Sad Death at Ashley.

The remains OF John A. Chittenden were
brought to Owosso, Tuesday for interment
in Oakhill cemetery. The death. which oc-
Cured Saturday In Ashley was very un-
fortunate and sad one. John acted as fore
man In his fathers stave mill, and shortly
before noon. Saturday his leg was caught in
fly wheel and was terribly mangled, be-
ing practically torn from his body. His
death occurred about an hour after the ac-
cident. MIR. Chittenden was young man
OF twenty-one. graduate of the Ashley
schools, man OF good habits and promis-
ing In every way. A feature which makes
his death doubly sad at this time Is the fact
that he was to act as groomsman at the
wedding of his sister, Miss Lois b. Chit
tenden to Charles r. Holman, of this city,
on the 25th. For this reason Miss Chitten-
denis parents requested that the marriage
take place before the funeral services, and
accordingly they were married Tuesday.

good that l want all who are suffering from

furnished amusement for large number of
spectators. In the first inning the Quar-
tered Oaks went to bat and pounded out
five runs, the Curly Birches following with
two. The second inning was uneventful,
while the Rigley's got up on their muscle In
the third and ran in eight scores, every man
except one scoring. The game lacked the
proper snap and the players failed to sup
port each other as well as possible on sever
