An Exciting Time at Hudson.

One of the most exciting scenes that
has ever taken place In Hudson was
witnessed there on the afternoon of
March 18th when four alleged
safe blowers who robbed a West
Toledo postoffice on the 9th, stepped
off the train from the east. City Mar
shall Chas, Atkinson attempted to ar
rest them and a desperate fight fol-
lowed, in which about so shots were
exchanged by officers and burglars.
One of the burglars was held up by
Theo Atkinson near the depot and
was arrested, while the other three es-
capped, with the officers in hot pursuit.
About two miles from the city another
of the robbers was captured after a
hard fight, and another was overpow-
cred at Posey lake, four miles north
east The fourth man made his es-
cape.

MAY Have AIIPerished.

Search of the ruins of the Noyes-
Norman factory fire. at ST. Joseph,
which was totally destroyed on
theh 18th inst resulted in the
finding of but two bodies. which have
been identified. They are Miss Nora
Bates and Louise Blondeau. A portion
of another body, believed to be that of
woman, was found, but there is no
way to identify the victim. Consider
able difficulty was experienced in
getting at the bodies 1t was
sufficiently to begin work. 1t has been
learned that there was but one fire es-
cape from the seventh floor of the
building and at least % girls were on
this floor. One of the girls who says
she was the last to leave this floor says
there were probably five or six other
girls left behind when she went down
the fire escape and she thinks all per-
ished. The fire had been burning Is
minutes before the alarm to the girls
on the top floor was given. Excuse is
made on the grounds that the employees
expected to put out the flames and gave
the alarm when they discovered they
could not succeed.

no way disqualified to perform such
services and was at all times, during
the period in which they were rem

There were 3, l45 deaths reported TO
the secretary of state as having oc-
Cured in Michigan in February. This
number is less than the number re-
turned for January, but owing to the
shortness of the month, the death rate
per 1000 population increased from
1877 to 17.7. There were Az more
deaths in February, 1901, than in Feb

considerable increase in the number of

large an extent There was one death

by myself, he travelled over the entire line,
much of it on foot, part by carriage and
partly by boat

finest timber in the state, enough to keep
the freight capacity of the road busy for a
term of SO years. At the Port Angeles
terminus there is one of the finest harbors

ing fleets of the lower Sound. Sailing
ships by putting into Port Angeles from
the straits and open ocean, can save two
days in time in fresh fish shipments over
Seattle and Tacoma, which is an impor-
tant item.

President Gushing of the Port Angeles is
a retired manufacturer of shoes, who was
engaged in the business for quarter of a
century in the New England states. He
had always been closely associated with
railroads and two years ago one of his
friends induced him to make a pleasure
trip to Port Angeles while the friend looked
over prospective railroad investment.
Arriving on the ground Mr. Cushing be-
came at once impressed with the wonder
full resources of the state tributary to the
projected line and became interested in
the project financially. For two years he
has been promoting the enterprise, which
is now capitalized and ready in every de-
tail for the immediate commencement of
work.
At Olympia connection will be made
with the Northern Pacific, and eventually
there will be line built to connect with
the Union Pacific or Burlington at Tacoma

ate the Development Of the country west

timber and mineral wealth into railroad
communication with Tacoma by way of
