Wife Charges Husband With Grand
Larceny.

John Kapor, an Austrian miner.
languishes in the county Jail on a
Charge of grand larceny preferred by
his wife. The pair lived in one of
the Stasal cottages OH the Hamilton
tract. They were married about five
months ago. Mrs kapor before her
marriage to Kapor lived for awhile in
the Klondike country. By dint of
hard work, in washing, etc., she ac-
cumulated reserve fund of over 800.
Her savings we're slowed away in
drawer in the house together with
little money the earnings of hapor,
who worked at the Kennedy. A
brother of Mrs Kapor. John Rado.
mich, boarded with them. Thursday
morning of last week Kapor rose
earlier than usual. His wife wanted
to get his breakfast, as she was wont
to do, but he told her not to do SO.
that he would go to the mine. To-
ward noon Mrs Kapor's suspicious
bank in the house, she discovered all
the money had vanished. She was
lett without a dollar. Her separate
money amounted to sl20, all in $40
gold pieces. Upon inquiry it was
found that Kapor, instead of going to
the mine. had boarded the train at
Martells,- and departed for parts un-
known. A warrant of arrest was
issued charging the missing husband
with grand larceny. The sheriff IS
office sent notices broadcast, describ-
ing the fugitive. He did not go
alone, his own coasin accompanied
him. Tuesday message was re-
ceived that Kapor had been arrested
at Nevada City, Cal. Sheriff Gregory
started for that point Wednesday.
and Thursday evening returned with
the prisoner. The evening before the
prisoner was brought back, Kapor's
cousin, who departed with him, also
a brother of Kapor, arrived here from
Nevada City. They evidently came
to endeavor to smooth matters for the
if possible. The affair has
created quite stir among the Aus
trian element. Only SO was found
upon Kapor when arrested. What |
became of the wife's savings is unex-
planned. No one saw him take the
evidence points in his direction. |
What the outcome of this explosion
in the camp will he is awaited with

TIE course of the people of lone ID
forming an organization to devise
WAYS and means for the upbuilding Of
the valley town, is to be commended.
1t should be followed by a movement
throughout the county to the same
end. Let US forget our little Jealous
les, and try to bring this favored
county to a plane with other sections
in the attraction of a desirable
population. From $4,000 to 100, 900
people are coming into the state
every year. They are mostly home
seekers. And yet if anything we are
losing instead or gaining population.
We had larger adult male pepula
tion 50 years ago than we have now.
Our land is as fertile as thuse of sec
.tions teeming with new comers. 1t
can be had for one half the price of
valley counties. Our climate is un-
surpassed. And yet we are tagging
behind Let US wake up and do some
thing. The remedy rests mainly with
ourselves. We have done absolutely
nothing to attract immigration. ANA
dor county is an unknown region to
the home-seekeTs from the east, be-
cause we have not taken the trouble
to advertise our advantages. Nc
wonder we are getting left, and we
ought to, and doubt 'ess will continue
to be in the rear, if we do not take
the necessary steps to get out of the
old do-nothing rut.

Found His Wife At Last.

After travelling thousands of miles
in pursuit of his wife, and spending
a large part of five years in the search,
Augustus Wilson, a Port Huron de-
tective, has located her in Pontiac,
only to find her the wife of another
man. This morning Charles Phil
brook, aged 40, who says he married
her fifteen months ago at Sandwich,
Ont, was arrested and lodged in jail,
and a warrant will be served on Mrs.
Wilson as soon as she RECEIVERS from
an illness.
Wilson charges that his wife de-
serted him while they were living in
Port Huron. He returned home one
evening to find she had taken her
possessions and fed. He followed her
to Pittsburg, and after a desperate
search OF the city found where she
had lived She had gone before he
arrived. He says he then spent three
years travelling about the east and
middle west, hoping to find her and
induce her to return TO Port Huron.
Several times he secured traces Of
Mrs Wilson. but she always had left
before he arrived at the house where
she was living.
About two years ago he gave up
what he considered a hopeless search
and returned 10 Port Huron. Recently,
through a friend. he learned that she
was in Pontiac, and hurried there, to
find her living with Philbrook.
Wilson declares that II the Sand
witch marriage is recognized here he
will prosecute his wife on a bigamy
charge.

THE STATE IN
'- GENERAL
A NEW PRIMARY ELECTION BILL
TO CORRECT DEFECTS
IN OLD.
UP TO SPECIAL SESSION.
No Political Policy In II, But the Leg
Isiature May Fix That Part Of u
Before Passage.
Seems a Good Bill.

Attorney General Bird has prepared
primary election bill In which he
has endeavored to smooth out the
imperfections in the present law and
to simplify every provision to which
the attention of the department has
been challenged.
Michigan should have good
workable, consistent primary law If
IL is to have direct nominations" said
Deputy Attorney General Chase to-
day, and in this bill the department
thinks 1t has accomplished the object
sought. Every one will be able TO un-
derstand ii and work under IL with
out the necessity Of constantly asking
for instruction.
Those questions of political policy.
such as the nomination of United
States senators and the 40 per cent
clause, have been left for the legisla-
ture to insert If II desires TO do so. We
haven't made any attempt to favor or
oppose any interest or faction, but TO
eradicate some of the homogeneous
provisions Of the present act, and
make II more generally effective. II
merely simplifies and makes plain the
present statute.
IF the legislature in special session
desires this bill the department will
furnish it,"

Ann Arbor House Robbers.

A series of the boldest burglaries
In the annals of Ann Arbor have led
residents to sleep with one eye open
at night and to chain their bulldogs
In the Railways during the daytime.
Hardly day or night has passed dur
ing the last ten days without en-
frances into one or two houses of
the city.
One of the men has done his work
by stealth during the day, getting into
the homes by some excuse or other
and walking out shortly afterward
with valuables and cash. At one time
he was seeking a room in the students
quarter, and at another he was tele-
phone repair man. About the same
time came reports from a house near
the city where the occupants had been
chloroformed while the place was
robbed.
The most recent depreciation Is the
burglarizing OF the large residence OF
Mrs. Mary Mcclure on Huron street.
The entire house was ransacked. The
family Is away, and how much was
stolen is not known. The police have
no clues.

AS THE BOY UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict OF Au-
thority Was Vital.

In one of the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had To-
do with Mammon' and the corrupting
influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability TO
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original, for
in a voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following modification:
Eye cannot serve God and mammal"
