Stampede at a Funeral.

West Branch was the scene of the
widest excitement on the morning of
the 10th. "A funeral procession was
moving along Main street, when the
pair of horses bring up the rear of the
long line of carriages, became fright
ened at locomotive which was stand
ing on the tracks near the street and
putting The driver lost control of
the animals and they started on mad
race through the procession. Other
horses became stampeded and began
running in every direction. A dozen
carriages were overturned and wrecked
and their occupants thrown to the
ground. All were more or less in
jured. When the panic finally SUBJ
sided there were only three carriages
left in the procession. A dozen pairs
of horses ran away, and the street pre-
sented a sight, the wreckage being
distributed over several blocks.

NEWSY GENERALITIES
ITEMS GATHERED FROM ALL
DIRECTIONS.
Attorney General Griggs Approves the
Findings and Sentence by Courtmar-
tial Of Capt Carter A Kentucky
= Woman Kavished and Murdered.
Atty Gen. Griges Scores Cant. Carter.

The opinion of Atty. Gen. Griggs in
the case of Capt. Oberlin M. Carter of
the army, upon which the President APP
proved the finding of the courtmartial,
was made public on the 5th After
dismissing certain of the minor charges
as unproven the attorney-ge takes
up the more serious questions involved,
first considering the objection that the
charges upon which Capt. Carter was
found guilty were homogeneous. He
says that unlike the ordinary criminal
procedure the military usage and pro-
cedure permit of an indefinite number
of offenses being charged and adjudi-
Gated together in one and the same
proceeding. The statement concludes
as follows: 81 am, therefore, led to the
conclusion that the courtmartial was
justified in its finding of guilty upon
the charges and speci 6cations relating
to contracts made by Carter in 1896,
and that the finding and sentence of
the court with respect thereto, should
be approved"

Supervisors Must Make Reports.

Supervisors will be interested in an
opinion given Secretary of State
Stearns by Atty. Gen. Oren on the 5th.
1t appears that some of the supervis-
ors do not take kindly to the duty of
gathering and reporting farm statis-
ties, and in several instances they have
wilfully neglected to do this work.
Secretary Stearns asked if alleged lack
of time or the fact that the law allows
no compensation for the work is a
valid defense in this regard He also
asked if the supervisor or the secretary
of state is the judge of the sufficiency
of the report required. The attorney
general says the law makes it the duty
of supervisors to make full and true
reports as to farm products, etc, and
makes it the duty of the secretary of
state to report failure to comply with
this provision to the prosecuting at
torney, who in turn is required to en-
force the penalty provided for failure
to make full and true report. Secre-
tary Stearns proposes to bring the of
Tending supervisors to time.

summoning of parliament set every
wheel of the government machinery in
motion. An hour after the Gazette

Lawrence, who has been paying at

supper was announced, Miss Myers
asked Lawrence for his revolver, tell
ing him she wished to try her luck
shooting cats. A few minutes later a
shot was heard, and as the girl did not
return to the house, her father stepped
outside to see what had happened, and
found that the girl was dead. She had
shot herself through the brain. The
cause of her act is not known.

An Important Case to Determine the
Rights of a Bishop Is Occupying the
Attention of the Supreme Court
Supervisors Must Make Reports.
Rights of a Bishop.

An important case involving the ten
ure of Catholic church property was
argued in the supreme court at Lam
sing on the 5th. The complainant in
the case is Bishop Foley and the de-
PENDANTS are members of the Catholic
church at Dorr, Allegan county. Some
of the mem bers of the church did not
agree with the remainder and proposed
to build a new church in opposition to
the bishops wishes, claiming that they
were the owners of the church prop
erty and had a right to build church
wherever they pleased. Bishop Foley
obtained an injunction restraining
such action on the part of the parish
toner's, but upon trial of the case in
the circuit court the injunction was
dissolved and an appeal was taken by
the bishop The decision of the SUI
preme court will determine whether
the bishop is the real owner in fee of
Catholic church property or whether
he holds it in trust for the benefit of
the church. The land upon which it
was proposed to build the church was
owned by the bishop as all church
property is owned by him, and it was
argued pretty plainly that the bishops
title is absolute. In case he should
make an assignment for the benefit of
his creditors all church property held
by him could be sold for his debts and
the only reliance which the Catholic
people have in the matter of church
property is upon the integrity of their
bishops. The outcome of the case will
be watched with interest by all
Catholics.
