Az opES LETTER To rHs SrArE's Arronery
Mr. Posey,

An opEs LETTER TO rHs SrArE's Arronery
Mr. Posey,
Ny dear Strive are impelled
by sense Of duty and for the protection Of
our village and homes against the drunken
and lawless people who congregaie at the
whiskey shops and in our streets, night after
night, to inquire If there is Constable in Of
See for this district? II so, who is he and
where does he reside2 Surely we are at the
mercy Of the lawless element some from this
village and many others from surrounding
country. Only short tue since, a quarrel
and disturbance occurred in our streets by in
toSieated colored men and when white man
attempted to quiet them, be was abused, re-
sllting in a Magistrates trial, ining Of two
Of the men and the other now held for the
Circuit Court
One night last week our village was dis
turbed, and some OF us aroused from our beds
by disorder, loud and improper talking and
shooting in our streets As the election draws
near, it gets worse, and We request that steps
be at once taken FOR our protection, and for the
apprehension and punishment of the lawless.
1t is alleged that money is used for political
ends, to treat and excite the drinking class.
Surely il any law-abiding, peaee-oving aud
principled voters kHoW such to be fact they
will not vote for any candidate or leader, be
Of what party be may, who does such thing
The affairs of government gould be no safer
in his hands than in the hands OF bis dupes.
We would further inquire if there is 10 law
for TIE apprehension and imprisonment Of the
iuebriate2 If there is, we think it may, upon
inv stgation, find application here.
Believing, Mr. Posey, that you endeavor to
do your duty as trusted officer, regardless
Of party affiliations and having evidence iha
your action and that Of the GrAud Jury last
fall in furnishing some of the lawless ones did |
make temporary improvement 10 their con-
duet here, and being satisfied that personal
appeal and kind enireaty ia upavsiIing we
appeal to you 10 stir up under officers to vigi- |
lance and prosecution.
Be it said to the credit Of Nr. Medley, our
that cases brought to bis know
ledge, receive his official attention, aud he is
by no means lenient with the guilty; but We
are persuaded that many cases escape bis
notice, as be resides several miles from our |
village With only purpose for the public
welfare, am, respectfully yours,
Citizen

Last Saturday witnessed tn

Last Saturday witnessed the
beginning of the third chapter
of the Blooming Valley Serial,
the former two chapters having
been given by our Blooming Val
ley correspondent. 4 short sy-
nopsis of the story as reported
BY said correspondent follows:
4 young man intended to marry
a young woman. The young
woman suddenly concludes to
marry young man No. :. After
the wedding, No. 2 which had
been transferred to No. |, went
to work building house to put
his heroine ia, but when the nest
was finished the bird had flown.
The next we hear of the story IS
in the beginning Of the third
chapter which opens with the
appearance Of the deputy sheriff
and asst. state $ attorney ia the
Valley Of Blossoms, at the early
hour Of sunrise. They visit the
home Of the young man who was
at first No. / but who, by the mar
rage Of the girl to the other fel-
low, had become No. ,, placed him
under arrest charged with taking
and urlaWfully detaining anoth-
er mans wife, complaint being
sworn out by the young woman $
husband. The next scene is III
the court room where the defen-
dant gives bonds to appear at
said court room on the following
Monday, when No. | would,
accompanied by the wife IN
question, be present and show
how the taking and OBTAINING was
done. Monday at the given hour
all parties concerned together
with court and council We're con
gregated and after about two
hours Of questioning and cross
examining the wife, court ad
iourned till Tuesday when fur
ther testimony was taken ane
the arguments made. Motion
was made by council for defen
dant to dismiss the case. Motion
was overruled and the defendan
bound over to the next term Q

Esi. Fire.

When the train pulled i'll
Thursday p. n. word was re-
ceived that Ortonville was on
fire. The HERALD ADVANCE
Immediately sent reporters to
the scene and they found things
fully as bad as reported, al
though not in the same portion
of the city as We at first heard.
On entering the city at $50 p,
m. everything was confusion,
but one glance was sufficient to
show that the fire had done It's
worst, and what was bat Il few
hours before, q solid block, the
occupants of which was doing q
thriving business, now lay III
ashes and nothing but smok-
ing ruins. The fire started
in an upper room in the building
of VIM. Geier in which some
small boys had found some
shavings and one Of the Lads con-
ceived the idea that a bon fire
would be about the thing and he
proceeded to build 1t. Another
lad. Willie Mcdonald, son Of DR..
Mcdonald gave the alarm
but by this time the fire had re-
ceived such headway that it Was
discovered from the street.
Every effort was put forth to
stop the fire but all to no avail
The flames leaped from one
building to another until the en-
tire block facing main street was
was one solid blaze of fire.
The loss and insurance as es-
timated by the business men IS as
