NEW ELECTRIC FIRE ALARM
Will be Installed. Old Bell not Salts
factory. Alarm Boxes to be placed.
system TO be Tried.

Steps have been taken by the village
council for the installation of better
fire alarm system for the village 1t is
planned to place the present bell tower
on top of the cupola of the old court
house bui ding, now used by j. L. Sher-
man as an elevator, and replace the old
bell with an electric gong. Six alarm
boxes will be placed 10 different dis
triCts of the village and an alarm can be
turned In from any one of the boxes.
The alarm will register at the engine
house the location Of the fire, and will
also start the gong, which will ring un-
til turned off al the tower.
The village Is sadly in need of some
such fire alarm system. The old bell is
not loud enough TO be heard more than
two blocks away and when there is fire
at night many of the residents and scme
of the firemen do not hear the alarm at
all. by placing the gong at such a
heighth it is thought it can be heard all
over the village, ard will certainly be
more satisfactory than the present sys-
TEN. The outfit has not been purchased,
but will be installed on trial.

IT WAS SIyTY-FOUR YEARS AGO

old Erie canal to Buffalo, thence by
BOAT on the Great Lakes to Detroit,
where he rode on the train for the first
time on the trip, and came in that way

the journey was made by stage.
There was not much to the village of
Paw Paw at that time, and George

Mrs. Brown came here from Indiana

Mrs. Brown recalls that while lass
of six years she read the entire Bible
from Genesis to the Revelation. Or
course she could not pronounce the
names of those ancient worthless like
Mephlbosheth, Iphhedeiah, Josbeka-
shah, etc, and so she called them all

well. Here are our best regards to the
dear old lady; may she live to pass her

PREPARING FOR THE CENSUS.

Over $4,000 enumerators will be en-.
gagged in the census work next April,
and supervisors will pc provided in every
congressional district. These officials
will be selected by the director of the
census, but the appoin tment of al
other employees must be through com
petitive civil service examinations. This
arrangement will secure a force tested
for efficiency and will prevent pressure
upon congressman by persons looking
for census appointments.
The census will embrace each state
eand territory and District of Coumbia

Frank Stapleton of Decatur is entitled
to a gold medal. He captured a horse
thief last Wednesday, brought him to

HOUSE BURGLAR
IzEO At LAWT0N
Home of Harvey Harper
Entered and Many Arti-
cles of Value Stolen.
OFFICERS WORKING ON CASE
No Clue as yet. Crooks Thought to
be Transients, who Made
Quick "Get a Way"

The home of Harvey Harper OF Lawton
was burglarized last Saturday evening,
and many articles stolen. Mr. Harper
and family went down on the streets
early in the evening, and on their return,
found that some one had ransacked the
house from top to bottom. The sherffs
Office was notified, and a systematic
search made for the guilty parties. On
account OF the many tramps that are
now located 10 the village, suspicion was
at first directed to them, but an ipvesti-
CATION and search of the various "hobo"
camps, satisfied the officers that the
Weary Willies" knew nothing OF the
affair 1t is thought that the eight fin
gered" outfit alighted from a tram on
the Michigan Central which passed
through early in the evening, and then
made their escape immediatly after the
crime was committed.
Officers are working on the case, and al
though there is no definite clae to work
on at present, it is anticipated the guilty
parties will be apprehended within a
few days
The burglars entered the house by Gel
lar window and turned every thing "topsy
turvy" 10 nearly every room in the house.
Among the articles taken were, two
suits of clothes, an old fashioned Masonic
pin, pair of shoes, and numerous pieces
of valuable jewelry The sheriff has of.
fered a reward of $1,000 for information
leaoing to the arrest and conviction of
the thief or thieves.

FRANK B|RNEY IS
HELD FOR TRIAL
Examination Conclude ID
Wednesday in Justice
Rowland's Court.
CHARGE OF EMDEzzLEMENT.
Gave Bonds for Appearance at the
October Session of Court. Was
Trusted Employe of Nj. c. II. X.

Frank j. Birney, formerly freight
agent for the Michigan Central r. r.
Co. at Lawton, and now Que of the pro-
prietors of the Hotel Gddings at that
place, must stand trial for the crime of
embezzlement. His examination was
concluded in Justice Rowland's court
last Wednesday, and he was held for
trial. He gave bonds In the sum Of
$4,000, with Charles Showers and Will
Nelson of Lawton as sureties for his ap-
pearance at the October session of the
circuit court.
Mr.. Birney was arrested some time the
first of August, on complaint of j. j..
McRugh, chief of the Michigan Central
detective force, who, together with other
officials Of the Michigan Central Co had
had the Lawton freight office under 10.
vestigation for some time. Birney was
freight agent at the Lawton Office for
six or seven years, and it is alleged that
during this time he disposed of ice and
coal belonging to the railroad company
for which be made no accounting to
them. He had been a trusted employe
of the Michigan Central company for
about seventeen years, and the accusa-
tions agains. him came as great sur
prise and shock to his many friends by
whom he had always been held in high
esteem.
The complaint in the case contains 2d
different counts, alleging embezzlement
of various sums Of N jney belonging to
the railroad COMPANY, ranging IN amounts
from S5472 to $4,000 Ii is said by some
that expensive habits had caused Mr..
Birney to become careless and negligent
in the conduct of business affairs in the
office. However that may be, under the
law a man charged with crime is pre-
sumed to be innocent until proven guilty
and Brney's many friends are hoping
that be may be able to make satisfactory
explanation of the tangled affairs at the
Dawton office when the case comes tC
trial in the circuit court. Attorney T.J
Cavanaugh of Paw Paw is looking after
respondents interests.
