June 7, 1995- ISHPEMING- Thirty acres of blueberry brush and aspen trees were burned in Tilden Township in a suspicious fire. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources firefighters, after spending five hours fighting the flames, returned to investigate the cause of the fire. The DNR battled the blaze with nine firefighters, two 1,000 gallon tankers, a 500 gallon pumper, and two tractors. The fire started in the property owned by Bill Dunstan, from there spreading to a neighboring parcel. There were no burn permits issued and no signs of a controlled burn, says DNR fire supervisor for Gwinn, Terry Popour.

June 7, 1935 -NEWBERRY- An animal bearing a resemblance to a wolverine (low to the earth, shaggy furred, and bear like) was spotted in Newberry. The creature has been assumed extinct for a number of years, yet sightings have been reported in the eastern sections of the Upper Peninsula. Louis F. Smith of Newberry claims to have seen tracks in the woods similar to the wolverines, Elmer Dalton, another area woodsman, says he saw the beast with his own eyes. Last summer, while picking berries, children of a trapper in Luce county told their father that a small bear with a bushy tail followed them several days in a row. Could it be the lost wolverine?
