Drowned in the shiawassee

Carl, the twelve year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Miller, of Venice town
ship, was drowned in the Shiawassee
above Valley Mills Tuesday. The family
had taken day off for picnic and late
in the afternoon Carl and Cecil Clack,
the latter employed on Mr.. Miller's
farm, left the others fishing and went
up the river to go in bathing. Neither
could swim and so at first contented
themselves in shallow water. In some
way Carl got into deep water and was
unable to help himself He shouted for
help and Mr.. Clsck made determined
effort to save him. Holding on to log
with one hand he extended the other so
that Carl grasped his wrist, with the re-
suit that Clack lost his hold on the log
and came near being drowned. He fl
nally managed to get out of the water
and Immediately summoned help, Carl
in the meantime having been carried
some distance down stream by the cur
rent, being unable to help himself. 1t
was an hour before the body was found
and brought to shore by Frank Even
and Mr.. Miller. Medical aid was sum
moned but to no avail. Carl was the
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Miller, a hoy
of good disposition, a bright student,
ready to enter the high school next fall
and his death is sad bereavment to
his parents and sister. Funeral services
were held yesterday afternoon.

every reason to be proud of the game

Desertion and Trouble Causes Ins anity

For several weeksit has been under
stood by those who have had to do with
her IN any way that Mrs. Lizzie Sparl-
ing, Mulberry street, was mentally
unbalanced. For long time she has
had more or less trouble of serious
nature, and had become suspicious of
even her best friends. Her troubles
began with her marriage to Will
Sparlipg, his leaving her, the birth Of
babe, its death, difficulty about the
house in which she lived and her
goods being set into the road, a law
suit in which she recovered damages,
etc. These troubles following one
after the other were to much for her
and her mind has been wrong for
some time. On Saturday night she i'm
agined some one was trying to break
into her house and after asking the
neighbors to telephone for help she
shot revolver, burning her hand and
giving the neighbors a genuine scare.
Sunday morning Chief Hodges induced
Mrs. Sparkling to go with him to
Corunna to tell her troubles to Sheriff
Watson, when she was locked up and
examined as to her sanity before
Judge Bush and sent to the Pontiac
asylum for treatment. Meantime the
man wfio is at the bottom of all her
suffering lives in an adjoining city and
is apparently unconcerned over the
fact that his acts have ruined the life
of this woman

ful Baker brothers, of Wildwood, are
against the plan, but it has strong
backing and already bills have been
given to Senator Hand and Assembly,
