Lumber Carrier Waterlogged
off Michigan Island
Grew Picked Up by Steamer
Dinkey and Brought
to Ashland

The first disaster on Lake Superior
during the October-November season
occurred off Michigan Island of the
Apostle groupe Monday night when
the lumber carrier A. L. Hopkins
filed with water. The boat had
loaded lumber at Bayfield, and started
down the lakes.I When she arrived
at a point out from the Apostle
islands heavy sea was encountered,
causing the boat to almost capsize.
The lumber on the forward part of
the ship began to shift and soon the
boat became waterlogged. So rapid
" did the boat fill with water that
the pumps refused to work. One of
the members of the crew went over
board with the lumber and another
was lost in the night when an at
tempt was made to float the life boat.
The rest of the crew of ten men and
one woman remained on the water
logged boat. During the night mys-
terious sounds were heard by the
members on the boat and all of a
sudden the life boat containing t,le
other two members of the crew shot
along side of the bigger boat and the
two men were rescued. The life
boat had run into the drift; lumber on
which one member of the crew was
clinging and after drifting. around in
the night for three hours the Hop
kins was finally sighted.
At daybreak signal of distress
was hoisted. One boat passed but it
did not notice the signal. Then the
steamer Alva Dinkey came in sight
and picked up the members of the
crew of the Hopkins and took them
to Ashland.
The Hopkins was of $50 net tom
mage and was built in 1880. She
was owned by the captain and first
eng ineer of the boat.

Writer Of Letter Failed TO
put in an Appearance
Men Stationed at Lincoln
School Last Thursday
Night Had Long Wait

1t begins to look as if the letter re-
ceived by Policeman Gideon Chauvin
was written for a joke. Had there
been anything to it it is not likely that
anyone would have put in an APP
pearance for the money for it was
generally known about the city that
men would be stationed there on the
night the money was to be deposited.
However, an attempt was made to
land the writer and last Thursday
evening Policeman Chauvin went to
the Lincoln school and left decoy
package at the designated spot.
Others were placed on watch and re-
mained throughout the night but
there was no one to put in an appear
ance and be lead into the trap set.
Many people went up to the school
house during the night to try and
get peep at the supposed BLACK
hand man" but they we're disappoint-
ed, for in the morning the package
still remained where Mr.. Chauvin
had placed it the night before.
The letter writer threatened the
life of the policeman or some MEM
Der of his family unless he complied
with the request but so far no at
tempt has been made to do Mr.. Chau-
vim any harm. 1t is now believed
that the letter was written by some
ocal party for the purpose of giving
Mr.. Chauvin scare.

The case against John Durgis
of Bayfield,. who was arrested
two weeks ago charged with
slashing a large belt in the saw
mill of the Bayfield, Mill Comp
any north of Bayfield,, came up
before Municipal Judge A. M.
Warden in this city Monday of
this week. A preliminary hear
ing was had a week ago and the
case was adjourned until Mon
day, Durgis being held under
$1,000 bonds. After the state
had presented all of it's evidence
the attorneys for the defended,
Mcleod of this city and Fisher
of Bayfield, moved that the case
be dismissed and the motion was
granted by Judge Warden who
held that the evidence did not
warrant Durgis being bound
over.
1t was claimed by the comp
any that the large belt which
was valued at about $500 had
been cut when no one but Durgis
was about the premises. The
case attracted considerable at
tention on account of the fact
that Durgis is well known
throughout this region.

City Attorney John Walsh
has heard the call of nature
.sback to the farm" and he is
going to heed the call in a small
way at least. Last week Mr..
Walsh purchased from ex-sheriff
A. B. Severson his farm out on
the Houghton road just above
the turn. The farm consists Of
seventy acres of as fine land as
is to be found around here.
Forty acres of the tract is under
cultivation and it is Mr.. Walsh's
intention to start a fruit farm.
Whether or not Mr.. Walsh will
do the farming we are unable to
say but at any rate he will see
that the farm is started right.

TO REGULATE INJUNcTIoNs.

Much support, especially from lab
organizations, has been rallied to the
Kendall bill in congress to regulate
the issuance of restraining orders and
the trial of contempts. The text OF
the important part of the measure is
as follows:
NO restraining order or injunction
shall be issued by any court of the
United States, or the judge thereof
in any dispute between an employer
and employees, or between employees
or between persons employed and
persons seeking employment, or in.
volving the terms or conditions OF
employment, unless such restraining
order or injunction shall be clearly
necessary to prevent such irreparable
injury to property or property rights,
as can not be adequately redressed at
law, and then only after reasonable
notice of the application therefor
shall have been served upon the per.
son or persons sought TO be restrain.
ed or enjoined, and he or they shall
have had opportunity to appear in
person or with attorney and traverse
the allegations of said application. In
all such cases the application for re.
straining order or injunction shall be
in writing and duly verified, and
shall state explicitly the facts upon
which relief is demanded, including a
description of the property or prop.
erty rights involved"
