Police Begin to Enforce
Driving Ordinance

Patrolman Bert Cashatt and Dug
McCauley were the terror of careless
drivers this morning.
Cashatt played the spectacular part
1t was his duty to teach drivers pass
ing up and down Main street the A B
C's of keeping to the right. Bert made
good teacher. In only one instance
did he meet with an uLruly scholar
Pen could not paint the surprised
look which crossed the psysiognomys
of number of drivers when Bert"
gave them their first lesson in coach
mans etiquette.
They came jogging up Or down Main
street On the left as usual entirely
unsuspicious Of giving any ofrense.
When about half way between. Third
and Fourth streets their progress
would suddenly be interrupted by
Cashatt who would descend upon them
from the curb waving a sawed off
broom handle and instructing them to
turn to the other side of the street.
Some would stop and inquire what
the trouble was. Others would obey
instructions with a panied and hurt
expression and others who gave evil
dence of previous training, merely
nodded their heads and turned to the
right.
McCauley made two arrests this

German, and All Young, a Celestial,
were the victims. Both were arrested
early this morning and deposited IS

The horse in the question belonged
to Lou Grossmiller, who, according
to Hessler's sister, refused to accom-
pany the boy to the court room for
fear of arrest, though at the time of
the offense the boy had charge of the
horse, having borrowed it from Mr..
Grossmller.
All Give Him Same.
Scarcely nad the Hesser case been
disposed of when All Young came smil-
ing up the rear stairs of the court
house. He was met by a delegation
of municipal officials and newspaper
representatives, whom he greeted in
a pleasant mood. He was also solici-
of being fined ''tlwenty dolla." This
he took in good humor.
After the court had heard the case
from Mr.. McCauley's standpoint the
witness was given an opportunity at
the English language of which he
made the most, reciting in his on in
imitable style just how it happened
that he left his horse for a moment
and then "f1ogot."
AS practical pleasantly, the court
passed a fine of 500 upon Young.
Young advised the court that me

sure of this point, the court reduced

KNOCKED DOWN

II was not an automobile accident nor a
disagreement with a friend that occa-
sions the discolorations on the face of our
popular townsman, John Swigart. Itwas
simply being knocked down by barn
door and falling on potato crate that oc-
casioned it all. Mr.. Swigart was out at
his farm early in the week and while
emptying a bushel of potatoes from q
sack to a crate, door fell down, striking
Mr. Swigart OF the back and forcing his
face in contact with the outer edge of the
crate. Mr.. Swigart had his injuries ban
daged and returned home, where the
family physician was called into consul
tation and hot applications advised. Mr..
Swigart has been kept busy all the week
answering questions as to how II hap
pened, and is seriously considering the
propriety of having a system of cards
printed in explanation of his bruises and
in so doing answer all questions promptly.

Although Ernest Ewing had been in
poor health for some time, his death,
which occurred Sunday evening came as
surprise 10 his numerous friends

BIG DEMONSTRATION.

Alma was in the hands of the college
students from four o'clock until late at
night last Saturday. They commenced
TO congregate at teleghone headquarters
early in the afternoon, anxious to get
some word from the game at Lansing.
The same feeling of expectancy permeated
the whole city. When the score came
over the wires it was greeted with cheers
by the student body, and they i'm
mediately proceeded to run amuck.
Empty boxes and barrels, i'll fact every
thing that was innamable i'll the alleys,
was gathered and hauled by lhe students
to the college campus. A large crowd
of enthusiastic students and local fans,
over 400 in all. were at the station when
the train from the south pulled III. Red
lights and bonfres made the spot as light
as day, and the demonstration was the
largest in the base ball history Of the
college. The ball team was placed on a
dray and hauled by students, up State
and Superior Streets to the Campus where
the large bon fire had been lighted.
Speeches were made by the several mem-
bers of the team, Coach Harper, DIR.
Bruske and Prof. Mitchell, were also
called on for talk.
Last week was red letter week in col
leye athletics. Three victories in base
ball, and one in debate. While the cup
is not entirely won now, and though the
local team must yet defeat the Albion and
Kalamazoo teams, they at least are past
the most difficult game and are assured
place in the semi-finals at Albion i'll
June. The game of last Tuesday was
postponed on account of the death of
Ernest Ewing. The game with L. of NJ.
here Saturday promises to be interesting
and the opinion is that Coach Harper's
squad will hold the University team to a
close score.

in Chicago: wen, abroad when twelve
years of age, where he remained until
two years ago; studied at the Munich

with Bouhy i'll Paris. when he finished
his course. His career has included con-
cert work in Germany and London. also
four years OF grand opera and three years
of comic opera in the tame places. The
latter three years spent under Mr.. George

winters in New York;. His triumphs in
Chicago were amazing as everyone knows.
Furthermore. it is to Mr.. Rea's especial
advantage to have studied under Eugen
