of The Law.
When VIM. Trowbridge of Belding
was brought into court for sentence.
he having pleaded guilty to the horri-
bic crime of incest with his daughter,
The court room was crowded. When
Judge DAVIS ordered the man before
the bar and asked him what he had to
say before sentence was passed, the
only reply he made was that he would
ike to serve time at the Ionia prison.
His request. however, was not granted,
and he will spend the next Is years in
Jackson prison.
Before passing sentence Judge Davis
said the crime was the most henious
that man could commit. He gave
Trowbridge a severe scoring and said
he was not only disgrace to the com
munity but to any family, and he was
only sorry that the sentence could not
be longer, as the law was to limited
for SO lOathsome a crime. He tnereup-
on sentenced the man to 10 years hard
labor in the state prison at Jackson,

Claude Peifer who operated rip
saw at the Crescent factory, met with
serious accident this morning. He
ran his left hand against the saw but
can hardly tell how it was done, the
first he realized what had happened he
saw the severed thumb lying on the
machine table end and jerked his hand
away. The first finger was found to be
nearly severed also, and it is doubtful
whether il can be saved. 1t is consider
cd a wonder that he did not lose all
the fingers. DR. Griswold attended
him at the Bracket House and made
him as easy as possible Big Rapids

day night and is being attended by DIR.

OF nominating candidates for important
offices. Usually there is friction in the
contest, leaving soreness hard for
defeated candidates to overcome; but
there was nothing of this sort engen-
dered and the best of feeling prevailed.
Chairman Of the city committee,
Chas. M. Wise, called the convention
to order, stated its object and called
for the election of "a secretary. Chas.
Il. Cowdin was on motion elected, and
Elmer f. Fales was made chairman,
who appointed Fred King and w A.
Wilder tellers.
An informal ballot was taken for
mayor, resulting: +. c. Watkins, 50,
E. B. Lapham, 6, +. l.. Wright, 5, c.
NJ. Wise, 4, w. B. Reed, 4, Wood
Jackson, 3, c. E. Hills, 2, scattering,
10. A formal ballot was ordered but
before it could be taken, the sentiment
manifested seemed to be so unanimous
for Mr.. Watkins that the ballot was
declared formal and his nomination by
the platform aud made short speech
81 acceptance, dhich ne said was GER
tainly great surprise to him and an
honor which any man should appre-
ciate; ii had come to him entirely un-
sought and if elected, would endeavor
TO give TO the Office his best efforts in
serving the public. Economy was the
watchword Money was Ligh priced
and hard to get and commodities and
labor was cheap. He favored an
economical use Of the public monies.
His speech was loudly applauded.
The informal ballot for clerk result
ed: Chas. r. Cowdin, lbs, Frank Van
Pelt, 25, scattering, Z. 1t was declared
formal and Mr. Cowdin made the
unanimous choice of the convention.
The nomination for the Office oftreas-
urer was given to Will Day by acclama-
tion, as was also that OF school
inspector to Robert Mclaughlin.
After the election of G. M. Wise
chairman of the city committee, the
following resolution was introduced by
Alderman NJ. f. Peck
Resolred, That we recognize in Hon
Hazen ). Pingree, an enemy alike TO
trusts, monopolies and political rings,
and an executive of more than ordinary
ability; and we urge our delegates to
the county convention to use all honor
able means to secure the election Of
a 1Ata lgNl
will favor the nomination OF Mayor
Plngree Tor governor OF the state.
The moving OF its adoption by Mr..
Peck brought out little discussion
pro and con. Fred King, who stated
he was a strong Pingree man, objected
to the resolution as being untimely,
arguing that something might inter-
vene before the state convention, TO
change sentiment and considered it
unwise to place themselves on record.
d. +. Wilson thought that Pingreo
democrats, who were in the room,
should not be allowed to vote on the
resolution.
A. l.. Spencer took the platform and
favored an expression, but that it be
done by division Of the house. After
few remarks by L. b. Lapham, the
motion made by someone for a division
of the house was put and the sentiment
seemed to be so overwhelming that
Chairman Fales, amid rounds OF APP
plause, asked II the Pingree men
wanted the earth
A motion to adjourn then carried
and the convention separated to go
into W ard caucus

Fayetteville, Missouri.

Kansas City. Oct. 3O.-At Fayette-
vile. Generals Palmer and Buckner re-
ceived harsh treatment and for a time
violence was threatened. The party
was greeted by a bowling mob which
seemed bent on causing trouble from
the moment the train stopped. No
sooner had the two generals emerged
from the car platform than a Bryan
banner. bearing the inscription Fay
cite Democratic Club" was thrust into
Gen. Palmer's face by the bearer. A
citizen named Williams tried to urge
peace and the gold men rallied and
rushed the Bryan banner back. This
only made the disturbers more ugly. A
man tried to punch Gen. Palmer with
the flag pole and Williams seized it and
the crowd rushed upon him and began
beating him. The rioters then tried to
get at the generals and strike them
with the banners. Scores of men fought
bitterly around the car end; women
were pushed about and knocked down
and many blows were exchanged. An
old farmer climbed on the real end of
the car and shouted: You are carry
ing Missouri for Mckinley" He was
pulled Down by a crowd. After five
minutes of fighting, screaming and
footing Of horns the train pulled out
without the candidates wen attempting
10 make a speech. At other points
along the line the party was greeted by
respectful crowds and the remainder
of the trip to Kansas City was made
without incident.
