An article has been going the round
relative TO the bravery OF an enginee
IN running over burning bridge a
Armstrong Greek. Some papers ex
banded il into the necessity OF ferry
ing passengers across the stream. Al

done the bridge at all. The enginee
who ran his train over in such heroic
fashion could have saved the compan,
a great deal OF expense had he stopped
and thrown pail OF water on the
little fire that existed alongside OF the
track. The report was sent :,
headquarters that the bridge wa
burned and special wrecking trair
was sent up 10 Armstrong from Esca,
naba TO rebuild the bridge. Wher
the train arrived the bridge was found
10 be intact, a little scorching on one
side showing where there had beer
a fire. The passenger train was held
up eight hours at Iron River rather
than take any chances and there were
some mad officials when the facts
came i'm.

with a nine over there. II was sup

were OF equal ages and weights but
when noses were counted number

was established, is being passed along
from one generation TO the other fOr

in row with the score 9 to in favor

couldn't use one hand and the pains
that he endured were something
awful Andy Boyington advised him
to wade the river and he determined
TO try it, so every morning last week
he went to the Paint river at o'clock
and stayed an hour Ia the water. To

Some confusion has resulted from
the similarity I'm the names between
the order OF Maccabees that held its
convention in Detroit last week and
the Maccabees Of Michigan. There is
no connection and the raise In rates
decided upon by the order that met
last week does not in any way effect
the local lodge. The order that voted
To raise rates is known as the MAC
cabees OF the World" while the order
that the local lodge Is part of is
called the Modern Maccabees.
