Banquet to The Life Savers

There are few men, outside the
service, who have taken as deep an
interest in the life saving crews as
has Hon. w. L. Churchill, and it is
due to a great extent to him that
the wages of the men at the vari-
Gus stations were largely increased.
Mr.. Churchill still manifests a
good feeling for the boys, and one
pleasant method of his is to give
them a banquet and dance at the
Churchill at the close of the season,
and the one for this year took place
last evening. At the banquet last
evening were representatives from
the following stations: Thunder
Bay Island, Middle Island, Stur-
geon Point, East Tawas, Ham,
mond's Bay, Sand Beach, Point
aux Barques, and Lake Superior.
The menu was one that any chef
could be proud of--artistically
cooked, elegantly served, and one
that will leave fragrant memories
in the minds of those who were
present. 1t was a gem of the cul-
mary art-a poem from the kitchen
and beautifully framed with ele-
CANT and tasty settings and the ap-
pointments of a royal banquet.
About nine o'clock the orches-
ira began a selection, when the
guests marched to the banquet hall,
and soon every seat was occupied.
There was n rose button hole bo-
quet for each one present. After
the five courses had been served
there were remarks by w. L. Chur-
chill, Rev. John Munday and James
Collins, and songs by David Beattie
and Ed Walker. A number of let
tiers of regret from eminent persons
were read, and then, when the table
had been cleared, dancing was en-
joyed until an early hour.
Six station captains and the di-
vision chief were present.

to the depot to report the robbery.
While at the Office he suddenly
drew a revolver and discharged It
at his head. His hand was knocked
up just in time by the officer. To
prevent him from doing himself
further damage, he was placed in a
cell, where he tried to hang himself,
so that it became necessary to
place him under a close watch.
DeRoy has been home only once
since the opening of navigation.
He had drawn all his earnings and
was taking it home to his wife.
The loss it is thought has crazed
him.

superintendent =. A. Tulian re-
ceived three cases of white fish eggs
from the upper end Of the lake last
Friday, gathered by Geo. Platz, and
Saturday the Alpena hatchery en-
ployes were busily engaged placing
them in the hatchery jars and put
ting them in position alongside the
water troughs. When the work
was completed the jars in the hatch,
ery were counted and the total
number of jars of eggs found to be
1871, which shows there are at least
25, 100000 white fish eggs in the
hatchery. Considering the weather
and the scarcity of fish, the Super
intendent and his men have done
good work in gathering eggs.

The Atlanta (Mont.) Tribune
says: "The public sale of tax lands,
in Montmorency county, has been
the largest ever made in the coun-
ty, amounting to nearly $4,000.
One man secured a tax deed on a
piece of land, paying about $500 in
taxes, which he claims has over
1900, 900 feet of pine on it, and is
worth $4,000. His story looks
doubtful, as we doubt any of the
pine barons being foolish enough
to let their taxes default on any
pine land worth numbering"
