East Tawas people who have
mailed letters on the trains at that
point lately claim that the letters
have never reached their destination,
and a complaint has been forwarded
to Washington.-Free Press.
East Tawas is unfortunate, it
seems, but we feel perfectly satisfied
that no blame can be attached to
the mail clerks on the d., B. c. &
A. line. These clerks are first class
men, and knowing of the claim of
the Tawas people, have themselves
sent word to the postofice depart
ment at Washington. Thousands
of letters are mailed OH the train at
Alpena, and as yet we are to hear
of the first complaint.

Monday evening about half past
seven Mrs. Henry Baker residing on
Tawas street near Seventh, went to
the door in answer to n knock, she was
confronted by young man, who
inquired if Mary was in, on being
told she was not, and that no per-
son by that name lived there, he
turned around and fired his revolver
in the air, which so frightened Mrs.
Baker, that she tainted and did not
recover until two o'clock Tuesday
morning. All the description she
could furnish of the man, is that he
is a young man, with smooth face
and wore a long overcoat. Chief
Westrope has camped on his trail
and it is safe to say he will be look
ing through iron bars before many
days. A place he richly deserves.

The Alpena & Northern railroad
has now a finer passenger coach
than the Detroit, Bay City & AL
pena railroad. The seats are nicely
upholstered, with high backs, and
are very comfortable to sit in, and
the coach is heated by steam. The
combination smoker and baggage
car is also fine one. The seats
are slated, but very comfortable,
and the car is also heated with
steam. The Alpena & Northern is
doing a good business in passengers
and hauling logs, although the lat
ter is but partially commenced.
