INJURIES SERIOUS
William Pryor at Hospital in a
 Dangerous Condition.

William Pryor, who has worked in various restaurants and cafes around the center was found yester- day morning near the junction of the Naugatuck and Highland division tracks in the west end with his skull fractured. It was 4:3O when he was discovered by three trainmen, and It was learned later that he was there about three hours. Although the mans skull was badly crushed, he was not entirely unconscious. Later he went into an unconscious condl- tion and to-day at the hospital 1t was stated that he had not regained bis senses, and there was very little chance of his recovery.
 It Is believed that Pryor was walk ing along the tracks and was struck by the southbound train from Win- sted about l o'clock Sunday morn ing. It was while Engineer James Meehah was making return trip from Bristol. where he had been on freight trip that he spotted man by the tracks. He informed his fire man, Lawrence Lachance of Fifth street, and brakeman, William Ward, of South Leonard street. When the man did not move after Meehan pulled the whistle several times, the men approached the man and found that he was badly injured. He was placedsin the cab and carried to be West Main street station and later removed to the hospital. Before his removal, the last rites of the church were administered to the injured man by the Rev James L. Flynn of the Immaculate Conception church.
 Pryor, who at one time lived near the corner of East Main and Wall streets, with his step-father, the late John Hennessey, the tailor, said that he had started the night before to walk to Union City. He said that he had a sister, Mrs Josephine Bren- nan in that town. He also declared that he was relative of Henry Freeman of Naugatuck He did not remember how he was injured. His condition to-day seemed to grow worse, luStedu Ol UeIteT.
 Many thought that the man who has been injured was William Pryor, who lives at the corner of East Main and Welton streets. The injured man, as far as known, was never member of the Sacred Heart drum corps, al- though his namesake was.
 William Pryor was at his home Sun day morning when member of the police department called, and after awakening the household, asked if William Pryor lived there. k
 "Yes, he lives here" was the re- ply.
 Well, he was found on the tracks near the Manhan canal badly injured this morning, his skull being frac- tured."
 Not so you could notice it'' came the answer, I'm Billy Pryor. and there's nothing the matter with me-" The officer knew theN he was in the wrong house.

TWO MEN INJURED
ScaffoIding Fellto Ground When
 They Mounted IL To-Day.

Herbert Miller and Charles Prop ter, carpenters in the employ of the Waterbury Building Co, fell from the Russell building on Chestnut avenue, this morning, and received severe injuries. MT Miller had one wrist broken and the other also re- ceived bad sprain. MT Propter also hurt one of his wrists and was badly shaken up. The scaffolding was all right when the men quit Saturday, but 1t seems youngsters were fooling about 1t since and re- moved nut from one of the bolts hence the cause of the trouble. Four men stood on 1t all day Saturday and it never stirred. The men were sent to their homes in carriages and will not be able to do anything for some time.

ing of them to pay it no less than
theft. 1t is clearE money taken from
them without legal warrant, against
their will. / can not see on what
principle of equity anyone can vote
YES.
Again, even If all are willing,
should We vote yes? The debt was
created illegally and the supervisors
in incuring 1t not only violated the
constitution but perjured themselves.
They had no possible right to more
than the $4,000 and If they thought
is was wise to do so, should have
submitted the proposition to voters
of the county. To claim that others
have done so before, is purely puer-
lie. To vote yes is to vote to condone
great wrong and to make crime
easy. We have done too much of it
in the past, let us stop at once and
forever
But is it not hard on the innocent
CD lenders? AS we have seen, they
knew it was Illegal. God means that
the way OF the transgressor shall be
hard. 1t ought to be. Let us not fight
against God.
But will not the issue be continu-
ally forced upon us, till we must pay,
and If so shall we not pay now and
have it done with? Let us vote it
down so overwhelmingly that no one
will think to raise the question again
and let us make it evident that any
officer who in the future sides with
illegal acts or votes to condone them,
will be speedily forced into private
life. Even If a majority vote to pay,
it will be very doubtful If the vote
will legalize the payment, in the face
of any protests and in a case so
clearly wrong and illegal, there will
surely be most vehement protest. In
my judgment then, we should all
vote no, and in case the majority vote
yes, | believe most violent protest
should be made in the cause of hon
esty and righteous government.
would say that to refuse payment is
not 'to repudiate a just debt" but to
uphold honesty, justice, law and con-
stitutional government.

GIRL HAS WINGS OF A BIRD.
Remarkable Areal Accomplishment
of Minnie FOrepaugh.

The flying trapeze act of Miss Min
ME Forepaugh has been described as
"a spray of thistle-down riding on
an air current through sunbeam"
This is the poetical view of what is
in reality the most wonderful woman
before the public today.
This girl-she is still in her teens
is with the Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Bros. circus which is to exhib-
21st. Miss Forepaugh is able to re-
sist gravity to such on extent and can
project herself with such force from
flying swing, that she speeds in as
straight line as a swallow ever de-
scribed through fifty feet of space
and catches the bars of another
swing. There is no other act like
1t anywhere.
Other areal acts with this circus
are the Fisher family of seven people
and the four La Vans. The Fishers
the best family of trapeze perform
ers in America. One of them has sue
ceeded while being pitched across
the arena, in turning two distinct
somersauhs and two twists stimuli
taneously. No one else has ever
done this. The La Vans are present.
ing an act equally novel and difficult,
but along other lines.
AS with the case with these num-
bers the acts of other nature, that
make up the program, have the
mark of distinction from those of
other shows in their absolute novel
ty. The aim of the management of
this circus is the give the public new
things to look at. The novelty of the
Adam FOrepaugh and Sells Bros.
show first strikes the spectator in an
absolutely new parade; and the spec
tacle which introduces the regular
performance is form of entertain
ment entirely new. One million dol
lars has been spent on this feature
alone. 1t is the burning of city, a
battle with the fire by forty profess
sional firemen, daring rescues on
ladders and with life-nets and finally
the victory over the flames.
Two performances will be given in
Owosso, one at Q O'Clock and one at
8. The parade will take place at 10
in the forenoon. The circus numbers
1900 people, 500 horses, three herds
Of elephants and several hundred
other animals, The main tent Of the
circus is the largest ever construct
ed.

