Durand, Mich, July 2s-A number
of farmers residing on the north roads
of rural mail route No. 2, came into
town to wage vengeance upon Post
master E. S. Upson. They had been
notified that their service would be dis
continued unless the roads are repaired.

make his scheduled time over the poor
roads. Postmaster Upson showed them
that the orders must be carried out and
the farmers returned home to put in a
few hours in repairing roads.

TRAPHAGEN WRITES.
Arrives Safely at Nome and Leaves
for the Gold Fields.

From the Fenton Independent.
A. Traphagen this week received a
most welcome letter from his son, con-
corning whose safety the family were SO
long in doubt. The letter is as follows:
Arctic Ocean, July>1, 1902.
Dear parents, sister and brother:
The first of July and am now near
ing Cape Prince of Wales on our return
from the unfortunate trip into the Arc
tic ocean. Our trip as far as st. Law
renee Island was very pleasant but soon
after reaching there we encountered ice
and were soon surrounded by massive
fields of icebergs.
We could not steam in the desired di-
rection and were left to the mercy Of
the current which runs north through
Behring Strait and along the west coast
of Alaska, at the rate of from two to six
miles an hour. We tied to the ice off
st. Lawrence Island on the 18th of May
and could not turn wheel until the 25th
of June when we had drifted to within
$50 miles of PIT. Barrow, the most north
erly point of America. After passing
Cape Prince of Wales we gave up all
hope Of reaching Nome this summer, as
the experience of other vessels that had
been wedged in the ice jam and carried
north had terminated fatally, as after
passing PIT. Barrow the current sets
northeast and vessel cannot return.
However, on the 25th Of June the wind
began to blow from the north and we
began to buck the ice back and after
three days of tireless effort we reached
weaker ice and slowly beat back and
now are out. We tried to cross the ice
on foot, but found that it was travelling
so rapidly and crushing so savagely that
we would surely all perish should we
attempt it, so abandoned our plan
We smashed our rudder and submit.

Was II a Vision?

A few hours before Martin, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Jennings, passed
away, he awoke from sleep and said
to his parents: II saw grandpa hold
ing a baby in his arms, and it looked
just like Gladys" The grandfather has
been dead several years, and before
Martin was born, another son, who
looked much as Mr.. and Mrs. Jennings
daughter Gladys does, also passed away.
Those who have heard of the strange
occurrence believed that Martin was
vouchsafed a glimpse of the life be-
yond, where relatives were waiting for
him.
