Some people are too darned mean, for
anything. Two New York farmers who
were buncoed by widow actually had
her arrested. Now everybody knows
widows have the inaienable right to

A carriboo was cited this morning
about two miles out on the lake; on the
float ice that was being driven up the
lake by the northeast wind. He could
plainly be seen trotting back and forth
: on the ice and jumping from one cake to
another, every now and then gowing
n down between the cakes into the water
At the time of going to press he was still
: in sight but had drifted about six miles
west.
1t is with much sorrow that we record
the death OF our townsman Geo. Nor
rison which ACQUIRED at Fort William on
the 9th ult Mr.. Morrison went to Fort
William about six weeks ago to visit his
mother and sister who reside at that
place. He contracted bad cold which
developed into pneumonia and he died
after an illness of but two days. Deceas-
ed was young man about 26 years of
.sage, and was highly respected by all who
knew him. He leaves wife and child
and three brothers in Grand Marais who
have the sincere sympathy of the entire
community.
The schooner II. N Emile is having
q hard time. Yesterday it was annou-
need that Fl. E. Redmyer had libelled
the schooner for $4S7 for services per-
formed for it's owner, his father.
Yesterday afternoon judge Moer filed
findings an the mortgage foreclosure
case of Eugene La Chance against 81. J.
Redmyer, finding that $40 was due on
the mortgage, and that it was a lien on
the schooner. The Emile is the vessel
that was confscated last summer by the
astute custom officials on suspicion of
opium smuggling.-Duluth Herald.
Up at Biwabik they can't get laborers
enough to supply the demand; but what
they need mostly, they say, is good men
who will settle down there and make it
thor home. If they will give such the
preference they will get plenty OF men
to settle down and make it their home.
But it has not always been the expert
ence OF laboring mon that the one with
a family and home to support is half
80 certain of protection as he is that he
must pay protection to home indus
tries. Maybe Biwabik employers are
built on broader principles. Maybe it
would pay q few industrious laboring
mon to take up their residence there

Today the little steam ferry Oden
commences it's seasons work of carrying
passengers from Rice's Point to Tower
Bay slip.
The ice in the bay now practically af-
fords no resistance to vessels and open
water could be reached in very short
time. Yesterday afternoon Capt.
Inman with a small party of
friends went out in the lake and easily
penetrated the ice to point half mile
beyond the Endion pumping station.
The high winds are breaking off great
cakes from the ice field and navigation
can open as soon as desired or neces-
sary. Yesterday, the Record found the
ice not over ten inches in thickness at
any point.-Duluth Herald of 9th ult.
