To the Editor of The Times
Sir-In your issue of the 9th instant
under the head OF police Court, you
state that two young men were fined $40
and costs for creating disturbance IN
the Richmond Theatre. one or THESE
young men was the sen OF poor WIDOW,
who had come to the rescue Of her son
with the moneY she had saved TO pay hef
rent (Which was then due), and when
amounted to about $5.50-not enough TO
pay the fine.
In you issue Of the eSth instant your
paper states that University students
were at the same place of amusement
rhe following night, and made Rome
howl" came near breaking up the
show" and had a good time general
IT," but no one seemsc to take offence
at their actions
II seems strange 10 the writer that
two boys should be dragged to the court
house and made to pay such exorbitant
fines while a crowd Of college boys can
come into the city and carry on in such
a diseraceful manner without being even
reprin anded. Because their circum-
stances in life are a little better than
the boys above mentioned, they are per
mitted 10 be a nuisance, and are called
Jolly students" etc. Why IS suck
partialitv shown between tho two class
es? Why r. not the law carried out
I'm both cases? Let Justice be shown.
As a reader Of your paper ! ask the
question. believing that YOU always cham
pion the cause OF fairness.

QUESTION aud Answer.
NEsToRIA, Mich. June IA. L

NEsToRIA, Mich. June IA, 1895.
Editor L'ANsE SENTINEL,
L'Anse. Mich.
Dear Sr-The question which
would like to put before the residents Of
this county is. Whether the county or
the state is responsible for any damage
which may arise from the fact that a
county road is marked out on the map
through this county, when in fact there
is none. A large party Of colonists
moving west came through by this
route. supposing there was road as
shown on the map but when they got
here they found no road west OF here
and had to turn around and q" by the
way Of Green Bay Wis, thereby put
ting them out of heir way at least 500
miles. They propose 20 sue tho county
!or thousand dollars damage. Tie
question is who will be responsible, the
county or the state? This Is the third
offense Of this kird that has happened
this spring. DO the people OF this coun-
ty propose to let this matter go along in
this manner when there are highway
taxes collected and no road 10 show for
their money. Please let us hear from
you In your next issue in regard 10 this
important matter. Yours truly,
EDWARD NICHOLS.
In reply we will state: First-Thsre
is no map which shows, or ever did
show,a public highway west Of Nestoria.
Allowing that some map, gotten pp by
one Of the many engaged in that line Of
business, did show such road. there
weuld be nothing legal. official, or bind
ing In any respect, or would In any
manner concern the state or cou nty a
particle more than the fact that a num-
ber of colonists were journeying blind
folded through this or any other portion
of the country. Second-there are no
county roads, neither is there county
tax for highway purposes. Ii highway
taxes have been levied and collected II
is township matter, and has nething
Third-lf the people have been paying
taxes on highway which does net
exist, they alone are to blame. Fourth
The fact that the party of colouists in
question were obliged TO return by the
way Of Green Bay, is matter 10 which
they alone are the losers. The only
damage we can see is doubtless to their
feelings. General maps are issued by
various people, bot there is no recourse
whereby person may recorer for aRy
error which may appear thereon.
