SEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL
MAKES SERIOUS CHARGE
Caroline Behnke Alleges That Harry
Holland Lured Her Into Barber
Shop and Mistreated Her

Charged with a felony the nature of
which is not stated in the warrant for
his arrest that was issued by Justice
Pierce yesterday, Harry Holland, a
barber, was locked up at the county
Jail last night.
If the story told by Caroline Behnke,
the 7-year-old daugn-er of A. H.
Behnke, is true, Holland will have to
answer to a very serious charge.
Caroline Behnke claims that she was
lured by Holland into his barber shop
last Saturday night and told her father
story of Hollands mistreatment of
her, so shocking as to cause the neigh
bors to rise up in arms and threaten to
tar and feather him.
The Rev. Dr. Windsor, pastor of st.
Luke's mission, was so enraged upon
hearing the story of the girl that he
placed himself at the head of a number
of men who last Saturday night formed
to drag Holland from his shop and
tar and feather him. A police officer
who saw the crowd and hurried to the
scene arrested Holland, but as there
was no warrant against him he was
liberated a few moments later.
Yesterday morning A. II, Behnke,
father of the girl, ordered the arrest oc
the barber, and last night he was taken
to Jail by Detectives Davis and
Roberds

CITY HALL NOTES

Acting on petition of a majority of
the property owners on the line of
Sunset boulevard. the board of public
works decided yesterday to recon-
mend to the council that the thorough
fare named be extended from its pres
ent terminus in the northwestern end
of town to Main street, the uniform
width of 100 feet being preserved.
The protest against the acceptance
of the street work on Darwin avenue
was argued before the board of pub
lie works yesterday at considerable
length. No agreement could be reached,
so the question was taken under ad-
Visement.
The first warrant for $3.50, drawn in
favor of C. E. Alexander. the garbage
contractor for extra collections from
hospitals, will come before the council
for approval Monday. Considerable
opposition to the payment of this
amount for the work done has arisen
and a discussion on the floor of the
council chamber Is expected.

fine IMPROVEMENTS
There Has Been a Lot of Them
This Year.
KNOXVILLE DAM DONE
New boarding House About Finished
AGss Plant. City Power House
and Many Dwellings.

The year which is fast drawing to
close will witness many substantial i'm
provsmsnts in the city and also healthy
growth in population.
The crying need of the city at the pres
snt is more dwelling houses for laboring
men that can be leased for a rental OF
from 81 to $1,000 per month.
There has been a substantial and
healthy growth in population this year
and every indication now points to the
fact that the 5000 mark will be reached
next year.
The dam at Kiddvle was completed
last Saturday by its owners, the Belding
Land & Improv ement Co., and is solid
structure built Of cement at cost of over
5000, sixty-five feet Of water gateway
has been put into the construction which
is considered adequate for allowing the
water full course in case of another flood
like the one experienced last June and
which carried away the dam completely.
Their are seven large gates and when
thsy were closed Saturday afternoon
full head of water about nine or ten feet
filled the pond before ten o'clock the next
morning
1t is expected by the contractors. Hunt
ley and Co. that the new boarding house
will be completed ready to turn over to
the company next week. The building is
a fine one Ii will accommodate 1875
girls and every room in the structure
from top to bottom is arranged with an
idea for convenience and comfort. In
tha basement is large room to be used
by the girls for gymnasium.
II will be furnished ready for occupancy
as soon as possiblel
Steam has been on at the gas works
for more than week and the building is
furnished with the very latest up-to-date
machinery and apparatus for manufac-
turing and distributing gas. 1t will be
only a few days now when it will be let
into the pipes for use by our citizens who
have their residences connected with the
mains.
Machinery is being installed in the
power house, the boilers have been set
and the large pumps will soon be ready
to 60 into commission.
Sixteen new dwelling houses have been
built this year in the sity at cost of
$4,000

WANTS BUSINESS MEN

GOV. Warner seeks Them out for
Responsible Positions.
The choice Of men by reason OF their
business records. rather than for any po-
litical prominence or influence, for the
controlling boards of the state institutions
seems to be characteristic of Governor
Warner. E. H. Foote of Grand Rapids,
appointed to the board of managers of the
Soldiers Home, is president of one of the
Dig furniture companies of that city.
Fred A. Washburn, placed upon the board
of trustees for the State Asylum at lonia
is stockholder and superintendent in
one of the big silk mills at Belding Geo.
w. Merriman, of the board of trustees for
jackson prison, is fruit grower of Van
Buren, county. Frank B. Leland of De-
trot and George w. Teeple of Pinckney,
the two non.p professional members which
the law authorizes upon the board Of
of trustees of the new state Sanatorum,
are both bankers. The other four mem
bers must be physicians. Peter Voor-
HES OF Pontiac, appointed upon the asY-
lum board stthat place, is prosperous
farmer, and Edward J. Murphy, appoint
ed to the same board, is president of the
Pontiac Buggy Company. Rola c. Tay-
lor, on the board of guardians for the In
dustrial Home for Girls. is a hardware
merchant of high business standing in
Flint. These are some of Governor War
ner's appointments which illustrate the
feature suggested. Few of them. if any,
have songht any political management or
political preferment, satisfied to discharge
their duties as citizens at the ballot box
and devote their energies to building up
business characters and careers for
themselves and business prosperity in the
communities

