He told the mAr-hAl Be had been i9Gpst
onto By two or three men sho were
always trying 20 Whip him and that ks
had been sorsted in a roE IN house on
Pine street, near Fifth. The marshal IN

hoOse said that Nels had come there and

TOppela IL well known in police circles
and has been brought up many times Tor
being drunk and disorderly. Ia almost
every case bis vile paid the fine. IL IL
said that his vie il hard working
woman, who earns her living by washing
aud such work for families, and that
Topella, who is out Of work most Of the
time, spends all his money ia drink. He
will probably be sent over the road this
time, az the officers are becoming tired oil
giving him opportunities to reform.
Besides this little incident there was a
free-or-all fight going on most OF the
afternoon in the "rock- building" on
Sixth street, near the corner OF Pine.
The marshal hadn't much more than got
Topella sleeping soundly, when the pro-
prietor Of the 'rock-buildine" saloon
came rushing into the engine house after
him, Saying that somebody was getting
burt IN a fight in his saloon. The mar
shal went TO the place, but everything
was then quiet. He hadn't left but a few
minutes when the night went merrily on
once more and the marshal was again
sent for before patience had long ceased
TO be a virture and he decided TO let them
fight IL out, unless they made noise
enough TO disturb the neighbors
The marshal says that all these places
where they have bar.maids and accor-
dion music should be closed, for they
cause the officers no end of trouble and
some time there fights may end in muir
der.
cd nj. 90 a.,
that a man bad been stabbed IN saloon
fight In Laurium Sunday night, but
investigation showed that there was not
the slightest ground for the ruinor. Mar
shall Drapeau says that everything was
quiet and orderly In the village and the
proprietor Of the place where the affair IN
reported 20 have occurred was very
indignant at the charge.
This morning about 3 o'clock Officer
Stukel ran against man on the street
who gave bis name IA George Williams
and who said he didn't know where he
was going or what he was dong. The
officer thought the best place for him
wasin the cooler and accordingly he took
him in tow. This morning the man was
brought before Justice Curtis and ex-
planned the matter saying that he had
come up from Keweenaw county the day
before and did not know where to 90 for
the night. Williams was released on con
dition that he start out Immediately for
Keweenaw.
George Baiuk aud Mike Spehar were
arrested last night by Officer Stukel for
creating a noise and disturbance IN viola
ton OF the village ordinance. Bajuk
vas brought up before Justice Curtis this
morning and pleaded guilty to the
charge. The justice imposed 81 fine
which Bsjuk has not yet paid. He will
probably go to Houghton today to
serve twenty DAYS in the county Jail in
default Of paying the fine spehar will
be brought mp tonight.
