IONA BOY DROWNED
Long Lake Claimed Another Victim
Last Friday-Body Recovered

Long Lake Claimed Another Victim
Last Friday-Body Recovered
A sad accident occurred at Long Lake
at about 10:30 last Friday morning
when Harry Jacobus, IL year old
Ionia boy was drowned, Harry and
Claude Dumont, went To the lake that
morning with the intention of spend
ing several days camping and TO run a
lemonade and candy stand over the
Fourth. They had brought some lum-
Der in boat To the point selected, near
the old sheep wash east of Halls boat
houses and while at work on the stand
the boat started To drift away, young
Jacobus discovered it going and quickly
doning his bathing suit he started in
pursuit. Suddenly he disappeared and
was seen no more, which seemed very
strange as he was known to be good
swimmer and can only be accounted
for on the supposition that he stepped
into one of the deep holes along this
shore and possibly seized by a cramp.
These holes are spring feeders of the
lake and the water is cooler than the
general body of water which might ac-
count for the cramp. &. G. Ashby long
a resident on the lake, says that one
of the holes of this vicinity has been
sounded to depth of so feet and that
it is straight down like well.
Efforts were at once made TO recover
the body and although willing hands
worked faithfully it was not found un-
til about three p. M. Saturday when it
was raised from about 30 feet of water
and as soon possible was taken TO the
home in Ionia.
Harry was the only son of Mrs. b. NJ
Hawley, had lived in Ionia nearly all
life, was bright yonng man and be-
sides his mother and stepfather leaves a
host of friends. The funeral was held
from his home on Monday afternoon.

LEON MORSE
RETURNS HOME
Long Lost NJ. A. G.. Student
Has Returned to
Portland
GLAD TO GET BACK
Disappeared From Agricultural Col
lege Seven Years Ago-Had
Good Position.

Leon Morse has returned TO Portland.
A mistery of seven years standing is
cleared up. Leon disappeared from
the Agricultural college near Lansing
seven years ago. All this time he has
been living in Chicago, of recent years
employed in railroad office, as is now
stated, and all this time he maintain
ed silence. He is an only child and
his mother has long mourned him as
dead. His father, however, never quite
gave up hope that the boy would come
back sooner or later.
Young Morse is a son of former
State Game Warden Grant Morse.
The father is at the present time post
master at Portland. Leon, then twen-
ty years old, was attending college.
His health was not good, it is stated,
at any rate he absented himself from
his classes. His father being notified
of this fact started for Lansing Then
it was that the boy dropped out of
sight. 1t is supposed that he meant 10
return when his father returned to
Portland, but the father staid several
days. Leon was posted as missing
and the police began TO search for him.
Then it was that the boy went TO Chi
cago. 1t was regarded as strange that
he should not be recognized from pub
lished descriptions, for he is lame.
There were many reports of his having
been seen, but it appears that but one
of these were authentic.

Belding and Greenville Knights
of Pythias Crossed Bats
Last Monday.
OLD FASHIONED SCORES
Ii Was an Interesting Game From
Start to Finish-Score Was 10 to
IL i'm Favor of Greenville

There is an old saying that "When
Greek meets Greek, than comes the
tug of war;" and this was ably demon
strated last Monday when the X. p.
base ball team of this city crossed bats
with X. p. team at Greenville. From
start 10 finish IL was slugging match
and when the last man had slid safely
over the plate it was found that the
score stood II to Is i'm favor of the
Greenville Knights.
The game was most amusing one
from start TO finish and an eye witness
to the game said he never saw as much
fun at dog fight as he saw at this
game. Guy "McIntyre" distinguished
himself by numerous graceful errors
and helped much in furnishing Green
vile with plenty of scores.
The Greenville Call says of the game:
THE Belding team was somewhat
handicapped by their long trip it being
necessary for the players to put on their
uniforms on the train and hustle into
busses waiting at the depot TO transfer
them to the grounds, which they reach
ed just few minutes before the time
scheduled for the game to start. In
making up the lineup it was found that
the first base man had either missed
the train or fallen off on the way. In
the emergency Ellis Ranney was press
ed into service, and his playing and
coaching were the features Of the game.
The lineup of the teams was as follows;
Belding-Connors IS, Clark 30, Little
If, Monteith 20 and p. Alexander CT,
Ranney lb, Johnson RI, Gildemeister
C. Crawford p. Greenville-Grosvenor
If, Simon 20, Beardslee Id, Sass CT,
Hicklin 30 and p, Price SIS, Howard rf,

score by innings:

The subject for discussion was tu-
berculosis and several instructive pa
pers and discussions were submitted.

itation." He emphasized especially the
great importance Of keeping the streets
and alleys Of the city clear Of garbage
and other unsanitary accumulations oi
a germ breeding nature: he recon-
mended that all garbage be burned.
The doctor also emphasized the impor-
tance Of employing the the services
Of a visiting nurse, one of trained ex-
perience as in this way many sick
rooms otherwise neglected would be
kept in more sanitary condition and
thus curtail the spread of disease.
u S. Russell. member of the Pure
Food Inspectors, was also present and
made an interesting talk in which he
related some of his experiences EN-
phasizing especially the nutritious
value OF a wholesome. fresh beefsteak
as compared with one which has been
exposed in an unsanitary shop until the
flies will have nothing more to do
with it.
