Last Monday morning Ed Riker. who
for a number Of years past has been the
faithful and efficient night watch of this
city, was stricken with severe attack Of
what the physicians claim was appoplexy.
A few minutes after five o'clock when
VIM. Wacha, baggage master at the Pere
Marquette depot, was going to hi work,
he heard someone calling for help. and
running up Pleasant street found Mr.. Ri
ker sitting in front Of George Crawford S
lunch room and very sick. Ed told him
to get DR.. Little as soon as he could, which
Mr.. Wacha FASTENED to do.
AS soon as the doctor arrived he decid-
ed that the best thing to do was TO get
him home as soon as possible which they
proceeded to do. A hasty examination
revealed the fact tn 1t he had suffered a
slight stroke Of appoplexy and remedies
were promptly administered. Tuesday
afternoon found the patient somewhat i'm.
proved and as we 60 to press hopes are
entertained for his recovery. although he
is still very sick man. Ed has host oil
friends here who hope that he may soor

GREAT EARTHQUAKE

san Francisco Severely shaken Many
Lives Lost, Damags Fifty Million.
San Francisco suffered an earthquake
shock Wednesday and the upheaval
throughout many parts Of the city worked
great devastation and death; large build
ings crumbled to the earth and fires we're
started which spread devastation in its
track. About one half Of the city is in
ruins. 1t is estimated that over S50,o00,-
600 in property has been destroyed and
fires are yet burning Hundreds Of liyes
have been lost and the panic stricken peo-
pie are many Of them leaving the city.
The first convulsion came at five o'clock
in the morning with terrific force and noise
and soon after buildings and blocks began
to fall. The water works and electric
system was put out Of business, adding to
the horror. 1t is The most awful calamity
that has ever befallen an American city.

ALMOST A RIOT.
Surveyor ID. &. Crawford Barely Es
capes Mobbing.

surveyor ID. &. Crawford Barely Es-
capes Mobbing
County Surveyor D. c. Crawford, Of
Ionia, father of George Crawford Of this
city, had an experience at Saranac Fri
day that he will not care to repeat right
away. IL seems that Mr. Crawford had
been in the vicinity Of Saranac doing lit
tie surveying and while on his way home
stopped at that place to water his horse.
While thus engaged he was surrounded by
a mob who took him for the engineer of
the new electric road and demanded
money due them, threatening to mob him
if he did not pay them
Mr.. Crawford called on Captain Clifford
to convince them that they had picked out
the wrong man and was finally allowed to
depart. The feeling in Saranac is very
bitter toward the promoters of the electric
road and unless the men get their money
before long there may be something doing
with those connected with the work Of
construction.

THE CARS WON'T RUN
On Electric Road This Summer,
Work on Line Suspended

Work on Line Suspended.
The prospects for an electric road from
Grand Rapids through Saranac to Beldng
and Greenvile very soon are not flatter-
ing according to dispatch from Sara
nae to the Grand Rapids Press. The
dispatch says:
Construction work on the Grand Rapids
& Iona electric railway. which began with
flourish last December. has been sus-
pended now two months This is the
road of which E. M Hopkins of Detroit is
president and Ex-Governor Rich is treas
urer. A shortage Of funds is said 10 have
caused the suspension of work.
Maj. D. Radford. the contractor. has
been east two months trying to straighten
out a deal with the International Con-
struction company OF New York city,
which was to take over the contract from
MIN and build the road. The road from
Grand Rapids to lonia and from Saranac
to Greenyille was to be built by October !
but the outlook isn't promising for its COM
pleton by that date. Mr. Hopkins, how
ever, denies the story and says cars will
run by December St

Concert In NlnY.

Miss Helena Stone who has been en-
gagged for a concert at the opera house
Wednesday May 9th is called the greatest
lady harpist in the United States. She
has played before the most critical audi
ences in America, and has never failed to
awaken the interest and enthusiasm. In
1898 Theodore Thomas sent for her and
assigned to her the position of harpist Of
the Chicago orchestra. The distinguish
ing characteristics Of her playing are a

VIII Try for Positions saturday.
The management Of the Belding Base
Ball and Athletic Association inform US
that the organization of the team is pro-
crossing in much better shape than an
ticipated and that Capt. Jersey will give
the boys try-out for positions Saturday.
There is considerable good local talent
for ball team here in Belding and as we
need the best to represent our city. it is
urgently requested by both the manage
ment and their captain that every ball
player in Belding or vicinity be at Ellis
Park next Saturday afternoon and try
for position. Belding should have a
good team this year and we think that the
efforts already made for our entertain
ment and amusement this summer, are
we'll worthy of the unanamous support of
our business men and citizens.
The management also wished us to
state that number Of outside players
have been secured, and-well it looks as
though there would be "somethin doin
in the ball line this season. Let the good

health officer, who has taken vigorous
steps to prevent the further spread
and to stamp out the existing cases. !
It is thought that the germs Of the
