was told that the money would not be
turned over until she brought In some
one who would identify her. In few
minutes she returned with a welh
known merchant. When he was ques-
toned he said that he knew that she
had called for bundles addressed to the
woman whose name appeared on the
bank book, Further than that he
could not identify her. Mr.. Benner
finally charged her with attempting TO
obtain money under false pretenses.
She was threatened with arrest. This
did not alarm her in the least.
"Wcll, to tell the truth, perhaps l was
doing wrong. | should have told you
in the first place that was the wo-
mans niece. She wanted me to draw
the money for her and forgot to tell
you who was" she said.

day morning the woman who owned
the bank book called at the bank. She
said that the woman who had tried ~

The woman has not returned to her

CITIZENS WILL FIGHT.
Object to Sale Of their Property
for Back Assessments.


A Marquette dispatch to the De-
troit Free Press states that twenty
four residents of the city have given
notice that they will contest the
sale OF their property for back
special assessments for sidewalks,
streets and sewer. The cases will
come up at the February term OF
circuit court and will furnish the
first opportunity to test the validity
OF new provision which was en-
grated onto the city charter at the
last regular session of the legisla-
ture. This permits the city to
spread unpaid assessments for NUM-
cipal improvements upon the tax
roll, and IL they are not then paid to
sell the property that is delinquent,
the same as il state or county taxes
had not been paid. Some OF the
rolls on which collection is thus
sought to be made run back ten or
twelve years. The total amount
owing on them was originally about
&C. 600. but since the charter amend
ment was secured half OF the assess
ments have been paid. The part OF
which the fight viii be made rep
resents about half Of the balance.
