The other day some young ladies who
reside in Colby not over mile from theU
P. depot, conceived the idea of playing 6
great joke on F. G. Nichols, the popu.
lar o. P. agent, and accordingly proceed
ed to devise plan which would work
successfully without their identity be-
coming known. They racked their brains
from forehead to cabbage neck and al
last the dark tragedy had materialized in
their brilliant minds. They procured the
remnant of a Cleveland campaign-an
old white hat with democratic proclivi.
ties-and within its ancient walls enclos-
ed feline. With this menagerie and
three special trains they proceeded to
the depot for the purpose of presenting
Mr.. Nichols with the present. He was
out rustling business for the freight and
passenger department, and some time af-
ter returned to his Office to figure up the
number of cars it would take to export
the Thomas county wheat and corn crop
to the gulf. His hilarity at finding pres
ent awaiting him might be more gigantic
ally imagined than the real fact portray
ed.
Nick" as the boys call him is natur-
ally witty without trying to be so, and
can return compliment about as quick
as the next one. He concluded that as
feline had been considered by the ladies
as present of great value, he could do
less than pay them back in the same
coin. Now, while every onc knows that
"Nick" is clever musician, an apt con-
versationalist, ETC., no one probably ever
dreamed that he was poet. But he is,
and the delight which he felt upon this
occasion caused his sentiments to explode
in the following poetic style.
Here is poor cat put In 4 box,
With all the cuteness to fox,
Left for Nichols at the U. p,
For joke on him, don't you see.
OF course twas done fair and straight.
Not thinking of the poor cats sad fate:
But reflect for q moment of this way
Of being closely hemmed up for a whole day,
The thermometer standing at 1G3,
The cat as dumb as dumb brute cOnld be.
Must this poor cat die, here, in despair
Just for the want OF q little fresh air?
No! "A friend appears at the very last minute
And goes to work "for all there is in it,
He saves this ever precious life
Regardless of all Forthcoming strife;
And with due respect to all concerned
That valuable cat is herewith returned.
And IL you have any crows to pick
Just cry, Revenge! and go for Nick.

The Richa rdson Will Case.

Judge Reilly, of Detroit, rendered
a decision in the Richardson will case
last week, which somewhat interests
the people Of this county. The sub.
stance of the Judges decision is as
follows G. w. Richardson died
June 18th, 1886. His will made 30
years before his death, left all his
property, valued at 81 100000, to his
widow. The will was contested by
twelve heirs. The case was left in
charge Of George Richardson, who
died soon after. His son Charles
managed the business for his father.

Higgins Concert Company.

One of the most pleasant musical
entertainments ever given here was
by the Chas. +. Higgins Concert Co.,
at the Opera House, Monday night,
under the auspices of the Alpena
Lecture Association. The members
Of the troupe are musical artists, and
every selection was warmly applaud
ed. The encores were numerous. A
very pleasant part was the witty re-
mark of II. Cornelius. His description
Of the troupe's trip to the city, and
how agreeably they were disappointed
delighted the audience. He paid the
Churchill high compliment, and
said they had not found a finer hotel
since they left Chicago, as regards
rooms, service and menu. He said,
judging from the dismal looking
country along the rail route, they
thought they were coming to wilder
ness, hut instead found a young Chi.
cago. The attendance was large.

A Detroit law firm, Moore q Moore,
were employed to carry on the contest,
aud they were TO receive 20 per cent
of the total amount received. The
lawyers were to give Charles one-fifth
of their fee on condition Of his paying
the cash expenses of the suit and help
ing all he could. Charles also pur-
chased Joseph Richardson's interest
for 1925, and Albert's interest for
5000. The lawyers succeeded in
making an agreement with Mrs. Diana
Richardson, whereby she paid $780,
900 to settle the case. The lawyers
fee came to $4,000, and the remain.
ing $4,000, if divided equally among
the contestants, would give each e.
500. Judge Reilly then says that the
lawyers paid the heirs each 81 500,
giving them to understand that their
share of what they received amounted
to that sum. The heirs afterwards
discovered the true state of facts in
regard to the amount Mrs. Richard
son had paid to settle the case. They
began suit to recover the balance.
Judge Reilly decided that their claim
was just and he directed that decree
be entered against Moore & Moore
and G. w. Richardson for $37 1868
with interest at six per cent from
September LIST, 1886. The case has
yet to be acted on by the Supreme
Court.

his generous parishioners that the
amount realized was sufficient not only
to pay for the new bell and new triple

entire amount Of indebtedness
against the church, and leave a bal
ance of s400 in the treasury.
