INCIDENTS THAT HAVE LATELY
OCCURRED.

An Interesting Summary of the More Inn
portant Doings OF Our Neighbors-Wed-
dings and Deaths-Crimes, Casualties,
and General News Notes.
COMPLETE official returns of the vote
for Governor have been received from
every county I'm the State, with the ex-
ception of Manitou, Montmorency, and
Presque Isle, says the Free Press.
The totals stand: Wnans, 1s3. .0s6 Turner,
,171,740; Wnans' plurality, II, ,347. Manitou
Is reported unofiicially as having given OIL
plurality for Winans, Montmorenoy 10 for
Turner aud Pressure Isle 60 for Winahs.
These counties will. therefore, add 141 to
Winans' plurality, making lass.
On Lieutenant Governor full returns have
been received from all but seven counties
the three above named and Antrim, Iron,
Ogcmaw, and Osceola. The totals are:
Strong, 176,64s; Linton, 174,419; Strong's
plurality, 2,229. The party vote of the four
counties last mentioned was about as fol-
lows: Democratic, 3,036; Republican, 3,342.
Adding these, we have the following:
Strong, 179,654; Linton, 177,761; Strong's
plurality, 1893, to which about 14O must be
added for Manitou, Montmorency, and
Presque Isle.
Returns have been received on Secretary
of State from all the counties except Iron,
Manitou, Montmorency, Presque Isle ana
Sanilac. The vote stands: Soper, 177,35S;
Gardner, 174,732; soper's plurality, 1926.
There will be little change in this plurality.
On state Treasurer the only counties not
reported are Iron, Manitou, Montmorency
and Presque ISLE The totals are; Braastad,
49, 101; Moore, 1884; plurality for Braa-
stad, 707. OF the counties TO hear from,
Presque Isle may possibly give Moore plu-
rallty, but Iron will add something to the
good for Braastad. In the returns from Lee
lanaw County there is a shortage of 100
votes on State Treasurer and Auditor-Gene-
raj, and IL Is possible that Moore and CID
dings are each entitled to 100 more than they
have been credited with. Braastad, how
ever, has a safe plurality OF not less than
707.
On Auditor General the returns are in
from all but eight counties, the totals
standing: Stone, 175,79S; Giddings, ILL.,
SAC; Stones plurality, 3,052. Five of the

portion OF the State ticket show about the
following party vote: Democratic. 4,713;
Republican, $500. Adding these, the total,
without Manitou, Montmorency and Pres
que Isle, would be: Stone, 1S0,511; Gid
dings, 177,216; Stones plurality, 3,295.
With one additional county missing on
Commissioner of the State Land Office, the

FISHERMEN have been having good
success in catching whitefish, on what is
known as the north reef, which extends
from Thunder Bay Island to Middle ISL
and, SAYS an Alpena letter to the Detroit
Free Press Many years ago that was
one of the best fall fishing grounds on
the lakes. The destructive plan OF fish
ing that was then pursued nearly eXter-
minated the fish. The fish were caught
at spawning time, and thus the greater
part of their spawn was destroyed.
Then came many years OF very
poor fishing, and fishermen met
with small reward for their labor.
The Fish Commission then began the
plan Of planting whitefsh For several
years many millions of young whiteflsh
have been planted in the waters adjOin-
ing Alpena. The work of the Fish Com
mission is now bearing fruit, and white
fish are again becoming numerous in the
Alpena waters. The Improvement in
fishing was very noticeable last year,
and the present season fishermen have
caught large amounts of the fish. One
tug recently brought in 1000 pounds OF
whitefish.
DETROIT dispatch: Little Matilda
| Oresch had her scalp and left ear torn
off by having her hair caught in shaft.
| The scalp refused to knit and the doc
tors decided that live flesh must be en-
| grated. Matida's sister Emma volun-
teered to give the flesh. The two chill
| dren were laid side by side on the opera
ting table and piece of flesh 8 by
inches was laid back on Emma's left
breast The other girl was then placed
close up to her sister and the severed
| end of the flesh stitched to one side oi
the place where the scalp had been torn
away. The operation took thirty min.
utes, and when completed the two girl:
were bound together, one side OF the
flesh cut from Emma being stitched to
| Matilda's face, the other side being un
cut on Emma's left breast. The doctors
say It is the only operation of the kino
ever performed and expect that the tlesf
being kept alive on Emma's breast will
grow on Matida's head, and at the enc
of four days they can be separated.
