For few days past there have been
reports in circulation to the effect that
Bay City deputy sheriffs have been in the
habit of going to the outskirts of the city
at night and arresting men sleeping in
sheds and box cars, and that, they rail
roaded them through Justice Oldheld's
court to the county Jail for the purpose OF
getting the fees accompanying such cases.
Deputy Hatch, turnkey at the jail, says
that within ten days six men have been
caught outside Of the ciey and have been
tried in Justice Oldfeld's court, but that
only one of the men has been sent to jail
That man was Charles Vent and he was
given ten days. Hatch says that COM
plants have been made by property hold
ers that the Migrants congregate about
their property and they fear some dam
age will be done. Justice Oldheld says
that all Migrants brought before him were
tried in the day time and not ut night, as
reports have it.

Fresh cbicora wreckace found.

Near the shore five miles south Of st.
Joseph large amount Of Chicora wreck
age has been found. Among this Is a
piece thirty by eight feet from her middle
deck, gangway, fire extinguisher with
the name Chicora on it, and considerable
other wreckage There was nothing but
a dead sea coming from the southwest
and it is thought the wreckage could not
have travelled far. Wreckage would come
to the top just as soon as it was torn
loose, and this is fresh wreckage, as the
spikes were freshly torn from the vessel.
1t may yet transpire that the people who
said they heard the Chicora's whistle
southwest of that city in that terrible
night did not draw on their imaginations.

IRON IN LABRADOR.
Vast Riches Said to Exist in That
Little known Land.

Little known Land.
The existence Of one Of the greatest
known deposits of iron ore and the fact
that the larger portion Of the supposed
Labrador peninsula Is in reality an island,
are among the latest discoveries Of A. p.
Low, of the Dominion Geological Survey.
Mr.. Lows explorations were made In that
part Of central Labrador In which the
rivers Peribonca, Ontarde, Moniconaga gan,
and the Big river OF Hudson Bay take
their rise.
The Manicongan river was assembled
for 200 miles from its mouth to Lake
Mochalagan. Thence ii was found impos-
sible for long distance to follow the
stream, on account Of its rapid character
and the high, rocky banks, which pre-
clude portaging. For over six miles the
river descends between almost vertical
walls in n continuous heavy rnpid. The
first portage of mile and a half has u
rise of over 600 feet.
The deposit OF iron ore reported by
Mr.. Low is between the hcadwaters of
Ontarde and Maniconagan rivers. The
ore occurs in a gneiss composed OF quartz,
feldspar and magnetic, and according
to the proportion of magnetic present
grades from ferruginous gness into an
almost pure iron ore of high grade. This
bed, in great thickness, can be traced
along the strike of the rocks for upward
of thirty miles. and there is an immense
mountain of almost pure metal, called by
the Indians the ''shinnng mountain" be-
cause of the glistening of the ore faces In
the sun, when they present most daz-
cling appearance.
The provincial government Is expected
Mt once to send mining experts to report
upon the deposit, but little can be done
toward developing II until railway 10

GERMANY's RAPID GROWTH.


Population IL Aga. 500. an Increase

Germany takes census Of population

creased more rapidly than in any five
year period since the foundation OF the
empire, being 81, pa, SOB last December,
an increase of 2,816, OPT, or LA per cent
per year. These figures ana other items
of interest culled from the census tables
are furnished the Department Of State
by United ST ties Commercial Agent
Thomas Moore Mt Weimar, and he says
that striking illustration Of the increase
In population is afforded by comparison
with the French census, which shows that
the increase Of population in France in
the same fve-year period was but $4,000.

raigned in the Port Huron police court on

tered by the court. On the evening Of

tics. Hot words passed between the two
men, and Burns said he could whip kett-
Ter. During the scufiie n pencil, supposed

to fight. He does not know whether the
pencil was In his or Burns pocket.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-

upon Senator Carriers proposed amend
ment to the general deficiency bill pro-

Canadian authorities have agreed twice

Trade says: las the season advances

cate that on the whole the prevalent feel
ing is that the gain is less than there was
reason to expect While retail trade has
been active enough to materially lessen
stocks and obligations and thus to pre-
vent a great many threatened embarrass-

business to mills or factories to prevent
decrease of untitled orders and closing Of
some works. Substantially the same

REBUILDING CRIPPLE CREEK.
Portable Houses Being Rapidly Placed
on the Fire-Scarrcd Lots.

The most noticeable facts IN connec-
ton with the Cripple Greek situation are
that the relief committee has super
abundance of supplies to meet the needs
of the homeless, and that the hustling bus
mess men of the town have already begun
in earnest to rebuild the blocks that were
destroyed in the last big blaze. Six tour
list cars were hauled In from Florence
Thursday, and under the 1 cent mile
agreement which the local railroad men
have entered into good many people left
Friday. They only go temporarily, how
ever, for scarcely a man or woman can be
found who does not think that the expe--
riences Of Chicago will be repeated in
Cripple Greek, and that within year the
city will be bigger and better than ever.

Federal and Local Authorities Clash

A peculiar conflict Of authority took
place Mt South Haven when a deputy
United States revenue collector attempted
to sell cask of brandy seized by the
Government for non-payment of the rev.
enue tax. As the deputy was about to
commence the sale he was forbidden by
the village authorities on the ground that
the local option law is in force in Van
Buren, County, and the sale Of liquor Is
thereby prohibited by anyone within its
limits. The Government official went to
district headquarters for legal advice and
on returning to South Haven knocked in
the head of the brandy cask and declared
the sale off.

KICKING ON THE SUGAR CUT.
The Wholesale GrOcers' Association
Looking Into the Matter.

The Wholesale GroceCs Association is
considering a cut in the price of granula-
ted sugar by the retail grocers of the
city. The big sugar trust, as recently an
nounced, fixes the price not only at which
sugars must be bought and sold by the
wholesale grocer, but by the retail dealers
as well.
The rules of the trust strictly prohibit
cutting in prices. For some unexplained
reason the retail grocers have been carry
ing on a little war in sugar rates on their
own account for the last several days
one grocery house is said to have adver-
tised graduated sugar. which cost 66S
cents per pound, at eighteen pounds for a
dollar. When the other grocers heard of it
they followed suit.
The rule of the sugar trust is 10 forbid
its AGENTS to sell to parties who refuse to
abide by the rates fixed by the trust and
this rule may be enforced here if the re-
tail grocers do not stop their foolishness.
As the trust absolutely controls the sugar
market the merchant who refused to come
to terms when ordered would soon have no
sugar in stock. In the meanwhile the con-
sumer is getting the benefit of the fight.
