Capt. Isaac Bassett, the venerable

Capt. Bassett spent lis entire

Capt. Bassett was born in Wash

father was Simon Bassett, who came
there from Milford, Conn, and his
mother was Irish by birth. He was
q protege Of Daniel Webster, who
procured the appointment for the
boy, when he was II years old, as a
page. During the subsequent sixty
four years OF service he became mes
senger, and finally assistant door
keeper or assistant sergeant at -arms,
the latter two offices being identical.
His duties practically embraced the
overseeing Of the housekeeping OF
the senate, the seating Of members,

"Curley" Crawford was arrested at Mt.
Pleasant, Tuesday, on complaint of Fred
Edwards, charged with obtaining money by
false pretenses. Crawford borrowed SS7. 90
from Edwards and gave chattle mortgage
on two horses, neither of which 1t is said he
owned. Since then he has disposed of the
horses or refuses to state where they are.
He also purchased from j. j. Days his
mare Jennie b., 2:29, paying $50 and CIV
ing chattle mortgage for $3.50. He took
the horse with him when he left Owosso
and Mr. Davis is unable to get any trace of
her and Crawford so far declines to give
any information. Crawford was taken be-
fore Justice Byerly this morning for exam
ination but the examination was adjourned
until the 10th.
The following taken from an exchange
is very applicable to Owosso: "The pres
ence of immortality and the tendency to
loose morals among the young people of
any community is fruitful source of public
danger. Through ignorance or slack of
proper home restraint. hundreds of young
girls In every community are, it is asserted,
being led astray and started on the down
ward path. Scores of young women rang
ing from IA to Is years of age, walk the
streets after dark prey to the designs of
men. The police of every community can
do no better public service than to order
these Young girls TO their homes If thav
have any; and the parents are not half per.
forming their duties to the chiden if they
do not exercise sufficient discipline to COM
pei their daughters to remain at home
nights. Such looseness of conduct with its
disastrous results, is public danger"
