Rural Free Delivery for Shiawassee
County In Solid Form.


On Saturday of this week, Col. G. V.
r. Pond, Rural Agent of the Post Office
Department, leaves Owosso after a stay
of three months, during which time he
has driven over nearly every mile of
road in this county, and many miles of
the roads in adjacent counties, with a
view to the establishment of what is
known as complete County Service of
Rural Free Delivery. The result of
this work has been the recommending
to the Department, that the County be
given the complete service as shown by
map designating the rural routes)
which is sent on with Mr.. Ponds re-
port. Of course the Colonel has no
knowledge of, and makes no expression
of any fixed time for this service to go
into effect, but judging from the action
cf the Department in other counties we
have reason to believe and hope that
sometime in September will see the
service in operation. The closing of
Col. Ponds work in this county makes
the 9Th Congressional District to be
the first district in this state having a
complete rural mail service in each of
| its counties.
In the work in this county changes
have been made in all but three routes
now established. There are in these
changes necessarily the change of pa
irons post Office address in some in
stances, but such change can easily be
made of slight inconvenience by an
entertainment of the feeling that in
order to give door service to others,
(now without) such changes were essen
tial. Col. Pond informs us that he
does not think there are to exceed so
families in this county who will not
receive door service of the mail and
when it is understood that a County
Service of Rural Free Delivery is not
meant by the Post Office Department to
be house to house service absolutely,
but only where it is in the Judgment
of the Rural Agent absolutely practic
able, it will be readily seen that the
ough in his efforts to give a complete
house service.

THIS ILLEGAL JUDGE
HAS mixed THINGS UP
Validity of ZOO Divorces in Question.
Status Of Disunionized Couples
Who Have Married Again.

DENVER, Col. July S.-The deeis-
ion of the State supren,, court that
Denver has never legally elected County
Judge Henry V. Johnson, nay result in
some interesting legal tangles.
During the past six months Judge
Johnson divorced 200 people. many of
whom have gone to Cheyenne, Wyo.,
Colorado's Gretna Green, and again
married, thereby avoiding the States re-
marriage law. Must children resulting
from these unions be legitimatized?
Numerous wills have been admitted 10
probate by Judge Johnson, many c.aIms
allowed against estates. Are these acts
inyalidated?
Take the case Of James Smitn. for
instance. When the judge declared the
bonds OF matrimony severed on his
payment of $4,000 alimony to Mrs.
Smith. naturally he looked on that part
Of his life as a closed tacid..nI He
proceeded to lay his heart and hand
and pocketbook. minus the afore said
$4,000, at the feet of Miss Alice Brown.
If he wedS Miss Brown he is q biga-
mist If he does not he will be sued as
a trifler.
How many Colorado couples are in the
same predicament has not yet been as
certained, but two score Is a low esti-
mate.

COUNT M|NICH'S HEIRS
Want A DIVISION
The Fortune, a Gift From Frederick the
Great, Consists of a6o,ooo,o 900
Marks.

BERLIN, July The Russian heirs
of Count Minich. who died during the
time of Frederick the Great, by whom
he had been presented with a large
amount Of real estate, have petitioned
the Prussian government for a division
Of the property among them.
The property is valued at 260, ,o00, 900
marks, and since the death of the
count had been administered by the
crown, because the Russian heirs of the
count could not obtain recognition in
Prussia.
Now the Russian government has
undertaken to help the heirs TO obtain
their rights and has furnished them
with all the documents necessary to
prove their descendancy.
1t is said that If the case is decided
in favor of the Russian heirs the Rus
sian government will obtain 4 large
slice Of the property as taxation in
SUGGESTIONS and legacies, and that this
Is the real reason why the government
has now taken up the cudgel for the
heirs for the first time.
