ming the house for its owner, Mr.. e. Gal
lagher, to keep it open until Mr.. Gala

The school in fractional district No 3 of

pie and Miss Lottie LOucks as assistant.
Mr.. Nevin had charge of the Duncan
City school for several terms, and Miss

cessful year for the school.
A tramp chased and badly frightened
little daughter of W. W. Smith last
evening. The little >girl was sent to
look after their cow, the man followed
her and tried to catch her. She was
badly scared and ran for life and escap-
ed him. From her description the officers
think they know the man, and are on
the lookout for him. After the fate of
Till Warner we would think such char
actsrs would make themselves scarce in
this community.
In the races at Saginaw last week
Stranger did not make much of record
for himself, coming in sixth In every
heat. VIM. T. was entered in the 2:40
race, and while not coming in at the
head he helped make it lively for the
winning horse. He got fth money.
Those who were present say the race
was fine one, the horses being all in
bunch at the end of every heat, making
1t quite difficult for the judges to decide
their respective positions. VIM. I. Is
entered in several races. Mollie Harris
will enter the field at Kansas City to-
ward the latter part of this month.
Charles Wilson, of Freedom, says that
on his farm and land adjoining are DIS
tinct evidences of the land once having

day. From the immense growth OF the
trees it is evident that centuries have
passed since the ground was cultivated.
We notice that number OF lake ports
are boasting of the amount OF fresh hsh
that are being shipped from them, re-
spsctively. Cheboygan does little in
in that line, but few are aware OF the
magnitude of the trade at this point.
During the month Of July Mr.. s. f. Toll
sma shipped to Detroit from this port on
the steamers City of Cleveland and City
of Mackinac 2O6,35O pounds, and during
August 15S,50O pounds, making q total
for the two months Of 364,S50 pounds, or
nearly 1929 tons. At an average of 2h
pounds each il would make 145,96O fish.
When 1t is considered that ChebOygan is
