Pet Dog Chews Up 800.

Calumet, Mich, April 12.-Andrew
Johnson, of Laurium, owns a pet dog
that he wishes some one else had just
about this stage of the game. The other
night Johnson went home with a roll of
bills in his pocket, amounting to some
thing like $780, In taking off his trousers
to go to bed the bills dropped out of his
pocket and during the night the dog
wandered into the room and began
chewing the bills. When Johnson got
out of bed in the morning he saw his
500 strewn about the carpet in such
small bits that ii will be impossible to
put them together again or to get their
duplicate.

There is no man who understands the

Roland Morrill,, who has travelled over
a large portion of the peach-growing
sections since the big freeze. and ne
declares that half the peaches shipped
in the state will be sent out from Ben
ton Harbor and st. Joseph. The trees
along the lake shore from Stevensviile
to Coloma and several miles back are
In excellent shape, and the crop will
surprise those who are looking for a
small crop in this section Morrill, says
the crop about South Haven, only TWEEN
ty-six miles north on the lake shore,
will be so small that 1t Is not worth
while to consider.
The only place in the state outside
the Benton Harbor district where there
will be any peaches is in the eastern
part OF Michigan in the Detroit
region. Any kind of peaches that are
reasonably good for canning will be
worth $3.50 per bushel this year. Fancy
peaches will be way up. Morrill, says
this locality will have the inside track
on the peach business for several years.

while three-fourths Of all the trees in

les cannot furnish enough trees to re-
place all those that were killed this
year.

by Deputy Joe Mullen and several citi-

into the store, and Stevens emptied his
revolver at his assailants from behind

the door continued the fire.

to a stairway in the rear Of the store.
He fell piecred by six bullets before he
had gone ten feet. One of the bullets

were of a minor nature. The firing

Meanwhile the riot was raging in the
street. AS soon as the first shots had
been fired the whistle of the electric
light plant was blown as a signal for
the citizens-the majority of whom had
long ago been sworn as deputies-to
turn out armed and ready to fight. At
the same time the miners of Pana and