Belding High school added another vic
tory to their string, Saturday, when they
defeated Lowell in the deciding game
OF the series Of three by a score Of z to
6. The game was an exciting one
throughout and abounded in sensational
run and tackles Nash, Pinkney and En-
mons on the offensive for Belding made
the best gains, while the work Of Stanton
on the defensive was OF a high order,
time and again smashing the Lowell in
reference for loss. The work of Howe
at centre was also a feature. Morgan,
Lowell's stocky left half-back was the
most consistent gamer for the visitors and
made their only touchdown, while the
work of Buster" MeGee at full-back
proved him to be no common player.
Belding scored soon after the game
started, downing Morgan back of the line
for safety. Robinson scored the first
touchdown and Pinkney followed with
another, Robinson failing to kick both
goals and the half closed with the score
| 2 to 0 in Belongs favor.
Lowell scored first in second half, Nor

SOLD TO TRAUB
Wreck of Carriage Went ter Fifty
Cents.

Richard B. Cowes sold his old top bug
gy for fifty cents last Saturday. The
deal came about in manner not at all to
the liking of Mr.. Cowles. He drove into
town and htched his horse at Kuhns
and proceeded to take out portion of
stove he had brought up for repairs.
The horse took fright and broke loose
making quick run for the blacksmith
shop but missed it and turned into the
alley making a circuit around the corner
at Sandel's bank, bringing up at John
Dehn's corner with crash. The horse
slipped on the cement sidewalk and fell
flat, getting loose from the buggy and
breaking the harness.
The carriage was badly demolished,
every wheel being broken.

A HEAVY WIND
Visited This CITY and Vicinity Friday
Much Damage Done.

On Friday last Michigan was held in
the grasp of one Of the stiffest winds
that has been seen in the state in many
months and Belding and the immediate
vicinity was strictly in it as far as the
wind was concerned. Although TO serious
damage was reported in the city, there
was much damage done in the surround
ing country. Haystacks were uncovered
and scattered all all over the neighboring
country, and much damage resulted in
this manner.
During the heavy wind freight train
was running between this city and Green
vile, one car Of which, consigned to this
city was loaded with cement While
part way between the two cities the root
Of the car was blown off and landed in a
field adjoining the railroad track. The
car was brought to this city and all Of the
section men turned in and helped unload
it, to keep it from the damage that would
naturally follow the heavy rain that fel

get the old thing off the street with the
least expense when Adoph Traub, the
iron king Of Belding happened along and
offered him half dollar for the wreck.
Mr.. Cowles snapped up the offer in a

it so easily. The horse was not injured.

one year ago underwent an operation
for appendicitis This did not result
in permanent improvement, and II was
finally decided. after exhaustive exam
nations by his physicians that Sec
ond operation was necessary. 1t was
generally thought by the physicians
that il would reveal a cancerous con
dition Of the intestines near the head
OF the colon. This diagnosis was CON
frmed By the operation.
The operation from a surgical stand
point was a success The patient raj
lied splenddly from the shock and is
in condition that gives every promise
OF an early recovery from the effects
Of the operation. The ultimate recoy-
cry Of Or Harper Is a matter on which
the physicians decline to commit them
selves. but merely express the rea-
sonabe hope that the disease may be
checked"
II was found that DR.. Harper was
afflicted with carcinoma OF the pOste-
rior head Of the colon. and the disease
had progressed SO far that ii was found
impossible 10 remove all OF the dis

After the conclucion OF the opera

the direct declaration that DR.. Harper
was afflicted with cancer. while a bull

Drs McBurney and Beyan were OF the
opinion that the trouble was cancer.
DR.. Billings himself would express no
opinion
Ma apprehension was expressed as
to his rapid recovery from the opera
ton proper II was, however. decided
by the physicians that It would be
necessary to continue for some time
the medical and X-ray treatment.
DR.. Harper was under the influence
OF the anaesthetic for about two hours.

REVOLT IN CAUCASUS
Provisional Government Set Up Under
Lead Of Armenians.

Lead Of Armenisns.
St Petersburg. Feb. 23.-According
to mail reports received from Batoum,
racial disorders in the Caucasus have
developed into actual revolution in the
cities of Batoum, Peti and Kutais, at
the western end Of the Black Sea, un-
der the lead Of Armenians. who have
set up a form. of provisional govern
ment. Telegraphic communication has
been cut of for several days and 1t Is
impossible to secure direct conhrma-
ton OF these reports; but according to
one letter, the Armenian faction few
days ago succeeded in making prison
ers of most of the officials and shutting
up the officers and some Of the troops
in the barracks, and aided to some ex-
tent by reservists, in taking the reins
OF government into their own hands
1t is known that the semi-weekly
steamer service between Batoum and
Odessa has been interrupted, and until
telegraphic communication Is restored
information is only obtainable by way
of Constantinople.
The authorities here and others ia
miliar with conditions in the Caucasus
do not attach great Importance to these
reports, however, as this region Is In
continual state Of turmoil; and II II Is
true that Armenians have succeeded
in temporarily establishing themselves
in the towns named, 1t is no indication
of a general revolutionary movement.
but simply another manifestation Of
racial feeling between Armenians and
Tartars.
