                            Lake Linden's Fire.
                            
              Marquette, Mich., May 23. - Full details from Lake
            Linden show that fully 2000 people are sufferers from
            the recent fire. JOHN CASEY, alias "REDDY," was sleep-
            ing in HOSKINS' when the fire broke out. HOSKINS' son
            woke CASEY, but he lay down again and was burned to
            death. Telegrams and letters asking aid for the suffer-
            ers have been sent out and the people are responding
            freely. The villages of Hancock and Houghton contributed
            $5000. Prominent men all over the copper country are
            raising money. Mayor N**ter, H. C. THUROER and PETER
            WHITE, of this city, headed the list with $300 each.
            Prompt assistance is needed. All money should be 
            addressed to Dr. FLETCHER, Lake Linden, Mich.
