sands of pleasure-seekers at Gull lake
Sunday were startled just as lake
steamer was approaching the shore to
see woman plunge over the side of the
boat into the water. In the excite
ment they did not notice that small
dog, which had been carried In her
arms, had leaped out as the boat ap-
preached the land, and the woman in
her excitement had followed. A man,
who afterward turned out to be her
husband, shouted: Save the dogw and
dived in; bringing the canine up from
the tow which threatened to suck it
under the boat. - =
The woman was fioundering around
in her clothes, and came neaf drown
ing, but was rescued by those on shore.
There was great Indignation at the
mans apparent Indifference to his
wife, but she seemed to think it was
all right. The man said that his
strange act was dictated by sentiment.
They had lost little child, who had
been fopd of the dog, and both his
wife and himself thought of the ami
NAL as II it were something human.

Michigan News Notes.

South Haven, Mich, Aug. ga
strange sight was seen in the eastern
Sky at 2:45 o'clock Saturday morning.
Something like dazzling star of very
unusual size seemed to slowly rise
from the horizon. But 1t was not a
star. 1t glowed and shimmered more
like yellow ball of fire, giving forth
a peculiar white light almost equal to
the glow from full moon. The stars
paled before its strange radiance. The
night was warm, and the air seeming
ly charged with electricity. Distant
lightning flashes were to be seen on all
sides.
Disappears Behind Cloud.
Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the
fire ball crept up into the sky. There
was no side motion. In fact, 1t hardly
seemed to move at all. Yet in FIVE
minues 1t had plainly risen, and had
increased in size alarmingly. 1t seemed
to be speeding straight toward the
earth. In two minutes more it disap-
peared behind dense cloud and was
seen no more; but distinct white
glow fingered on the horizon for sew
eral moments longer. At least two
wideawake, sane people witnessed this
peculiar phenomenon. They are not
superstitious. They know what or
binary stars and meteors look like.
Their statements are to be relied ON.
