CONVICTED OF STEALING.
Frank Wickham VIII serve Ninety
Days at Detroit House Of Cor
rection

Frank Wickham, whose arrest was
mentioned in these columns last week
for appropriating to his own use a
harness belonging to Joseph Young,
had his trial in Justice Geo. w. Moul-
tons court Monday before a jury and
was convicted of the charge. Prose
cutting attorney w. X. Clute appear
ed for the prosecution, and II. A.
Hawley of Ionia was Wickham's at
torney. Mr.. Hawley made a desper-
ate attempt to work upon the sym
pathies of the jury and secure the re-
lease of his client but without avail.
Wickham's story of how he came by
the harness which was found in his
possession was that few days before
himself and wife started to drive out
in the country and on the road met a
man he did not know and had never
seen before, who stopped him and said
he had harness he had no use for
and wanted 10 know if he had any
thing to trade for it. Wickham said
he traded a watch for it and the man
turned and drove back the way he had
come and he (Wickham) turned and
drove back home. The story looked
so unlikely and no proof being offered
to substantiate it, that it only took
the jury about three minutes to de
eide that he was guilty of the charge.
Judge Moulton sentenced him to nine
ty days at the Detroit house of cor
rection, and he was taken there Mon
day by Under Sheriff Fales.
1t is not the first time Wickham has
been in trouble and it is understood it
is not the first time he has served
time either If reports are to be be-
lieved he is guilty of other offenses
which if he had his just desserts would
keep him in confinement for some
time to come.

Two Dnmnge suits.

The Pere Marquette railroad COM
pany has two damage suits on its
hands, both started in the Ionia cir
cult court the past week. One grows
out of the Lake Odessa railroad
crossing accident a few months ago,
when Nathan Hastings, who attempt
ed to cross with his lumber wagon,
was struck by the fast special carry
ing Susa's band from Grand Rapids
east. Hastings was badly injured,
and through his attorney, f. j. Adams
of Grand Rapids, asks $4,000 dam
ages. The accident occurred May Is
last. The second suit is brought by
A. O. Freeman, of Ionia, by his attor-
neys, Chaddock and Scully, and he
asks for $1,000 damages for injuries
received about two months ago. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Freeman board
ed one of the company's freight
trains. He was in the caboose, and
when the train came back and struck
it in coupling on, he was thrown and
injured about the head in striking
the car.

REUNION OF RUSSELLS.
Their Annual Gathering Held at
Baldwin Lake Last Week.

Baldwin Lake Last Week.
On August Sth the Sixth Annual
Reunion of the Russell family was
held at Baldwin Lake The weather
was fine and all came fully resolved
to enjoy the day and shake the cous-
ins by hand once more.
At II O'clock we were called to din
ner, prepared by the friends who live
in the vicinity of Greenville, which
certainly made us all glad that we be-
longed to the family, after which the
time was spent in renewing the fam
lily ties by recalling old memories of
bygone days.
At o'clock the business meeting
was called to order by the President,
Lyman Russell, the only one of the
second generation now left to us. 1t
was voted to hold the next meeting
at the same place on the second
Thursday in August, 1902.
Those present from a distance were:
Lyman and Eugene Russell of Luther;
Judson Loomis, Cadillac: Mr.. and Mrs.
Steele, ST. Johns; Mesdames Stevens,
Weeks and Specs, Howard City; f.
l.. Hillman and wife, f. II. Clark and
wife, and l.. M. Clark Ensley; Mrs.
Alta Atwood and daughter, Detroit;
Mr.. and Mrs. James Sanborn, Middle
vile; Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Rathbone,
Caledonia.
Then came the parting, which we
all so dislike, and yet the saddest
thoughts were that sickness kept
from among us our cousins, Mrs. w.
Olds and Winnifred Fales, saddening
our hearts in the midst of our pleas
ure and we can only hope and pray
that they will be able to meet with us
next year. T.. II. CLARK.

london, Aug. 2nd.

The coatless man puts a careless
arm around the waist of the hatless
girl, as over the dustless and mudless
roads in horseless carriage they
whirl. Like a leadless bullet from a
hammerless gun, by smokeless powder
driven, they fly TO taste the speech
less JOY by endless union given.
Though the only lunch his coinless
purse affords to them the means is a
tasteless meal of boneless cod with a
"side" of stringless beans, he puffs a
tobaccoless cigarette and laughs a
mirthless laugh when papa tries to
coax her back by wireless telegraph.

The new Hotel Callow at Ionia, is
a very neat, modern brick hotel built
on the site of the old Union Hotel,
and despite the location being pretty
well to one side will certainly become
very popular under the management
of its genial landlord Ted Callow.

Those holding mortgages bearing
dates previous to July /, 1901, and
who have not filed them for record,
with the hope of evading the stamp
tax, will be disappointed when they
file them for record. They will have
to pay the tax just the same.
