Baraga county is rapidly coming
to the front in more ways than
one, and is not only "hot bed" in
political scrap, but some of her
citizens are classed as ''easy," and
in possession Of more money than
they really need. The community,
in way, went wild over "Bill
Buffalo Wild West Show" at Han
cock Friday of last week, and few
were wild when they returned, the
cause being that they proved easy
victims for the eight fingered"
gents who are always on hand on
such occasions to Ike money and
valuables without permission, or
without apology for helping them
selves. Several have admitted that
they were touched" and others
are still going around with hands
in their pockets and strange look
in their eyes.
~
Harvey Selden, one OF the justices
of the peace of L'Anse township,
is explaining how it all happened,
aud how tickled he was when the
Jail door was opened and he again
got sniff Of outdoor air. Tuesday
afternoon, it appears, a man de-
tanned in Jail, sent for Harvey to
call and see him, and the Judge
hastened to that institution, was
admitted to the cell room, and the
heavy iron door changed" behind
him. Sheriff Girard was away at
the time, and the deputy had oc-
casion to go to another part Of the
town, forgetting all about the
ledge" When Harvey finished
his conversation he went to the
door and raped, but the rap was
unheard. He kept on pounding.
Things began to assume q serious
aspect in the eyes of the 'jedge"
and the plain and unadulterated
fact stared him in the face that
he was himself sin thar" and he
wanted to get out the worst kind.
| The time varies somewhat as to just
how long he was playing checkers
with his nose" before the sheriff
returned and liberated him. Harve
says there are jokes, some OF
which are not laughable, and this
is one of them. But still people in
town laugh.
The boys are having the laugh on
the genial janitor OF the Town Hall.
Monday evening he FASTENED to the
hall, turned on the incandescent
lamps, leach one holding a gallon of
oily, got things squared around in
good shape ready for the Demo
cratic caucus, and then seated
himself on the front steps waiting
for the crowd to come. Every
few minutes Henry looked at his
watch, then up and down the street.
People passed along and wondered
what was going on in the hall
Henry knew. There was going to
be Democratic caucus il the
Democrats only showed up. After
a few minutes some one made the
remark that the caucus was called
for Wednesday evening instead of
Monday, and the the lights were
quickly 'doused."

A WRECK ON THE RIVER
University Boys Rescued From
Serious Predicnment.

HoSs AsSSSuSu EiOH -
Serious Predicnment.
One of the most heroic rescues from
drowning that has ever been witnessed
in the city was made yesterday by the
members of truck company No. 6 when
two university men named Sheldon and
jerome were taken from the waters. OF the
of the river near the Franklin avenue
bridge With companion named Maui
they built raft of logs near the Wash
ington avenue bridge and started to float
down the stream. After going a short
distance. their rude craft came into con-
tact with submerged rock and was
broken into pieces. Each OF the men
chung to leg and was carried on down
the stream.
Jerome drifted but short distance
when the log that was holding him up
lodged against the pier of the Franklin
avenue bridge and he was able to cling
there in apparent safety The iremen
who had been called by a passing wheel
man, lowered rope with a life saving
belt to him and I'M few minutes he was
lifted from his perilous position to the
bridge above.
Sheldon was not so fortunate as his
companion and the logs upon which, he
was riding, lodged few rods above the
| bridge, entirely beyond the reach of the
life line. Captain Persch and Driver &c
Ostie Of truck No. 6 went to the govern
ment dam about 8 mile down the stream
where they secured a boat. The pull VI
the stream against the swift current was
| a long and difficult one to make ant
there was doubt if the. frightened mar
in the river could hold to the log unit
the boat reached him. At last the boa
came in sight and in a few minute.
Jerome was taken from his perilous posi-
tion by the firemen. Maui had previous

j.. G. Eliel, of the Lyman Eliel Drug
company, returned yesterday after four
months absence in Europe. He visited
Austria. Germany Holland, Belgium
England, Italy, Algiers and Spain. The
commercial supremacy of America, he
says, is conceded everywhere, and there
is a wholesome respect for citizens of this
country. America, he found, Is still a
long way behind European citizens in
municipal government and municipal
cleanliness. Naples, which is considered
dirty city, does not compare with Chi
cago in that respect. Of all the conti-
mental cities visited, Mr.. Eliel was most
impressed with the wonderful strides
Berlin had made since he was last there.
The great growth of the German capital
is attributed to the progressive spirit of
Emperor William.
