The Hibbard s. Baldwin Sale Of
Berkshlres.

On Tuesday next the fifth public sale
of Berkshire hogs from the Mound
Spring herd will be held at the Sutter
by feed barn on East Main street, be-
ginning at o'clock p. m, No one in
Shiawassee county need be told that
the animals from this herd are as good
as can be found in the country both as
regards breeding and individual merit,
nor that the sale will be conducted in a
straightforward manner, every animal
going to the highest bidder without any
by-bidding. Past sales have shown that
buyers have secured many choice ami
mails at far less than their real worth
and the same thing will probably prove
true again this year. The chance to
buy stock of this grade should be taken
advantage of by farmers of this and the
adjoining counties who wish to start
new herds or improve their present
stock. Attention is directed to their
ad. in this issue.
At the West Michigan fair in Grand
Rapids this week, the Mound Spring
exhibit won nine first, three second,
four third, two fourth premiums, and
three grand championships. In this
connection it may also be stated that
the firm does not take the chance of
shipping its best animals to the fairs,
believing that the breeding stock is
too valuable to fit ahd take any chances
on. If these animals had been shown
in connection with their present show
herd it is admitted by all that they
could have made almost a clean sweep
at the State fair.

Floyd Reynolds and Miss NettiC
NJ. Rush were married at three
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Rush, three miles sout,
of the city. Rev. c. II. Hanks per.
formed the ceremony.
There was an air of delightful in
formality about the wedding, as the
young people were unattended, and
received their guests personally be-
taking their places in the parlor. The
house was tastefully decorated in
pink and white. The bride, who was
unattended, was charming in white
silk null, trimmed with lace.
After the ceremony, and the con-
gratulations of the seventy-five guests
a two course wedding luncheon was
served by the following young ladies:
Misses Florence Rush, Ruth Benoy,
Hazel Mckenzie, Emma Haff, Thella
Lewis, Fannie Monroe and Mabel
Launstein. Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds
took the sos Grand Trunk train for
wedding trip to Detroit and Cleve-
land After their return they will re-
side on the groom's 120-acre farm
in the Maple River district.
Mr.. Reynolds is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Preston Reynolds, and is one of
The most popular and progressive of
the younger generation of Maple Riv-
er farmers. His bride is a graduate
of the Owosso high school and the
Ypsilanti normal. Since leaving
school she has taught two years-in
1906 in Harbor Beach, and last year
in the sixth grade, Washington school

The young people are fortunate in
their many good qualities and in then
mutual choice. Their many friends
extend best wishes and congratula-
tions.

mony: Mrs. Bert EXelby and two
sons. Burdette and Charles, and Mrs.

BRIDGE CASE
Clinton County Officers Examined
the Drain.

Drain Commissioner Lou Green, Sur
veyor Clemens and Attorney VIM. M.
Smith of st. Johns, were in Ovid, Tues
day, looking over the bridges on Maple
River drain. 1t seems that the contro-
versy between Shiawassee county and
Ovid township over the matter of
bridges has reached the point where the
question, "Are the bridges necessary
is about the only point at issue.
Surely this ought to be easily settled.
We had bridges before the Maple River
was dredged, and while most of them
have been put back in position they
bear the warning Condemned, and
either the Maple River drain or the
township of Ovid must see that they
are replaced and put in shape to assure
traffic safe crossing. From what we
can learn of the matter it looks very
much as if re-assessment would have
to be made to provide for these bridges.
-Oyid Register Union.
Yes, and the re-assessment should be
solely on lands in Clinton county.

Changes ard Adds to Court Rules.

Judge Minor has made some
changes in the court rules of the cir
cult court, tending to simplify and
make more workable the complicated
code under which the court has been
ruled. 1t was found that several Of
the rules We're already covered by the
statutes and supreme court decisions,
so there was no use of cluttering the
books with them.
Among the important changes are
the following: To carry costs in an
appeal case to the circuit court here
after the appellant must better him
self $25. Before it was necessary to
better himself but twenty dollars over
the justice court decisions to be
awarded the costs.
The prosecuting attorney must APP
pear and defend all cases where there
are minor children.
All divorce cases must be regular
ly ON the calendar, the same as any
other case, to get hearing, which is
a decided change. as heretofore, at
torneys Slipped in with their divorce
actions at any time when the court
was unoccupied, and had a hearing
whether the case was on the calendar
or not.

Big Loss From Fire.

