Nellie Burt Is very sick with the
A number OF other children

The Misses Maggie Connolly, Irene
H ggins and AZ gle Sullivan left for
O'Brien Thursday for few week s visit.
Skating Is the order Of the day now.
Everyone who can raise pair Of skates
is out on the bay annoying the unwonted
luxury Of good ice.
Our town was nearly deserted last
Monday and Tuesday, on account of so
many attending circuit court at L'Ans Q
as jurors and witnesses.
Norton's store front is being straigh-
tened up and repaired by S. p. Gray
contractor and builder from Kalamazoo,
who has recently located here.
Mr.. Dan Reilly, who has been section
boss here for number of years, has
been replaced by another, the genial
Dan having decided to try some other
part of the country fora change.
The dance given by Golden & Hayes,
last Wednesday eve, was attended by
the elite of Baraga, and very pleasant
time was had by all. A good supper
was provided for the dancers by Nc Mil
Ian ~ Gotta.
aFreeze out" is the popular game in
Baraga just now, the players being the
traveiing portion OF the public and the
r. II. company seems to have the best
Of the game thus far. 1t stands pat
with the world renowned motto" the
public be switched) while the public
continues to "draw" and cuss, and then
"calls" with "bob-tail" 1t looks rs
though the railroad rung in q "cold
deck" on Baraga this time.
1t is matter of regret that there is
no society for the prevention OF cruelty
to animals in our town. There would
be plenty to do to keep them busy, as it
would be hard to find town where
animals are treated as badly AS they are
here. Last Tuesday az horse fell in
front of the Chappell House, and the
owner of the team, instead of assisting
the unfortunate animal to his feet, took
q sled stick and began to belabor him
about the head. This is but one instance
of many like it that could be mentioned.
A few judicious fines might lead some
OF these men (?) to keep their temper
within bounds.
BARAGA, Mich, Jan. 9th, 1901
Mr.. EDITOR:
In last eek's issue of your SENT
MEL" you have q communication above
Joseph Raymond name wherein he says,
/ offer for sale what l aliege to be. a
that the judgement was unjust being
for more than he really owed me; Any
man OF common sense would not talk
so foolishly, Tor my books are open for
iusl ection at any time, as to whittier
dlle1e more than is right or not.
| II was not necessary for him to have
q ld,Uyer to defend his case, for if he
had only attended the numerous salts
brought against him this summer. for
the recovery of the account in question,
he would know more about the result,
and would not have to ask assistance
from anyone else in writing up a piece
for your paper which was made up en-
tirely of itntruths. He claims am the
only one in Baraga county, that he has
ever had any trouble with: Has he
lost his mind? Or has he only forgotten
the time that Mr. Beehler ne iti,oey-
tdLer garnisheed him? And another
time that Mr.. hester did the same
While working for Mr.. Funke. These
are not the only cases where he has had
trouble in Baraga county, yet this is
enough to show how utterly false his
statements are. Even where he traded
oil summer he could not get goods on,
his o,cn name, without having the nc
count guaranteed by Mr.. Funke, whom
he was working for.
He also says l refused to accept mon
thly installments of ten dollars pei
month. / would be very foolish man
If l would not take such an offer
from one of his stamp. l made pro
position to him to pay me ten dollars
per month by giving me an order on Mr.
Funke, he gave me one and the mex,
month he would give me nothing,
told him would take anything he could
afford to give even five dollars, but
could not get any satisfaction whatever
only tins that would get as much by
waiting as would by showing him.
thought l waited about long enough
(since the spring of 1889 and conse'
quently brought suit to recover the
same. think I am justified in doing
what did, and do not propose to bull
doze Gf may use slang phrase) either
HIM or any other person out OF their
hGrd earned money, but when they run
an account with me, it represents the
