Potter Will Hold Over.

According TO the provisions of the
new drain law, EloL p Potter will
he county drain commissioner until
January l, 1911, without further
election. He will draw salary dur
ing the year 1910 instead of fees
as at present. He will not have to
determine as to the ACCESSIBILITY or
necessity for drains laid after Sept. l.,
that being thrown upon the township
boards. The amount of his salary will
be fixed by the board of supervisors at
the October session. An assistant is
also to be paid by the county.
The drain commissioner who fills
the office after Jan J. 1911. must be
nominated by the primary method
Sep. /, 1910. bv the political parties
and elected at the November election
in 1910 and he will hold office for four
years.
This all comes as result OF the
changes in the drain law bv the legis
lature of 1909 and relieves the board of
supervisors of this county from the
duty of choosing a drain commissioner
at the October session of the board.

Young FlrebHg Burned.

Seven wear. old Arthur Bother, whose
mania for setting fires has resulted
in serious damage to property and has
given his parents and the authorities
much worry and trouble. is a victim
of one of his own pranks.
Effort was made to have the lad
admitted to the Coldwater school. but
under the regulations of that insti-
tuition be could not be taken in. The
boy was then placed in the care of
Sheriff Convis at the county jail. and
Mrs. Convis undertook to watch him
ana prevent him from obtaining
matches or other means of making
fire.
While playing about the jail the lad
escaped Mrs. Convis' notice and
shortly afterwards she found him crv-
ing in the rear Of the jail with his
hands over his face. She found that
he had severely burned his face.
An investigation showed that he had
found an old flask with some fiashlight
powder in it and had ignited the
powder. Arthur said he got the match
with which he lighted the explosive
at Coldwater and had kept it secreted
