MANY PEOPLE AT WHITMORE STOPPING AT HOTELS.

ALLMENDINGER HAS HIS FIRST VACATION IN 25 YEARS - PERSONAL MENTION.

Whitmore Lake, Aug. 14 - (Special to Daily Argus). We were pleased to see Michael Duffy in the city Saturday as spry and hearty as ever. Mr. Duffy is 74 years old and says he feels like a boy yet.

Jas. E. Burke and Wm. Clancy went to Silver lake on Wednesday and fished shallow, deep and hard, and after languishing for six hours under the scorching rays of a sun, they never got a bite. This is sad but Mr. Burke should have had experience enough to know that to catch good fish he must tackle Whitmore lake.

R. Kern and L.F. Roberts went fishing on Horse Shoe Lake and caught four pickerel and 35 black bass. The pickerel averaged four pounds each and Kern says it is the best luck he ever had.

Maurice O' Conner, of Northfield, had a runaway on Wednesday, badly injuring Mr. O'Conner, who is now at the Ann Arbor hospital.

H.P. Dodge was hauling a load of salt from the depot to his store and his little three year old boy who was with him, accidentally fell off and one of the wheels run over his foot smashing it quite badly, but not as bad as would be expected.

The new phonograph in George Rauschenberger's is a beauty to draw and entertain a crowd. Friday night his place of business was packed listening to it sing and talk.

Will Lowery is hauling lumber with which to erect a residence and you may expect to hear something pretty soon.

D.F. Allmendinger, of the Ann Arbor Organ Co., was in the village yesterday and with his family will remain a week. Mr. Allmedinger has been superintendent of the Ann Arbor Organ Co. for 25 years and he says with the exception of running out here over Sunday once in a while this is the first vacation he has had in all these years.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting Carl Wood, of Green Oak. and a more genial and accomplished gentleman it is hard to find. Mr. Wood owns 515 acres of land on which he says by economy and hard labor, he manages to raise enough of this world's goods to sustain his corpulant frame and everybody is welcome to Carl Woods' home where they will be hospitably entertained.

Mrs. Peter Peterson, of Ann Arbor, and who has been a resident of the Athens of America for the past 15 years is in our city in company with Mrs. Allmendinger. She says she had to come out to see her son Olef, of whom she is justly proud.

Mrs. Chas L. Rane is convalescing, we are pleased to announce, but she is yet very weak.
