where the best medical aid was se- cured Mrs. Clark was notified Friday of the seriousness of the attack, and in company with her daughter she left for the west immediately They ar rived last night in time to see Mir. Clark alive, though the race had been a close one. The body will be brought to this city for burial, the stricken party to begin the long journey to- morrow morning.
 Mir Clark spent his early life on the inent among the pioneer business men of Grand Rapids and vicinity. He was born in Canada in 1885, being seventy four years of age. When lad Of eight years he moved to Kent county with his parents. who settled on a farm in Cannon to@nship.
 Mir lCark spent his early life on the farm and when about twenty-five years of age he engaged in the shingle business in the township of Soion. He was connected with other enterprises also and in 1872 came to Grand Rap ids With his brother, l. M. Clark. the wholesale grocery company known as l. Nj. Clark & Co. was established. A few years later this firm was merged into the Clark. Jewell. Wells com pany and under this title continued one of the foremost in it's field until 1896, when 1t ceased business.
 In 1899 MT. Clark was instru- mental in establishing the Clark Rut- ka- Weaver company. the wholesale hardware firm which now is doing business as the Clark Weaver com pany. In addition to the local busi- ness. Mir. Clark was heavily interested in western timber. enterprises.
 He was president of the Clark Iron company with offices here. though the mines are in Minnesota; he Wal, pres fdent of the Grand Rapids Timber company with holdings in Washington and Oregon; president of the Clark Sligh Timber company. an operating concern at Everett. Wash. MT Clark also was a director in the Grand Rapids National bank.
 Besides the widow and daughter there are two surviving sons. Melvin Jewell and Edward J. Clark. Both re- side here: one brother. J. D. Clark. and one sister. Mrs. Mary London. live In this city. The Clark family home is at BOT Lake avenue.
 Throughout his life MT. Clark had been liberal giver to the cause of charity and in a quiet. unassuming way had been known for many gener- ous deeds. His largest benefactions were the gifts of the Clark Memorial Home and Clark Memorial church on Sherman street. The home was en- dowed as a refuge for superannuated Methodist clcrgymen and widows.

SKETCH OF LIFE OF
 LATE MELVIN J. CLARK
He Was a Successful Business Man
 and We'll Known Philanthropist

The dispatches few days ago an- nounced the death in Globe. Arizona, of Melvin J Clark. of Grand Rapids. Mich Though MT. ClarlN's home was in the east he had large interests in the west and owned considerable prop erty in this valley. having been an oc- casional visitor to Phoenix. where he was known by many people. The fol- lowing from the Evening Press of Grand Rapids. of November 23. is fur nished by J. M. Jamison. of this city. friend of many years both here and in the old home state. IL will be read with interest by the many Arizona friends of the deceased:
 Stricken with pneumonia while on a business trip to Arizona, Melvin J. Clark, one of the city's pioneer busi- ness men. died this morning at s o'clock. Death occurred at Globe and at the bedside were the bereaved widow and daughter Mrs. E. w Wurzburg. together with Charles R. Sligh. who accompanied MT. Clark on the trip.
 Just two weeks ago Mir. Clark and Mir. Sllgh left for the west to inspect the possibilities of an irrigation pro- ject in which they were interested. Last Wednesday the men were on one of the Indian reservations when Mir. Clark was stricken with the disease which caused his death this morning
 A special train was pressed into ser vice and the sick man was removed to the old Dominion hospital at Globe,

GUMsHOT WOUND
 FATAL AT LAST DEATH OF MALEY LEVY YESTER- DAY MORNING.
A Possibility That An Inquest Will
 Be Held Today.

Maley Levy. a li-ycar- boy. died at the Sisters Hospital yesterday morning of the effect of d gunshot wound received two weeks ago last Saturday afternoon. The immediate cause of death was blood poisoning. present from an carly stLge of the case. and which the utmost care could not overcome.
 Though it has not yet been fully decided, 1t is possible that an inquest will be held today. IL appears that there was a general misunderstand- ing as to the manner in which the boy received the fatal wound. 1t was reported that while crossing the river bed at the foot of Center street. in the company of his older brother. Frank Levy. he got out of the wagon. and that while climbing in again. the shotgun was discharged. For the first time 1t was reported to the authori- ties yesterday that though the shot was entirely accidental. the gun was in other hands than those of the boy when it was discharged.
 The load lodged chiefly in the right arm of the boy. and he was taken to the Sisters Hospital. where he was given preliminary treatment. That was about : o'clock on Saturday eNen- ing The following afternoon DTS. Wylie. Bell and Dysart were called into the case. and they found con dition of acute gangrene. which they reported had been set up by the con dition in which the arm had been left. They are said to have discov- cred pieces of gun wadding. shot and fragments of the boys coat and shirt in the wound.
 pr. Wylie said that in his opinion an operation was useless; that the boy was doomed. but whatever hope there was lay in the hurried ampu- tation of the arm. pr. Bell said that it would give the boy one chance in a million. The arm was taken off. and to the surprise of the doctors. the boy was living at the end Of twenty-four hours. After that there was d reduction of the temperature. which still hovered about the danger mark of IO3. There were slight hem orrhages from the arm, from time to time. but they were checked. At the end of week it appeared that the paticnt might be saved by the mill Iionth chance. but on Saturday the fever rose alarmingly, and reached IO5. That was the beginning of the end. which came about [ o'clock yes tcrday morning.
 The arm has been preserved in the condition it was when 1t was removed and in the case of an inquest 1t will probably be offered as grewsome exhibit.
 The mother of the dead boy is d widow. Mrs Rosella Levy. living near Alhambra.

BLACKBERR|ES
NOW PLENTIFUL
IN THE MARKET

The dealers are all looking for
shipments of corn from Cali
fornia. So far this season there
has been just one small shipment
and the quality of that was SO
poor that 1T brought a low price.
The California corn crop seems
to be small this year and what
there is, Is worm eaten. Some
home grown new corn Is expected
soon, but the local crops are also
said to be poor.
RaspIberries and loganberries
are growing scarce and the whole
sale prices have gone up some
what, although the retail prices
remain steady. There are plenty
of lbladkberries coming in and
the quality Ia extra good. Plums
are plentiful and are now selling
at perhaps the lowest figures Of
the season.
