On Friday of this week 10 per cent of the cash sales made at 0’ Donnell’s store will be given to the Presby- terian Ladies Aid society.

This is a worthy object, and the pur- ehasers will get the benefit of O’ Donnell’s usually low prices. Just remember this bit of pews and act in accordance with the suggestion. Off to the Tournament.

He returned the same evening and as he was act- ing somewhat queer he was prompt- ly taken in hand by the police and again lodged in jail. His talk and actions were of an obscene nature, which showed a depraved mind. The next morning he was taken before Judge Huson and was given a thor- ough examination and again declared sane, after which a ticket for West Superior was given him and he was shipped out of town. A Wild West Exhibition. A pony owned by J. E. Farrell gave an exhibition of bucking last Monday morning which would put a western horse to shame. “J. EB.” has his horse under the care of W. E. Myers, who is training the animal so that the children can safely handle it, and in giving it one of its first lessons,,a saddle was placed on its back and the game wason. The pony threw itself in every conceiv- able position, and when the saddle could not be dislodged in that way, it tried going up in the air and coming down stiff-legged. After a few ineffectual attempts, the pony at last gave up, when it was led out of the barn and one of the hostlers jumped astride of it and it trotted off as sedate as an old family horse. Dr. Schmidt Will Locate Here. Dr. Schmidt, of Minneapolis, was here last Wednesday making arrange- ments to locate here.

Grand Rapids Not in League. A baseball league was formed at Coleraine last week, known as the ‘Western Mesaba baseball league, which was supposed to include the }Deer River and Grand Rapids clubs.

Logging Camp Burns. Clarence Buchanan, the Prairie River logger, was in town last Thurs- day and informs us that he lost his main logging camp which was located on the south fork of the Prairie River, through fire, the latter part of May.

A Pleasant Surprise Party. About thirty of the young friends of Sylvester Strain gathered at his home Friday evening and gave him the surprise of his life, the party being gotten up by Catherine Beck- felt and Margaret O’Connell.

At a late hour the young folks wended their way to their various homes, declaring it an evening well spent. BIG FORK NEWS TOLD BY SETTLER (From Big Fork Settler.)
