TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

Thomas Torrison, Win Richards and
Jerome Pierce were appointed com
mittee to appraise property taken by
the Ahnapee Railway under condem-
nation proceedings. They visited
Ahnapee on Sunday, concluded their
business on Monday and left for home
by way of the new road, Mr.. Decker
having secured them a special train.
They expected to reach the junction
with the Kewaunee road in time for
the regular train on that road. but
missed it. The junction is in the heart
of the forest and here the men found
themselves with an excellent oppor
tunity Of remaining there "A hours.
Tom Torrison tleegraphed Decker, the
president of the road, as follows, Here
we are in the woods. What are you
going to do with us?" Decker sent a
gravel train after them and brought
them out to civilization. They were
ravenously hungry by this time and
made for boarding house for mill
hands. The hands had not arrived but
supper was ready. The three apprais-
ers ate everything in sight. The mill
men were surprised and indignant when
they found their food eaten, and it
looked for time as il pretty lively
riot would soon be in progress in that
shanty. Fortunately Decker was again
within reach of the telegraph and he
received the message, Get us out Of
this, for Gods sake. We are in great
dapger!" He sent third special with
instruc tions to take the three TO
Green Bay or Kill EN-" They got
home safe.

war Is over, there will be about twenty

they--the women-will have to take up
