was generally down TO forty degrees below
zero, and kept in the tEenties all day.
Andrew Hamburger came 10 the hospital

Yesterday morning Swede came 10 the
city ball wishing 10 give himself up for COM
hitting crime His story was that be had
been employed by n 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 aud putting it to his own use has
been such burden to him that he could
not conceal it any longer. He said that
Kmball was selling out there and was going
to some place in Wisconsin TO live, but he
did not know the place, but If they would
write or telegraph TO Rochester they might
be able 70 tnd out where he had gone. The
young man appears TO be truthful, aud
Chief ShOrtall 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

ance at the ball in the armOry in the even
ing, and was a very pleasant affair Friends
in the city dined with each other, and a
pleasant and quiet time was spent The
Christmas gifts appeared to be more numer-
GUS than usual, aud were valuable. Some OF
them that We saw were charming. There
was good feeling manifested between en-
ployers and employed, and in many in
stances there were valuable gifts presented
by each. There was nothing to mar the
general harmony throughout the day.
We yesterday had chat with Mr.. VIM.
MeKusiek 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. The rea-
son that thew 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
BrOEnYille, in Minnesota, which was only
two miles distant 1t seems that the parties
appointed to count the vote Of the county
were strangers, aud 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
eials 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 rsid made they captured ali the books,
as the safe was packed full of them. He is
confident Wilmot viii get the seat to which
it is entitled by two-thirds of the votes
polled.
