back, acting as Master of Ceremonies.
The high officials of the order and
many ladies were in carriages. The
line of march was from Third street up
Tower to Belknap, over to John and
down to the city hall park. where a
game of ball was soon arranged be-
tween mines from the Gitche Ounce
tribe, East end, and the akooijis, of
the West end, the East enders win

Death of an Old Friend.

We received word day or two ago
of the death of an old time friend and
neighbor, Judge } F. Winship of Win
nebago CITY, Mimi. Mr.. Winship has
not been we'll for the past month or
two, and had gotten as far as Minneap-
oils on his way to the head of the lakes
where he expected to visit his son
Fred and wife in Duluth and many
friends on this side of the bay, but he
was taken much worse, and upon the
advice of physicians he was taken to
the sanitarum at Hudson, this state,
where he would receive the best care
and medical attendance. about a week
ago, but it is evident that his case was
hopeless. The cause of his death is not
given but we understand the trouble
was in the nature of collapse and gem
eral break down of the system. Prob
ably no man i'll southern Minnesota
numbered more friends than Mr.. Win
ship, and his death will be universally
mOurned. He leaves a wife and three
children, Fred w. of Duluth, Mrs. Lena
Moorehouse of Minneapolis, and Louis,
student at Hamline University. We
extend the sympathy ola host of Su-
perior people to the bereaved family.

A Narrow Escape.

Last Friday afternoon DIR. Common had
VIM. Kennedy, l.. A. Erhart and NJ.
ii. Lynch out for drive in one of Shat
tuck x Ilislop's rubber-tired drags Be-
sides these gentlemen, all of whom are
large men, the driver WAS also in the
rig, and as they swung round the cor
ner Of Winter street and Tower avenue
the rubber tires stuck to the pavement,
refusing to give, ard one wheel col
lapsed as if made of paper. All were
thrown with considerable force to the
ground, but DR.. Common and Mr.. Ken
nedy were the only ones injured. The
Doctor landed on his left side and has
been pretty lame ever since, his arm
and leg being very badly bruised.
The many friends of these popular
men have been trying to figure out how
they escaped with their lives, ard have
decided that a kind and merciful provi-
dence must have had something to do
with it.
