IN CUSTODY.
Sheriff Hid Captures Two Men
Who Are Suspected Of
Robbery.

Two men giving their names as
Robert Fisher and Thomas Wilson
are confined in the county Jail
awaiting examination on the
charge of burglarizing the saloon
o. George E, Ibbottson, at Baraga,
early Saturday morning of last
week.
When Mr.. Ibbottson opened his
saloon on the morning in question
he discovered that the place had
been entered during the night by
means of prying open one of the
windows, and upon examination
found that two watches were miss
ing, as was also the money drawer,
which contained between So and So.
Later the money drawer was found
near the depot. The burglars had
also tried to effect an entrance into
the depot, but failed.
The same night the d., S. S. & A.
depot at this place was broken into
and about eighty pennies taken
from one of the cash drawer.
Sheriff John H. Hid was notified
and at once quietly proceeded to
g.ts upon the track of the guilty
party or parties.
Two rather suspicious looking
men had been seen around Baraga,
and also at L'Anse, but had made
their departure. Mr.. Hid went in
the direction of the copper country
Saturday, making inquiries along
the way. He ascertained that two
men had purchased their breakfast
at section house this side of
Chassell, paying for the same in
pennies. The following day he
went to Houghton, but was told
that the men had not been seen
there. The sheriff then started
down the track leading towards the
club house near Houghton, and
before long discovered the men
coming towards him. They were
placed under arrest and brought
to l. Anse and lodged in the county
jail. One of the men was armed
with a 3S-calibre revolver and each
had supply of cartridges.
Inc morning 1ollOwlng the ROB-
berry Mr.. Ibbottson found three
vest buttons on the window sill,
which had been scraped off from
the vest of one of the men while
scrambling through, and when the
sheriff had the men in his custody
he saw that three buttons were
Missing from the vest of one of
them, which, upon careful ex
animation proved to match COR
rectly.
The prisoners were arraigned
before magistrate Monday, and
the examination set for Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock At that
time, however, it was deemed ad-
visable and necessary to re-adiourn
the examination until next Monday
afternoon at ] o'clock. In default
of bail the prisoners were recon-
mitted to Jail.

RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS.
Calls for relief were Immediately

prompt and liberal response.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Aug. 27.-Fire
broke out in row of wooden build
ings on Water street this afternoon

twenty buildings in ruins. Among
the burned buildings are the follow
ing: Sault Ste. Marie National
Bank building, the Prenzlauer three
story building, postotfice and United
States custom office, Perry Hotel,
Chippewa House, Strahan machine
shop, Bell Telephone company and
the Minnesota steamship supply
store, besides fifteen smaller wooden
buildings, all of which are total
losses.
The News building, the Smith
block and the 500 Savings bank
block were all severely damaged by
both fire and water. The Western
Union Telegraph and the Western
Express companies moved out, but
their buildings barely escaped. They
are open for business again as usual.
| The loss is estimated at about S4O0,
600, about half covered by insurance.
A falling wall injured one man, and
his injuries may prove fatal. Every
thing was confusion here. The
