"Our mills are to be rebuilt as fast

owners of Loud's lumber mills destroy

10 The Times In the Hotel Pontchar-
train, Saturday morning. THE town
will also be rebuilt to a certain ex-
tent. But IL will no longer be lake
and rail town; 1t will be a rail town
exclusively. Thevdocks, which were
burned, could not be replaced, ex-
cent under an enormous expense, be
cause of the long extension necessary
from the shore to the navigable wa
ter. Therefore, we have decided not
10 replace the wharf. However, we
have good railway facilities and we
shall not miss the boat service very
much.
"The Are, as has been said, practic.
ally cleaned out the two towns, but
the people are determined not to
leave: the most of them will rebuild

the heaviest losers, our mills, stock

we estimate, is 100000, with only
partial insurance. Our folks have
been at a summer cottage, near Au

DEGREES MARRIAGE
As AN EXPERIMENT
Judge Murfn Would Compel Con.
tracing Parties To Live To-
gether Two Years.

Gussie Simon was granted a divorce
from her husband. Morris. Saturday
morning by Judge Murfin, because her
husband left her when he found that
he could not support her on fifteen
cents day.
According TO Mrs. Morris. II took
her husband Just three weeks after
they were married on Sept. 4, 1910, TO
find that IL would require more than
that amount OF money to live In mar
ried bliss.
II think that II Ia a shame that
people should be allowed to expert
ment with marriage for three weeks
but since the law allows Ii, l must
abide by the law said Judge MUIR
I'm as he granted her decree.
IF were making the laws, would
make people live together for two
years before they could come into
court for a divorce"
Another case where married bliss
did not last long was that OF Joseph
inc Garu who asked for divorce
from her husband, Neasau. They
were married in July and parted IN
September, she testified. She testified
that her husband told her a vivid
story of being manager of a hotel and
restaurant and earning 5000 a month.
She finally consented to accompany
him to Windsor where the knot was
tied. His story was believed until
after the ceremony, when she found
that instead OF being diamond-stud-
ded hotel manager, he was a bartan-
der earning about SIS week.
'In give a decree. but I don't think
much OF these Windsor marriages"
said the court.
Carrie Wilde was granted a divorce
from her husband. Benjamin. on
grounds of desertion. According to
Mrs. Wilde, her husband deserted her
20 years ago and she has not heard
ANYTHING from him since.
Ida Beech testified that she had
been married % years TO her husband,
John, but because he drank liquor,
they separated two years ago. she
was given a decree.
Mary Reidt was granted q divorce
from her husband. Henry. According
to Mrs. Reidt. they we're married "a
years ago, but for IA years he has
been an habitual drunkard.
II put up with It just as long as
could, but couldn't stand 10 live with
him any longer" she testified.
Since you stood it that long. l
think you have just grounds for di-
vorce,r replied the court.
Because Lorenzo Brown could not
definitely establish how long be had
been a resident OF Michigan, Judge
Mhrfn took his appeal for a divorce
from his wife, Annabelle. under ad-
visement III Brown can prove Mon
day that he has lived here more than
two years, the decree will likely be
