The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1897-08-14

| Thomas Ireland, one of the historic
characters of Southern Minnesota, is
! dead, aged eightvfve years. He re-
| sided at Lake Shetek in August, 1862
at the time of the Indian massacre.
| When the Sioux had surprised the set
! tiers by hostile acts and had killed two
! of the men, the remainder of the settle
ment resolved to start for New Tim.
| After travelin. two miles they were at
| tackled by the Indians and Mr.. Ireland
was one of the five wounded men who
! were left in the grass, where they had
| crawled to die of their wounds. His
wife and two children had been killed
and he was himself shot eight times,
| the balls passing through his body, in
| all making eighteen holes, as one bullet
passed through both legs. He could
scarcely move and gave up and awaited
| death to relieve his sufferings. Encour-
| aged by the example of a twelve year
| old boy making for the settlement with
a babe, he finally started teebly and
alone on the long journey to the nearest
| settlement and on the route encoun-
tered others, who assisted him, and
after struggling along for fifteen days he
reached New Tim. Occasional rains
washed his wounds, he subsequently,
recovered and regained vigorous health.
He was man Of remarkable endurance
and great personal courage.

Berry and Mr.. VIII Ribenack Is an
nounccd, and the wedding, we believe
will take place in January at the brides
home in st. Paul. Miss Berry is one of
public schools ever had, and has each
year been re-ensagcd, and we regret
that she will not be here the coming
year, but congratulate Mr.. Ribenack
upon his excellent choice. Mr. Riben-
ack, who was for long time employed
in one of our city banks, has recently
accepted position in Milwaukee, thus
We shall lose both ofthese popular young
people. We wish them success and
perfect happiness, however, no matter
where their lots may be cast.
Mr.. Wan. Ogilvie left Thursday for
Montreal, as delegate from Clan Cam
erOn, to the national convention Of the
Royal clans which will convene in that
city on the 18th. Several Scotchrnen
from Duluth will attend and the route
will he over the South Shore road to
70 Sarrlt l,,E
Montreal. In the United States there
are four hundred organized clans and
from nearly all Of them one delegate,
and from many two, Will be sent, so
that the city will have the appearance
Of being taken by the Scotch for a day
or so at least.
We understand that Mrs. Robbie has
foT some time been studying with Mrs.
Strickland to perfect herself in the mas.
sage art, and will, now that Mrs. Strick-
land is away take charge Ct her patients
and Will soon open bath rooms where
persons can 90 for treatment, and as
long as rooms hold out she will be glad
to take boarders. We believe there
are a great many visitors in our city
who will be glad to avail themselves of
the opportunity thus afforded them for
treatment. We wish Mrs. Robbie sue
cess in this new undertaking.

YOU, | say unto a!l-watch. Chautau-
