"Joanna's Perfection" This COW is mag
nificent specimen of the breed, weighing
1,51O pounds, has a milk record of Ia, 9S7
pounds in 335 days and her milk has tested
four per cent butter fat. The calf weighed
1876 pounds when dropped Dec. sth; on Jan.

pounds; Feb. 9th, 226 pounds; Feb. sth,
232 pounds. The youngSter will be regis
tered as Klondike and it has been suggested
that If he continues to grow as fast for the
next three years as he has during the past
two months that he would do to hitch onto
the court house and draw the same over to
Owosso. Mr.. Gillett expects soon to pur.
chase some heifers of the same breed and as
he will buy nothing but the best stock il
would seem as though he intended to build
up model herd. He will also breed O. l.

Ground to Pieces.

On Sunday last Willie, the fourteen
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Her.
man, who reside on Martin street, met
death in manner which ought to be

ishment by few days confinement in
jail might learn small boys that they must
not attempt to steal rides ON trains. The
railroad companies nave certainly done all
that could be expected to stop the prac.

With a number of other boys Willie
was playing near the Ann Arbor track on
Chapman street when a freight going
north approached Willie told the other
boys that he was going to catch ride,
and despite their warning, attempted to
grasp the ladder on the side of the car and
in just an instant was ground TO pieces
under the car wheels, the train going some
distance before being stopped. The boys
parents and Coroner Monroe were at once
summoned and the horribly mutilaled re-

Monroe empaneled the following jury: F.

One of the institutions OwOsso is proud of
is her schools. That we have good reason
to be is shown by the frequent visits of lead

who come here to observe the methods in
vogue. Believing that these visitations are
a good thing, the schools were dismissed
last evening and the teachers to day are
visiting schools In neighboring cities as

"Of the several schools / have visited
