The case of the Alpena National
bank VS.. Greenbaum, was reversed by
the State Supreme Court last Friday.
This case is an heritage of the Prem
tiss Lumber Co. failure some years
ago. That firm bought goods of va
rious business firms in this city, and
paid many of its debts with promisso.
ny notes which were discounted at the
National bank. The Prentiss Lum-
Der company failed to pay these notes,
and the bank brought suit against the
business men who discounted them.
The principal claim made by the de-
fendant was that when he renewed the
note, it was on the understanding that
he was not to be responsible for the
payment of the amount. The bank
disputes this, and claims that the en-
dorser is liable for the amount of the
note, as the Prentiss company failed
and is unable to pay the notes. The
question in regard to the payment Of
these notes has been before the courts
for years, and the matter is not settled
yet.

There are two patented snow plows
manufactured in this city, each the
invention of an Alpena citizen. One
is the well known Dewey snow pillow.
The other is the invention of VIM.
Deadman, which is said to be a good
pillow. The snow pillow is used mainly
at the lumber camps for clearing the
log roads of unnecessary snow. 1t is
a necessary part Of a log camp outfit.
The log roads are cleared of most of
the snow and then water is sprinkled
on what snow has been left. This
forms bed of ice for the sleighs to
be drawn over, and makes the very
best of a sleigh road. After such a
road has been made, it is kept in good
condition by the water sprinkler. If
new lot of snow falls on such a
road it has to be removed, and these
snow plows are the best and cheapest
means for throwing the snow out of
the log road. Until this winter, all
such plows were purchased of outside
parties, but now it is not necessary
for an Alpena lumberman to import
such implements-they can buy as
good snow plows, if not better, of AL
pena manufacturers than they can get
anywhere. In fact the superiority of
the Alpena pillow, over those made
elsewhere, is so apparent, that many
of the plows have been sold to lum-
bermen in other parts of the State.
Mr.. Deadman has sold four of his
plows to outside parties, and Mr.. Dew
ey shipped nine of his to various
sections of the country. Sometime
ago we gave an illustration of the
Dewey snow pillow, and a full descrip-
ton of it. We are glad to see these
industries springing up in our city. 1t
benefits every citizen. as it tends
to create work here, and brings wealth
to our city.

Thursday evening at the rink, the
Dudes and Mother Hubbards had
their second game of foot ball on roll
er skates. 1t was lively and spirit
ed game. The dudes consisted OF
Mathews, Shefferman, McLain, Fitz-
gerald and Cutting. The Hubbards
were Parks, r. Collins, Prince, Eddy
and E. Collins. 1t was soon evident
after the game commenced, that get
ting the ball between the goal posts,
would depend good deal on luck,
and each side strove theoretically to
get the ball in q favorable position
where a good kick would send it be-
tween posts. The Hubbards kept the
best guard on the goal posts and when
ever a chance offered to drive the ball
between the Dudes posts, a Hubbard
happened to be at the right spot to
make the winning kick. Collisions
between rapidly moving players often
occurred, and the result was two or
three men scattered about the floor.
The Hubbards won the first two goals.
1t required % minutes hard work to
win the second goal, and the first was
about as long. The foot ball had to
be kicked between 2 posts 5 feet apart
and about two feet high, and as two
men were generally stationed in front
of the goal, it was not an easy task to
get the ball between the posts. On
account of some of their regular play
ers being absent, the Dudes had to
have substitutes.

A citizen, who was recently in Hi
nois, noticed in the towns he visited,
that the inhabitants did not permit a
few persons to make pasturage of
the streets for the benefit of cows,
and he was favorably impressed with
the good judgment exhibited by the
people Of those towns. In this city
the cows are allowed to 60 almost
everywhere they please, and do what
damage they take notion to. The
city is sort of public commons for
cows to stray about in, and it is about
time that the nuisance was put a stop
to. Enforce the law.

1t is not likely that great many
more logs will be piled on the big

OK bow. Some are of the opinion
that the logs will slide into the river
when the ice goes away, and thus
block up the stream and prevent logs
of other parties from being foated to
their mills. Others who are well
versed in log driving, say the logs
will not move until a crew of men go

but few of the logs can be loosened at
time. The Boom Co. objected to
any more logs being piled at that
