asked that we mijjlit be given seats.

but 1 was more strenuous, and insisted
that the card should reach the proper

We were given the best seats in the

In a debate on the woman question a

loves a petticoated philosopher or wants
to have anything to do with her. I would
as soon hug a grizzly bear' as to touch
such a woman, and I would as Roon go

Two Scared Indians.
, Two Indians from the La Pointe reser
vation, arrived in Bavfield a few days
ago paralyzed with fear. They told a
wonderful story of adventure. They
had started on a hunt on Madeline island
and intended to visit some friends. They
camped on a spot about four miles from
the village. At midnight the Indians
were aroused by a fearful struggle. Be
fore them were two men and a woman
battling, the contestants being covered
with blood.
The Indians say the forms disappeared
afterward, but the sounds and groans
were kept up all night. ' People in that
vicinity claim there has been a terrible
murder committed, on the island some
time in the past, and that the "ghosts"
of the parties were seen by the Indians.
