driving along the road 10 saunders when
hc was obliged To get out Of the sleigh
TO emove a small tree that was lying
across the road. Bennane, who was
watching on the side Of the road, rushed
upon Linn striking him over the head
with il club Knocking him scnselcss
lie then went through the peddlers poe
kets taking $1,000 in money. The
prddlcr returned to Iron River and
started Deputy Sheriff Smart after the
young bnndit. Mr.. Smart went to the
Bennanc homestead mt Saunders and
was told that Willie WINS not at home.

urday he escaped from the farm aud
walked across the county 90 Iron River
by way OF the county road. He was
lightly clad and il is "a wonder that he
did not freeze TO death on the way. He
turned up at the Boyington house late
in the evening. Mr.. Boyington noticed
that the man acted strangely and
warned his son, Phil, who later In the
evening took him up stairs and put hun
TO bed. He slept so late next morning
that Mr.. Boyington thought something
was wrong and started to awake the
sleeper when he met Hill coming down
the STAIRS. He was given a breakfast
and stayed about the hotel until late in
the evening when, ~disregarding the in
functions OF several OF the guests not 10
venture out, he started off. The next
heard OF him was at Stager where he
showed up at the depot about nine
o'clock in the morning. The agent took
him into the depot and got him 20 re-

CRYSTAL FALLS, Men FEB 10, 30.
EDlToR DIAMOND DRML:-
A the village election j. approaching,
il occurs to me that our citizens and
taxpayers ought to give it a very
serious consideration. There ARE things
which should have been done aud must
be done IN the near future, that have, IN
the past few years. been entirely left to
go as though tkey were OF little consc-
qucnce. The first condition that !
would mention Is hat OF our water
works. They should never have been
placed where they are but, since We have
them there, let Us make the best 81 the
situation. Our city authorities have
done nothing for year 10 improve the
w~aterworks. The reseI yoir * nothing
but a filthy pond taking in an
the surface drainage. During the hot
season COWS, horses and dogs stand and
bnthe in il. adding to the filth and nasti.
ness and the bottom has washed fall oi
this slime and filth. Our city officers
have been for the last three or iour
ycnrs shanefully ncglcctiul, first, III not
putting q fence around the pond to keep
the animals out and, second, in not
seeing to it hat the bottom ~ properly
cleaned out aud Il dam kept up To hold
more water.
Here is the point ! desire to impress
most upon the cit zcns aud voters OF
this village in the coming contest, first,
let us drop all sentiment and party
lines aud select mcn that we Know will
do everything fair and honorable to
bring this village out OF It's present con
dition. Let us select men who arc free
10 work for the interest Of nll aud not
for individual gain. Avoid o%lccting those
who have an AK to grind, such AZ Il
wood contract or a zeal IN village orders
or some other scheme az n private nature
To- the dotriment OF the community
Let everything for the village bc bought
by open competition ia the,markct. All
should have an equal chance. Let M
elect these men with the distinct under
standing that putting the watcrworks in
good shape il to bc the first duty.
There are plenty OF good men in our
community who have the qualifications
and are free from the entauglcmcnts o.
which | have alluded. But W. shouli
not stop after e%lcctiug such men; wc
should give them our support after that
and encourage them To do their duty.
One other thing | would like To men.

OF the village council not published?
The county and township proceedings

A Collage Prank.

Not long ago one of the professors of
Princeton. whose recitations were held
the first thing in the morning. admon-
ished the students in his division to- cor.
rect the fault of rardiness. --zi,aeeh he
claimed was increasing in lamentable
manner, and when one of the students ex-
p,ained that they ali studied so late al
night they were apt to- overSleep in the
morning he kindly advised them 10 Sc
cure alarm clocks. which he said were
one of the most valuable and useful Of
inventions.
The next day nearly every student in
alarm clock in his pocket. which by pa
tient and united efforts were set so that
one would go off promptly at every sue
ceSsive minute of the hour. The effect
can be imagined.
Shortly after the first student was
called 10 recite one of the clocks in the
pocket of boy "a the other end of the
room Went off with a terrible clamor,
and before it had finished a second in an
other part of the room made even loud
er racket. There was brief interval
which the professor utilized to call up an
other student, but the latter was scarcely
on his feet before the third clock went
off. The performance was continued for
sor. who had a keen sense of humor, re-
cognized the situati and cut short the
fun by. terminating the recitation.
The boys explained that they had fol-
lowed his advice and secured alarm
clocks which they We're carrying around
with them because thew were likely TO
fall aS.eep at most any time.

The work of scrapins the snow from he
ice fields, which has gone merrily on
since Monday morning. was finished
Wednesday noon. and all are again wait
ing-the ice men for the ice to thicken
and the laborers, for more snow Wednes-
day night there were 10 miles of ice fields
cleared from dhe Consolida ted's field at
Rich's to Haley's below South Gardiner.
On the west side of the island scrapinS
was going on at the Richmond wharf
houses, at Hodges the Sagadahocs and
at Clark & Chaplins.
The ice where the first freeze was
broken up has gained slightly in thick
ness, and some little work has been done
upon il.
W. D. Haley reports that he was over
his fields Wednesday, and found no ice
less than inches. and some Of IL was II
inches. With good weather this means
opening UP pretty soon. All along the
river the average is s and . inches.
The Consolidated Ice Co. have finished
their new elevator at the Rich place. and
