Some time during the night the door to
the office was pried open and hole
drilled through the safe door, which was
then blown open with charge of gun

disturb the papers or books at all, nor
did they modest quantity of small

The twenty annual fair OF the
Michigan State Agricultural Society at
East Saginaw was not n complete sue
cess financially, owing to unfavorable
weather. The total receipts aggregate
$16, $50, while the premiums and ex-
penses foot up $21, 900, leaving a de-
ficiency of S., 900 to be paid from ball

WHILE three young men of Battle
Greek were hunting at Wall Lake, about
twenty miles north of that city, one day
last week, one of the party, named Geo.
Rockwell, was seriously injured by the
accidental discharge of shotgun i'll his
own hands. The thumb and fingers of
his right hand were SO badly mutilated
that amputation WAS rendered necessary.
His face and eyes We're also terribly
bruised by shot. although it lis believed
that his sight will not be destroyed

THERE is an independent woman at
the Grand River Holue, Jackson, en-
ployed as a cook, Mrs. Grosvenor, whose
husband-Benj. S.-left Dowagiac five
years ago to seek work as butcher. He
did not come back, and during all that
time she never heard from him, and be-
heved herself to be Il widow. But re-
Gently Mr.. GrosyenOr came back from
Missouri, as poor as when he went away,
and Mrs. q. minated thatas she got along
very well while he was absent, she could
keep on doing SO, the more especially
as he had left a sick family when he went
away, one of whom, a boy, died soon after.

miscauied. He was somewhat discon-
certed at his cool reception, and left for
Saginaw, where he has brother living.
ABOUT four years ago family named
Wymans, consisting of the husband,
wife and three children, took up home
stead near Baldwin, Lake county, and
up TO some four weeks ago pursued the
even tenor of their way, i'll no manner Cd
ing aught to attract public attention.
They had not prospered at their home,
and moved TO Baldwin, where the hus-
band went to work for one James Tin
ney, cutting logs, etc, while the wife
took in washing. After time Tinney
became unduly familiar with Mrs. Wy
mans, and the injured husband, despair
ing of again securing his wifes affec-
tons, proposed a meeting of all parties,
whenan understanding arrived mt, the
conversation ending in document being
drawn up and signed which specified
that, for and in consideration of $50 in
hand paid, Wymans conveyed to Tinney
the woman, his wife, his three children,
and also COW and one calf. The woman
was described by name and age with
almost rs much particularly as the COW
and calf. This bill of sale is recorded
in the Township Clerks office in the
township of Pleasant Plains, Lake
county. Tinney and Mrs. Wymans are
now living together.
