The weather is pretty good now.
thank you, and those who have been
sweltering under the scorching rays
of the awfullv hot sun are again en-
ioying the renowned salubrious
breezes of fair Superior shores.
However, further south, the people
are still sweltering.
Judge Warden is enjoying a visit
from f. w. Burton and son, of
Calinville. Illinois. Mr.. Burton and
Judge Warden were admitted to
practice at the same time at Mount
Vernon, Illinois, in 1879. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Burton and his
son will spend most of the summer
here and will take advantage of the
opportunity to do considerable hunt
ing and fishing.
The street lamps of the electric
light company were missed for three
nights last week, the reason being
that the engineer, Nels Hanson had
been overcome by the heat one hot
night, and in consequence the boilers
were allowed to run dry, and they
had to be repaired before the arc
light service could be furnished.
Frank Belanski, an employ in one
of A. A. Bigelow & Company S
camps, was accidently killed Mon
day. He was at work in the woods,
and in some manner was crushed by
tree which he had cut. He was
badly cut and bruised about the
head, and his skull was broken, his
lower limbs also being broken. The
unfortunate was a young man, and
was unmarried. His remains were
brought to this city and prepared
for burial, and the intrement took
place Tuesday forenoon.
In fight out on the Bigelow line
last week Fred Mccormick exper-
fenced some very hard usage at the
hands of Ed McManus. 1t appears
that Mccormick had threshed Alex
Piero, and then turned his atten-
tions to McManus. The latter met
his antagonist with a heavy iron,
with which he dealt a heavy blow,
and Mccormick bit the dust. The
injured man tried three times to
arise, but was unable to renew the
combat. He was taken to the hos
pital at Ashland for the purpose of
undergoing repairs. 1t is said by
those present that McManus acted
wholly in self defence.
A dispatch from Cumberland to
the daily papers says thay Harry L.
Wagner, the forger, who secured all
kinds of money on checks to which he
had attached the name of Frank
Drummond, has escaped from the
Barron county Jail. Wagner work
ed large number of towns along
the Omaha line, and experienced no
trouble in gathering in several hun
dred dollars. He was captured by
Sheriff Johnson, of Barron in ST.
Paul June 18th, after long search.
The dispatch from Barron county
also says that there is feeling that
there is something wrong with
the sheriff's Office, as this is the
third time prisoner has escaped
from the the jail this year.
