BROKE INTO CAMP

Paid Costs Amounting To s5.25
Four weeks ago a party Of young men
broke into the camp OF Frank Robin
son, traplsr on the Michigamme river.
There were six in the party but
only two Of them were guilty OF des-
troyIng and damaging the contents Of
the camp Tn complaint OF the own.
or OF the camp warrant was sworn
ont for their arrest In Justice Court
the boys all volunteered between them
selves TO pay the damages and Justice
Dawson fixed an even cost on all Of
them with the exception of Herman
Plankey and Richard Farley who. IL is
understood did all Of the damage In
the camp, while the rest of the boys
we're fishing In addition TO a cost Of
s5. 20 Plankey was given 20 days in
the county Jail. which he is now serv.
ing. A cost of S. 25 was liked on the
rect of the party, which they paid.
Farley. who is al present on the west
side of the county, will probably be-
held later to answer 20 the charge of
carrying things away from the camp
Il will be remembered that abou:
four weeks ago, Robinson the trspper
whose camp was broken into, followed
bunch Of fisherman in from the
Miohigamme and even went so far as
70 threaten to shoot them with shot

ing that they were the ones that broke

gether too hasty with the party and
certainly was lucky that the boys did
not report MIN as they should have
done, for threatening 70 kill two of
them with his shotgun. Shortly. after
he approached the party Of fishermen
with his shotgun ne found the guilty
ones and Caused their arrest
The trapper has right TO be justi-
fed for any damage done 70 his camp
but there is no law that gives him
the right to approach citizens IF the

pom, and threaten TO kill them. Mr..
Robinson will probably remember
hereafter that there is more than one
party Of fishermen and hunters who
take advantage Of the woods and

JEALOUSY ON THE FRONTIER
How Carefully European Countries
Guard Their Borders Is Shown
by This Incident.

A frontier incident occurred re-
Gently when a lieutenant of the aero
plane feet at Posen, Germany, was
taking part in scouting practice early
in the morning. A slight fog arose
and Il few minutes later the rattle of
musketry and a hole in the wing OF
his machine showed that he had been
espied by the Russian sentinels. The
lieutenant thought it advisable to
descend, and had a very friendly re-
ception from the Russian captain,
who regretted that he was unable to
settle the affair himself, and must
take the aviator and his machine to
headquarters 20 miles away. There
being no railways, the lieutenant fore
saw a long delay, and proposed as a
shorter and ~pIeasanter method that
the Russian captain should accom-
pany him thither on his machine, If
not forbidden by the regulations. The
regulations apparently did not provide
for such a ease. and the Russian cap

pair OF binoculars in the form of two quart wine
bottles dashed together, to his eyes and makes a
p~retense of getting his bearings by scrutinizlng
the sailors about him. Presently he reports to
Sanity, who has deposited his basket of presents
on the quarter deck, Sir, l see we are now in the
Cannibal isles"
Sanity begins then to pick up presents and
read the names aloud, giving them to the crew OF
Der Prosit' and the admiralis wife. and even to
the admiral himself, who distributes them accord
ingly, cutting many ridiculous capers.
The presents are of a type that bring laughter.
They are gotten up and made by the friends Of
those to whom they are sent, with an idea to-
wards characterizing the ambition, the whim or
the standing jokes that mark the receiver II
the captain is a four striper he will probably get
an admirals star, unless he has some other whim
by which he is more properly known. When he is
presented with this he can only blush in the
presence of everybody, and take his dose, as
Sanity is supreme on Christmas day.
But the greatest gift that Sanity can bestow
falls to the lot of those who, through some mis-
fortune or slip, have come III line for punishment.
1t is customary for Sanity to walk boldly up to
the captain and ask him to "whitewash" the
books. In the face of everybody and on Christ
mas day the captain can not very well refuse this
request, although some captains have been seen
to vince and cough before granting the immeas-
urable favor. The report book, in which all pun
ishable acts are entered, is swept clean and the
culprits are reinstated to f~rst-class standing and
enjoy all the privileges held by their more for
tunate shipmates who have not fallen before the
multiplicity of temptations that daily assail the
man-o-warsman.
The event which forms a background for all this
merriment is the regular big feed" as the sail
ors call it. For the last week this has crept into
their conversation. Pie, turkey and plum duff
are the three great delicacies to the sailors, and
they have more respect for them than for the
three graces.
What kind of a feed is the ~commissary gonna
hand us?' one sailor asks o. another. During this
time of anticipation excitement runs high and the
commissary is a very much respected person. IN
fact. he is never a retired person, for his billet is
a hard one to fill to the satisfaction of every one
who eats at the general mess. There is always
some old tar or other who imagines himself to
be sighted by the quality of his food, and the
apprentice boys take from him the habit of com
planning with very little reason on their side.
Quarrels often result and have to be referred to
the mast" where the first lieutenant (irst lur)
settles the matter in favor of the commissary. so
that the sailor arranges a private settlement with
the com1lissary later on whore the first luff has
nothing to say about it.
The burden OF the repast falls naturally upon
the cooks and mess attendants. 1t is far from an
enjoyable affair with them, although they are an
