WAS ARRESTED ON
SERIOUS CHARGE
TO HAVE TAKEN IN
DECENT LIBERTIES WITH
CHILD.

Albert McDougal was arrested some
time ago on a charge of being drunk and
disorderly, and on his plea of guilty was
sentenced to 10 days in the county Jail
His time expired last Monday morning,
and as he was preparing to leave the
Jail, he was again arrested on a charge
of having taken indecent liberties with
one Myrtle Erblaman, child eight
years of age. He was taken before
Judge Kilefer, where he demanded an
examination which was set for today
Bail was fixed at the sum of $500, and
being unable to furnish the same he
was taken back to Jail. The crime is
alleged to have been committed while
intoxicated the night previous to his
ii st arrest.

County Treasurer.

Treasurer Allen has made complete
schedule of cases in which fines have
not been turned over to the county, in
the different Justices courts as follows.
Justice f. r. Cady from April 80, 1902
to June y, 1903; Justice w. w. Holmes
from July II, 1904 to Nov. 20, 1906; JUS
tice W. G. Bessey from July 5, to Sept.
II, 1906; and Justice A. 4. Ketchum
from July 5, 1902, to July 20, 1904.
The total amount aggregates the neat
sum of Sll3l.50. The detention of these
sums, comes through a misunderstood.
ing on the part of the city officials in
regard to the law.
The law relative to cities provides that
fines collected shall be turned over to
the city treasurer, but the General Laws
provide that such fines shall be paid into
the County Treasury. The County pays
the expenses of the prosecutions and
should receive the moneys derived from
the same. 1t is not known what action
South Haven will take in the matter,
butt is presumed that they deem the
demand just and equitable an dwill pay
the amount of said fines to the county
treasurer.

A CLEAN THOUGH
SMALL CIRCUS
Hales Fire Fighters Gave a Per-
Torrance in this City as
Scheduled Thursday Afternoon
and Evening.

Contrary to the broadly heralded re-
port the Hale Fire Fighters presented
an orderly, and creditable performance
IN this city last Thursday afternoon
and evening. AS advertised they gave
small, though creditable street
parade, and every number of the pro-
gram provided in the circus tents near
the Lincoln school building. were all
that they were advertised to be. The
circus was unfortunate, however, in
being billed a head of the other and
larger show, as it is a natural conSe-
quence that the people in general will
wait for, the big show" However,
the cry of flake" and an undesirable
crowd" were unfounded so far as their
performance in this city was concerned
and the police department. state that
there never was circus in the city
that caused less trouble than the
Hale's Fire Fighters.
Chief Hale, joined the show in this
city in the afternoon, coming here
from Chicago, where he has other
business interests. In a conversation
with him shortly before the show
Thursday evening, he stated that
legal proceedings had already been
instituted against one of the news
papers in this state for false and
libelouS statements.

ALL is READY FOR THE
EXTENSION OF The GLAD HAND"
The Fourth of July Celebration this
Year will Eclipse all Previous
Celebrations, and Create
Longing i'm the Hearts Of
Visitors for the Next In
vitation to Grand
Rapids,

Perhaps there never was a
time in the history of this city
when greater or more thorough
preparations have been made for
the celebration of the Fourth of
July, than has been made for the
one this year. The start was
made early, and from the open
ing of the campaign, not mo-
ment or opportunity has been
neglected to provide a long to be
remembered program. At the
outset the aid of the ladies of
the city was enlisted and they
have taken hold of the matter
with no hesitancy, and much
vigor.
The Floral parade will be one
of the most handsome and at
tractive numbers on the whole
programe, and it is already GER
tain that a large number of the
best carriages in the city will
participate, and along with the
others the children who are in
terested in horses Tor ponies)
will be out in full regalia. The
prizes that have been offered for
the best decorated carriages are
large ones, and well worthy of
consideration, and while the
spirit that animates people to
get in line is mostly a patriotic
one, the winners will be we'll

to which they have gone. The
Johnson & Hill Co., have re-

flowers, in all the attractive
shades, and they are furnishing
these flowers to those who will

interested to call and see the ex-

Federated Woman's Clubs of
this city are in charge of this
special feature of the parade.
In addition to Floral exhibit,
the merchants and civic societies
are preparing floats for the pa
rade, and it is confidently
expected that the industrial
portion will be more repre-
sentative than on any prev1-
Gus occasion. Some OF
the floats will be drawn by
single horses, some by teams,
and others will be drawn by four
horses. These floats will be in
the nature of an advertisement
for the business house they repre-
sent, and it is needless to state
that much time and thought is
being given by those who are to
participate, as to the originality,
and completeness of their repre-
sentation.

present to witness the ascension
will gaze at the bird like speck
with bated breath. And then
comes the crusial moment. The
moment when death is separated
from life only by a slender and
brittle thread. The daring
aeronaut cuts away her
parachute, and with a terrifying
leap shoots downward for fully
five hundred feet before the para
chute begins to fill and ease the
fall. The flight through space is
undesirable unless one thinks
of those awful dreams wherein
he falls from a high cliff and
wakes up before striking earth.
The sensation is shared some
what by all who gaze in breath

of many miles to witness. See
