HENRY CAKES, Deputy Postmaster of Flint,
absconded taking with hira a quantity of mon
ey belonging to the office, together with all the
registered letters. The amount of money car
ried off is not yet ascertained. The community
is taken entirely by surprise, as Cakes was
man in whom every one put confidence, believ-
ing him to be an honest, upright man. The
next day after his flight he was Unidentified at
the Abram House, in Lapeer, by Edward Rob
inson, an employe of that house, and arrested
by Marshal Miller. Three hundred and eighty
one dollars in currency and Canada draft Of
1921 were found OH his person. He was taken
back to Flint.
A DISPATCH from Big Rapids says: The
cashier of the Northern National Bank,
of this city, hearing suspicious sounds
under the bank floor, called the attention of
the Sheriff and other officers to it. A search
was made to find out where man could get
under the bank, and resulted in finding hole
in cellar wall two doors north of the bank.
Two men were stationed here and hole sawed
through the bank floor which drove tho bur
glar back into the cellar mentioned, where he
Was caught. He proved, to the establishment
OF every one, to be a citizen of this place, Mr..
A. O. Clark. A jackknfe, gimet and small
chisel are all the tools found so far. lie owns
up to everything, and is now lodged in jail
The Ward will case was brought up in the
Wayne Circuit Court last week on motion for
"struck" jury. For the benefit of the I'M
enlightened we will explain that "struck "
jury is considered more select than the ordinary
jury chosen by lot. The mode OF drawing is
this The County Clerk prepares list Of forty
eight names OF persons selected by him from
among the best men in the county. From this
list each side strikes off twelve names, and the
jury is selected from those remaining. The
case was tried before a jury selected in this
manner The proponents ask for a struck
jury; the contestants want the case tried by
the ordinary panel drawn for the March term
of court. Judge Reilly took the matter under
advisement and granted the application, tc
which action the opponents of the will took an
exception.
ACCORDING to the Lexington JetersOnidn
several members of the sect called Nazarenes,
living in Forester Sanilac County, are creating
some excitement by their wild fai.aticism. They
professed 10 have received revelation that the
world IL coming to an end April 1, and are
designating different persons to carry the news
to the different nations. Upon DIR. Johnston, OF
White Rock, devolves the somewhat difficult
task OF hunting up the widely scattered Israel
ties and notifying them of what is to happen.
The con missioner who is to perform the like
service for the people of Scotland applied to the
Lexington agent of line of ocean steamers for
a ticket to Scotland, and wanted it charged TO
the Lord, since he was going on the Lords
business. These and similar instances Illus
trate the extent and absurdity of their hallucin-
alton, but when we learn that some Of the IA
natics are actually selling off their farms and
stock at half-price in order to get the necessa-
ry means to carry them on their wild mission TO
all parts of the earth, the affair has a serious
aspect, and shows the danger Of allowing relig-
ious enthusiasm to run away with ones rea-
son.
