A large crowd gathered at the rink
Thursday night to witness the obsta-
Gle race between members Of the po-
lice force and the fire department.
When the time came for the race,
there were only two policemen at the
rink, and as neither of them were very
skillful on skates they did not like to
enter the contest. At last it was
evident that either the two policemen
p sent would have to take part in the
contest or else there would be no race,
and rather than disappoint the many
people present they finally agreed to
take part. Edward Ruell and Joseph
Leskie represented the police force,
and Thad Kneale and Jas. Pussy APP
peared for the firemen. AS both the
firemen were good skaters, and the
policemen were not at home on roller
skates, the only thing to be decided
was how far the policemen would be be-
hind. The obstacles consisted of two
ropes extended across the skating
floor and two benches. The racers
were to jump or step over the ropes
at one side Of the rink and 60 under
them at the other side, and to step or
jump over the benches. The ropes
were about two feet from the floor.
Twelve laps constituted the length of
the race. The race occupied five min
utes' time. Thad Kneale was the
victor, and the other racers made the
following laps during the same time /:
Pusey, IL ; Ruell, 8; Leskie, 6.

coming summer destroy them. At
the landing some $4,000 logs have
been banked which scale three million

hauling logs into the mill from the
boom. The mill will be in better
shape than ever for cutting logs.

The breaking up of the log camps
has sent hundreds of men to the city,
and as there is nothing for them tc do
at present or will be until the drive
commences and the lumber mills start
up, they congregate on the principal
streets when the weather is agreeable,
and the result is that public thorough
fares present lively appearance, be-
ing alive with humanity. They are
a healthy looking, well dressed and
good natured lot of men, fond Of gaz-
ing at the fair sex as they walk along
the sidewalks. They tend to make
smiles come to the faces of people who
keep boarding houses /; they liven up
business ; they are great patrons Of
livery stables, and they scatter about
the city thousands of dollars for food,
clothing, luxuries, and amusements.
1t is also the season when saloon keep.
ers reap their best harvests, and many
of the lumber boys visit saloons too
often for their own good either physic.
ally or financially. A few drift to
the police courts and chip up literally
for officers fees and library donations.

His bail was fixed at $4,000, and be-
ing unable to find that amount he was
committed to Jail. The prisoner is
said to be ~ years of age. The evil
dence OF the girl shows that no force
was employed, also that boy was
present at the time the criminal act
was done, and that Dougherty gave
her 20 cents and ring not to say
anything about what he had done to
her. The laws of this State make the
age of consent not less than IA years,
and the penalty for violation of the
law is Imprisonment in the State pris-

that the Judge may impose.
