The MISSING Pastor.

1t is probable that no formal action
regarding the resignation of Rev. Carl
Sumner Jones, the missing Detroit
pastor, will be taken in the near fu-
ture by either the board of trustees
of the church, or by the church as a
body 1t is felt that if Mr.. Jones
is mentally deranged, he may on re-
covery return and take up his work.
In the meantime, developments
show more and more that the minis
ter's disappearance was deliberate
and well-planned. II is said that Mr.
Jones, before going away, divided his
property equally between himself and
his wife 1t is thought that there are
two ways in which he may be traced.
II. as is expected. he surrenders his
life insurance for its cash value, his
address may be learned through the
company. If he tries to dispose OF his
Cavanaugh lake property, it will be-
come necessary for him to obtain his
wife's signature
1t is now known that since he has
been at the North Woodward avenue
church, Mr.. Jones has refused two
flattering calls from other churches.
"He told me of one" said the missing
mans father, but | do not feel at
liberty 10 name the church. He re-
fused because, as he told me. he felt
it his duty to remain here until the

MISFORTUNE WAS
SWIFT AND HARD
THE SUFFERING OF A FAMILY
HEAVILY STRICKEN BY
ACCIDENT.
THE LAST BREADWINNER.
Father Killed in a Saloon Brawl, the
Son Injured Fatally, Invalid Mother
Left Helpless.

Ellery Hardy, 10, faces an opera
tion in a Traverse City hospital that
will probably cost his life; his aged
grandmother, broken down by the
tragic death of her son, Ellery's
father, in a saloon brawl few weeks
ago, and the accident to the grand
son, is dying; and Mrs. Frank Hardy,
the boys invalid mother, can see
nothing ahead for her but the poor
house. That is the situation in the
Hardy household
Shortly after his father was killed
Ellery left school and started in
search of a position to support his
mother and grandmother, the latter
nearly 70 years old. He was EN-
ployed by the Pere Marquette rail
road as night checker in the local
yards, and the outlook for the little
family frightened
Since Ellery has gone to work |
don't worry about the winter" recent
ly said Mrs. Hardy, who for many
years has been practically an invalid
through illness.
But last Monday night when he had
worked just three weeks, word came
TO the Hardy cottage that the boy,
jumping off a freight train on which
he had ridden from one part of the
yard to another. had been run down
by a switch engine and seriously
hurt Then the aged grandmother
gave up and took to her bed. Since
then Mrs. Hardy has been striving TO
care for the aged woman in her own
home, and to visit her boy, who is in
the city hospital with his left leg
crushed and severe internal injuries.
Physicians will amputate the limb
as the only hope of saving Ellery's
life, but, as indicated, there are only
slight chances for his recovery. And
the grandmother, they say, cannot
live.

THE LAW STEPS IN.
A BITTER SOCIAL FEUD.
Grand Haven Society is Rent, the
Court is Appealed To and Now
Comes An interesting Hearing.

Society In Grand Haven is torn by
bitter feud Of such social proper
tions that Attorney General Bird has
found II necessary to take a hand in
the judicial effort at its settlement.
The principals in the women's war
are Mrs. Corie c. Coburn, whose hus-
band is prosecuting attorney and a
political leader of more than local
influence, and Mrs. Mary Boyce,
widow of one Of the big lumber
kings.
The ill-feeling between the two wo-
men was brought to climax when
Mrs Coburn, watering her lawn with
a hose, saw Mrs. Boyce standing at
an open window in her mansion next
door watching. Whether there was
q preliminary exchange of cOmpli-
ments, spoken or by signs, is not
known, but it is charged that Mrs.
Coburn suddenly turned the hose
upon Mrs. Boyce and soaked her thor
oughly with water before she could
escape
Mrs. BOyce wanted a warrant for
her enemy, but feared she could not
arrest the prosecutors wife. She
asked Justice Wachs, and he, also du-
bious, wrote to Attorney General Bird
A warrant was issued and served on
Mrs Coburn.
The case was brought before JUS
tice Wachs and Mrs Coburn demand
ed a change of venue, declaring the
justice was prejudiced She insisted
that the trial go to Justice Hoyt, who

The change was granted and Justice
Hoyt is hunting for a temporary court
room large enough to hold an au-
dience which will Include all the So
cial lights allied with both factions.
The trial will be the most important
social event Grand Haven has seen
for many years.
The feud has literally divided
Grand Haven women of wealth and
social pretensions into two rival
camps. Both leaders are wealthy, and
their homes are the finest in the city

statement replying to that part of the
speech of Senator Tillman, delivered
yesterday, in which he declared that
the resolution in regard to the Oregon
land grants, introduced by him in the
senate January 81, 1908, had been pre-
pared by the attorney general and that
his interest in the matter had been
first aroused by a desire to purchase
some timber land"
Mr. Bonaparte also replied to Sem
ator Tillman's remarks in the senate
last February that he had not bought
any land anywhere in the west or un-
dertaken to buy any,"
The attorney general says:
There are two passages in the re-

not the attorney general has been or

AUTOISTS LOST
IN MOUNTAINS
Four Searching Parties at Work and
Heights of Panamint Range
Are AbIaze with Signal
Fires

Great anxiety is felt for the safety of
an automobile party that left Los An
geleS January in a new Franklin car
for the White mine, adjoining the yell
low Aster at Randsburg. 1t was COM
posed of D. w. A Williams, owner of
the mine; S. f. Hammond, who was to
assist in the management, and chauf-
feur named Dasher
Last night Hammond, exhausted
from having tramped miles through
brush, reached Garden Station, Inyo
county. and gave information that led
two hours later to the discovery Of the
car the party had occupied. 1t was
found abandoned in the Panamint
mountains, bearing the placard, "Gone
after water"
The party left Daggett last Wednes-
day morning, and no further news had
been heard of it until Hammond
reached Garden station last night.
Searching parties were organized at
Daggett and Randsburg, that from the
latter place starting at daybreak yes
terday under the charge of Mr.. Nc
Comber of johannesburg. 1t picked up
tracks at Granite Wells and near Bal
larat found a notice stating that the
party had gone for water and would
return shortly.
A fourth party started last night
from johannesburg, and signal fires are
blazing from the mountain toys
throughout the Panamint range.
Additional anxiety is added by the
fact that rain is falling and a wind
storm is springing up.
Hammond stated that he had left
Williams and his chauffeur three days
ago and that they were then well and
in good spirits.
Mrs. Williams, wife of the missing
man, went to Randsburg by train and
arrived there Monday evening.
The Franklin Motor company says
that Chauffeur Dasher is a most re-
liable man. He has a wife and two
children, who live in Los Angeles.
