Law and Order League.

A meeting was held at the Opera
House Sunday afternoon, to organ
ize a society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals and children,
which was attended by about 100
people.
James Bowden was selected as
chairman, and the secretary, Joseph
Cavanagh, reported the result of
his work since the last meeting.
He had corresponded with and re-
ceived information from various
societies in other cities, similar to
the one proposed to be organized
here, and had prepared a set of by
laws to be submitted to the meet
ing.
The bylaws provide that the
name of the society shall be the
"Alpena Law and Order League. "
Officers are to consist of President,
Vice-President, Secretary, and Treas
urer. Members are to select nine
directors, and those chosen will Sc
lect the officers from their number.
Dues to be one dollar per year.
Provisions are made for reporting
violations of law to the police, for
meetings, for employing special
agents and other necessary work.
After some discussion the by
laws were approved by the meeting.
Papers were circulated among the
audience for those to sign who de-
sired to become members, and many
names were secured. To obtain
further membership James Bowden
and j. j. Mcleod were appointed a
committee to canvass for signers,
and a copy is to be left at II. II.
Wittelshofer's store, where those
who desire to join can sign their
names.
Remarks were made by Joseph
Cavanagh, Rev. John Munday, F.
S. Ford, Rev. H. H. VanAuken,
Henry Pollard, Rev. J. L. Hudson,
and DR.. Ziegenfuss. Some Of the
speakers delivered stirring remarks
on the great need Of such an or
ganization, to prevent saloon keep
ers from violating the laws, to close
dives, to stop the cruel treatment of
animals, and to prevent immortality.
The meeting was a lively and en-
thusiastic one.
Rev John Munday, j. d. Potter
and Rev. j. L. Hudson were appoint
ed a committee to nominate the nine
directors, and the meeting then ad-
journed until Wednesday evening.

Premium List.

We have been asked several times
recently as to when the Agricul-
tural Society would set the time
for the 1884 county fair, and also
publish the list of premiums to be
awarded, and it would seem to us
that this is a matter that should be
looked after as early as possible.
During the first few years of the
existence of the society, the pre-
MUM list was gotten out and pub
lished in the spring, thus giving all
would-be exhibitors an opportunity
to see what premiums were offered,
so that they might have time to
prepare articles, raise vegetables or
arrange their stock for the coming
exhibition. However, of late years
the society has fallen into the prac-
tice of holding the list from the
public until only a short time before
the date of the fair, and in some in
stances only the week before. To
our mind, in the spring is the proper
time to publish the list of premiums,
and if the society desires to have
first class exhibits, and plenty of
them, there should be no delay in
preparing and laying before the
public, the premium list to be
awarded at the coming fair. Give
exhibitors time to prepare for the
event, and we feel confident the dis
plays brought out will more than
compensate for the little trouble in
preparing the list.

Tore up the Railroad Track

A locomotive of the Alpena &
Northern railroad was running up
the road Sunday morning, and when
piece of land claimed to be owned
by Arthur Heney, was reached, the
men on the engine found Heney at
work tearing up the rails, and had
three rail lengths Of the track al
ready torn up. The railroad men
put stop to further obstruction Of
the road and replaced the rails.
The land claimed by Heney is
near the city, and last year there
was a disagreement between the citi-
zen's committee and Heney in re-
gard to the price to be paid for the
right Of way across the land, and
after some difficulty both parties
decided to leave the question to
arbitration. A written agreement
was signed by both to abide by the
decision Of the arbitrators. Heney
chose A. G. Mcdonald; the COM
mittee chose F. w. Gilcbrist, and
the two selected Thomas Collins as
the third member. The arbitrators
examined the affair and gave a de-
cision in writing, to the effect that

Rapid Work.

There was lively work done load
ing vessels at the Widner cedar
yard Saturday. Friday afternoon
the propeller Sachem and consort
Sturgis, arrived at the cedar wharf
and about five o'clock the work of
loading the Sachem with railroad
ties began, although not many were
loaded that evening. Saturday the
work of loading the Sturgis, began,
and up to four o'clock in the after
noon $4,000 railway ties were on
board. Some 30 men were at work
placing the cedar on the Sturgis,
and 20 more were engaged slowing
the ties on the vessel. Two steam
elevators were employed in hosting
the cedar from the river on to the
Sachem, and at five o'clock 10000
railway ties were OH board of her.
The schooner j. G. Blaine was also
being loaded at the same time.
During the week four large YES
sells were loaded with cedar at that
place, whose combined tonnage
amounted to 1870. One, the
American Union, did not report
here. She carried posts and tele-
graph poles.
Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1894-05-02

one hundred dollars was a fair and
just recompense for land taken by
the railroad. The money was paid
over to w. L. Churchill.
w. B. Comstock holds the deed
of the land in question, but he had
given a land contract to Heney,
which title is now void, so we are
informed. as the provisions of the
contract were not complied with.
Sunday Heney took the matter in
his own hands, although the rail-
road had been in possession of the
right of way for over six months,
and had been running trains regular
ly over it. No information was
given the railroad men that the
track was to be torn up, and the
first they knew of it was when they
discovered Heney at work tearing
up the track.
For about five miles above the
place where the track was torn up
there is a grade, and if a log train
had been coming down the engineer
would not have been able to stop
his train in time to prevent a dis
aster.
Tearing up railroad track, especi-
ally where night trains are run,
seems to us to be a serious offense.
The affair was settled Monday;
Heney has an extension Of time,
and the railroad company has a
deed of the right of way.

Sunday night a number of men,
some armed with rifles, were station
ed on Heney's farm, by the railroad
company, to protect their property.
After waiting in vain for opposing
forces to appear, to while away the
monotony, two Of them became en-
gagged in a wordy warfare, one of
whom raised his rifle with the in
tention of shooting his fellow lab
orer, and but for the interference of
John Cappa, who grabbed the rifle
from the excited man, and now re-
tains it as trophy of war, would
have added another tragedy to AL
pena's list.
