Duluth Herald, Tuesday.
Peter Lemagie and wife, Of Oneota,
have divided up, the woman having
found some one whom she thinks she
will like better than she did Peter.
Yesterday she and Charles Cullen,
who had been boarding for some time
at her house, pulled up stakes and left
for no one knows where. The woman
left behind her q couple of boys one
l year old and the other 4 years old.
Mrs. Lemagie told her husband few
days ago that she intended TO leave,
but he took the announcement phil
osophically and said nothing about IT.
She kept true to her word and left as
stated. She is described as not being
very free possessing in appearance and
very illiterate beside. She is about
24 years of age. Mr.. Lemagie and
his children have left the old home
and have commenced boarding. He
has good house and ten acres of land
at OneOta and works in the Oneota
Lumber company's mill.

A match game of Base Ball was
played in Colston's meadow on Sat-
urday last, between the Winchester
sIaie Academy Club and the Red Stars
of this place, in which the former won
by a score of 80 to 10. The Red
Star boys don't like to be beat, but
we suppose they can stand it this
time, as it is the first defeat this year,
and they were not beat at all in their
numerous matches last season. They
give the Winchester boys the credit
of being good players, and hope to
have friendly tilt with them again
on some future occasion.
