The following are the particulars OF
the death of Julius Brandt, at one
time employed as foreman on the Jay
farm at this place. Brandt left here
for Traverse county several years ago
and took up his residence in the town
of Walls. On Tuesday afternoon he
went over to attend tosthe grinding OF
some feed, failing to return for some
time his wife became alarmed and
sent neighbor in search of him and
after time his lifeless body was dis
covered on the platform above the
feed mill. It is supposed that the
unfortunate man went up on the
tower to oil the machinery, and the
heavy canvas coat which he had on
had caughtin the gearing and wound
up in such manner as to draw the
collar tight about his throat and
cause death from strangulation. His
face and wrists were frozen, showing
that he must have been dead some
time before discovered. Deceased
leaves wife and six children.

On Monday woman named Mrs.
u. +. Powers, at one time nurse at
the Metropolitan hotel and during
the fall the nurse in charge of the
case of scarlet fever at the pest house,
was arrested on charge of petit
larceny. Some of the property in use
at the hospital was missing, and the
marshal, armed with search warrant,
began looking among the effects in
the house occupied by Mrs. Powers,
and found not only a part of the
goods wanted, but lot of property
taken from the Metropolitan hotel,
some of it being goods that was
missed by the proprietor, and other
stuff that they had not known had
been stolen. Mr.. Noting at once got
out warrant and had the woman
arrested, and she was found guilty
and sentenced to fine of $1,000 or
ten days in the county Jail. The
goods recovered were one bed spread.
one table cloth, one dozen NAPKINS.
six spoons, two forks, and one napkin
ring. 1t is strongly suspected that
this woman has been pilfering from
various places in town, and that she
has sent the goods away. 1t is
learned at the depot that there was a
box or trunk full of goods shipped off
by her to some one of her relatives.
and an effort will be made to trace the
matter up. Mrs. Powers has a SAC
county order due her for service as
nurse, but would not pay her fine, non
would she agree to leave town,
although Justice Gillespie offered
her an opportunity to do SO rather
than send her to Jail.
