addition to the destruction of 100000
worth of property two lives were lost.
When the fire had nearly burned out
the body OF an unknown man was dis
covered in one of the red-hot lSilns.
Evidently he had crawIed in to sleep
and was literally baked. Francis Har-
rison, nightwatchman, was also burned
to death. An attempt to burn another

The Central Lumber Co. S plant near
Milwaukee was swept by one of the
fercest fires in the history OF the Sagi-
nav valley. The mill property was in
nowise injured, but the ~, 600, 900 feet of
lumber piled in the yards, the tramways
and docks were food for the flames.
-Four houses. the homes OF employees,
were also destroyed will all of their
contents. There were also burned n
barn. four drill houses and the big
lumber docks, entailing loss Of
fully Sl75,O00. 1t was feared that the
sawmill and salt block. which IS also
operated by the company, would be
burned but after several hours hard
fighting the fremen succeeded in saw
ing them. The fire was undoubtedly
of incendiary origin as three men were
seen running away from the mill just
as the flames blazed up. Saginaw and
Bay CITY were called on for aid and the
firemen from these places responded as
quickly us possible. Three fire tugs
were sent up the river as close as pos
sible to the fire and did excellent work
i'm saving the saw mill and salt block.
The burned lumber covered 20 acres
and was the choicest to be found in
the valley. The mill. which employed
$50 men, had not been in operation
since September, but was to have been
started up soon. The stockholders of
the company are: Col. A. 7. Bliss, Gen.
Alger. A. j. Linton, A. L. Cook and
John Quinn.

The population of France now
amounts to $685. 1863 persons. as COM
pared with 3S,095, $50 at the last census
(189D. This very slight increase is al
most entirely due to the increase OF
the urban centers. Twenty-four de-
partments show an increase and sixty
three departments a diminution Of the
population; but there are cases where
there is a falling off, taking the de-
partment as a whole. while the num-

In five years there has only been an
increase in the population of France Of

CHLoRoFORMED THE DOG.



People living in the vicinity Of Clay
mont are complaining OF tho holiness
of chicken thieves, who recently have
been carrying on their depredations
with high hand. A few nights ago
the chicken yard Of Mrs William 7.
Lodge was entered, and after the watch
dog had been chloroformed, the locks
on the chicken houses were broken
and the miscroants entered and stole
20 valuable fowls.
Nothing was heard Of the marauders
until the next morning, when the dog
was found lying unconscious in the
chicken yard and the doors were found
open. An investigation showed that
the locks had been broken and the
place had been ransacked.
The dog was in such bad condition
that it was necessary to Kill it.
Other similar cases have been re-
ported recently and the residents in
the vicinity have decided to keep close
watch at night, and should thieves he
detected they will not fare very we'll.
Highwaymen have also been in the
vicinity recently, but the authorities
have been unable TO detect anybody in
the act of committing crime. 1t is
supposed that the highwaymen are
tramps who pass that way Shile walk
ing along the railroad, but it is quite
likely that tho chicken thieves do not
live very far away.
