under which it is claimed the expendi-
ture was authorized and if any one has
been guilty of an offence under our law
you may indict such person.
If the supervisors of this county in
the face of the statute forbidding the
expenditure of more than one thousand
dollars in any one year without the
vote of the people authorizing it, have
used the public moneys intending to
avoid the statute and have spent more
than one thousand dollars year be-
yond the amount authorized then each
member of the board of supervisors so
intending to defeat and avoid the
statute limiting their power and who
by act with that intent and purpose has
caused the public money in excess of
the amount voted by the people and
the one thousand dollars each year dur
ing the construction of the court house,
in addition thereto would in my opinion
be guilty of a circuit court misdemea-
nor and may be indicted therefor.
The public money must be spent for
those things and those only for which
the tax by which money may be raised
may by law be levied.
The law does not permit the raising
of money under legitimate name and
then permit it to be used for a purpose
for which it would not allow tax to
be spread.
In conclusion, Judge West said:
"You may investigate such cases of
liquor law violation as are brought to
your attention. Remember, also, that
you are the investigating body; on you
and on nobody else rests the response
bility of making this inquisition sue
cess. If you desire it, the prosecuting
attorney will attend your sessions and
examine witnesses; but you are not to
overlook the fact that you, and not
the prosecuting attorney, are the in
vestigating officers. 1t is not his duty
to bring witnesses.
Get the truth, whether it satisfies
public clamor or not"

Grand Jury at Work.

Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock
Judge Howard E. Weist, of the Ingham
circuit, called to order the twenSy-three
men who had been drawn as grand
Jury to investigate matters in Shiawas-
see County which are thought to have
been done unlawfully.
The Judge asked if all were citizens
of the United States, and finding they
were, asked if any wished to be excused.
Four responded as follows: Batus Sny-
der, of Hazelton, because of ill-health; !;
r. S. Olcott, of Perry, because of poor
hearing; Thomas Hagan, because of
business reasons and Luther Loucks of
Venice, because of ill-health.
He then asked if any We're contractors
or sub. contractors ON the court house
and e. w. Beardsley, of Owosso, re-
sponded in the affirmative; A. B. Crane,
OF Owosso, responded affirmatively to
the question whether any were connect
ed with the letting of the court house
contract and A. A. Frain, of Corunna,
stated that he was brother.in-law of
Clark D. Smith, chairman of the build
ing committee.
Recess was then taken and upon be-
ing called to order the four jurors who
requested it were excused and the three
were also excused who had responded to
the questions asked, for good and suf-
ficient reasons but without casting any
reflection on any of the three gentle
men," The remaining sixteen were then
sworn in by twos, the Judge taking no
action for the filling of the places made
vacant. The jury, therefore, consists of
sixteen men. The charge to the jury
which appears below was then given
and the body retired to elect officers,
Thomas Cooling, of Vernon, being
chosen chairman and Geo. T. Campbell,
Of Owosso, clerk. 1t was decided to sit

pneumonia, which developed last Satur-
day night, following an attack of grippe
which began two weeks ago. Her death
was a great shock to the doctor and
nurse who thought she was doing well
and would be able to overcome the dis
ease, but the strain was too great and
her heart failed suddenly. Mrs. Osborn
was 90 years of age and came to Owosso
fifteen years ago from Akron, Ohio, soon
after the death of her husband, who
was brother of Walter Osborn. She
was sister of Mrs. Walter Osborn and
Mrs. w. E. Collins was her only childq
No other close relatives SURVIVE her.
Mrs. Osborn was an earnest and con-
sistent member of the Episcopal church
and loyal worker in all departments
Of church endeavor. She was also a
valued member Of the Eastern Stars and
the Ladies Library Association. Her
presence and help will be much missed
by these organizations. Personally she
was much loved by large circle of
friends and neighbors being ever cheer
full and helpful.

evening, Dec. 13, to hear a practical
talk on missionary work, when Mr.. B.

speaker and will bring message which
will certainly appeal to all who hear
him. The address VIII be given in the

To be a valet to a beggar sounds an

An equally odd and cruel profession
has been followed by an East End man
IN London for the past twenty years.
He buys bad meat, and doctors it up
in such a fashion that it will pass

He carves off all bad portions of a
joint of beef, and washes what is left
with solution Of permanganate of
potash. This has the effect of remov-

meat to pass muster until some poor
woman has taken it home for dinner.

ADRIFT IN A
GULF STORM
GRAPHIC PEN PICTURE OF EX-
PERIENCE OF CAPT. PICKETT
DURING RECENT HEAVY
WEATHER.
(Analachicola Timesl

During the recent heavy weather on
the Gulf, Capt. Jas. R. Pickett, of Car
rabelle, had some rough weather ex-
perience that he will not soon forget.
Captain Pickett is bar pilot and the
rough weather found him in the gulf
alone on the pilot boat he having ven
tured out for short cruise when the
weather was good, in search of any
vessels that might be bound for the
port for cargo. The bad weather
caught Captain Pickett some distance
from shore, and being alone. he was
at disadvantage in coping with the
rip roaring breeze that sprang upon
him, although he met it as few men
could have done. His vessel was
partially dismantled by the gale of
wind that came roaring out of the
northwest, lashing the waves of the
Gulf to frenzy. The waves grew
higher and higher, the wind whistled
through the rigging, while the blind
ing spray dashed over and upon the
gallant little vessel in a tceaseless
rain, as the advance guard, so to
speak, Of the huge waves of green sea
that followed. At times the vessel
appeared as dim speek silhoueted
upon a mountain side of green; anon
as a thing of life in valley surround
ed by tall cliffs whose crests topped
and rushed down upon it's prey with
maddening, sickening roar that
made the heart stand still, with the
hand grasping out in a mad clutch
for something-we know not what
only something to beat out with
strong force on and upon him. And,
midst cracking spars and ripping
canvas and crashing seas, Captain
Pickett kept cool head, steady
nerve and an eye that did not waver.
And well for him that this was so.
Miles from land, upon a tempest-toss-
ed sea. with a disabled vessel as his
only safety, he met the conditions
and conquered them; not alone, how
ever, for vessel sent to him from

ROAD
TO ORMOND BEACH
MAY BE BUILT FROM ST. Angus
TINE, WHICH WILL GREATLY
BENEFIT THAT CITY.
Isl. Augustine Record.l

While st. Augustine will never be
a rival of OrmOnd for the great auto
races. there is a probability of this
city becoming a station through which
the majority OF the machines will
pass in going TO and returning from
the scene of the races. Certain par
ties who own property on a proposed
route from Ormond to this city have
been approached TO learn their views
respecting an auto road between the
places designated. The proposition
provides for building a bridge across
the inlet at MatanZas. This bridge
will connect the two beaches and
give an uninterrupted road from the
beach at Ormond 10 this city. Very
little, if any work viii be required on
the road, as the beaches are hard and
smooth the entire distance at low tide
and there is already a carriage drive
way across Anastasia island at the
only place where the beach is i'm
passable 10 autos.
The inlet is. about 500 feet wide at
the point where the structure is pro-
posed. but the current is very strong
and if the bridge is built it viii nee
essarily be of exceptional strength, IS
the strain upon il viii be enormous
when the heavy weight of the ma
chimes and current are combined.
The people of this city generally
viii be probably sounded upon the
proposition, and If possible their as
sistance viii be secured if the pro-
moters decide TO proceed with the
plans.
Not only would this road be used
by the automobiles. but bicyciists
would find il very convenient for
spin down the beach. II would 10 a
great extent solve the good road ques-
ton for automobiles from this point
south and bring scores of machines
