cused OF having obtained millions Of
dollars by selling worthless mining
stocks, will not appear before Recorder
Con- in general sessions court today,
when he was TO have been placed on
trial on an Indictment for grand lar
ceny based on the complaint Of one Of
his victims.
Every possible step is being taken TO
get some trace OF the man whose name
was mentioned in connection with the
death OF Theodore Hagaman, whose
widow afterward married DIT Walter
L. Delabarre. His lawyers have been
communicated with. and they admit
they have not seen DR.. Flower for
more than ten days and that several
letters which they had sent to him had
not been answered
DR.. Flower is at liberty on $4,000
bail, put up by Mrs. Cornelia Storrs,
widow Of former Deputy Comptroller
storrs. Assistant District Attorney
Garvan says she lost 100000 In the
Inrique mine and 100000 in the Blue
Ridge mine, with both OF which DIT.
Flower was connected. When the doc
tor got into trouble, however. she was
the one who made II possible for him
10 stay out OF Jail. 1t is said she has
no security from him for her bond.
She owns a large amount OF property
in this city, but lives In Connecticut.
Should the doctor fail TO appear for
trial the bail bond viii be forfeited
and $4,000 will be added to the $780,
600 said TO have been lost already
through him.
Case Has Cost Thousands.
The Flower case has cost the county
thousands OF dollars. Commissions
have been sent 10 Montana, Wyoming
and Washington to take testimony as
TO titles to certain properties, and wit
nesses from those states are now ar
irving for the trial.
There are FIVE complainants against
Or. Flower-one for each indictment.
They are Herbert A. Buttrick, Alden
Selmans, X. c. Woodruff, S. TreadweIl
Woolley and Mrs. Belle Gray Taylor.
He is accused Of grand larceny in hav-
ing fioated the worthless bonds. The
complainants bought the bonds on a
promise of per cent a month, which
was paid for awhile. II Is said Flower
asserted the company owned mining
lands in the northwest that II did not
own.
AS result of DR. Flowers troubles
George Edward Mills, a lawyer, is
serving a sentence for having attempt
ed to buy the indictments against Or.
Flower from Detective Sergeant Brind-

CONSIDERABLE BUSI-
NESS TRANSACTED

The city council met in regular
session on Tuesday evening. Mayor
Nash presiding and quorum of alder
man present.
Considerable business was transacted
in business like way. The request
to extend the six inch water main to
the Grand Rapids Lumber COmpany's S
plant was rejected, also the petition
presented by Rev. w. A. Peterson,
Rev. Meilicke and Rev. Putnam ask
ing that Sunday games Of base ball
and other Sunday sports be stopped
was laid on the table.
4 petition was presented which
was signed by parties living in the
vicinity of the fair grounds asking the
council that they allow no fence to be
put about the property of the city.
The matter vas referred to The COM
mittee on general business.
A resolution was adopted granting
the band the sum of $50. per month
Cor which they were to furnish semi
weekly concerts as heretofore. The
entire city is greatful for the concerts.
They furnish an evenings entertain
ment to all classes; they are rest to
the tired worker and an educator to
the entire community. II is not
question as to whether we can afford
this luxury for We cannot afford to be
without it. 1t meets the hearty
approval of every body. Our band is
highly appreciated and is improving
at each concert.
Mayor Nash then referred to the dam
age cases against the city commonly
known as the Lyons and Duncan cases.
These have been through the circuit
court. carried to the supreme court
and then sent back to the circuit
court. for new trial. 1t was the
| mayors opinion that the cases could
| be settled cheaper out OF court than
by having them tried over again. In
order to see what could be accom-
plished along this line he recon-
mended that a committee be ap-
lpointed to confer with the interested
parties and discover what settlement,
if any, could be made. II was moved
and carried that Mayor Nash, Alder
man Hill, City Attorny Gaynor and
Attorney B. r. Goggins be appointed
to act as such committee.
I The committee on sewers made q
report and recommended the exten.
sion of sewers on Baker Street on thu
east side and on French Street on th,
/ west side. The report was adoptet
with instructions To commence the
! work.

KILLS LARGE BEAR
Frank Ulch Kills Largest Bear
Ever Seen In This Section OF
the State.

One day last week Frank Ulch,
settler located along the Little Rice
river about 13 miles north of here,
killed the largest bear ever seen in
this section Of the state. Mr.. Ulch
was taking little stroll short dis
tance from his home looking over the
hay meadows, when suddenly he was
startled by queer noise and looking
about to see from where it came he
noticed the tall grass. only short
distance from him, waving back and
forth. and Immediately prepared for
an emergency. Mr.. Ulch carried a
3O-3O rifle, but to make himself more
secure and to get a glimpse of what
was cunning toward him, he climbed
nearby 'wind-fall" and then got
good view of a large black bear He
succeeded in killing the bear after
firing two shots, both of them pierre
ing It's head. After being dressed the
meat weighed 320 pounds. Tom

FIRE PROTECTION

The Wisconsin river flowing
through the center of our city aivid-
ing it in two equal parts has it's
advantages and it also has it's
disadvantages. Take the history OF
almost any town that is blessed with
a large river and subject to an ice jam
at least once year, and there is more
or less trouble to be encountered with
the water mains for it seems to be a
fixed habit of the migrating ice TO
plow deep grooves or burrows in the
bottom Of the river on it's annual
round up each spring.
Big Rapids, Michigan, is divided by
the Muskegon river and for twenty
years logs and ice have insisted on
sinking to the bottom of the river as
soon as they reach the city limits and
with monotOnous regularity each
spring plow up the bettom of the
river with no regard and less respect
for the water pipes. But we do not
need to 20 out of Wisconsin to find
many such examples for the Chippe wa,
Wisconsin, Fox and Wolf rivers
furnish many. These facts within
themselves are not so peculiar. But
when we look over the history of these
towns and find the most destructive
fires they.ever experienced come just
before the repairs on the water pipes
were completed. We are led to ask if
our splendid fire companies could give
"a good, warm blaze on the west side
a cool reception at the present time.
