Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1884-01-23

Patrick Barrett, at Richardson's
camp, was recently struck under the
law by the end of skid-while en-
gagged in loading logs on a sleigh.
His tongue was nearly cut in two.
The injured man was brought to town
last week, and the tongue sewed by
Drs. Gourdeau and Thompson. Four
stitches were made through the tongue.
The arrivals at the Golling House
the past week are as follows: III. w.
Bradley, Romeo; w. j. Weir, Dec
troit +. Fisher, False Presque Isle
Frank N. Clark, Worthwhile, Mich;
III. G. Liddiard, Detroit; Burt Kigua,
Boston; Henry Bautyelle, Oscoda
w. f. Defew, Harrisville; III. r.

Lockwood Post, G. A. r., has been
asked by the Lee Post, at Richmond,
Virginia, to give them some assistance
in rendering aid to men who were dis
abled by wounds, while in the confed-
crate army, and who are now in des-
titute condition, and such veterans as
we heard express an opinion on the
subject, appeared willing to lend a
helping hand to assist their late enc
mics.
Last Saturday Police Justice D'Ai-
gle, sentenced Harry Burton to pay
fine of $50 and costs, or be committed
to Jail for three months. A few days
previous, Ira Wright got the same
sentence. The two men had been ar
rested on a charge of passing forged
orders on the Pressure Isle Brick Co.,
and one of them drew revolver on
City Marshal Westrope, when he
was being arrested.
Passengers who have come through
say that the train from here through
to Alger, and also the one this way,
have to wait at almost every station
in order not to get ahead of time.
The Rifle bridge being completed,
the time which it formerly took to
transfer, from one-half to three-quar-
tiers of an hour, is now saved. Why
doesn't the railroad change its sche-
dule time ?-Oscoda Every Saturday.

The North Branch House, eleven
miles from Alpena, on the stage route
between Alpena and Rogers City, is
now kept by Archie Mcdonald, late
of the Alpena police force. Mr..
Mcdonald seems born landlord, is
attentive to his guests, will get up a
meal at any time for travellers, keeps
good article of lager, and first rate
cigars. The trip to Alpena seems
considerable shortened by this most
convenient and attractive stopping
place.-Presque Isle County Advance.
The circulation of the Detroit
Evening Journal has increased SO
rapidly that its managers have found
it impossible to promptly meet the
demand for it from all parts of the
State, but in few weeks it will be
able to supply all Michigan readers
without delay. One of the famous
Scott perfecting presses, with the lat
est improvements, was ordered several
weeks ago, and will be completed
about the middle of February. The
Evening Journal will then have the
fastest press in Michigan, and be able
to meet its rapidly increasing circula-
ton without difficulty.
Doubtless, says the Huntsville Re-
view, the missing mail pouch from
this place, lost in transit the fore part
of December, will never turn up.
The Evening News of Wednesday
says of it "There are still no It'd

has the matter in charge, was in town
