The two gentlemen who have re-
received their appointments are Will

warden S district will comprise the

SAD DROWNING
ACCIDENT
Fred Samuels. Of Greenland, and Olof
Knuff, Of Baraea. Drowned While
Crossing Huron Bay.

Monday afternoon word was re-
ceived here OF a sad drowning acci-
deut, which occurred in Huron Bay
in which Fred Samuels, of Green
land, and Olof Knuff, of Baraga.
were the. victims.
According to reports the unfort-
unated men were on their way to
one OF the Baraga Lumber Co.'S.
camps, and when about five hundred
feet from shore, Samuels attempted
to 20 TO the rear of the boat, and
when about midway the craft was
overturned and the occupants were
thrown into the water.
At the place where the accident
occurred the water is about ~
fathoms deep, and despite the efforts
OF the men to save themselves, they
were unable to do so and both were
drowned. An oarsman, who had
accompanied them managed to cling
to the boat, and by dint of hard
labor managed to save himself from
a watery grave.
Up to the time we go to press the
bodies had not been recovered.

MUST DO WORK AGAIN.

For the benefit of those township
and districts officials and the census
enumera:ors who did not think it
necessary to be so very particular
about the matter Of making reports
regarding blind children at the time
of the taking of the recent school
censns, the opinion has been handed
down by deputy Supertindent of
Public Instruction w. Fl. Frenct,
to the effect that the special blind
reports are as essential as the other
features of the census and must be
furnished.
The department holds that the
"blind reports must be made aud
that no excuses will be accepted for
neglect. If district has no blind
children or children who are suf-
fering from defective eyesight, the
special report must show it,. 1t APP
pears that many OF the officers and
enumerators considered that so long
as there were no children in the
district or township TO be considered
in that class no report was necessary.
AS the matter now stands it will
mean great deal of work for the
commissioner and not a little more
for many OF the township and
district officials before the census is
completed. In many instances the
blanks for special reports were lost
and new ones will have to be for
warded. In some districts it will be
necessary for many of the enumera-
tors to again get out and do some
travelling before they can make their
reports. They must do it, however,
or the district Will lose its primary
money.
This extra work and the other
extra work that is resulting from
errors and irregularities on the part
OF the enumerators and district aud
township officers will take so long
that it is practically certain that a
number OF counties cannot get in
their reports in the time set by la W,
but it is probable that the officials at
Lansing will allow reasonable time
for getting matters Strengthened out.
The matter Of being behind In the
forwarding OF the report, no wever
is of little consequence compared
with that OF making certain OF the
apportionment OF primary money.

A Repudiated Debt.

After nearly 80 years, and in that
time crossing the ocean twice, a bond
OF face value OF $4,000 has been
presented to the auditor general at
Lansing for payment. This bond is
one Of series of $3,00O.OOO issued
May l, 1928, intended to pay for
internal Improvement in the state.
Part OF it vert for the building OF
the Michigan Central railroad. The
bond was owned in England and
forwarded to Georgia and thence to
Lansing. OF that series there is still
SIC, 900 worth of bonds outstanding.
The bond is signed by Stevens. T.
Mason, governor; Randolph Manning,
secretary OF state, and Robert Abbott
auditor general.
There is however, an obstacle in
the way Of paying of the bond. Back
in the legislative session of 1899, by
joint resolution, the auditor
general was directed to advertise for
three months, calling on holders of
outstanding bonds Of this issue to
present them for payment inside Of
that prescribed time, as after that
time they would be null and void.
Now this one has turned up, and
faces the situation of state re-
pudiating its debts. The matter has
been referred to the attorney general
for bis decision.

ANOTHER
JAIL DELIVERY
Ralph Racine, Who Is Confined In
Baraea County Jail Escapes Had
Freedom But q Few Hours.

Ralph Racine, charged with the
crime of rape, whose trial was to
have come up at the August term oI
circuit court, but upon plea of not
guilty was held over to the next
term, made his escape Sunday even
ing last from Baraga county Jail,
and only after lively chase was re-
captured.
Sunday afternoon the sheriff and
assistants went to Pequaming, where
they we're in attendance at the Indian
camp meeting, in their official
capacity, which afforded Racine an
excellent opportunity to affect an
escape. During the day number
of his friends talked with him
through the bars of the Jail windows
and it is thought that some one of
the visitors were instrumental in
assisting him, by passing him a saw.
Although no sounds were heard
which would lead any of the sheriff s
family to suspect anything wrong,
at about dusk Mrs. Cosgroye wa,
informed that Racine had just es-
capped through window on the south
side OF the jail.
Word was Immediately sent to the
sheriff, who upon his arrival insti-
tuted diligent search, he going TO
Nestoria. During the early hours
of Monday morning Mr.. Cosgrove
was rewarded for his troubles by the
recapture OF Racine at point few
miles beyond Nestoria, on the rail
road tracks.
Racine was brought back to
L'Anse and placed in cell, where
he remained until Tuesday. Upon
his appearance 10 court he plead not
guilty, and his trial was continued
until the next term. He was again
placed in Jail to await his trial at
that time.

SHORT Term
OF COURT
August Term OF Circuit Court a
Decidedly Short One Many
Cases Continued.

In spite OF the fact that the August
calendar OF circuit court for Baraga
county contained larger list Of
cases than any for number of
terms previous, the session held at
the Court House this week was one
of the shortest on record.
Court convened Monday forenoon
at II O'Clock, Hon A. T. Streeter,
presiding. Although court was in
session at that hour little was done
until afternoon, at which time the
various cases on the calendar were
considered. Many of the cases did
not come up for trial, in most in
stances being held over until next
term. Following is the result:
In the case of the People vs.. Mary
Gordan, charged with assault with
intent to murder, the defendant was
found not guilty and the case dis
charged.
In the case of the People VS.. An
drew Homier, the defendent having
been charged with bastardy, was
continued until next term OF circuit
court.
In the cases OF the People VS.. John
Dommer, ! the defendant pleaded
guilty to both charges OF non. pay
ment of liquor tax, and in the first
case was given a fine OF $25, and
costs amounting to SIC; in the Sec
ond case costs were assessed.
In the case Of the People VS.. Ralph
Racine, the latter being charged
with rape, the defendant entered a
plea OF not guilty and the case was
held over to the next term.
A plea of not guilty was also en-
tered in the case OF the People VS..
Domitilda Bond, charged with keep
ing saloon open Sunday, and this
case was continued until the next
term OF court.
The assumpsit case OF Bouche VS..
Murphy was continued.
In the case OF Joseph Charrette VS..
Village OF L'Anse, in which motion
was made for new trial, the motion
was denied, and what is to be learned
from plaintiffs attorney, the case is
to be taken into the supreme court.
Rehner VS.. Nicholson, bill to quiet
title, decree granted in favor of COM
plainant.
Cheney VS.. Cheney, divorce, was
not taken up.
Cbas. S. Hebard & Sons, Inc, VS..
John o. Zellen, bill for foreclosure
OF mortgage-deed, decree rendered
in favor of complainant.
In the matter of the hearing Of
petitions OF a number OF residents of
the county for admission to citizen
ship all were granted, except in the
case of Matt Warila, who did not
appear.
Practically all the business in con-
nection with this term was COM
pleted Tuesday afternoon, and thus
made the term decidedly short
one.
