WAS UNJUST IF SAID.
Reported Remarks Against Alma's Fire De-
partment Raises Indignation.

1t is reported that an insurance ad-
justor from Chicago, who was here last
week adjusting the insurance on the
equipment at +. J. Ross Riverside dairy,
made the remark that "every fireman on
the place ought to have been chased off
with shot gun" And it is further
alleged he found much fault because the
department did not save the barns
If these remarks are as reported it is
very apparant the man in question did
not know what he was talking about.
He should, on the other hand, consider
it most fortunate for his company, that
the house did no. 90 with the barn. At
the time the fire department reached the
scene of the fire it was an absolute inn
possibility to save the barns, all of
which were on fire and burning fiercely
A hundred witnesses could be produced
to substantiate this assertion.
Mr.. Adjustor is quite evidently one
of these "hot house" home office
adjustors whose practical judgment is
somewhat lacking to say the least. But
be that so or not, he is greatly in error
in his opinion if expressed as reported
The Alma fire department rendered ex-
cellent, efficient service at that fire
under difficulties that were hard to
surmount. They are entitled to all
possible praise and he who would have
it otherwise will find he has stirred up
something like hornets nest
IL is to be hoped the remarks were
misunderstood but it cannot be to
plainly stated that any remarks of such
nature are a reflection ON our depart.

entire citizen body.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY
Au Enthusiastic Meeting Was Held at
WOOdman Hall Monday Night.
G0ODLY NUMBER TURN OUT.
John 7. Matthews and A. C. Mccall Of the
County Seat We're the Speakers.


The democrats held a lively rally at
Woodman hall Monday evening which
was very we'll attended. President J. J.
Shields of the Bryan and Kern club
presided and John T. Matthews and A..
@. Mccall of Ithaca were the speakers of
the occasion. V. p. Cash of Riverdale,
candidate for state legislature, was to
have been present but was unable to
attend. Both speakers delivered adj
dresses entirely free from any vitupera-
ton or personal attacks
Mr.. Matthews spoke first and delivered
clean. straightforward talk on what
he deemed were the issues of the day.
He referred briefly to the wonderful quiet
ness of the present campaign and inter-
preted it as favorable omen Of Demo
cratic success. Briefly he reviewed the
state campaign saying no one could point
to single thing in the record of any
man on the democatic ticket from top to
bottom that would not stand the light of
publicity
He assailed the protective tariff as the
direct cause of the recent financial panic.
The plank in the democratic platform
calling for the guarantee of bank
deposits he defended vigorously, assert
ing no bank could honestly oppose such
a measure Incidently he brought up
the controversy between County Treas
urer Munson and the board of super
visors. He cid not hold Mr.. Munson to
blame in the matter but declared he was
being made a cats paw of certain
coterie of men, sometimes called the
republican machine.
Mr.. Mccall, who followed Mr..
Matthews believes in going after them
hot Mr. Mccall keeps you interested
when he talks and he don't hesitate to
say what ne thinks. In few words he
belted the protective tariff right and left
and upheld the guarantee bank deposit
platform against all comers. But at the
very height of his talk he had to quit to
catch the train TO Ithaca.
At the close of the speaking a resolu-
ton was passed thanking the papers and
the Alma Record in particular for the
way it has handled its news accounts of
democratic meetings this fall. OF those
present there were quite number from
out of town.

Jury Brings in a Verdict Of Guilty
In MlnniCk Trial and She is
Fined 81 and Costs.
DEFENDANT FILES AN APPEAL
Circuit Court VIII Decide Validity Of MIX
Ordinance and Defendants
Guilt.

The Minnick milk case was tried for
a third time last Friday and in this in
stance the jury agreed, bringing in a
verdict of guilty Justice Spinney, Sat
urday, fined Mrs. Minnick, the defend
ant, $500 and costs. amounting to Sag
This was the minimum fine that could
be imposed. The defendant was given
ten days ia which to appeal. An appeal
was taken and the case will be heard in
circuit court in few days. There is
some question of whether Judge Kelley
Searle will be qualified to sit on the case
as he, before his elevation to the bench
appeared for the defendants in the fa-
nous Granger milk case, brought few
years ago to test the validity of this very
ordinance. In that instance the circuit
court sustained the city, the case being
tried before Judge Stone.
The third trial of the Minnick case
differed from the two former ones in
few respects. The people prosecuted
under a new complaint, alleging that
the defendant was engaged in the busi-
ness and engaging in the sale of milk
OH the roth day of September and other
divers dates. Several witnesses were
produced who testified to buying milk
on various dates as far back as one year
ago. Mrs. Minnick, while on the stand
testifying, admitted all of the sales
charged, but said she only sold the milk
as an accommodation to those who came
after it.
Both of the attorneys made lengthy
pleas, covering much of the same ground
they covered in their former cases. Mr..
Kress asserted the prosecution had es-
tablished an unquestionable case and
that as the defense did not question the
validity of the ordinance, it was the
jury's duty to find verdict of guilty.
Mr.. Hayes admitted the ordinance was
good one but said it applied only to
those who made a business of selling
milk and that the defendant did not
make milk selling a business. The jury
was out about 40 minutes.

Grand Rapids Board Of Trade Makes a Fly
ing Visit TO Alma.

