BIG BARN BURNED
A. ID. McRae Of Palatka Lost His Big
Building Last Friday

One Of the seyerest fire losses suf-
fered in this county was that OF A. ID.
McRae on his Pentoga farm when the
new barn which he had just about
completed was burned 10 the ground
last week Friday. The building was
42xl20. with basement and contain
ed the entire crop OF hay. oats. etc.
which Mr.. McRae got from HIS farm
this year. He had not completed the
horse portion OF the structure SO
that his horses were not caught in
the flames and his cattle were not In
the building at the time.
II is supposed that the flames
caught from spark sent out by a
passing locomotive on the North
Western road as the fire burst out
from the roof only a few minutes
after the train passed. The wind was
blowing a gale so that there was no
possible show OF saving the struc-
ture.

II is only few years ago when IL
was the custom OF theatrical man
ayers to keep their big dramatic sue
cesses in New York. Chicago and the
other large cities for several seasons
before sending them ION the road TO

presented by companies OF inferior

this delay stale to the theatre goers
.of the smaller towns before the plays
reached them. Today all this Is chang
ed. In order to reap the reward Of
success, the successful plays must be
presented while the interest is still
strong and keen In the larger cities.
The outside public is better informed
Of theatrical happenings in New York
and other centers. and wants the play
while IL is still in the height OF its sue

to send out the original company, the

AM U. r. NEGRO MuRpERER

The upper peninsula was invaded
by a negro murdered last week and
before he was brought behind the
bars one life was snuffed out and two
others were so jeopardised that they
hang by a mere thread. The man is
known as Wilson and was first heard
OF at Powers where he attempted to
burglarize the house OF Edward Fish,
young farmer living at Powers
Fish was awakened and made for
the robber who shot him three times,
twice through the arm and once
through the body. The aged father at
tempted to help the son and was
struck over the head with bludgeon
and is not expected to live,
The negro was next heard Of at
Nestoria and the telegraph operator
there, hearing the message from the
sheriffs OF the peninsula going over
the wires, recognized the negro
lounging about the waiting room as
the man wanted He was told TO hold
the man until the arrival OF the sher-
In from Negaunee and he enlisted
the assistance OF Sam MacGregor, a
trapper and deputy sheriff OF Nestoria.
MacGregor found the negro in the
waiting room and told him he was
under arrest. Not realizing the ser
iousness OF the work he was about.
MacGregor turned his back on the
negro who whipped out revolver and
shot the deputy dead. He then made

jumped through -the window and es-
capped.
The negro fed but later returned
and gave himself up to the sheriff OF

TELEPHONE SYSTEM ron ALPHA
Local Company Was Granted Fran
chise al a Special Election

A special election held on the sth
instant at Alpha TO pass upon the
question OF granting franchise to a
local telephone company resulted in a
victory for the franchise. This means
that system will be installed by the
local company and an exchange main
tained there. Connection will be made
with the Bell central in this city and
there will be free interchange OF
telephone connection between the two
towns. Under the present arrangement
the Bell people charge toll OF 15-
cents for each call.
Mr.. Garrigan was the moving spirit
in the new telephone company and has
been boosting II right along. He sue
ceeded in interesting sufficient capital
TO assure the success of the project
and then asked for franchise. The
Alpha Telephone Co. will pay the Bell
people q monthly rental In a small
amount for each phone. The Bell peo-
pie are very reasonable with these in
dependent connections, their return
being about enough to pay for the ex-
ira operator which the addition will
necessitate. They make up on the toll
business which they will get from the
connection and figure that the increase
in that line will be sufficient to COM
pensate them for the sacrifice that
they make on the local phones. When
the Alpha system is installed every
subscriber to phone in this city will
be privileged to talk with every sub
scriber in Alpha without paying any
thing exrta.

When the turn OF the defense came
Mr.. Bittner mounted the stand and
gave his version of what is the right

According to recent estimate of
the United States public health serv-

country who are victims of the drug
habit is about 10000, and the number
of doses of narcotic drugs consumed
by them annually is about 850000,00O.
This estimate is based on figures col
lected in the state of Tennessee where
under a recently enacted antinarcotic
law 1,403 permits were issued in six
months to persons petitioning for the
privilege of using narcotic drugs, and
the consumption of such drugs amount
ed to 8,498,200 average doses.
