A BAD RUNAWAY.

There was a runaway on the Col
umbis road Sunday that made quite a
mix-up and did considerable damage
besides putting Frank Cole on crutches
for several days. Otto Nemi, the
down town saloon keeper. was out
riding with his family when the horse
took fright and Runaway. The oc-
cupants Of the rig were thrown out
aud the horse lit out on mad gallop
along the road. Frank Cole was
ahead, riding on his sulkey, and the
runaway horse ran into him locking
the wheels OF the vehicles and throw
ing Frank into the ditch. Away went
the horse on it's mad gallop and locked
the rig into one of Shocks rigs ahead,
occupied by a fellow and his girl.
The rig was lifted and the occupants
nearly spilled out when the harness
boke and let Nemie horse free. IL
was narrow escape all around, the
only looser being Nemie who, besides
being badly ruhed in temper, had a
broken rig and harness to pay for.

UNDER THE BAN.
SCHOOL, Board Informs Teach
ers That Dances Must Be
Gut Out.

The Crystal Falls school board has
handed Ii out to the teachers of the
corps that, hereafter, teachers who
attend dances and parties that
keep them out after III clock on
nights of the week when they are to
teach the following day, do so against
the wishes OF the board and continued
indulgence in the practice is liable to
bring dismissal. The board felt
that il is not necessary to go on record
with formal resolution so, in an
unofficial way, authorized Prof. Hill
to impart the above information to
his teachers.
This action on the part Of the board
is the result Of general movement
throughout the peninsula TO hold the
teachers to stricter sense of the
responsibility that rests upon them
and, that late hours, which certainly
incapacitates them for as vigorous
work as they would be able 20 do had
they partaken of good nights sleep,
must be stopped. 1t is not calculated
TO infringe upon the personal rights
OF the teacher or to throw about her
any blue laws that the board is making
this rule but from common
business principal. School boards feel
that they pay the teacher for all the
ability that there Is in her and they
want full measure. IL the teacher
prefers amusements to work why, they
want to know it 80 that they can get
some one that does not It simply
the application of "work before play.
A member of the school board said
to the Diamond Drill reporter when
asked regarding this matter. there
was very decided sentiment on this
subject in the board but we thought
best not to be too hasty in the matter
aud 40 did the business unotficially
In fact we have been spoken TO by
numerous OF the school patrons who
to put the matter In plain terms
stated that they were of the opinion
that the teachers were thinking more
OF having good time than OF attend
ing to their school duties, and we
thought that was time to take cogniz-
ence Of the feeling before IL was famed
into flame and caused unnecessary
dissensions in the community.

of the new concern to colonize the

Cliffs company at their mills or
furnaces. IL is one of the most inn
portant moves that has been made
in the peninsulna in many years and
will probablg result in the rapid

WHO'LL BE NEXT?
Raber a Watson Make More
Arrests In The Swindlins
Case.

Last winter The Diamond Drill
printed. on information received from
what it considered good source,
that there would be other arrests in
the swindling case of Freeman and
others vs. Raber q Watson. the Chicago
cedar men. The information was phoo
hooed by he wise acre newspaper men
at the mouth Of the Menominee river
but later developments have gone
to prove that our prediction was cor
rect and that before the case is finally
wound mp there are liable TO be many
arrests and Freemen is likely to have

The Chicago firm Is composed OF
two Of the finest fellows who ever
did business on the Menominee river
A gentlemen well acquainted with the
case and connected with the defense
of Freeman said to Diamond Drill
reporter at the time Of the Freeman
trial, This affair is burning shame.
The firm Of Raber and Watson is
made up Of two OF as nice fellows as
ever met They made some money
between them and started in business
for themselves. They put all the
money that they had saved into the
business and placed implicit confidence
in their employees up here who inn
mediately proceeded to swallow up
capital of the firm in swindling
transactions. IL is too bad

have been in quiescent state and il
was. supposed that the volume was
CLOSED but later developments go to
show that they have been quietly but
efectually gathering in the loose ends
that they needed TO give other guilty
persons their deserts for the part
played IN swindling them. The
yromans were followed all over the
Earth and recently nipped out in the
west where they thought that they were
secure. Then came the announce

There was game Of base ball at the
driving park on Labor day between
the old spavs and the professionals
who are starring the peninsula under
the management of J. f. Cororan and
eating up everything they meet. They
tried to eat up the old Spavs that
Geo. Voos assembled to do battle with
them but they bit off to big mouthful
and had to spit some Of it out. The
game didn't amount to much but the
umpiring was hns. The fun began
with the Spavs at the bat and they
Immediately proceeded to fall upon
the professional twirler with ven-
geance. L. A. Henry did the twirl-
ing and before the inning was over

with Fred Schnider's bee farm.
The Spavs only hammered him for
four runs when the umpire took pity
on the boys and called the sledge

stating as his reason for 30 doing
that the officers Of the law, or the
prison authorities had not been cor
rectly informed, and his name was
his secret until he passed beyond the
penitentiary walls. The object of
the letter was TO induce Mr.. Semer to
rattle a western cowboys bride, the
making of which had required five
months of the convicts time. A
photograph of the bride accompanied
the letter, and judging therefrom-
the bride is very ingenious and
artistic piece of workmanship The
prisoner who signes the fictitious name

that he will rattle that bride and the
same will probably be on exhibition

The list OF those from Maryland

war, according to the records Of the
War department, contained the name
of donkey designated as Billy
Bray
An enrolling officer in the Salisbury
district was making inquiries at the
house of a farmer one day when all
the men were absent. An old lady
gave a list of those connected with
the homestead. When asked If there
were not others the old lady said:
None except Billy Bray, and he was
at the barn moment ago.
The officer went out to the barn and.
finding nobody, went back and asked
concerning the age and physical con-
dition of the supposed man. He was
informed that Billy Bray was about
twenty years old and in splendid
health. Accordingly the name OF Billy
Bray was enrolled among those to be
drafted When the time came for the
draft the supposed man could rot be
found, and the joke was told. The en-
rolling officer was known until death

What would his generous benefactor

Indiana M an Had Train Stopped With
out Straining the Truth.
Levy Mock, a we'll known attorney
and ex-member of the Indiana legis-
lature, is seven feet tall in his stock
ing feet and weighs 3O5 pounds. He
lives at Blutfton, and the other day
he was very anxious to reach Hunting
ton, where he was to sit in an import
ant case as special judge, the attorneys
for the plaintiff and defendant having
agreed that he was big enough at any
rate, to be impartial. In order to get
to Huntington he would have to change
cars at Kingland, the junction of the
Lake Erie and Western and the Chi
cago and Erie railroads.
When Mock reached the railroad sta
ton at Bluffton the Lake Erie train
was several minutes late, and the
chances were that he would miss con-
nection at kingland. The Chicago and
Erie train usually waited for connect
ing passengers if there were several

Mock got him to send this telegram to
the conductor Of the Chicago and Erie
train at kingland:

When the Lake Erie and Western
train reached the junction Mock got
off and hurried to the Chicago and Erie
train which had been he. for "a large
party" The conductor waited for
others to come, but when the Lake
Erie and Western train started away
the truth flashed upon him, and he
turned to Mock surveyed him from
head to foot, and said:
