JeweIs Which Require Care.

Owners of jewels should remember
that if turquoises are wet they are APT
to lose color. Pearls should be exposed
to light and air as much as possible,
but not to damp. Opals must never be
exposed to great heat, or they may
crack and fall from the setting. Don't
forget this when warming your hands
at the fire if you happen to wear an
opal ring.

Company Want an Air Line Route
To Saginaw surveyors
at Work

For some time the Pere Marquette
Company have had in contemplation
the question of an air liue direct from
Grand Rapids to Saginaw and for
that purpose are now running levels
through Kent county west of this city
Such line in accordance with sur
veys already made would leave out
Belding and also Grattan Centre. The
Grand Rapids Herald says;
"Pere Marquette surveyors have
been at work for some time in the
northern part of the county. 1t is
said the building of new road direct
from this city to Greenville is con-
templated, the purpose of which is to
shorten the line to Saginaw. The
route planned would run from Mill
creek northeasterly to Greenville and
would shorten the distance to Sagi.
nav considerably from this city. The
present route is around by the way ot
Lowell and Belding to Greenville."

FOR WRONG DOINGS
Frank Chapman COurted The
Grim Destroyer, Death.
CUT HIS THROAT AFTER ARREST
Real Name Is Frank Green of Milwau-
kee-GirTs Mother Got After
Him and Caused Arrest.

Saturday afternoon about 5 O'Clock
telephone from the power plant at
Whites bridge was received by M. A.
Reed to send doctor out to Henry
Fashbaugh's quick, as a man in his
employ had attempted suicide by cut
ting his throat, and bleeding to death.
DR.. Penton of Smyrna was the near
est physician to the scene of the
tragedy and he drove there at once.
The facts leading up to the tragedy
are as follows: A few weeks ago a
fellow known in that vicinity by the
name of Frank Chapman went to
John Garduer's accompanied by lady
whom he introduced as his wife. The
man had worked for Gardner four
years ago and was quite we'll known
in the neighborhood.
A few days later he went to Henry
Fashbaugh's in Keene to work on the
farm, the woman accompanying him,
little thinking that in a few days she
would be one of the foremost charac-
ters in a sensational drama. Chap
man is not the mans name. He is
Frank Green, but has used the former
occasionally for convenience and at
one time gained somo notoriety as a
pugilist at Stanton, where he once
lived. He was married there and has
two children. A year or more ago he
went to Milwaukee and there made
love TO good looking girl and she
fled with him to Michigan on prom
Use, so she claims to marry her. The
couple arrived in Greenville on their
way TO John Gardner's near Smyrna
where they run out of funds and walk
ed TO Belding. For some time the girls
mother in Milwaukee has been trying
10 locate the pair and sheriff Fales and
the Stanton officers were put on the
case and succeeding in rounding them
up at tFashbaughs.
Saturday afternoon just about sup
per time the sheriff and another Off
Ger from Stanton drove up to the
house and while they were talking
with the girl Green went into the kit
chen secured Mr.. Fashbaugh's razor
and slashed his throat three times
Mrs Fashbaugh was in the room but
did not know what he had done until
after she had called his wife at his re-
quest
Green told her that he was done for
and asked if she was ready TO fulfill
her promise to die with him. She OBJ
jected to having her throat cut but
said he might shoot her, at this he
fell to the floor from loss of blood.
Fortunate for him he did not cut the
Jugular vein he lost lot of blood
and when DIR, Penton arrived he
quickly sewed up the wounds.
The girl says it was made up be-
tween them to die together if they
were caught. She has been taken to
Jail and he was also removed there to-
day on cot.
