Mike EHLINGER, Jr. is hauling lumber for his mill for a new house which he will erect next summer.

The saloon of William STREHLOW at Hayes was raided last Thursday morning, the raiders breaking in at the back door. The contents of every package of liquor was run out on the floor and a match was touched to the liquor, the heat of the flames breaking the windows, but somehow the fire was extinguished.

The burglary of the saloon in Hayes still remains a mystery. Who the perpetrators were, what there object, is a question. Many think the parties were familiar with the place which was plundered for the work could not have been so thoroughly and quietly accomplished. Whoever the felon is he should be brought to justice. The saloons are licensed to sell liquor six days out of the week and no one, however much they might dislike the business has any right to molest them. But they have no license to sell on the Sabbath nor to minors, and since we believe in abiding by the law we think it would be a great blessing to Hayes to see that the law was enforced.*

Charles GAUTHIER and Joe PHILIPPI have finished work with Jerome PECORE an the Reservation where they have been teaming timber through the winter. Mr. PECORE has cut over two million feet of timber and would have cut more had the season for hauling been longer. Both speak in high terms of the Indian camps. Charlie has gone to Suring to work with his team for ERICKSON and Joe has been cutting ice for his own use.
