from Thompson, Mich, that John Camp
bell, formerly residing in Cbeboygan,
was injured on the 10th. while working
on a rollway, and died the same night,
leaving a wife and three children in
somewhat destitute circumstances. She
writes that Mrs. Campbell is sister of
Archibald Earl, residing on Black river,
and was very anxious to get word to the
latter of her great af1liction.
W.S. Humphrey returned the first of
the week from Rogers City where he had
been assisting in prosecuting Alonzo
Stone and James Gill in the Circuit
Court for the murder Of VIM. McTeavier.
There was no evidence addaced to con-
meet Gill with the shooting and he was
consequently discharged. In the case
OF Stone the jury disagreed after being
out from 4p. m. until 4. a. m. the next
day. They are reported as standing Z
for conviction and . for acquittal.
w. B. Ellis says that when he return
ed to Saginaw last week he found Anson
z. Dodge aud family there awaiting the
arrival of their furniture to locate in
that city. 1t seems that Virginia did
not prove all that Mr.. DOGges fancy had
painted it, and that the short sojourn he
and family made in the old dominion
fully satisfied them with that portion of
the south and so they disposed of their
property and removed back to Michigan,
fully convinced that the latter is a good
enough state to live in.
There was rumOr OH the street Tues.
day that Miss Sarah ShadbOlt, who has
been i'll at her uncle's home in Saginaw
for sometime, was dead. We are glad to
say that the rumOr was not true. Her
sister Jessie arrived home Tuesday eyen-
ing from visit to her bedside and SAYS
that while her sister is very low, the
doctor thouoht the crisis had passed and
that her recovery is now only question
of time unless she should haye relapse.
Her many frieads will hope that her
may continue and wish
her speedy recovery.

regiment, who died in 1879 while work
ing for |. j. Stewart and who having no
friends here was buried in the POtters
field. The post hopes at some future day
