-Frauk Doty, q brake m IN was shot
and instantly killed at Evart by Seymour
Baily, son of farmer living nelr Sears.
The murder was the result of bar-room
row, in which half dozen persons we're
concerned. Baily belonged to crowd of
country boys who had been drinking. On
starting for home the country boys were
set upon by q gang OF city hoodlums,
among whom was Doty. Taking to their
heels, the country boys escaped, except
Seymour and George Baily. Doty, coming
upon them, knocked Seymour down and
kicked him brutally about the body. Sey-
mour, who was beastly drunk, hereupon
pulled a revol yer and fred twice, one shot
tearing through Dotys head above the left
ear, the other above the light eye. Pierced
by the two balls, Doty fell dead in his
tracks. Baily was soon after arrested at
his fathers home. He will plead self
defense. He is about 20 years of age.
of the 1000, 900 barrels of salt con-
sumed annually in the United States, this
sixth, ten other States one-sixth, and
two -sixths is imported. Cheap ocean
freightage brings the foreign article into
competition with the home product. The
territory supplied with foreign salt reaches
from Bangor, Me-, to Galveston, Texas,
and back into the country till it meets the
domestic product.

The great contest in the cases of the
homestead and pre-emption settlers
against parties who had located soldiers
homestead scrip on lands within the in
demnity limits of the forfeited Marquette,
Houghton aud Ontonagon Railroad grant
has come to an end as far as the local
land Office is concerned, and had issue in
the findings that the scrip locations are
good The decision is by the Registrar
and Receiver Of the Land Office at Mar
quette, and is carefully prepared, and
there is strong probability that the de-
cision of the local officials will stand,
though an appeal 10 the Commissioner of
the General Land Office will undoubtedly
be taken, and the right of the scripholders
to the land be contested as vigorously at
Washington os it was before the land
Office officials at Marquette, where nearly
q month was devoted to taking evidence
and heaiing tho argument. 1t is estimated
that there is not less than 50, 500, 900
worth Of pine on the lands affected by this
decision.

Messrs. M. j. Finn and ]. M. Case on
the southeast quarter Of the southwest
quarter of section 26, not far from Ish-
eming, now shows q thickness Of from
twelve to fifteen feet The vein is located
in granite. Assays of the rock prove it to
be gold d-bearipR Mr.. Finn is greatly
so confident of success in his venture that
he has disposed of O large mercantile
business in Grayling in order to give his
undivided attention to it. He deserves
to win for tt, pluck exhibited.
Mrs. Annie Gardner, aged thirty two,
was found dead in bed at Harrisville.
Five years ago she was happy wife and
the mother of two bright boys. She then
lived with her husband in Toronto. An
estrangement occurred and one night the
husband took the two boys and came to
this State. The distracted wife and moth
er followed, and after weary search To-
Gated him near Green Bush, six miles
south OF Harrisville. Mrs. Gardner went
by steamer to Harrisville, but her husband
learned of her arrival and at once fed to
Saginaw, where tho two boys died. The
mother followed her husband TO Saginaw,
only to learn of the death of her two boys
and that the fither had buried them in an
obscure spot. She found their grave after
long search, and had the remains exhumed
and buried in cemetery. Then the heart
broken mother retursed to Huntsville,
where her sad story gained her shelter and
friends. She was still young, but care
and sorrow had whitened her hair, and her
bowed form seemed more like that of q
person far advanced in life than of q
woman of her years.
