The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1890-09-06
A party of picnickers went over to


high and the party was apparently
destined to camp out in the storm all
night, and would probably have done
SO had they not succeeded in attract
ing the attention of Mr.. John Bardon,
who was coming home from Wiscon-
sin Point. Mr.. Bardon told the party
to stay on land and not attempt to
cross ia their small boats and he would
send them relief. He engaged tug
and they finally got home about nine
O'Clock.
The bankers of Superior are doing
the preliminary work to organizing
Clearing House Association. That is
all right, but when they threaten in
advance to boycott any bank of the
city which may not see fit to join the
association, it is all wrong. A clear
ing house n the minds of some of our
bankers is simply another name for "A
financial trust, ;" its object being to
eXtort Just such rates of interest and
discounts as they may see fit or suf-
fering people will endure. Such is not
the mission of clearing houses as We
understand it.
Our people were not a little sur
prsed last W ednesday when it was an
nounced that one of our citizens, Mr..
VIM. Whelan. had been examined and
adjadged insane by doctors Baird and
Gauvreau, and that by order of Judge
Roberts, he would be taken to she hos
pital for the insane at Winnebago,
near Oshkosh. Mr.. Whelan is quiet,
industrious man, and for long time
has been on the switch engine here.
1t is thought that with proper care
and treatment he will soon recover,
and we all hope this theory may prove
correct.
Mr.. Frank VanDerzee left us last
Monday for two or three weeks Wis
it with friends at his old home in Al
bany, n u. Mr.. NanDerZee and fam
lily came ont here in June last to take
look at the country and liked it 50
well that they have decided TO locate
here permanently and he has gone back
to close up some business matters there.
We are glad to be able to record him
as a citizen of Superior.

The Leader announces the follow
ing as sure enough candidates for the
office of Sheriff this fall: Oscar y cl5on,
Dan Kennedy, Sam Evans, J. Is.
French, and ii. S. Austin, the latter
now acting as under Sheriff. On the

nedy VIII probably be the nominee,
but it is not SO easy to say who the
Republicans VIII put up
Supporters fat men may have some
peculiar accomplishments but base ball

I threw up the sponge. 1t WAS a hefty
game, however.
Fifth street property keeps climb

j The managers Of our cemetry

! burial grounds. We don't know who
was the prime mover N the good work
/ but we suppose it was Brother Dean,
as he is always up to some good work.
Ncrily he shall have his reward.

eS that are talked of for Superior, but
we RI been unable to get anything
