The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1883-05-26
This is not the first time nor wi

This is not the first time nor will
it be the last time, unless something is
done in the matter, that we call the
attention of our city fathers to the fact
that the horses and cattle of the town
should be prohibited from running at
large day and night in our street.
They keep the sidewalks in a constant
state of filthiness, they break down the
fences, they break and destroy the
walks, and the herd of horses that
roam about at will are absolutely dan
gerous especially so for children, and
only last Tuesday little boy of Il e
this town was quite badly injured and
narrowly escaped death by one of
these horses, and when they rush in
great droves across the sidewalks all
pedestrians are in danger of life and
limb. We have or may have laws
regulating these matters, and we again
call upon the officials to see to it that
they are enforced.
-Messrs. Dauby & Richard, con-
tractors of the n. p. Extension, will
in few days open up large stock
of merchandise in the Robbie store
building, near the depot. While its
main feature will be that of general
supply store for their small army of
workmen, they will be pleased to ac-
commodate the public generally, and
invite all to call in and see them. Mr..
Dauby will have charge of the work
at this end of the line, and will bring
his family here, for the summer at
least. They expect to have rooms in
Mr.. Wheelock's house.
Mr.. Allen, al employee in the
Paige-Sexmith mill on Connor's Point,
met with quite a severe accident last
Thursday. From some. cause, just
what we did not learn, he fell from the
railroad track in front of the mill,
head foremost into a pile of saw dust
and waste lumber several feet below,
sustaining a severe cut of some four
inches in lenhgt, on the face, besides
several wounds of less serious nature.
Dir. Gauvreau sewed up the wound,
and made the injured man as comfort
able as possible, and no serious trouble
is apprehended.
Our reporter neglected to notice,
last week, the return to Superior of
Mr.. ]. Collier, a brother of Mr.. James
Collier, of this city. Mr. Collier came
to Superior some twenty-five years
ago and remained about three years,
when he concluded he could do better
somewhere else, and looking westward
struck out for California, where he
has since lived and gathered in a fine
fortune, and last week returned to SUI
perior where he proposes to spend the
remainder of his days The TINES
extends to him a hearty welcome
home.
Col. John II. Knight, late Regis
ter in the L. S. Land office at Bay
field, now of Ashland, and manager
Of the Superior Lumber Company's
business at the latter place, was in the
city this week making arrangements
to ship lumber TO the western country
over the Northern Pacific road The
lumber will come from Ashland by
water, and unloaded on the n. p.
docks, and thence west by rail. He
expects to make very large shipments
by this route if satisfactory rates can
be secured, of which fact there is little
or no doubt.
Mr. Holbrook's family will leave
us in day or two to take up their
residence for the summer at least, at
Minneapolis. Mr.. Holbrook will have
general supervision of the construction
work of the n. p. road, and will of
necessity be from home much of the
time, so the family have decided to
spend the summer in Minneapolis,
whether they will carry with them the
best wishes of their many Superior
friends.
With his brick kilns, store houses,
stables, &c, Mr.. Geo. l.. Brooks has
built up quite a little village of his
own out at his extensive brick yards.
George don't do things by halves, but
when he goes into any speculation or
enterprise goes for all there is in it,
and he is deserving of success in his
brick making venture.
The lecture on "Human Imagin-
alton" by Rev. NJ. Benson, at the
Presbyterian church last Tuesday ev-
ening, was one of the best ever deliv-
cred iii Superior, and we would like
to hear him again. He is an able and
pleasant speaker, and holds the atten-
ton of his audience continually and
his logic is plain and convincing.
