Ladd did his duty in making pub
lie the analysis of certain paints,
not up to the standard repre-

and now the higher court affrms

The first robin had scarcely made its
appearance in the last days of March
when Mr. Bowser returned home from
the Office one evening bringing a pack
age under his arm. When questioned
as to its contents he replied:
"I have been investing in garden
seeds. Last spring I waited too long
before planting anything, but am
not to be caught that way again"
"But our back yard does not get sun
enough" protested Mrs. Bowser, "and
you know the soil is full Of brlckbats
and mortar. don't believe you will
ever make anything grow there"
"But will show you to the contrary.

As soon as Lynch had entered
the house, he saw Morgan sitting
in chair. The man partly raised
up, and reached for his two A cal
bre revolvers. Before he could
draw them Sheriff Lynch made a
dash at him, grabbed and bent him
partly back over the chair.
The criminal then managed to
get one of his revolvers out and
discharged it, but the position he
-gas in did not permit of accurate
aim being taken. If Morgan could
have had some five seconds
more time, it is probable he would
have killed several of the officers.
One ball entered Sheriff Lynch s
leg, in the thigh, penetrating the
fleshy part 6 inches above the knee,
and lodged back of the knee joint,
making a painful wound.
Conners then seized the man s
hand that held the revolver, and
had a close call himself. his hand
being slightly burned by the flash
from the revolver.
Two or three shots were fired.
The revolver reports soon brought
the other officers and Morgan was
quickly ironed. He was then TAX
en- to the cooler and chained to the
other two men who are supposed
to be Billy Harrington and Pat
Hanley.
The men were searched and four
revolvers. lots of cartridges, taken
from them and among their goods
were discovered dynamite cart
ridges, masks, dark lantern and
other burglar implements
Morgan, whose actions showed
MIN to be a desperate and determin-
ed man, is about 45 or so years
old.
The three prisoners were identifi-
ed a5 Charles Ccnklin, alias BlinlSy
Morgan, Pat Hanley and Billy
Harrington. Morgan is said to
have killed seven men.
Sheriff Lynch died from the
wound on Aug. II, 1887. Blinky
Morgan was hanged in the state s
prison at Columbus, Ohio. In the
annex at that prison can still be
seen the rope with which Morgan
was hanged and several of his
personal effects.

OF THE CAPTURE
OF "BLINKY" MORGAN

On June 81, 1887, 20 years ago
today, the sensational capture of
Blinky Morgan and two of his ac-
compliees was made in Alpena.
1t was thrilling capture of a
desperate criminal.
Many cities will remember it,
especially those directly concerned.
A newspaper account of the cap
ture follows:
Feb. 4, 1887, Capt. Hoehn and
Detective Hulligan, of the Cleve-
lard police force, were on the night
train leaving Allegheny City, hav-
ing in charge a burglar. Mathew
Kennedy. While the train stopped
at Ravenna, four men entered the
car where the officers and prisoner
were and began an assault on them,
firing at them and seriously
wounding both officers. Detective
Hulligan died or February Sth,
from his wounds.
A reward of $4,000 was offered
for the arrest of the murderers.
4 few days ago Sheriff Lynch
and City Marshal Westrope got on
track of certain men here VINO were
supposed to be the murdere1s. A
sharp watch was kept on the men,
and at last the information gather
ed by the officers was such that
they were certain the men were the
right ones and their capture was
determined upon.
On Monday evening last Sheriff
Lynch, Under Sheriff Denton, Dep
uty Sheriff G.. w. Jones, A. C. Nc
Donald, James Corners and Mar
shall Westrope and Policeman "A.
E. Westrope began the work of
arresting the murderers.
Two of the miscreants had taken
passage on the steamer Mackinaw,
for Oscoda. They were taken by
surprise and escorted to the city
cooler.
The sheriff and party then pro-
ceeded to the residence of f. d.
Williams, on Third street, and sur
rounded it.
Lynch, with some deputies enter
ed from the front.
Marshall Westrope and the
others except Denton who had re
maiued in charge of the two mer
captured. were ON guard at other
places about the house.

cording to ~r'eht the amount to be

1t is also expected that with the
increase in prlce of the Cuban brands
many of the makers of domestic
brands will also raise their prices.
There has De.n g. considerable increase
in the price OF raw material during
the past few years.

is good one but 1t will be some
months before IT is cured and in the
meantime tobacco will be scarce on

labor is so nigh that the manufactur-
ers claim that they have been los.

Mrs. Bowser didn't encourage or dis

Mr.. Bowser bought shovel, a rake
and hoe. He bought a load of rich
soil from farmer to mingle with his

florist. He bought compost from the
/ livery stable. There were two hours
work for him every evening after din

ended his back began TO hump and his
shoulders TO lop, and he grew hollow

when Mrs. Bowser begged him to give
