LAD LOCKED UP.

On Monday afternoon, Sh eriff
Arbogast arrested and brought to
jail Neut Wolf, a youth Of about
10, charged with forgery.
About six weeks ago a check
was taken up by Swadley Bros, OF
vanderpool, and being drawn by a
Pocahontas gentleman, the change
from $3.50 to $3.50 was not dis
covered until it made its way back
to that county. The raising of the
check appears to be very plain,
and a warrant was issued for Wolf.
He was found at William Corbett's
store on Tuesday, and arrested as
stated above. He denies his guilt,
claiming that the check, when
cashed, was just as given to him
Young Wolf is a son of Mr. John
Wolf, now living on j. w. Mackey's
Vanderpool farm, and, when quite
small, made his home for a time
with J. Trimble, Esq, near Monte

LATEST NEWS
Of MICHIGAN
HERE'S A NEW SECT WORKING IN
ST. JOSEPH WHICH HAS
NO PREACHERS.
BAPTISM IN ICY WATER.
The New Faith Kept Secret for
Awhile, But the Public Baptism and
Troubles in Families Broke the
Spell.

A new religion apparently promoted
in the interest OF two preachers of
German and Russian BIRTH, became
public in ST. Joseph Sunday. For sew
eral months two preachers have been
holding services at the homes of sew
eral of the lower class Germans and
Russ ians, who are quartered on the
beach along the shore Of Lake ,Michi-
gan. The new religious organizers
have been successful in keeping the
workings OF the new faith and their
names from the public by contending
to their followers that this was the
better plan to follow in the interest
of Christianity.
1t was learned Sunday. however,
that the self-appointed leaders
preach the belief that il is foolishness
to build churches or employ preach
ers, contending that many are preach
ing the gospel for financial gain. Al
though n plan employed TO keep
their workings 1 secret, nevertheless
it became known that the believers
in the new faith would be baptized in
public Sunday noon.
About o'clock the two preachers
marched from nearby dwelling with
16 believers down TO the shore and
one at time were baptized in Lake
Michigan, among the floating ice and
icebergs. The preacher was stationed
waist deep in the water, but was pro-
tected by waterproof suit, while his
followers were clad in only ordinary
clothing. Over 500 people gathered at
The lake side TO witness the cere-
mony.
The new religion has created trouble
in several families. This was exem-
plified by John Hahn. of the German
Baptist faith, who was recently arrest
ed for beating his wife, owing 10 the
fact that she refused to leave the new
religious sect.