E ks Memorial.

On Tuesday evening, Memorial
services in honor of the late Brother
II. B. Mclaughlin, of Vernon, were
held at a meeting of the Elks. Es-
teemed Leading knight George b..
McCaughna delivered the eulogy,
speaking in part as follows:
ITO me one of the grandest prin-
ciples of our order is the kindly re-
membrane of an absent brother,
this solemn service of veneration
for those who have left us.
''The roll Is called and in the ST.
lence that follows We are reminded
that a shadow has fallen across our
way from out of the brightest sun
light, and one who was in every sense
worthy of the name brother, is no
more.
while yet in his prime, and sur
rounded by those dearest to him,
Brather Harvey B. Mclaughlin laid
aside life's burden in Grand Haven,
Mich, July IS, 1907.
He became a member of Owosso
Lodge No. 1853, B. P. o. Elks, July l.,
1902, and has since been active in
promoting the welfare of the order.
"Those who knew him best will
agree that he lived we'll and loved
much. That he commanded the con-
fidence and respect of all just men
and was loved by his neighbors; that
by sowing his life into the fertile
soil of human needs, he left the
world better and happier than he
found it, that he looked for the best
in his brothers and gave his best in
return.
HE believed in happiness, love
and helpfulness here on earth and
was willing to leave the rest to his
God.
"While the loss of such a character
from our ranks is irreparable, his
sojourn with us was an inspiration
and his memory is benediction.
MANY a knight who mingles in
the broil
Falls ere his sun reached its highest
place.
Death strikes the strongest reaper
in his toll,
And stops the swiftest runner of the
race.
But time Is short, and death is no
disgrace,
But rather to the faithful man a
friend;
And leaves a glory on the marble
face
Of him who holds out faithful tothe
end
Whose ways are brave and true
so far as they extend"

Will Ward Resign?

Colin Campbell for speaker pro
tenn of the legislature. This is what
many friends of Mr.. Campbell would
like to see go through at the coming
special session which may be called
this fall.
Mr.. Campbell has as yet made no
step toward the achievement of the
end mentioned, but he has received
letters from several members of the
legislature in which the suggestion
has been made.
Charles E. Ward, of Bancroft is
speaker pro tenn and will of course
remain so until he resigns, or his
term ends, but he took no part in the
affairs of the legislature after the I'M
fortunate occurrences in which his
name was linked with the death of
Miss Edith Presley, a senate proof
reader, in a Detroit sanitarium.
His trial on a charge of man
slaughter is likely to be in progress
about the time the legislature con-
venes in special session and there are
many who believe that Mr.. Ward will
resign before the session opens.
"You can't be a candidate for an
other mans place before the other
man has stepped out of his shoes, Z"
said Mr.. Campbell. $50 1t cannot be
said that 1 am candidate for the
place of speaker pro TEN.
However, several of my good
friends in the legislature have sound
ed me on the question and l cannot
deny that l would like to fill the
place If there were a vacancy. II
Mr.. Ward were to resign 1t is proba-
BILE / should be candidate so far as
/ know now"
1t is well known that Mr.. Camp
bell has an aspiration to succeed N.
j. Whealan as the next speaker of
the legislature. If he is reelected he
will in all probability be a candidate
for speaker at the next regular ses-
sion. IL he were to hold the office Of
speaker pro TEN, even for short
time, during the recent session, it
would no doubt be of advantage to
him in attaining the speakership at
the next regular session..-Grand
Rapids Herald.
If Mr.. Ward did resign, and at
once, his place could be filled by
September II, next, when delegates
are elected to the constitutional con-
vention. 1t seems to be achoice be-
tween Mr.. Wards resigning or Shia-
wassee being unrepresented at the
special session, as 1t is improbable
that he will attend.

Moral or Legal Obligation to
Pay County Ind ebtedness.

/ am deeply and thoroughly inter-
ested in Shiawassee county. 1t gave
me birth, childhood of exceptional
ly wholesome environment, and today
protects my property and ministers
benificently to the comforts and we'll
being of those most dear to me. 1
can not, therefore, withhold my opin-
ion on a most important public ques-
ton when urged as / am to give it.
AS l understand it the county vot-
ed to bond itself for $4,000 to build
court house. This clearly implied
the wish of the people that no more
was to be expended. Again the con-
stitution prohibits the supervisors
expanding to exceed 900 for the
purpose of building, in any one year,
yet in the face of these facts the SUI
pervisors borrowed more than $780,
600 which was expended in erecting
the court house. Those who lent
this money must have known that it
was being raised illegally, for the
above facts were not concealed and
they secured interest beyond what
any one would have asked In a trans
action which was clearly right and
legal.
The citizens of the county are now
asked to vote yes or no on the ques-
ton of paying these notes. say
most emphatically NO. Unless every
citizen of the county wishes the
bonds paid, should regard the fore
