The young daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. A. Severson, of Houghton,
received very serious injuries the
middle part of last week, by falling
from the banks into the Prentice
quarry. Just how far the child fell
could not be told, from the position
in which she was found. There was
a fracture of the skull, and the little
one was taken to Dodd's hospital at
Ashland, where an operation was
performed, and resports received
within the past day or two are to
the effect that she will recover.
Postmaster John Bates, of Nash,
was in the city Tuesday morning,
and turned over the money order
records IF his Office to the local post

and hereafter the people who re-
ceived mali there will get it at the
offices in the same vicinity. Mr..
Bates informs US that he intends to
go west in the near future, where be
will be employed by members of the
company who have operated at

The Washburn Brewery is closed
again and all business is at a stand
still. There was a stipulation be-
tween the Schlitz people who OBJ

on terms. and as a result the brew
cry closed Tuesday. 1t is very
doubtful whether the concern may
re open, but the upshot of the
whole affair will likely be the start
ing of a new brewing concern,
which will in all probability make
use of the old brewery building.

something of movement in town
lots in Washburn, Bayfield, and Iron

line all winter.
