Stand from Jnder---A. DeLacy on the
War Path

A. DeLacy Wood, of the Carlton
County Press, published at the n. P
Junction, has daubed himself with his
own peculiar kind of war-paint, and
hourishes his war club (imbecility) at
imaginary foes. He may rest assured,
however, that he will very soon have
plenty of real foes, if he keeps on with
his ranting. Hear him, just once:
"Several malicious and lying ours, who can't
control the columns of the Press have done all in
their power the past few months to injure our
business, and they have stopped to the lowest and
most dastardly tactics to accomplish their spite
work, and have manifested the . vndictiyeness
of bloodthirsty fiends in trying to hound the ed
itor down by industriously circulating base stand
ers and lies regarding this paper and the publish
er's private business But the people have caught
TO the aniInus of this spite work and these
leeches and traducers held in silent contempt.
and have most ANONYMOUSLY failed in their frant
ic efforts to crush this paper and deprive fam
lily of the necessities of life. Yes, the barking
whelps and towards have failed, and our sub
scription list is larger than ever. We have only
lost one subscriber since VIC started, and he was
dead beat The Press moves along seTencly and
will yet remind them forcibly that ii is the most
lively corpse they ever came in contact with
Forbearancc has ceased to be virtue, and we
now give these dough faced liars timely warning,
that they well known TO us, and if they still
persist in trying to damage our business and slam
dering u.s. the Press viii have no hesitancy i'll
publishing their names. And then we shall see
if there is law and justice within the confines of
our county. These sueaking lecches had better
keep shady. They don't even possess the man
hood or honor of the Younger Bros. They will
think a genuine cyclone has struck them some of
these fine mornings, when they read the Press. if
they continue to wollow in the sewer of persecu-
ton and SANDER"
A. DeLacy Wood is evidently fit
subject for the lunatic asylum.

Another Duluth Blaze.
FROM the Tribune of Thursday morning.

FROM the Tribune of Thursday morning.
About II O'Clock last night flames
were discovered issuing from the rear
of the second story of the two-story
frame building next to the Merchants
hotel, owned by F. C. Kruschke and
occupied by P. H. Weiland & Co.,
furniture dealers. The alarm was
promptly given and responded TO, but
too late to save the building. The fire
communicated to the Merchants ON
the east side, and to Tom Wbittaker's
saloon and residence and the Superior
house on the west These two build
lngs also burned in spite of all efforts
to save them. JOS. Carpenter resi-
dence, story-and-a-half house q e
a distance west of the Superior house,
also caught, but was saved by prompt
use OF water, after the flames had burst
out, The contents were removed.
The most desperate efforts were
made by the fremen, who had several
streams OF water at their disposal, to
beat back the flames from the Mer-
chants, but without avail.
The Superior house consisted of the
main building, owned by J. l. Dodge,
Great Darlington, Mass, and was
probably worth $4,000. The rear ad-
dition was built by Mr.. Breusseau at
a cost of about $500.
The Merchants hotel was Il large
three story wooden structure, built in
the spring of 1882, and was intended
for brick veneered building, though
it was never veneered. 1t probably
cost $4,000 to $4,000, and the fur
niture, stock and fixtures were worth
about $4,000 more. VIM. Meinhardt
was the owner and proprietor.
The total loss is probably from $50
600 to $50, 900, with insurance of near
ly $4,000.
There were many boarders in the
hotels who lost their personal effects
a man named Jack Reese, working
in the third story of the Merchants,
was seriously hurt by falling timber.
Another man was overcome by the
smoke and carried out.

The Bayfield, Press of last week

The Bayfield, Press of last week
furnishes the following items:
Northern Wisconsin is fast settling
up with class of hardy, energetic
people-a class of people who are,
apparently, we'll adapted to the work
of hewing out homes in these vast for
ests, and surrounding themselves in a
very short time with conven:ences and
comforts rarely found in the prairie
countries.
With pure water, abundance of
fuel, timber from which to construct
comfortable shelter for family and
stock, the best of climates, and a home
market for the products of the soil
equaled by no other section of the
west, why should not the settler in
Northern Wisconsin be a happy, con-
tented, prosperous man?
Two of our Norwegian home
steaders who live about twelve miles
west OF town, were in the village Mon
day having made the trip on Norweg-
ian snowshoes. The manner in which
they handled those apparently I'M
wieldly shoes was caution to the old
est inhabitant and demonstrated the
tact that they were not novices at the
business

BADLY Frozen.

Duluth Herald I'D ult.
Yesterday two men who had been at
work for the Barnhardt Lumber COM
pany on the Brule river attempted to
cross on the ice to this place. They
had got within about four miles of
Duluth when one of them, Leonard
Mclaughlin, went through a crack in
the ice thoroughly wetting his lower
limbs. His companion helped him
out and they started on again but Nc
Laughlin soon became exhausted
and it was arranged that his partner
should 90 on ahead as rapidly as pos
sible and bring aid. He reached here
about dark and got Major O'Brien
and Policeman Halloran to 90 out in
rig to hunt for his companion. They
rode out to the place where he had
been left but he had gone and when
they reached shore the man had got
in ahead of them. Mclaughlin was
taken to the Superior house when it
was discovered that both his feet and
legs from the knees down were frozen
badly and also his face and hands.
Dr. Walbank was called and is now
attending him, but it is not known
whether amputation will be necessary
or not. When it was discovered that
the man had got in, men went out
on the piers and kept firing guns as a
signal for the searching party to re-
turn.

In the absence of any fresh fish

Great excitement prevails at Eagle,

over the reported discovery of rich

cry was made by a well-known Mil
waukee jeweler, and the particulars
are very peculiar. Shortly before
Christmas lady called at S. B. Boyn-
tons jewelry store. 207 Grand avenue,
and exhibited beautiful stone, which
she said she desired to SELL stating
that it was found at the bottom of a
we'll, sixty feet deep. situated on her
husbands land in Eagle. Mr.. Boyn-
ton, not dreaming that the stone was
of any particular vaule offered the
lady 81 for it, which she refused and
took her departure. She then visited
several jewelry establishments, but
could not find a purchaser. At one
place she was told that the stone was
topaz. She returned to Boynton's
and accepted his offer. Mr.. Boyton
subsequently, visited diamond ex-
pert at Chicago, who, after a careful
investigation, pronounced the stone a
diamond of the purest water, of six
teen karat weight, and worth in the
rough about $500. The matter was
kept quite, the lucky purchaser con-
GLIDING to buy, if possible, the land
after getting the opinion of an old
diamond miner that the soil was of
the right kind to contain diamonds.
