A sensation was caused at Sault Ste.

and Mrs. Clarence Van Lew on the
charge OF theft preferred by Prenzlauer
Bros, in whose employ Van Lew has
been for over ten years. Mrs. Van Lew
also occasionally worked in the store.
Both have been prominent in society.

suspicion rested upon them. Their nome
was searched and over 500 worth al
goods was found. Their populations
will reach up in the hundreds Both
pleaded guilty and they were each fined
500 and costs.
The mills OF the Diamond Match com
pany at Ontonagon have an annual
capacity OF over so, 100000 feet, and AS
the available white pine in this region IL
not estimated ut over 100000, 900 feet,
ii can be easily seen that unless logs are
towed from the north shore the mills will
have to be closed down within period
Of four or five years. IL is said the
match people will adopt the latter
course. The finest dry kilns in the world
arc owned by the company there, and a
big box factory goes with the plant.

on account Of tho dull times. Now the
work is being pushed with yigor, and n
smooth road bed will soon extend from
Menomince northward on this popular
line. Democrat.
