letter day for the usually quiet and
orderly village Of L'Anse, and for a
few moments there was "a hot time
in the old town, the like of which
never occurred before, and it is
hoped will never be repeated, but
experience often comes dear, and be-
fore the curtain falls on the final act,
at least the president of the village
aud the marshal will doubtless de-
termire that it would have been
wise had they looked before making
the leap,
The words in the poem, "We
Stood on the Bridge at Midnight, =
can now be changed to read: "We
stood on the Bridge over Meadow
Brook at $50 p. m."
1t was on account of this bridge
that tire row occurred. Many years
ago, tie bridge crossing the beauti-
full little brook which winds its way
through the forests, passing through
the center of the village and empty
ing into L Anse bay, was built by
the village, according to report.
The bridge is huge affair, cover
ing the entire width of the street
siXty-six feet with crooks aud turns
in addition, and it has often been
wondered at how the balance of the
village ever escaped being planked
over. This street, which is the
main thoroughfare of the village,
is also the original state road. For
years, it is understood, the village
claimed authority over the mass Of
timbers and planks, but within
recent years, when it became
evident chat the old structure was
nearing the end of its usefulness
and new one must take its place,
the claim was made that the bridge,
its wings, flaps, curves, loops and
all belonged to the township, and
that it must be rebuilt and here
after kept in repair by the town
ship.
The township officials were cog
infant of the wording of the statutes
on the question, and were willing
to build the regulation width of a
highway bridge over the brook,
and so informed the village council,
but refused to re-plank por-
tion OF the town and class it as a
bridge. The council, championed
by it's wise (2) president, NJ. j..
McCabe, was determined, and
passed a resolution to the effect
that the village would not rebuild
any portion of the structure.
The highway commissioner, by
order of the township board, then
went to work and constructed a
bridge, twenty feet in width, cross
ing the brook and directly in the
center OF the road. While the
work was going on, the village
fathers" held several sessions
and the wise president aired his
views freely in public places. Notices
were posted in three or four con-
spicuous places, by order of the
council and signed by the president,
stating that If any accident oc-
Cured on what they classed as
"the bridge, = the township OF
LAnse would be held liable for
damages.
When the bridge proper, twenty
feet in width, was completed by the
township, it was deemed necessary
by the board and the highway
commissioner, to place substantial
ratings on either side as a pro.

about twenty feet of the street (oI
fooring) on one side which is de-
cidedly unsafe.
When the president Of the village,
Michael ]. J.McCabe, learned that rail
ings would be placed on the bridge,
he was mad as hornet. Thursday
noon he overlook Thomas Chapel,
clerk of L'Anse township, on the
street, abused him and knocked him
down. McCabe was severely
censured for such brutal and
cowardly act, Mr.. Chapel unfor-
tunately being cripple.
The following day McCabe swore
that he would procure an Injunction
prohibiting the placing of the
ratings. He failed to do SO, doubt
less relying upon his pugilistic
ability to win his point. Saturday
afternoon the ratings were framed,
and when the carpenters were
ready to place them, McCabe called
Octave Sicotte, marshal of the
village, to the scene, and demanded
Of the marshal that he order the
men to stop work. The workmen
stopped, In a few moments Frank
WI Foote, supervisor OF the town
ship, came along and upon being
informed what had occurred, told
the men to resume their work. The
supervisor was promptly arrested
by the marshal, by order of McCabe.
The highway commissioner and
three carpenters were also ar
rested.
The supervisor then sent for the
township clerk, Thomas Chapel, and
also the writer, who is member of
the board by virtue of the Office of
justice of the peace. The latter
had hardly stepped upon the bridge
when McCabe assaulted him.
McCabe may thank his faithful
marshal and a deputy sheriff that
he escaped to safe distance before
being initiated into the mysteries
Of a sausage heap. The work OF
placing the rallings was resumed,
when the clerk and the writer
were arrested. In the marshal's
haste to obey the command of his
chief he arrested the supervisor q
second time. None of the arrested
persons were locked up. Those ar
rested, seven in all, demanded, in
the absence of warrant, to know
the cause of arrest, but they were
not informed. They then justly
concluded to "go ahead with their
work, and the ratings were soon
in place. Before the work was
finished, the president, marshal, and
most of the spectators had left the
scene.
The men who were arrested then
went TO their respective homes, and
it was not until Monday morning
about 10 O'Clock that they were
told by the marshal that they were
arrested for violating or
dinance No. o." whatever that is.
Several of those arrested asked If
they were going to he taken to Jail
or arraigned before q magistrate,
but the marshal confessed that he
did not know. McCabe, his advisor,
had taken train and gone into an
adjoining county. He remained
for two days.
Since McCabe's return he has
been decidedlyGquiet. Not word
has been said to those who were ar
rested. Perhaps he imagines that
the disgracefnl row, for which he
was responsible, will blow over,
bat he must not lose sight of the
fact that he caused the trumped up
arrest of seven citizens of the town,
four of whom are township officials,
aud were in the discharge of their
duty. The end is not yet.
