feet of logs with force of less than two
hundred men. On Friday 3,4OO, 900 feet
passed through, and on Saturday 8, 500, 900

Augustus Isaacon, who has been in the
city for years, was found yesterday morn
ing dead in Rahe & Hanson's stable on
Main street. For about two years he was
in their employ but short time ago they
had to discharge him owing to his love of
drink, and he used to drink some of the
most vile stuff imaginable, and must have
died from such excess. On Saturday even
ing he was round the stable as usual, but
was shaking badly. He has brother who
is druggist at st. Croix Falls, Wis, and
his parents reside near that town, all being
highly respected members of society. His
brother has been telegraphed to relative to
the disposition of the body. The deceased

AS soon as the millwright arrives work
will be begun ON Turnbull & Black
mars new sawmill, and the foundation put
in. Mr.. Blackmar expects that they will
have to do some difficult piling, owing to
the stones and gravel, but the part next the
shore will have solid stone wall under it,
which will be started as soon as the location
is fixed upon. He says they will not be
able to drive it as rapidly as they would
wish, owing to the building of another mill
at Barnum, where they have charge of the
Bliss & Elliott property. They will, how
ever, keep force at work there. and get
the mill ready for work at the earliest pos
sible moment. The machinery will arrive
from Michigan at an early day. A's'5 Z

Schermuly house, now occupied by Mr..
William Tranter, one Of them entered, and
getting into young Tranters room, cab
baged the greater part of his underclothing.
Mrs. Tranter heard the noise, and dressing
with all haste got out and followed them
south on Main street. She demanded the
clothes, when the tramps laughed at her
| and gave her some pretty hard talk which
got her mad up, when she went for the
tramps, taking the clothing by force from
the one that had it, and afterwards sent for a
policeman and had him arrested. He will
answer for thestheft this morning.
