The quiet of our little town was broken
Wednesday. On the arrival of the freight

stepped off the train, by Deputy Sheriff Re
tan. Dave was i'm no humor, being filled
with "Owosso bug juice" and was ready for
skirmish. He did not propose to go with
Retain, therefore the Sheriff proceeded to
put the Derbys on David. He was not like
David of old who wept for joy, our David
wept bitter scalding tears of remorse, and
his lamentations were simply immense. He
repeatedly called for Lizzie, (the woman who
was with him), to take the bracelets off, but
she cared not They had a busy time in
getting Root into the buggy. The last ac-
count we had of Root, he was tied with a
rope, verify he is worse than believing
bull. We learn the arrest was made on COM
plant of Mr.. Wilcox who claims Root
threatened to kill Wilcox and family.
When Root is sober he is hard working
man and not quarellsome but when whisky
is in manhood is out Why would it not be
good plan for some of the Owosso officers
to ascertain where Root got his liquor and
make the seller smart as well as him who
drinks. Root is habitual drunkard. L
supposed we had law forbidding the sale
of liquor to such persons. Let the dealers
i'm Owosso and West OwossO beware! This
matter has stirred up quite feeling, and If
they continue selling to such persons they
should be made to taste the bitter as well as
