Asa Wood Sues John Bailey
for Injuries Sustained
Last June.
WINKEL GRANTED INJUNCTION
To Restrain City of South Haven
From Interfering With Win
kel Bros.

Asa Wood has commenced suit in the
circuit court for $1,000 damages against
John Bailey. This is the sequel to the
shooting affair in Decatur township last
June in which Bailey fred several shots
at Wood and then turned the gun on
himself, infiicting a painful wound in
the jaw. Wood claims that he was So
riously and permanently injured by the
shots from Bailey's revolver, and there
fore brings this suit. Bailey Is out on
bail pending trial in the circuit court
for assault with intent to murder. L.
A. Tabor of Lawton is Woods attorney
in the damage suit.
An Injunction was issued out of the
circuit court Monday restraining the
city of South Haven from interfering
with the Winkel Bros in the rebuilding
of their mill. The mill burned some
time ago and the city did not want the
same rebuilt as it was in the fire limit,
and alleged to be fire trap. A resolution
was passed, however, allowing the mill
to be rebuilt provided that a sufficient
bond be executed insuring the removal
of the mill from the fire limits within
two years. The bond was furnished and
it is alleged by the Winkel Bros. that
the city of South Haven still persists in
forbidding the erection of the mill and
on this showing an injunction was

The total amount of primary school

The recent action Of the col2cl
in taking the first steps towards a
$4,000 bond issue for pubi- in.
provements has aroused 81 much
interest and elected such gelsTa.
approval that The Gazette has in
terviewed Mr.. Bird. Of the City
Council in regard 20 the same and
the results viii. we are sure. be rcal
with interest. The following qles-
tons and answers VIII threw con-

600. or even q larger amount z You
know the Jaw allows IS per cent Oh

ed The Gazette reporter.
A. The council had two consid-
eradons in mind. First. the ability
OF the city 10 carry the loan. Now
the council has planned for 5O-year
bonds bearing five per cent interest
with a provision for ievying each
year an amount not only to pay The
interest but to lay aside an amount

Q. Why IS the ciry's income

Of Sl.25 be Increased. and waar is

A. I can answer these questions.
The present charter fixed the ta2,
rate at SIZ5. which IS above the
as1a. tax in towns of this size. This
being o natural consequence of tav-
ing SO long maintained a TOO -o,s
rate Of SO. IS. and 90 cents. I rer-
soaa-y no not think il tor the les,
