receive a medal for heroic service, but It
was not for actual life saving in this case,
but for particularly gallant but unsuc-
cessful attempt to save life. When the
schooner William Shupe went ashore
above Fort Gratiot light during the great
storm Of May, 1894, young Lynn was on
the tug Thompson looking after marine
news, and this tug lowed the volunteer
life saving crew out to the wreck. At the
critical moment one of the volunteers re-
fused to go into the yawl, saying that
nothing could be done to save the crew in
such storm with an open yawl. Lynn
showed the stuff that he is made Of by
walking up to Captain Cox of the tug,
saying that he would take this volunteer g
place. The boat was pulled up to the tug
and Lynn was the first one to jump into
the boat "Come along, you fellows" he
said, There is no one living that can say
that the Lynns are not game The vol
unteer crew pulled to the wrecked vessel,
and was about to take the men of when
rolled over. They all tried to get back to
the boat, but the sea was so high they
could do nothing but endeavor to reach
the shore, about three-quarters Of q mile
away. Lynn was the only one to reach
the shore alive. He came in about one
mile below the wreck. The United States
signal office at Port Huron registered a
wind velocity of 81 miles an hour in that
gale just about the time that the volun-
teer crew set out. After the four volun-
teers lost their lives q special train went
after the government life savers at Sand
Beach and they arrived Later in the after
noon and took the crew Of.
So Mr.. Lynn did not succeed in saving
q life in this case. But the heroism of his
attempt none the less appealed to every
one who heard Of 1t, and citizens o. Port
Huron made q request for an adequate
recognition Of his gallantry by the govern
ment. The medal is being made at the
Philadelphia mint.

A crowd Of people numbering not less

lost because Of the scarcity Of judges.
It was almost 8 p. m. before the pro-

The forenoon was taken up with class
competitions Of the "actives," who made
a fine appearance In their gray uni

THE HORSE.TAMER.
Professor GleaSOn'S Exhibition Will
Begin This Evening.

Professor o. r. Gleason, the cele
brated horse tanner, will begin a horse
tanning exhibition this evening at the
New Pavilion, which is to continue
each evening during the week
Professor Gleason is known as the
king of horse tamers,'' for his success
in handling and subduing vicious and
stubborn brutes has been phenomenal.
Arrangements have been made to have
several horses that have successfully
resisted all attempts to subdue them
on hand for the Professor to try his
skill on them, and some very interest
ing experiments may be expected.
All persons having unmana BILE
horses are invited TO take them to
Professor Gleason's exhibition and he
will demonstrate that they can be sub
dued and made useful. Colonel J. F.
Irons of Dakota says of the celebrated
horse tanner:
Mr.. Gleason, the instructor of horses,
the conqueror of wild, vicious and
nervous animals, Is something more
than a mere horse trainer He is a
strong man, of magnificent proportions,
who has himself learned well the les
son that the first duty of a governor is
to govern himself. Strong of will, equal
in temper, calm and collected, Gleason
the Great'-alS the horsemen call him
governs with brains as we'll as with
muscle. There is neither cruelty nor
beating. With firm hand and cool
brain, this master controls the most vi
cious animals, and from a wild and
plunging chaos brings order and sys-
tematic action.
"Mr. Gleason shows how danger may
be reduced to safety, and how presence
of mind and a firm hand may save dis
aster under the most desperate cir
cumStanceS."

Immediately after court convened on

trict Attorney-elect T. r. Martin were

cial instructions as to the drawing of
the next jurors. Judge Lynch said they
should consult together as to how the
matter should be attended to-
This circumstance was especially
called into question on account of the
indictment against Sheriff Martin. as
there was some question as to the legality
OF the jury drawn for the present term

his case been continued.
