The Body of Mr. Brass Found in . Cellar

Ine BODY OF mr. Brass round In Ceiiar.
On June 10 last Milan Brass mysteriously
disappeared. IL was suspected that Mrs
Brass and Jas. Craft, her paramour,
had killed Brass, and they were arrested
for his murder and held for trial. "A
thorough search was made for the body,
but it could not be found. 1t was found
Aug. % buried in a root cellar near the
Brass house in Missaukee county. The
officers put up Job on Mrs. Brass and
Craft by getting friend of theirs to call
on Craft in JAIL visit with him and tell
him that the sheriff had said he could see
them as much as he liked. He then offered
slyly to carry letters for them. Craft
wrote long letter TO Mrs. Brass about
the murder Offering TO own up and claim
that the killing was in self-defense and inn
plicate himself only. He rather laughed
at the thorough search that had been
made for Brass's body, saying it was
buried too deep in the root cellar TO be
found. A copy of this letter was taken by
the sheriff and the letter then sent to Mrs
Brass. Others passed, making the evidence
against them sure. Search was then made
in the cellar with the result as already
stated. There is high excitment in Nor
wich and the prisoners have been taken TO
Cadillac to avoid Iynching.

A farmer named T.. Mcguire living near
WILLIAMSON was recently approached by
an agent of the Crawford, Williams d
Henry seed company of Napoleon, o., who
tried TO sell MIN bonded wheat lie
showed n certificate from the secretary of
the state of Ohio, stating that the company
was organized under the laws of that
state and that they had cash capital of
100000. Mr.. Mcguire wrote to Ohio and
below we give the answer he received:
DEPARTMENT or STATE.

r.. Mcguire, WILLIAMSON, Mich.
Dear Sir-The company you speak of is
incorporated; il is also a swindle of the
worst kind Our legislature has passed a
law making the operations of their agents
penitentiary offense. The certificate of
the secretary which they are using to
swindle farmers is partially forgery.
Very truly,

This should be said in additions A com
pany may comply with all the require
ments of law to get their certificate, and

The certificate only shows that they are

after fruitless endeavors, she entered the
clubhouse, but could not see him in the
