It is believed, lf it was a boat, that when the breakup of tho ico occurred Friday evening the crow managed to run it ashore some where. Five observers with powerful glasses saw the object. Four were certain it was a boat, but the fifth thought it might bo a mass of float ing tule. m There is only ono party on the Up per Lake, It is &aid, who could have been out without being missed, a trapper named Erlckson and some companions who have a trappers' camp on the marshes. The camp is in a lonely place, so no one has seen the trappers since Friday to learn if they were out in their boat or not. All other boats are easily accounted for.

WILL HOLD DEBATE : AT OPERA HOUSE, 000 and $1,000,000 In connection with the election.

It was alleged that voters were bribed, election boards corrupted, oditors subsidized and moving pic ture theaters bought up in the en deavor to defeat Henry Ford, first in the primaries of both parties and later when he had won the Demo cratic nomination, in the election itself.
