! A number of people who burn gas all
night experienced some very uncomfortable
sensations Tuesday morning after awaken
ing to find their lights out and the gas es-
Gaping from the jets IN the rooms. 1t seems
that for some reason the pressure was remov-
ed from the mains and of course the lights
went out at once. The pressure was put
on later with the above result. 1t was for
tunate that no fatalities occurred.
Both Owosso lands won favorable COM
ment from the Detroit papers for their work
Wednesday evening on the city hall square
playing to an audience on the Campus
MAJ thus. The Junior band received just
and by no means stinted praise, while the
work of the older band, the Owosso City
Band, was very highly commended. Judg-
ing also from the remark made by as good a
musical critic as Owosso has ever had, who
heard the Owosso bands play while march
ing through the streets, Owosso need have
no fear for her reputation wherever either
band goes.
Considerable curiosity was aroused by the
discovery, Wednesday, OF the skeletons Of
several human beings on the Hopkins farm,
near the lake. The graves were In an old
mound which was being graded down and,
as no white people we're ever known to be
buried there and many Indian arrow heads
and other stone Indian relics have been
found in the immediate vicinity, the sup
position naturally is that the bones belonged
to members of some one Of the Indian tribes
which formerly inhabited this region. The
most of the bones were crumbllng but some
were quite we'll preserved.
