DEBATE ON A LIVE QUESTION.

Tuesday evening, in the hall of the
knights of Columbus, the Hon. John
Schuette and City Attorney Richard W.
Burke discussed the question Of Munici-
pal Ownership of Public Utilities, the
former reading an interesting paper the
general drift Of which was that Munici-
pal Ownership is not necessarily n
desideratum and that the acquisition of
public utilities by municipalities il
oftentimes attended by much injustice
to private corporations and individuals
owning such utilities and the latter
presenting cogent oral argument in
advocacy of government ownership of
those utilities which individuals or
private corporations cannot establish
and operate without the permission of
the government, the qualification of the
cardinal principles emphasized by him
being the precedent condition that the
people own the government.

LOCAL MAN HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM INJURY.

Last Friday, while in the waiting
room of the depot at Cato, Edward
Hartman of this city had narrow
ESCAPE from what might have resulted
in serious injury to him. The fire in a
large stove in the room had just been
replenished by the agent, when the stove
exploded, this causing fire to be scatter
ed about the room. Mr.. Hartman's
overcoat, which he had on his person,
took fire, and the garment was badly
damaged before he succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames. But little, if
any, damage resulted to the building,
for the fire thrown about the room was
speedily pat out by the agent and others
who promptly came to his assistance.
Mr.. Hartman is the local agent of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company.

INJURED MAN, S REAL
NAME is lEMLEY.

The real name of the man who. some
three weeks ago in a fight at Two Rivers.
was severely slashed about the throat,
with a knife welded by John Watts,
sailor who is now serving three
years sentence at the states peniten-
tiary is John Lemley, and not John
Morse, the name he had assumed when
brought to the county Jail for care after
the murderous attack made upon him
at the place mentioned.
When the gravity of the injury suf-
fered by the stranger was realized, he
was transferred from the Jail to the
hospital, where he has been a patient
since.
The discovery Of the mans real name
was made last week by Police Chief
August Drews, who obtained the clue
to the patients identity through the
fact that the man had written letter
addressed to some one residing in
Detroit, Mich Chief Drews succeeded
in getting into communication with
certain Lemleys of that city, who sent
him photograph os the injured man,
the senders of the picture believing the
wounded man to be their son, whom
they had not seen or heard from for
years. The belief of the parents proved
to be correct; and, when identified, the
patient admitted that his real name was
John Lemley. He has a sister living at
Merrill, this state.
He is now on the road toward recovery,
and it is believed that he will be able to
leave the hospital within short time
When ready for his departure, he will
