The Altoona County Review last
,aalx contained fbo folIou,;,,,

The Altoona County Review last
week contained the following:
A demented woman was found in
the woods near Black River yester-
day. She was first seen by some
boys who were hunting cows Tues
day evening and who spoke of it
when they came home, but it was
supposed that they had seen some
one berrying. Yesterday, however,
Constable McGregor's son saw the
woman in the woods and told his
father, who went out and found
her. She was dressed in black, and
wore a heavy mourning veil. From
her conversation, which seemed to
be rational enough at times, it was
learned that she had wandered
down from Alpena, had been in
the woods several nights and want
ed to go to Port Huron. Mr.. Nc
Gregor brought her to Harrisville
yesterday, intending to put her in
Jail until more~ could be learned
concerning her, but she refused to
go to jail, saying she had money
and would stay at the hotel and
wait until she could take boat
for Port Huron. She went to the
Altoona House and stayed last night
and was still there this morning.
She refuses to give her name"

ty Cents.

Naturally, every patriotic American

ber,-which contains over 300 illustra-
tions, showing as much as one could see

that city is graphically told in From
Fire to Fair" which is also profusely
illustrated.

ment Of Religions" to be held In Chicago
during September, which is embelished
with portraits OF many Of tho most noted

County Fair.

Already there is considerable in
terest being taken in the fair, which
will be held on the 2Sth and 10Th
of September, and it promises to
excel any of those of former years,
Notwithstanding the dull times and
scarcity of money.
Among other things 81 900 in
premiums are offered by the Alpena
Trotting Park Association, to be
contested for in six events, among
which is a stallion race, open to
local horses only, with w. II. Mich
OILS barred, which will make a very
close and exciting race. An event
alone worth the price of admission
will be the free for all trot, and the
winner will not have any time to
brush flies, as there is number of
horses expected here from below, and
Doc. Richie has had several en-
quires about the date of the fair.
The purse hung up for this event
is 5000.
Besides the two already men-
toned, there are a three minute
trot, farmers trot, local horses only,
two-forty race and a running race.
