The Captain
says all hands were on deck and strict
lookout kept. The light on the point
could be seen and they thought they
were farther off land than they proved to
be. The first they knew of the danger
was seeing the breakers ahead, but too
late to avoid striking. She went on
with full force and is well out of water.
Yesterday the sea kept working her
further in. She is full of water to the
level of the lake, but the Captain thinks
the leak is caused by the Oakum working
out of the seams. She is in only two or
three feet Of water and will have to be
dredged out. The Captain came ashore
this morning and telegraphed to her
owners for instructions. The schooner
was bound to ChebOygan after cargo OF
lumber.
