Mr.. Lawton In the Field.

A letter from Mr.. C. d. Lawton was
most unexpectedly received az the News
office this morning announcing that sew
eral very influential men. friends OF the
governor.elect had commended him for
the appointment of commissioner. Be-
lieying as the News does, and as already
stated, that Mr.. Lawton il so pre-emi-
nently qualified for the position, it would
ike TO see HIM re-appointed, that is. if
there is to be any changes.
The News does not believe in appoint
ing person to the office whose former
adyocations orstudies hayenot fitted him
for it, but would rather see the Office aboI-
ished. II it is to be OF any public service,
it should be filed by just such a man as
Mr.. Lawton.

Another of Us Passes the Divide.

Roland II. Bresiord, one perhaps of the
best known men in the Upper Peninsula
died at the residence of his step-daughter,
Mrs. E F. Douglass, in West Houghton,
this afternoon at 1890 o'clock.
Mr. Brelslord was born in Philadelphia
on the 18th of May, 1880. He came to
the Lakes in 1851 to take the position of
clerk at the Ridge mine he was aft err
wards engaged in the dock business at
Ontonagon. He removed to Hancock in
1861 and was engaged in the store Of
Leopold & Austrian as clerk, where he re-
manned for about year; be afterwards
had charge OF the dock and forwarding
business OF j. A. Close & Co. for nine
year,; he then accepted the position az
agent at Hancock for the Chicago line of
boats, filling at the same time the posi-
ton OF collector OF United States customs.
Mr.. Brelsford was always a pronounced
democrat and was elected on that partv's
ticket county clerk and register of deeds
Tor Houghton county, and held that posi-
ton for four years, from 1873 to 1877.
Shortly after leaving the county clerks
office he was appointed station agent at
Hancock for the Mineral Range and after
wards acted as conductor, eventually
being promoted TO the position of traffic
agent and assistant superintendent: in

Chicago house.
He leaves behind him a widow. who
many years ago lost her sight, and two

The Manner in Which
Some Saloons Are
Run.
Women Are Now Employed
Selling beer 60 Draw Trade-They
Also Dance with Customers
Other News.

Complaints have reached the News of,
fee as to the manner some OF the saloons
are run in this town. 1t is stated that
girls are hanging round all day and part
OF the night at these places, whose APP
parent business is to sling beer and dance
with the customers. 1t is even reported
that girls, when business is slack, may be
seen standing at the door OF a certain sa-
loon in Front street. and who beckon to
passers-by to come In. 1t is publicly
limited at that some ~ these beer singers
are not above reproach, and indeed far
from il but then, of course. it is much
easier TO accuse person of immortality
than to prove it, besides, because circum-
stances may have driven girl to beer
singing, it does not necessarily prove she
is immoral. There is considerable talk
just now OF n covered hack running from |
one OF these saloons to another with |
some OF the beer singers and the patrons |
of their saloons; we are also informed
that President Vivian has been waited
on and asked to put a stop to these go
ings on, which are becoming not only a
disgrace, but nuisance to the people liy-
ing in the neighborhood of these places
and, in fact, TO the public generally.
Oi course, it is no use laying com
plant against these people unless the nee
essary evidence to convict them is forth
coming at the proper time 1t would
look, however, that il the marshal is the ;
owner OF any detective ability he might
use it to advantage and so procure such
evidence as would soon cause the closing

A Spectator Squares Himself With His
Lawyer Creditor.

| Lawyer
The lawyer had won an important
case for the man. He had dabbled in
stocks of one kind and another. and,
hard luck having overtaken him, he had
bolstered up his vanishing fortunes with
$50, 900 Of other peoples money.
But the other people had troubles OF
their own. They had wants that needed
catering TO, and when they found that
\ the dealer in stocks had invested their
means of subsistence in an enterprise
that would benefit no one but himself
they arose with howl of righteous in
dignation and brought suit for dam.

That was where the lawyer had his
chance. He knew the man was guilty,
and he told him SO. But for all that he
cleared him. He charged pretty big
fee, 1000 being conservative estimate
of the value of his services. The man
paid him So, 500 in cash and promised
to give him the other $500 month or
two later. That was more than three
years ago. The lawyer patiently waited
on his client for year, and then he put
the matter in the hands of a collector
In the course Of two years the collector
gathered in $500, and then, as his salary
was more than eating up the amount
collected, the lawyer took the case from
his hands and gave it to the office boy. |

Jimmie's eyes snapped, and he went
to work. He labored diligently for three
months. Monday morning at i o'clock
he would go into the Office and present
his employers claim, and so run the
gamut of the other five working days,
and then repeat the procedure the sue

it at first and threatened to throw the
boy out of the office, but he finally
thought better of it and contented him.