A special train bearing the Grand
Rapids board OF trade, ffty-three mem
bers in all, pulled into Alma shortly after
six o'clock Wednesday evening. The
train stopped here forty minutes in order
to give the members an opportunity to
see little of Alma
It was the intention of the board to
spend the night i'll Alma, but on finding
hotel accommodations were insufficient
the plans were changed and the train
pulled on through to Saginaw, making
a short stop at St Louis on the way.
Although the visit of the Grand Rapids
party was scheduled several days in adj
vance, not one representative or business
man to speak for Alma was present
when the party arrived. The visitors
were left entirely to their own devices as
far as local attention went, which is at
least anything but complimentary ex-
ample Of Alma's hospitality. On the
other hand at all the cities along the p
NJ. roadlbetween Alma and Grand Rapids
and at Mt Pleasant there were citizen
committees or representatives out to
welcome the visitors at the depot and to
make their short visit as pleasant as
possible.

HOUSE WIS CROWDED

MANY PRETTY MUSICAL HITS
End Men There With Their JOkeS-SchOOl
ChlIdren'S Chorus A Pleasing Feature.

Tuesday evening the Lawn Party Min
strels we're presented at the Alma opera
house under the auspices of the Ladies'
Guild of st. Johns church and the di-
rection of Messrs. Fred l.. Rochen and
J Bart Laughlin, of Detroit The opera
house was crowded full even standing
room being taken. AS a musical pro-
duction and in financial way the party
was large success, and Messrs. Roch-
ell and Laughlin are entitled to credit
able praise for their work i'll arranging
the affair on so short notice.
1t would be almost impossible and de-
cidedly unfair to attempt to enlarge up
on the work of any one participant in
the affair, as all did equally well. The
solos in the opening number with the
entire company supporting i'll the Choir
uses were particularly pleasing. Miss
Grace Messenger did some most excel
lent work, appearing twice. Both of her
selections were difficult but were deliv-
cred with charming ease that capti-
waited the entire audience. Miss Bertha
McLaren in one of the hits OF the even
ing, Love Me ALI the Time and
Misses Irene Arndt and Mildred Kress
in their respective parts struck popu-
lar chord with the audience The
Jonah quintet was there and had to
appear again and again.
The end men were there and they kept
the audience in the throes of laughter
most of the evening. Mr.. Harold Rey-
nolds was perhaps the most 'obstreper-
ous' of them all. He convulsed his
hearers again and again and wound up
by giving a grand exhibition of good
old fashioned negro breakdown" clog.
Mr.. Reynolds work was commend
able as it was announced from the stage
during the evening by a supposedly
duack doctor that his heart was far
away. Messrs. Kress, Carr and Upthe-
grove'were equal contributors with Mr..
REYNOLDS 70 the gaiety of the even
ing.
In the concluding half of the program
Miss Mabel Strong made decided hit
in the song, 1.-THE Automobile Honey
moon, supported by Mr.. Button and a
chorus of pretty young ladies. The
rythm and swing of the song caught
the popular fancy of the audience and
the result was hearty encore. An
other pleasing number was "Smarty, J"
by Miss Martha Tinker and Master NAL
colin Smith. Nothing ever seems to
appear brighter than the faces of the
school children and the grand school
children's chorus, School Days" sung
by l50 school boys and girls was feat
ure worthy of mention. Every one was
delighted to hear Mr.. Rochen, who
though troubled with his throat, rem
dered two baritone solos in a pleas
ing manner. The entertainment closed
with hilarious after piece that brought
in dips" "dippy" people and rapid
changes in bewildering rapidity.

HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE
G.. S. YOungS' House on Pine Avenue
Damaged.

George Young's residence on Pine ave
nue. caught fire about one O'Clock Friday
afternoon, and before the blaze was ex-
tinguished by the department over $500
damage was done. The fremen made
quick run to the scene of the FIRE, arriv-
ing there when the flames were
leaping high above the roof. A coupling
was made in double quick time and big
stream of water sent against the roof
where the flames was hottest. Another
was turned Immediately after. Ten
minutes work with the two streams re-
duced the fire to few smoking shingles.
The fire caught from the chimney and
was not discovered until it had a good
head way. Barton Younes, while taking
things from the room above which the
fire was located was burned severely by
scalding water, which dropped on him
from above. After the fire was under
control he was taken to DIR. Days office,
where his burns we're dressed. The
worst burn was on his right arm and
shoulder from which the skin peeled
when his shirt was removed. He was
also burned on the top of his head and
on the forehead. Fortunately none of
the burns are deep enough to be serious.

Republican Club.

The students at the college have or
ganized a hustling republican club to be
known as the "Alma College Republican

over fifty members and lots of enthu-
siasm.
Immediately after the organization
was perfected the girls of the college in
vaded the meeting in a body bearing
aloft broom to which was pinned a
sign reading "Woman's Suffrage" The
young men finally agreed to allow the
girls to become honorary members pro-
vided they would adopt the club slogan:
"Hurrah for Taft,
He is our man;
We can not vote,
But our. sweethearts can"
To this the girls readily acceeded and

slogan in resounding shape.
The officers of the republican club are:
Stanley johnson, of Palo, president;
Stanley Graves, of Detroit, vice-presi-.
dent; Byron Chapel, of Parma, secre-
tary; Leslie Koefgen, of Cass City,
