The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1896-01-10

Some novel experiences are met with In
this world. An attorney of this city relates
a strange case as coming under his own per-
sonal observation only few days ago.
While busy at work in his Office one morn
ing the door opened softly and there stood
before him a lady, apparently of fair intel
ligence, and passaby we'll clad, and about
40 years of age. He babe her be seated
and inquired what he could do for her. She
said she resided I'm Durand and had come to
Ow0ssO to see lawyer about an important
matter. She went on to say that few days
before, and without her consent. her hus-
band had sold her to neighbor for a con-
siderati0n of fifteen dollars, and that she
had been getting ready for the transfer, I'M
til day or two before some neighbor had
questioned her husbands right to make such
a sale. She had supposed that the sale was
all straight, but in view of what her neigh
Dor said, concluded that she had best con-
suit lawyer so as to be on the safe side.
For few moments the disciple of Black
stone was at a loss to determine whether he
lived In the 18th or 10th century, but the
fact that his client was citizen of his own
county, where the schOolmaster has been
abroad 10 these many years, finally dawned
apOn him. We can hardly conceive that
such ignorance could exist right here in our
own county, IN the last half OF the last de-
cade of the 10th ceDtury.
The houses of several of,our citizens were
made the objective point for providers last
night. Mrs. Retain discovered party look
ing into the window of her house on the cor
ser Of Exchange and Hickory streets. She
saw at least two parties. One was seen
looking into the windows of the residence of
of o. f. Webster, opposite Mrs. Retains.
AT the residence of Il. e Travis on East
Main street, as his brother came in from the
electric light works, between ten and eleven
o'clock, an unknown party came out from
the narrow alley between his residence and
the house east of him. Mr.. Travis accosted
him and he said he was looking for party.
Al the residence of s. Dondero, AIS Com.
stock street, a party was seen near win
dow, and afterwards tried the side door and
came up onto the front porch from which
he was frightened away. One or more
parties were seen about the residence of
Noses Keyte There were evidently two or
more parties In the gang, but their move
ments hardly indicate them to be profess
SIGNALS. So far as we can learn no depreda-
tons were perpetrated.
