A GREAT REDUCTION.
The Log Cut Will Fall Far Short of the
Usual Amount.
SALE OF A PLANNING MILL
Recovery Of Mr.. Bunnell's Watch Mr..
Sutphin Will Be a Candidate for
Reelection.
Special TO the Globe.

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 2l.-FrOm all
parts of the pineries come reports of
great reduction in the log cut this
winter-One-third in the Duluth dis
trict along the shores of the Lakeland
there is so much SNOW that work is very
difficult and the ordinary cut Will be
curtailed. Near Towards mill, on the
north shore, there is four feet of snow,
while along the river there is too much
for rapid work. At VermiliOn lake
there is not so much snow, but even
there it is full deep enough for work.
The result will be that the great lumber
districts whole cut of 600,00O,000 to
such an Overplus of lumber as
usual, and the shortage, which
they tried TO accomplish few years
ago by combination will be accomplished
this year by Nature.
The planning mill and adjoining build
ingS of the Barnhart Lumber company
on Third street, Rice's Point, will
be sold to w. G. Peck q Son, who own
the mill adjoining. The planer' will be
started up and kept in operation by its
new owners. 1t has not been operated
by the Barnhart company for some
years, they claiming that the tracks of
the Omaha road running between their
mill and the planer so damaged the
Peck & Son, owning property adjoining,
can make good use of it.
RECOVERED THE WATCH.
1t will be two weeks tomorrow night
since Aid. BunnelFS room in Bunnell
block was burglariZed and gold watch
valued at S75 and S2S in money made off
with. Mr.. Bunnell neglected to lock
his door when he retired that night, and
it was an easy matter for the thief to
sneak in and carry Off the plumber with
out being discovered. The matter was
suppressed to further the ends of JUS
tice, but can be given to the public now
as officers have recovered the watch
and have very good chance of captur-
has proved himself possessed of many
of the qualifications of PinkertOn in
the matter, and was directly instru-
mental in furnishing the first clew to
the police. A cOlored man in
the employ of Walter VanBrunt
called at Mr.. Ishman's place of business
yesterday and asked the value of gold
watch and said he had been offered 500.
The jeweler at once recognized the
missing timepiece of Mr.. Bunnell which
he had recently repaired, and of the
disappearance of which he happened to
know. He questioned the cOlored man,
learned who he was and Immediately
notified Mr.. Bunnell. The discovery
was reported to the police, who now
have the matter in hand and are tracing
back the watch to the thief, whom it is
thought, they will have no difficulty in
Overhauling. The Van Brunt colOred
man and the man who offered the watch
for sale, also a cOlOred man, and en-
ployed by NJ. B. Harrison, are both be-
lieyed to be innocent.
