Society Ladies IN a Mule Case.

Robert Bowles, of north Dewey street,
owns a mule, and Joseph Moinette,
one of his neighbors, owns garden.
These two facts furnished the basis for
much excitement this week. The mule,
which has shown fondness for the
garden belonging to its owners neigh
bors, capped the climax by improving
the time during its owners absence
Sunday to eat up all the good stuff it
could get hold of in Moinettes garden.
Moinette thought the beast needed a
rest and started out to take it to the
pound, and was on his way thither
when a new feature entered into the
case.
On Exchange street near the resi-
dence of Mayor Hume, Mr.. Moinette
and the mule met Mr.. Bowles and the
latter attempted to obstruct the pro-
gress of both the former, but eventually
was retired from the field by his long suf-
fering neighbor. AS luck would have
it three of Owosso's best known ladies
witnessed more or less of the fracas, and
when the matter got into Justice Nc
Caughna's court it was decided to be
necessary that these ladies should be
called upon as witnesses Accordingly
subpoenas were issued for Mesdames
A, M. Hume, c. j. Matthews, and r. j.
Brown.
The ladies, however, found out that
they were to enjoy the great distinction
of acting as witnesses in mule-dam-
age-trespas- assault t-and-battery case,
and knowing that they would never
hear the last of it decided to bluff the
matter through with the best possible
show. Accordingly on Wednesday
morning half hour before Bowles, in
the case of the People VS.. Bowles, was
to be tried for assaulting Moinette, the
three witnesses appeared in court and
proceeded to make themselves at home.
The Justice, however, had much more
company than he had bargained for,
since besides the three witnesses good
sized company of ladies present quite
overwhelmed the worthy manipulation
of the scales of justice and compelled
him to retire in confusion. Among the
ladies present were Mesdames |. G.
Curry, d. M. Christian, G. w. Detwiler,
H. A. Beach, ID. r. Salisbury, H. L.
Clough, K. P Bigelow, Mary Salisbury,
j. L. Walsh, G.. b. Radford, j. l.. Ash,
w. S. Hunt, l. H. Keller, G. X. Black,
S. S. G. PAippen, and Misses Flo Web
ster, Mable Mack, Winnie Beach and
Bessie Mott.
When the case was disposed OF
Bowles paid the costs and probably
will not attempt to thrash another man
who is leading his obstreperous mule tc
the pound; Justice McCaughna paid the
costs-of the refreshments-and will
probably not summon the above ladies
again as witnesses in a mule case; and
the ladies endured the heat, enjoyed
the fun, and are the only ones willing
to have it all tried over again; while
the mule still "hankers" for more vege
tables.

KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
John Youngs Received Current From ;
Guy Wire Saturday Evening.

John Youngs Received Current From
Guy Wire Saturday Evening.
Saturday evening shortly before
eight O'Clock John Youngs, young
man of twenty-three who lived with his
mother at 40S. Corunna avenue was
shocked and almost instantly killed on
the bank,of the river near the old elec-
trio power house, no one else being
present except w. j. Corners, another
young man and friend of his.
The accident was caused by Youngs
getting current of high voltage from
a guy wire which he grasped and
against which it seems probable that he
threw himself with some weight.
Whether the guy wire was already in
contact with the live wire or whether
Youngs succeeded in crowding against
it hard enough to rub off some old in
sulation and thus complete circuit
may never be known and so far as
Youngs himself is concerned it makes
little difference. In either case the re-
suit is the same, the shock received
from the guy wire caused his death.
The company claims and the verdict
of the coroner's jury supports it in
the claim, that the guy wire was
properly insulated from the live wires
and that it was only after the unfortu-
nate young man had thrown his weight
against it and cut through the insulation
that current could pass from the live
wires onto the guy and thence through
his body to the ground.
A coroner's jury was impaneled by
Coroner Geo w. Loring and the inquest
was held Monday morning in Mr..
Loring's office The jurors were Geo.
B. Symes. Lawrence f. Gould, Fred
Ross, Fred Van Dyne and H. Garrison
and the verdict was that Youngs came
to his death through his own negligence
and that the Owosso & Corunna Electric
Co was in no way responsible for it.
The young man had lived in Owosso
or Ovid and vicinity nearly all his life.
He leaves mother, brother and a
sister. The funeral was held Tuesday
morning at st. Pauls Catholic church,
Rev. FIR. Slane officiating.

Foresters' Memorial Services.

whence shall we find bread for these
men to eat?" was the text from which
Rev r. o. Cooper addressed the Owos-
so lodge of the Independent Order of
Foresters which attended services at
the Episcopal church Sunday morning
in body. Among the principal points
in his address was the following: The
personal interest in the physical well
fare of the men with whom he came in
contact was one of the striking traits of
Christ who often ministered to such
wants. This example of Christ should
be followed more generally today for
the good of the people, 1t is said that
the religion of Christ is not popular to-
day with the masses, but if true this is
only because the masses do not thor
oughly understand it. The sooner too
they come to understand it, the sooner
will the social problems of today be
solved, for as soon as all, initiating the
example of Christ, begin to think Of the
welfare of each other, burdens would
be lifted and all would be made hap
pier. If capitalists and the leaders in
industry and society would realize this
and, like Christ, associate with the
rank and file, all social questions would
quickly be solved and all would be at
peace, each working for the interests Of
the other. Fraternity, the watchword
of the order of Foresters, is admired by
all true christians who rejoice to see its
good work. 60 on. All have share in
and are rightly proud Of the good work
done by this fraternity, but do not
make the mistake of letting it supplant
the ehurch instead of supplementing it,

EVERYBODY NEEDS THEM.

Folks say to me sometimes that they
don't see how find enough people to
keep me busy. They should think
everyone who needs glasses would be
supplied after while. That in the
course of year or two would have
nothing to do. There is no possible
danger of that. No person in the
world ever lived to the age of 55 who
dad not at some time during those years
need glasses. Maybe it was during
childhood, maybe in later years, may
be all the time. There are many peo-
pie OF that age who have never worn
glasses, but that does not signify that
they are not or were not needed. The
eyes would be better and stronger all
through life If the glasses had been
used. II every person in Owosso who
actually needs glasses would have their
eyes looked after promptly / would
have to keep number of assistants
constantly would have more than
could do as long as ! chose to remain
in the business.
