Most Hunters Have a Speciality.

That there is such thing as Il speciality
among professional hunters will strike
some people rs peculiar. The commonly
accepted idea is that if man can shoot
at one thing he can at another. But such
is not the case. Not only that. but by try
ing all kinds of game u hunter may ruin
himself for all The man who hunts snipe
is generally through when his seasons end
II he shoots any other game. it is for his
own use. He some days sends in 2n0 birds
as the result of one days work. Strings of
30, 80 and 1O0 arc not infrcqucnt His har-
vest is at the scascn of the year when the
birds sell at 81 30 and S3a dozen. The duck
hunter is also Of class to himself This
is particularly true of the wood duck

The chicken and quail hunters are gen
orally the same. and in large part they are

Repke Said He Lied.

A statement has been received at
this city from VIM. Repke, and is
sworn to before a notary public.
In that document Repke says that
all the testimony he gave at the
trial of the Molitor murderers was
utterly untrue and false in every
respect; that the defendants Gross
man, Vogeler, Furhman and Jacobs
were not at the Office Of said Moli-
tor at the time Of said murder, nor
did they at any time to his know
ledge or belief go there or have
firearms, and further that they, the
said defendants had no hand, act,
deed or part in the murder of said
Molitor, and that the evidence tes-
titled and sworn to by this deponent
at the trials of said defendants, is
absolutely false and untrue in each
and every respect"
Repke also states that he was
promised to be set free and makes
serious charges against Presque
Isle county officials, but man who
has made false charges is not to be
believed regarding anything he
says. 1t does seem that the four
men, convicted on Repke's lying
statements, should be set at liberty,
and the Governor ought to be petit
toned to pardon and set them free.

Opera Company.

The Bankson Stock Company
commenced a weeks season at the
Opera House last Saturday evening
opening. with the comedy drama,
Dolly" which was rendered in a
very capable manner. The play is
good one, with an exciting plot
and interest is maintained during
all the four acts, the concluding
part coming to an end with a scene
of more interest than is found in
most plays.
Ray Bankson represented the
part of an eccentric English dude,
and gave us the best representation
Of such character that we have
witnessed for a long time. His
support was good, and the part of
the Italian william, taken by Charles
Ellis, is also worthy of mention.
The drama last evening was "A
Black Spider"
Judging the company by the
work done the first evening, they
are worthy of patronage.

D., B. c. and Alpena Railroad

The following from the Detroit
Free Press shows that the U. S. court
has another law problem to solve:
Last August, Thomas Heating, &
19-year-old'b boy, residing at Tawas
City, recovered a judgment against
the Detroit, Bay City & Alpena
Railroad Company for $4,000 in
the Oscoda Circuit Court. In Sep
TENDER, 1890, Heating was pass
enger on one of the railroads trains,
which was made up of passenger
coaches and log cars. a log fell
from one of the cars and, striking a
switch bar, broke it, and misplaced
the switch, thereby derailing and
wrecking the passenger coach
which followed. A broken rail
passed through the floor of the
coach and struck young Heating in
the right side, breaking six ribs and
injuring him for life. The judg-
ment was for damages sustained by
the accident.
On September 4, the bondholders
of the railroad filed q bill in the
United States Circuit Court IN this
city asking for the appointment of
receiver, because the company had
refused to pay the interest on it's
mortgages. Ten days later levy
was made on three of the companyts
locomotives to satisfy an execution
on Keating's judgment, and the
sheriff advertised the sale for the
last week in October. In the mean
time a receiver had been appointed
for the road, and a preliminary in
junction had been issued by Judge
Swan restraining the sale because
foreclosure proceedings had been
commenced. Yesterday Judge Swan
entertained a motion by Keating's
attorney, w. HI. H. Russell, to set
aside the injunction and to permit
the judgement to be lien on the
bond holders mortgage. The
matter is an important one, involv-
ing, as it does, the question of
whether the United States Court
can obtain, by such proceeding as
the bondholders instituted, such ex-
elusive jurisdiction as to stop the
processes of the state courts. Mr..
Russell, in the course of his argu-
ment, recited the fact that it would
be possible under such decision for
a railroad, against whom two score
or more damage cases were pend
ing, as in the case of the Michigan
Central Railroad for the Jackson
horror, to refuse to pay interest on
it's mortgages, and, by bringing
suit for foreclosure, the bondhold-
ers could entirely shut off the dam
age cases against the railroad COM
pany. Judge Swan took the mat
ter under consideration.

the Circuit Court several days last
week, and Saturday afternoon the
jury rendered a verdict OF man.
slaughter. Last Monday morning
the prisoner was brought before
Judge Kelley and he was sentenced
to fifteen years Imprisonment at
hard labor at the State prison.
The case in short is as follows:
Wellington Scrimshaw lived on a
tract Of land at Partridge Point and
had engaged Mr.. and Mr.. Cullum
to keep house for him. On Sep
TENDER 10Th James Halter called
1T Scrimshaw's house and got into a
row with Mrs. Cullen, who picked
up a pitchfork to defend herself.
Scrimshaw, hearing the woman's
cries, ran to the house, got his gun,
and pointed it at Halter, intending,
as he says, to scare him away. The
gun discharged and Halter was
killed, Scrimshaw surrendered to
the officials, and he claims he did
not intend to commit murder.

About seven o'clock Friday even
ing the propeller jerks was discov-
ed on fire and an alarm sent for the
fire department. At that time the
jerks was lying alongside the
Churchill mill wharf, in front of
the Churchill house. Soon after
the alarm was sounded the fire de-
partment arrived on the scene and
it took the boys but short time to
lay 400 feet of hose and put out the
flames. The fire is said to have
been caused by an exploding lamp
in the captains room, and that
apartment was wrecked by the
blaze The damage, including
money burned in the captains desk,
and clothes, etc. in the room amounts
to about 81 900. The fire depart
ment did creditable job in putting
out the fire as soon as they did. If
the flames had reached the lumber
piles a big fire would have resulted.
