HANDSOME RESIDENCE

Our townsman +. L. Pollasky who
owns an acre of land on State Street,
just south of the residence of ]. H..
Lancashire, has let the contract for the
erection thereon of what will undoubt-
edly prove to be one of the handsomest
residences on that popular thoroughfare.
The house will set trife north OF the
centre of the State Street frontage and
will occupy ground space 3Sx40, The
first floor will contain five rooms besides
hall, closets, toilet and bath. The sec
ond floor will contain six chambers,
linen rooms and bath, while two large
sleeping rooms will be found on the
third floor
A porch 9x30 will be built across the
front. The first floor of the house will
be constructed of rock-faced paving
brick and the second of stained shingle.
The roof is to be of bungalow design
and the entire building heated by a
modern hot water plant. The windows
will be of French plate glass and the
construction work the best that can be
had. Henry Soule, the contractor and
a crew of men are already at work and
hope to have the building completed and
ready for occupancy in early fall.

JUSI|C[LEAVES BENCH
W. l.. Carpenter Will Resign
From Supreme Court to Take
up Private Practice
BIRD MAY SUCCEED HIM
May Time Resignation, However. so
Successor Con Be Elected in
the Fall.

II is understood at Lansing that
Justice William l.. Carpenter of the
supreme court of Michigan is to
resign. but will not leave the bench
Immediately. He has already dis
cussed the matter with close friends.
Those in position to know say it
is probable Judge Carpenter will
time his resignation so that his suc-
cessor can be nominated and elected
in the fall. but there is also the in
timation that be may not wait, and
that in such an event Attorney Gen
eral John +. Bird will be appointed
to fill the vacancy. Justice Carpenter
has had long and distinguished judi
cial career. He served on the Wavne
circuit bench from 1894 until he was
elected in 1902 to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Charles d.
Long. In 1907 he was reelected for
the full term Of ten years and the DEM
otrats of Wayne county paid him the
compliment of an Endorsement. 1t is
no secret that Justice Carpenter has
felt for some time that private practice
would give him much larger returns
than he enjoys in his judicial position.
He will, of course. return to Detroit,
and the rumor is that he will form a
with Elliott q. Stevenson.

marked permanently in the history of
the state. On that date occurred one
of the battles of the war of 1912. which
has been forgotten by many historians
and never heard of by most of the
residents at least of the lower section
of the state.
Fort Mackinac was garrisoned on
that date by small company of
American soldiers under command of
Porter Hanks, lieutenant of artillery.
During the night previous force of
English and Canadian troops. accom-
panied by about 1.C00 Indians. disem-
barked in an island cove now called
British Landing. When day broke
the sentry at the fort saw the British
flag flying from hill in the rear of
the fort and commanding its defenses
A flag of truce was shortly sent into
the fortress, the officer accompanying
in demanding the surrender of the
garrison. His demand was complied
with and at 10 o'clock. the British flag
was flying over the fort. 1t was one
of the first moves of the British in
that war and they held the fort until
the close of the contest, ii being the
last fertilization surrendered by them.
Follow ing Perry's victory the next
spring an attempt was made to re-
capture the fort and after many
vicissitudes American troops were
landed at the same cove used by the
British land they started across the
island to attack the fortress. About
half way across the Americans were
ambushed and a large portion of the
force killed. TO commemorate these
two events the Park Commission has
secured one of the old cannons from
Fort Sumter and it has been suitably
mounted at the landing, and tablets
describing the two events will be un-
veiled on the anniversary of the land

the state officials will be invited as
well as the senators and representatives

address in dedication. The war de-

buy it. but Mr.. Gandey donated it, on
condition that he should have a pass
over the division as long as he lived.
and il WAS thought TO be generous
offer on his part and was gladly ac-
cepted. He had the pass for some
years and then il was discont inued
through a change in the management
He took his case to several lawyers and
found they were retained by the rail-
road. and then he said he would study
law and bring his own cases, which he
did and succeeded. For sixteen years
he has been conducting a brisk husI-
ness since his announcement that he
would take all righteous cases against
a railroad and if he lost the case he
would pay the costs. He brings only
those suits which he is reasonably sure
of winning and here are lot of them.
The railroad could have afforded to
have given the man, his whole family
and all the servants free passes for
the balance of their lives better than
to have him conducting this kind of
warfare, which has proven exceed

Little Money.

Five unknown men wrecked the
bank building of D. S. Henry at Me.

drove the citizens to cover and escaped
before any effort could lie made to
apprehend them.
The citizens of the town were
startled at o'clock in the morning
by heavy explosion which shook the
town and the windows in number
of nearby buildings. Several men of
the town ran out of their homes and
started in the direction of the explo-
sion. They were met by armed men
who ordered them to return to their
homes. They complied with the
order and the men inside the bank
escaped.
An investigation revealed the fact
that heavy charge of dynamite had
been used to wreck the vault. Citi-
zens, gathering in the street frightened
the robbers and they left before rifling
the safe. They secured no money except
some small change.
The men escaped on foot. Sheriff
Brewer of Big Rapids was Immediately
notified and with q posse of men was

The bank building was literally torn
to pieces. The front was bl own out

son and James Burke, were rounded

pistol duel with the officers. Under

A DOUBLE VICTORY
Alma Takes Both Decisions From
OIivet in Hard Fought Battles
at Alma and Olivet.

The debate at Olivet resulted in a
victory for Alma as well as did the
debate at Alma. The weather at
Olivet was stormy and prevented a
large number attending the debate.
but the interest shown by those
present was very intense. The pre-
siding officer was Pres, Lancaster of
Olivet, the time keepers were Profess
sors Adams and Schoen berger, of Alma
and Olivet, respectively; the judges
were Professor Blaisdell, Of NJ. A. G.
Professor Williams of Kalamazoo, and
Supt Hsrtwell of Kalamazoo Public
Schools. The platform of the Olivet
Chapel was very prettily decorated
for the occasion with banners and
screens.
After Introductory remarks by Pres.
Lancaster, the floor was taken by Mr.
r. X Thomas, '09 Olivet, who upheld
the affirmative of the question. Mr..
Thomas made very able and earnest
defense of the inheritance tax on the
grounds of the nations need for
revenue and the need for reform legis-
lation. He claimed the tax was the
only just and adequate means of secur-
ing necessary revenue and reform.
Mr. f. w. Cobb 'OS Alma, replied
for the negative by denying a national
need and by showing the fallacy of
the tax as a remedy for the evils OF
swollen fortunes Mr. Brown. '09
Olivet, continued the affirmative ar
gument by showing the dangers of
small plutocratic class controlling the
national wealth and argued for the
inheritance tax as remedial measure.
Mr.. J. II Marchmont, 10 Alma,
contended that the tax did not strike
the root of the evil and that the state
need for revenue was so great as to
preclude the advisability of the ma
tion's entering this field of taxation.
