The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 18??-1882, 1882-02-24


The Estey manufacturing company arc
very busy just now enlarging their ca.
paclty for business, They have placed in
position the past week two new and costly
and have another on the road.
Mr.. Estcy says they received on Wednes
day, NJ their West Haven mill, over so
loads of logsand if the sleighing continues
for 10 DAYS he will get in million feet,
at all of their mills.
A widely circulated exchange says:
There are men who think il so great a
privilege for IA country editor 10 give them
4l6 large pages of good reading matter
for $3.50 that he will be glad To publish
gratis, all their wants and lilIle notices
that will benefit 40 one but themselves,
and some even have the cheek to do this
after they have stopped their own and
borrow of their generous neighbors"
Strange as it may appear to the in
teligent observer of the work done by
the National Banks to build up the bust
ness industries of the country. it is never
theess fact, that the Democratic Con-
grcss;onal caucus has decided to favor the
repeal of the National Banking law as
party measure, and therein has made an
other grevious Democratic mistake, as
they will learn when the people speak on
that question.
Nothing that has ever occurred in the
history of journalism in Michigan, has
been more pleasing to us, than the bold
independent and outspoken position of
The Post 81 Tribune in favor of law and
order, and against the policy of allowing
the saloons to keep open doors on the
Sabbath in violation of the State law.
We hope the public will appreciate the
work being done and that all true men
will stand 10y The Post e. Tribune in this
fight, and see to it that they loose neither
patronage or influence, as the result of
right doing.
Charley Clarke and his friend Sewers
started from Vernon Sunday morning with
a mule team, on their way to Bells Cor.
ners. The roads being very rough they
concluded to walk part of the way. and
had proceeded some distance when, the
mules taking in the situation at glance,
turned around, upsetting the vehicle and
started back to Vernon at lively pace
the boys after chasing them three miles
through the mud managed to head them
off. They have since come to the con
clusion that it is better to ride than walk,
especially if you have mule team.
There seems to have been several &C.
cidents among the wOrkmen at the Estey
Manufacturing Com pany's shops the past
week, which we note as follows: Mr..
Caille lost one finger on shaper machine
George Myrtle one finger cut off and two
mangled; Mr.. Ball, son of the foreman,
had all the fingers on one hand badly
bruised, and considerable of the flesh torn
from the palm of his hand. We suspect
these accidents are largely due to lack OF
attention to the business in hand, and
should teach us all that due caution, and
constant watchfulness are absolutely
essential to safety when working with
machinery.
We paid hurried visit to the brick
and tile works of j. e. Ii. Frieseke on
Thursday afternoon. We found one of
the proprietors hard at work filling up a
kiln of tile for burning. This firm last
year made 2,500,0 900 brick, but have not
one in their yards for sale at this time,
though this morning they received an or
der from Mason for $4,000, which they
could not fill. They made during the
last season of the different sizes about
800, 900 tile, and of these have reasona-
bic supply on hand for sale. During the
coming season they expect to largely in
crease their business, perhaps doubling
that OF 1881.
A busy place is the furniture manufac-
turing establishment of the White Bros
and they are turning out some good
work, that would be credit to any es-
tablishment. This week they have sent a
car load of extension tables to Detroit,
and have thee or four car loads on hand
to be shipped soon. Just now they are
filling an order for Messrs. Granger &
Chittenden, of Burlington, Iowa, to con-
sist among other things of 1000 breakfast
tables, 500 extension tables, 1000 bed
steads, and 80 each ash and maple suits
One car load of these goods are now at
the depot for shipment, and the balance
of the bill aggregating between seven and
eight thousand dollars will be shipped as
rapidly as possible. Besides they have
sent two car loads of bedsteads to st.
Louis, Missouri.
The sad news reached this city on
Tuesday that Samuel Marshal, who was
accidentally shot in the leg at lumber
camp near Gaylord, a short time since,
had died from the effects of his wound.
His remains, accompanied by his sisters,
Mrs. Sitter and Mrs. Kcyte, who after the
accident had gone to his relief, arrived
here on the evening train of the same
day, and were escorted by delegation Of
the members of Owosso Lodge, No. 49,
l. o. o. F., of which Lodge the deceased
was an honored member, to the residence
of Mrs. Sitter. The funeral was held
yesterday under the direction of the Ode
Fellows. Rev. Mr.. STARTS made some
appropriate remarks at the house, aftel
which services were held at Christ Church
