Sheriff William Thraner. of this place.
Deputy Sheriff Thraner was one OF
those aroused by the explosion at the
postoffice. Aiming himself with re-
volver he gave pursuit, single-handed.
He found the three safe blowers at
the Michigan Central section house.
They had broken the lock Of the.
building and were just running hand
car out on the track. The yeggmen
left the handcar and ran down the
road, returning Thraner's fire as they
ran. Reaching a corn field the three
men took refuge in the standing corn.
and Thraner wisely declined to pursue
them any further. He returned to the
village and notified Sheriff Greer at
Pontiac.
The sheriff and his posse arrived In
automobiles at daybreak and immedi-
ately started the man hunt. The sher-
IN Is confident that he will capture
the men.

The final battle OF the candidates
for nomination Is In full swing at last.
Registration and voting really began
TO be lively shortly before noon. Mon
day. and from that time on there was
a continuous succession Of voters
coming into the booths until the mid
die OF the afternoon.
The primary Is very quiet affair
but the indications OF deep interest
are shown by the manner In which
voters are discussing local issues both
before and after casting their ballots.
That the Democrats are largely de-
sorting their party ticket and voting
In the Republican primary seems to
be the indication from the very small
Democratic vote. and large Repub-

day OF the primary Except In tho
Fifth. Seventh and Ninth wards,
where there are struggles among the
Democrats for aldermanic nomina.

This Is due to the fact that there are
practically no contests on the Demo

ceded to VIM. B. Thompson, the pres

Many OF tho candidates have been
profuse with gifts Of cigars to the cleo

Republican nomination for sheriff. has

others said that Democrats were mere

Offices, that Of mayor and sheriff being
the ones most talked OF while the
county clerk and city clerk are also
getting great deal Of attention.
Many Fall to Vote.
A general survey of large number
OF precincts show that about ten per
cent of the men who register go away
from the booths without voting In the
primary election. These may come
back and vote later IL they wish. but

CASES HELD If
BY JEFFR|ES
JUSTICE NOT SURE WHETHER
PRIMARY. ELECTION DAY IS
LEGAL HOLIDAY.

No fines were imposed by Police
Justice Jeffries In the early session of
police court, Monday. because OF a
doubt In the judges mind as to
whether it was a legal holiday, on
account of the primaries. In all cases
where, In the courts opinion, fine
was not warranted. the defendant
was either discharged or released on
suspended sentence. Otherwise,
the case was adjourned until after the
primaries for final disposition. JUS
ticc Jeffries said he did not wish to
take any chances on fines imposed
under these circumstances being pro-
nounced illegal afterwards. There
were Sc cases on Mondays docket.
and in the great majority of cases the
defendants went free.
Justice Stein entertained no doubt
on the proposition and disposed OF the
docket In court room No. as on any
ordinary week day. Both branches of
the recorders court held sessions az
usual.
