Nearly every week il becomes our pain

so weakening his system that a hemorr.
hage was caused.
Mr.. Park was born i'm Toronto, Ont.
July %, 1855, and came to this country
when "a years old, settling in Lexing-
ton. He was married December /,
1881, to Melinda Burrell. Three child
rem, Christie, Burrell, and Lillias were
born to this union, all of whom with
the mother live to mourn the loss of a
kind and loving father.
Mr. Park and family came TO Yale
from Bad Axe during the year 1900,
and for six years were residents of our
city. Mr.. Park was a contractor and
builder and during his stay in Yale
worked at his profession.
About two and a half years ago they
moved to Detroit where Mr.. Park had
many contracts. While busy on one of
these in Flint, he caught the fatal
disease which carried him away.
Their many friends in Yale join with
the Expositor in expressing heartfelt
sympathy for the sorrowing mother
and children.
Many and beautiful were the flowers,
expressions of esteem from the family's
hosts of friends, which were strewn
over the casket as 1t lay in repose in
the parlor..
Funeral services were held from the
house Saturday morning at 1890 and
the interment was made in the Ever
green Cemetery.

SAY OFFICERS OF
COMPANY WERE
POOR MANAGERS

Another story concerning the affairs
Of the West Side Realty Company was
told in the Fourth Precinct Police
Court today, when it was stated by
the concerns lawyer hat the com
pany should go into the hands of a
receiver.
Samuel Leber, who represented Max
Rodburg. the president of the company,
said that he drew up the incorporatipg
papers and that 1t was planned to buy
real estate, sell shares at $50 each. and
then sell the property and divide the
proceeds among the stockholders.
THE trouble" said Mr.. Leber, was
that none of the officers knew any
thing about keeping books. II Is now
insolvent and a receiver should be ap-
pointed"
Judge Herr asked for a list of the
stockholders and adjourned the hear
ing. There are about twenty stock
holders in the company, nearly all of
whom live on the Hill and are working
people. They attribute the company's
troubles to poor management.

haired man shouted that he was going
to climb the tree. IT used to be q lover
of owls as a boy" he said as he began
to prepare for his ascent, land I am

The birdlet watched him as he
climbed closer and closer, and the
crowd watched, too, with breathless
anxiety to see whether the owl would
allow itself to be taken. On the highest
limb of the tree sat the big-eyed owlet,
solemn as any of his species. The old
nan knew how to climb a tree and soon
was within a few inches Of the bird.
He reached out his hand but jerked 1t
back in a hurry. smarting with a peck
from the inconsiderate birds beak. He
reached out again, but the owlet spread
It's tiny wings and flew to a neighbor-
ing tree.
The unsuccessful attempt of the old

another. At length one of the park off,

Manuscript Put on in New

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-With the one

Of his coveted opportunity to catch up
with his correspondence and prepare a
portion of one of the magazine articles
he has contracted to write.
The inaugural address Of Mr.. Taft
received Its final revision today. The
document is, according to custom, a
declaration of the policies which the
new administration will endeavor to
carry out. The address contains d.
proximately 5000 words, and will oc-
cupy Mr.. Taft little short of an hour
in its delivery.
The address has been submitted not
only to the men who have accepted
places in the Taft cabinet, and in each
case received their hearty approval, but
Mr.. Taft has also read the paper to
President Roosevelt and others of his
personal friends and political advisers.
1t is pronounced a strong state paper.

mir issued by the committee In charge
of the inaugural ceremonies is a BIZ

In these words:

NASHVILLE, Feb. PAT the trial
today OF Colonel Duncan 3. Cooper. his
son Robin and John d. Sharp for the
murder of e. w. Carmack, former
United States senator. Colonel Cooper
told his story OF the shooting and sub
sequent1y was charged by the States
attorney with being an embezzler and
~defaulter.
When I saw Senator Carmaek COM

would wait for him. Then / thought
that might carry some significance so
I walked toward him. / saw him speak
to Mrs. Eastman. 1 said Mr.. Car
mack He threw up his head as though
he had not seen me and at once drew
his revolver and stepped in front of
Mrs. Eastman, pulling her between us
and stepping toward the curb. He had
his pistol IN his hand and he passed in

Of killing Carmack, and that when
Robin Cooper came between them Car
mack shot first. The witness said he
drew his revolver, but did not fire a
shot.
The cross-examination began by Cap
tain Fitzhugh asking the witness about
his career when he was a master in
~chancery In 1883. When the defense OBJ
jected, Captain Fitzhugh said;
I'VE propose to show that this de-
PENDANT, Colonel ID. B. Cooper, Ia a de-
faulter and an embezzler to the extent
of over 800, 900. We propose to prove
this beyond doubt, and thus to show the
jury just how much credit they should
place In his words. We propose to go
further, and prove by court records
hat his own brothers came into court
and admitted that the defendant is a
~defaulter, and also that his derelictions
along this line continued TO 1908.
1--WE propose to show that he embez-
zled from estates, from widows and or
phans, from the county and from the
State and from the very records kept
by him prove 1t.
Not Thin-skinned Then.
But there Is a further reason for this
question: We have heard of the
c~olonel's deep sense of honor; how
stung he was by a few sarcastic edi-
torials. But We will show that he was
openly accused of embezzlement, yet
he never said the town was not big
enough for him and for the men who
made the charges"
Court adjourned before the argument
was concluded.
