the recipient Of q handsome Christmas card
and package Of choice confectionery. They

Yesterday morning a-Sxede came to the
city hall wishing 10 give himself up for COM
hitting crime. His story was that he had
been employed by man named Kimball,
near Rochester, in this state, that his en-
ployer lost a hundred dollars, that he found
it, but instead of giving It back he had sent
it to friends in Sweden. The taking OF the
money and putting 1t to his own use has
been such burden to him that he could
not conceal 1t any longer. He said that
Kimball was selling out there and was going
TO some place in Wisconsin 70 live, but he
did not know the place, but II they would
write or telegraph TO Rochester they might
be able 10 find out where he had gone. The
young man appears to be truthful, and
Chief ShOrtan telegraphed as directed.
Christmas was duly observed yesterday
The several churches had religious services,
which were well attended. notwithstanding
the intense cold. AT the roller skating rink
there were large gatherings In the afternoon
and evening, the band being present at both
sessions. Company X had a good attend
anre at the ball in the arInOry in the even
ing, and was a very pleasant affair. Friends
in the city dined with each other, and q
pleasant and quiet time was spent. The
Christmas gifts appeared 10 be more numer-
Gus than usual, and were valuable. Some of
them that We saw were charming. There
was good feeling manifeSted between en-
ployers and employed, and 10 many in
stances there were valuable gifts presented
by each. There was nothing 10 mar the
general harmony throughout the day.
We yesterday had q chat with Mr. WIN.
McKusick Of Wilmot, Roberts county, D. T.,
who has arrived home to visit his friends. He
gave US some account of the county seat
trouble, and the means taken to get the
county books from Traverse City. TIE rea-
son that they took the law into their. own
hands was, they had tried for two months to
serve the necessary documents on the
county officials at Traverse but were unable
to do it as they always skipped TO
Brownville, in Minnesota, which was only
two miles distant 1t seems that the parties
appointed TO count the vote Of the county
were strangers, and when they found the
vote two-thirds in favor of Wilmot they de-
stroyed the ballots in its favor and counted
those in favor OF Traverse, swore in the off,
Gals thus elected. and skipped. Wilmot
would not stand this, and has been endeav-
oring since the election to get the case into
court, but could not for the reason stated.
In the raid made they captured all the books,
as the safe was packed full OF them. He is
confident Wiimot will get the seat to which
it is entitled BY two-thirds of the votes
polled.
