A brutal murder took place at Flint
shortly before midnight on July lst
John easier, well-known and re.
spected resident of the city, was as
saulted and robbed while returning to
his home He lived until about 6
o'clock the following morning, but did
not recover consciousness. easier was
down in the city during the evening.
He was alone when last seen. People
heard shots but paid no attention to
them thinking the reports were made
by firecrackers. Shortly after pass
erby found easier lying on his face
near the walk breathing heavily An
alarm was at once given. easier had
a bullet hole in the top and back of
his head, the ball having passed in and
downward toward the nose. Nearby
was Casters revolver, with one of the
cartridges exploded. There were evil
dences of rough usage on the murdered
man, one being n Jagged wound on the
scalp. Evidences of a struggle were
plain; Casters hat, crushed in, was ly-
ing some distance away, and in yard
was his coat. His pockets had been
rifled and considerable money taken.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK
IN OUR GREAT STATE RELATED
IN A BRIEF FORM.
Great Britain, Germany ana Russia Have
Agreed Upon "a Plan to Divide China
and Will Doubtless Garry IL Into
Eject Nine Lives Lost In Lake Erie.
Power. Agree to Divide China.

There is little doubt that secret
treaty has been made by Great Britain,
Germany and Russia concerning their
several spheres of influence" in China,
and that the partition Of the crum-
bling old empire among the European
nations will now go on without fric-
ton. 1t is suspected that France is
also party to the convention, al
though it is not positively known. At
any rate, the Frenchmen are to take
their share of the spoils, and Italy and
Belgium are to come in for smaller
slices. Russia has already occupied
the province of Manchuria, and has
1000 soldiers there. Germany has
5000 soldiers in the province of Shan
Tung, and, has recently demanded the
appointment OF German as adviser to
the native governor general of that
province. That is a long step in the
direction of permanent occupation, and
means that Emperor William intends
to to assume executive control over
that portion of China without further
ceremony.

Italian Deputies Engage In a Fight.

In the Italian chamber of deputies
on June 3oth the socialists and extreme
leftists recommended their obstructive
tactics and created an immense uproar.
The president of the house combated
the efforts of the structionists and
finally the deputies left their seats,
crowded on the floor and there was
such an uproar that the sitting was
suspended. When it was resumed
similar tactics were carried on by ex-
IRENE leftists, who crowded the floor
The tumult was deafening and event
ually free fight ensued and the sit
ting was again suspended. AT later
session of the chamber, despite the en-
treaties of the president, who begged
the deputies to be calm and proceed to
vote the uproar was redoubled, mem
bers flocking to the floor in front OF
the presidents chair and finally upset
ting the ballot boxes.

The total value of Che gifts at a re-

over two million dollars, representing
an income of over one hundred thou

crees that these gifts be reciprocated
at future weddings in the donors fami-
lies, the pecuniary consideration is
doubled. Marriage laws in Puerto Rico
have recently been reformed by this
government, and the onerous fees
which often prevented a marriage abol-
ished. Is there not room for a reform
