They are trimming up the trees on
north LaGrave street. If this idea
could only become an epidemic and
spread all over town it would add much
to the beauty of the place, besides giving

air and light Trim up the trees to one
grade or uniform height should be the
slogan of our genial President Decker.

Edison Woodmau, died at Grand Rapids,
Tuesday night. Mr. Sherwoods ; death
was caused by horse rearing and fall

the horse department of the west Michl-
gan fair, and on duty at the time of the
accident. Mr. Sherwood was promi-
nent citizen of southwestern Michigan
aud held the office of treasurer of Ber-
rien county. Few men had a wider cir

funeral was held at Three Oaks, his
place of residence, Thursday and was
largely attended.
Another wreck OF the Pere Marquette
was the news received last Monday
These occurrences happen SO frequently
that unless the affair comes near home
but little attention is paid to the matter
But this time it happened on the S. H.
a r. branch, a portion of the road that
our people have always been more or
less financially interested in. The wreck
resulted in the death of Engineer Cor
man and serious injuries to two passen-
gers, VIM. Stevenson and II. Z. Cutter,
both of Chicago. Mr.. Stevenson was
seriously and perhaps fatally injured
while Mr. Cutter received a severe scalp
wound. The rest of the crew escaped
with slight injuries. All sorts of rumors
are rife as to the cause. and until an in.
vestigation is made we shall withhold
comment on the accident. This much
however, we feel it our duty to say, that
these frequent wrecks should engage the
attention OF the railroad commissioner
in order that the wanton loss Of life and
property be stayed.
