Winter passenger rates on the steamer

Lynn's meat market, left yesterday for
East Saginaw where he in company
with VIM. B. Ellis who accompanied
him will engage in the meat business.
Mr.. Barclay was formerly engaged in
the packing business in the valley and
we have no doubt but that the new firm
will do live business. They have our
best wishes for their success.
Tuesday morning E. P. Vandewatsr, the
telegraph operator at the station was Bit
ten on the leg and wrist by dog. The
dog was chained to seat In the passeng-
or ear and Mr.. Vandewater was passing
through when attacked. Not relishing
such attention and to prevent repeti-
tion of the same, he insisted on apply
ing remedy that should be applied to
all CANNES of such vicious nature, and
administered dose of lead that put an
end to the dogs carnivorous propensi-
ties.
The general opinion among the Re-
publicans of ChebOygan county, SO far
as we have heard, and we have taken
considerable pains to inquire Of repre-
sentatives of different sections, is that
the county ticket nominated by the Re
publicans is the best and strongest tick
ct, as a whole, ever put in the field. 1t
was put in nomination by delegates rep
resenting the people of the different por-
tiOns of the county, and when the people
nominate the candidates the result Is
that the candidates are usually elected.
Last Saturday upon complaint Of the
wife of Polander, residing to the south
of the road running from Chebeygan to
Duncan City, Sheriff Harrington arrest
ed the man upon the charge Of abusing
his wife. While making the arrest the
Polander struck at the sheriff with an
ak making a slight cash in the breast
of his coat, but the sheriff as is his Gus
tom secured the man. When the case
came up for trial the wife who had en-
tered the complaint failed to appear
against her husband aud he was let off.
Had she appeared and testified to the
facts as stated when she made the COM
plant, it Is thought the man would have
been given term in the State House of
| Correction.
