A SAD AFFLICTIONI

Gradually Losing His Mind.

mingham for Rest

IONA, Mich, March Sit is an.
nounced here with positiyeness that
makes Il almost ind disputable, that At
torney-GeHeral Trowbridge viii be CON-
PEELED 10 resign his Office, and with The
announcement comes q story that viii
cause sincere regret wherever General
Trowbridge IS known.
For several months past General
Irowbrldge's friends have noticed that
ne appeared preoceupied. IneoheTent
replies would be given to questions,
and in all respects he showed himself
to be IN great mental trouble. At first
1t was believed or hoped that rest would
restore Mr.. Trowbridge to his usual
health, but that remedy has not been
etticacous.
One day tais week Assistant Attorney
General j. =. Lee, OF Lansing, came
here and made a thorough investigation
of Gen. Trowbridge's Office and found
things IN a chaotic state. Great piles Of
letters referring to State matters, were
discovered IN Irowbridge's desk. Not
only had they been unanswered. but the
great bulk OF them had not been
opened. Gen. Trowbridge had never
made any reference TO his assistants rs
to these letters. Mr.. Lee will endeayor
to clear up the business.
In the meantime Gen. Trowbridge's S
friends have taken him in charge, and
he has been carried to his old home at
Birmingham, where he will have abso-
lutte rest and quiet. This may have 4
temporarily beneficial effect, but the
feeling is general that his mental
strength Is fast failing and that he is
lncurable.
:. V. II. Trowbridge was born in Oak
land county in 1855, and was graduated
from the University III 1876. He read
law with Justice A. B. Morse and was
admitted to practice III 1881. He was
elected TO his present Office two Years
ago. Gen. Trowbridge IS 4 grandson OF
the original :. Y. Il. Trowbridge, who
was member of the Third legislative
council III 1923.

ATHLETICS AT THE CLUB.
A Fine Exhibition of skill Given Last
Evening.

Evening.
The Owashtanong Climb athletic en-
tertainment last evening was fine e1-
hibition OF skill, although several Of
the regular participants were sick and
unable to be present.
The Jones brothers gave a fine exhi-
bition of boxing, as did also Messrs.
Buchanan and Sergeant. The chief
attractions were the wrestling ontests
between Hcrner and Sergeant, Greco
Roman style. The first contest was a
long one, and was won by Sergeant.
The second lasted about ten seconds.
and was won by Homer, and the last
was particularly long, and several times
it seemed rs if one or the other must 90
down, but Horner proved too full of
tricks for his opponent, and succeeded
IN laying him low.
George Dunton and Fred Stevens
then had bout at collar and elbow,
and Stevens succeeded in stretching his
man as fiat as pancake in about two
minutes.
The next contest was announced as q
Greco Roman wrestling match between

appeared they were greeted with roars
of laughter, for the pair of them would
hardly weigh ninety pounds. The little
fellows wrestled with wonderful skill, ,
and showed as much science as their
elders.
The entertainment concluded with
a tug of war between four members of
the Independent Athletic Club and
four Owashtanongers. 1t was won by
the former team, they having half an
inch the advantage at the end of three
minutes.

Mrs. Della Z. Grummond, of Chicago,
has interested Senator Mcmillan in her
behalf, and he has introduced q bill for
pensioning her at the rate of Sl5
month. She was the wife of Col. Geo.

petition accompanying the bill she
recites the fact of her marriage to Col.
Grummond IN 1856 when she was II

her with such cruelty that she was
forced to apply for divorce, after
living with him eight years. Col. Grum-
mond married again and soon after

children drew a pension until they
reached the age OF Is, and now she asks
to be placed on the rolls az Col. Grum-
mOnd' widow.
