three or four shots were fired.
When the reserve police finally restor-
ed order Robert Ross was found lying on
the ground with pistol wound in his
head and William near by fatally hurt.
Several others were in bad shape. many
being pounded until their faces we're
unrecognizable. On the other side of
the street was Bait Shea. democrat.
lying dead in the gutter. The MalIoy
men claimed the 81 OTIS were fired by the
police. who admit using clubs and re-
volvers. but the bystanders say pistols
were drawn before to police took a hand
in the fight.
There are six candidates for mayor.
The present incumbent, Dennis Whelan,
indorsed boy wing of republicans. and
Thomas Malloy. the regular democratic
nominee. are the leading candidates.
Feeling runs high, and allegations of
fraudulent registry are being freely and
openly made.
II is understood that Bait Shea him
self did the shooting. and waa in turn
shot 10y one of the Ross brothers. Shea
was a notorious character.

MISNEAPoLIs. March A scene Of
the widest excitement and terror was
enacted yesterday afternoon in the rooms
Of the Commerce and Commission com
mission company. when Attorney b. b.
Clay, who had been operating exten-
sively, became greatly excited and pulled
revolver on Manager Clarke.
Clay's deals had not been entirely sat
isfactory and when sugar went up II
points he was wild He showed re-
volver under the nose Of Manager Clarke
and demanded the money due him.
Clarke said there was no money due,
but offered to give Clay check for slOO.
He went into the vault to get check
book and slammed the door after him,
leaving Clay on the outside. The latter
began waving his revolver and every
body on the floor made wild break for
cover.
Clay, after clearing out the place, de
parted without offering to shoot. 1t
was fully half an hour before anybody
released Clarke from the vault.

THE SECRr TERY BIRD.
The Cool Manner In whirh Ii Kills a Snake,
It, Natural Prey.

The CcoI Manner In vhirh 1t Kills a Snake,
IT, Natural Prey.
As soon as the secretary bird, or
snake eater, Of South Africa discovers
make, il advances toward il without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance il Immediately
elevates it, crest and the feathers of the
neck, and without losing any time de-
lvers a blow with its foot. If the snak 2
has avoided the blow and attempts to
strike back. the bird interposes a wing,
thus receiving the deadly fangs harm
lessly upon the long feathers and i'm
mediately strikes again.
The fight is then virtually over, for
if the secretary gets in single blow
the snakes back is broken. and the bird,
lightninglike, plants its foot firmly on
the reptiles neck and head. pressing
them into the ground, while it delivers
the coup DE- grace with its beak. and
then deliberately swallows the snake
whole. beginning at the tail, and just
before the head disappears, giving it an
enthusiastic parting rap on the ground.
But there is nothing refined about the
secretary birds appetite, for one writer
says he found inside one three serpents
las long as his arm / lizards Z
inches long. 81 tortoises about 2 inches
in diameter. besides large quantity
of grasshoppers and other insects, or
in other words. ~ feet of snake, !.
of lizard. 3 !, OF tortoise and say yard
of miscellaneous trifies.
The secretary bird is protected by the
cape authorities for the immensr public
benefit il confers in eating poisonous
snakes. and a penalty is attached BY
law to its destruction. And if it were
necessary hundreds of eyewitnesse,
could b called to prove its right to the
title of serpentarjus. Curiously enOngh.
too. this bird may be trained. and Is
trained, to protect poultry yards. not
only from snakes. which are too fond of
eggs, but from other birds Of prey. st.

The careful examination of vital sta
that the average duration Of human life
has been increasing during the past two
centuries. But this does not necessarily
imply that larger number of people
now reach the age Of seventy, eighty. or
even ninety than in times past. 1t means
only. that. taking thousand persons at
random, the average ageSDf each at death
exceeds that OF the same number OF per-
sons generation ago, yet less people
in a thousand now reach the age Of sixty.
Two causes may be assigned for this.
One is that hygiene and ph ysical culture
are now better understood. and the NOR
tality among children and young people
is much less. The other is. that the
strain upon people in middle life who
are doing the worlds work is much
greater. owing to the increased compe-
tition and the rushing methods Of bust
ness. These conditions cannot be
changed. but IL one would live long there
must be seasons of relaxation or vaca-
tion. Perhaps the best way to spend
such season is to travel to new scenes
and acquire in new ideas. Railroads are
the means Of travel, and among them all
none will take you in more directions or
make the journey SO safe. speedy and
comfortable - the Burlington Route.

The use of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duced new and novel industry requir-
ing workmanship of the finest charac-
ter. The stick for this purpose is re.
quired To be of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being roughly
shaped is split longitudinally from end
to end: the center of each of the halves
is then followed out, and a greater or
Less amount is removed, according to
the intended location of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length of
the spar, great care being essential to
have them follow the taper of the out
side of the spar exactly, to insure uni
form thickness at every point-ot course
when this has been done and the two
halves of the spar replaced in their
original position, circular hole Is left
in the center of the spar, running neal
ly the whole length, and following Its
taper from end TO end. After this the
two halves are fastened in place again
by means of wooden dowels, which fas-
ten the split together, being placed al
ternately on either side of the central
hollow, and both dowels and split are
carefully glued These dowels vary in
size with the size of the spar, but are
usually as long as they can be made
without piercing its outside surface.
They are placed slightly nearer the CEN
ter hollow than the outside, in order To
give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice. but in large ones metal bands on
the outside are added.-New York Sun.

At Rest.

Mrs. Lawrence Martin died at her
home three miles southeast of this viii
lage Thursday morning at 2:30 of heart
failure. Funeral from the late resi-
dence at 10 n. m. tomorrow; interment
at Oak Grove cemetery.
Amanda G. Lovely was born in Jessup,
Susquehannah county, Pa, Dec. 25th,
1928. May 2Sth, 1S46, she was married
to Lawrence Martin. Three children
were born to them-A. G. Martin of
Paw Paw, n. o. Martin of Lawton, and
Myrou Martin, who died in his boyhood.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin came to Michigan
in 1856, and for thirty years past have
lived upon the present home farm.
Deceased has been in delicate health
for the past five years, but has been
able most of the time to be about and
direct her household affairs. Last
Tuesday she was feeling especially
well, and walked about the yard, en-
loving the warm sunshine and the
songs of the birds. Shortly afterwards
she was attacked with vomiting which
continued throughout the day and most
of the succeeding night-simply pre-
lude to the inevitable end which came
as above noted.
About four o'clock Wednesday after
noon she was discovered TO be rapidly
failing. A. G. was hastily summoned
from town and found his brother N. o..
already at his mothers side. Both were
in time to catch the last feebly whis-
pered word the last loving pressure of
the hand; the last look of recognition
and she who had given life to them had
yielded up her own.
A faithful and devoted wife and
mother; loyal friend; kind and gen
erous neighbor-gone to her reward.