A fire, the cause of which is unknown,
destroyed the farm buildings. except
the house, on the farm of William
Saver in Rush township, early Tuesday
evening, causing loss of about $4,000
with $500 insurance on the barn and
$500 on the hay and grain. The fire
started in the large barn, being noticed
by Mr.. Savers son while the family
were at supper and had 80 much of a
start that it was thought useless to
attempt to save the building, the stock
being looked after and saved with the
exception of valuable stallion and a
Durham bull. The fire was soon COM
municated to the garnary, corn cribs
and other buildings, the home being
saved after hard fight.
The loss includes 1000 bushels of
wheat just threshed and all his hay and
grain.
The fire lighted up the county for
many miles around and was seen by
the people of this city, it seeming so
near that many thought the fire was in
the city limits and many people started
to go and see it at closer range, but
none but the automobilists arrived at
the farm.

George Warner secured a judgment
of s75 against the New Haven Coal Co.

case has now been appealed.
Jay Bacon sold the products of ~
acre field of beans to the Calkins eleva-

which he received $175.00 He still has
five acres to pull and he expects at least
100 bushels more. Jay is surely making
a farming record that will hustle the

Bold Burglary.

The most daring robbery committed
in Owosso in many years took place
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock when a
burglar placed ladder, borrowed from
w. J. Blood's yard, against the back of
d. J. Gerow's home on Oliver street
west, entered the house and went
through several rooms picking up
valuables, while Mrs. Gerow and Miss
Charlotte Donnelly were sitting in the
room down stairs reading. Hearing a
noise, Mrs. Gerow thought one of her
daughters had returned from walk
and gone up stairs, she called, but re-
ceiving no reply thought she was mis-
taken and sat down again. Miss Don
nelly however went up stairs and
looked around, saw no one and came
came down. Going up the back stairs a
few minutes later on an errand, she
heard someone in the front room and
thinking it was Mrs Gerow, called to
her, but receiving no response, went TO
investigate and found the burglar hid
ing behind curtain. Both Miss
Donnelly and the burglar departed
quickly, the thief out the back window
and down the ladder. The police were
notified and an attempt made to locate
the thief but no trace of him has been
found.
The thief secured an open faced
lady's gold watch, six rings, gold
cross set with diamonds, gold Shriner's 8
pin, a gold neck chain and few less
valuable articles.
Miss Donnelly says the man was
rather short, quite thick set, smooth
shaven and wore dark clothes and a
Derby hat.
Tt is hoped that the boldness of this
robbery will arouse people to such an
extent that the burglar, whom many
think is the same one who has commit
ted all the thieving lately, will not dare
take another chance here, or that some.
one being prepared will capture him.

will move to his home near Ann Arbor
and take rest for some time. Mr..
Woodlands has been a very successful
pastor and he and his family
have made many friends who regret to
have them leave.

Wreck on the Ann Arbor Railroad.

Ann Arbor engines Nos. 10 and 103
collided near Rosebush early Thurs
day morning, with the result that No.
10 was demolished, the track was
blocked for several hours and several
of the crews of the locomotives were
injured, fortunately none of them
fatally.
Benjamin Priest, of this city, ,.left
Owosso after midnight as second No.
5 with 10, making the trip light, as
he was going north to run on work
train at Park Lake he had trouble
with his engine on the journey, caus-
ing delay, and it is alleged was not
held at Mt. Pleasant, as he should
have been, to meet No. 103, one of
the "bull-hunks," southbound with a
heavy train. They met head on, and
No. 19 literally crawled beneath the
heavy southbound locomotive. Mr.
Priest was not found for some time
by rescuers and was unconscious ana
considerably bruised
No. 2, the morning passenger, due
here at 1858. was delayed two hours
ny Ollc WIcCh' Ht lHJuItu were
brought to Owosso on No. 2.
The others injured were J. n.
Radford, of East Exchange street,
engineer of the big engine, Brakeman
William Rogers, of 103, of Owosso,
and Fireman Lloyd Shorter, of 49,,
whose parents live at Traverse City
Conductor Carl Ruelle and Brake
man Charles Cook, of Owosso, were
also in the cab of the 103. but es-
capped with few bruises.
Mr. Radford is painfully scalded
about the arms, legs and body, and
his right leg is bruised. He was TAX
en- to his home in a carriage when
No. 2 got in at 1920. Mr.. Rogers
was able to walk but his right arm
was'burned by escaping steam, and
his face and neck also show traces OF
burning. He was badly bruised.
Shorter will probably die. His
whole body was scalded, and he was
also cut and bruised. He was taken
off the train at Mt. Pleasant.
No one knew that trouble was i'm
pending until the engines came to-
gether. The air was thick with
smoke from the burning forests, and
there was absolutely no warming and
no chance to jump. 1t is lucky that
No. 19 had no train behind her to
give momentum, or the wreck would
| have been much worse.
