TranssressOrs Brought
to Bar of Justice.

Criminal Matters.

The past week has been busy one in
Justice Killefer's court. following are
the criminal matters disposed Of;
James Armstrong OF Mattawan was
tried for assault and battery and con-
victed of the charge He was sentenced
to the Detroit work house of correction
for period of 90 days. Armstrong has
something of a reputation as bruiser
and made brutal attack on one Austin
Flanders also of Mattawan. 1t is pro-
bable that 90 days at the Detroit work
house will teach him lesson.
On complaint of his wife one Orry l..
Brott was arrested on charge OF
abandonment He waived examination,
and in default of bail, is confined in the
county Jail to await trial at the October
term of the circuit court

known as the "wireless restaurant" at
South Haven is charged with having
sold intoxicating liquors in violation of
the local option law. His examination
was concluded on Tuesday, and be was
bound over to the circuit court for trial.
ln default of bail, he rests as easily as
could be expected at the county jail
For some time past there has been
considerable petty larceny going on in
Mattawan Freight cars have been
rfled and the store OF Wm. MarkIllie
burglarized. Special Detective McHugh
of the NJ G r. Il was assigned to the
case, and Oh Saturday last he caused the
arrest of Harry Spicer, who halls from 90
place in particular, but has been about
Mattawau for some time. He waived
examination Tuesday and in default of
bail, was remanded to the county Jail to
await trial on the charge of burglary.
Clarence Burnett formerly of Hart
ford is another unfortunate victim of the
vigilance of the Van Buren, county
humane society. Some time ago Bur-
nett moved from Hartford to Paw Paw
I lake, leaving the carcases Of two dead
horses uuburied. The attention of the
humane society was called to the affair,
and officer MCCabe was sent after him.

where he plead guilty to the charge, and
paid a fine and costs amounting to
/ $3.50.
The way of the trausgressor is hard
and thus ends busy week in Judge

ARM MANGLED At
DEAL STAVE MILL
Jess Read Stumbled and fell
on Butt-off Saw. Right
Arm Nearly Severed.
TRYING TO SAVE THE ARM
Will BE Difficult However. as the Mus
cles and Bones were Badly
Mangled and Torn.

Jess Read was the victim Of a fright
tul accident at the Deal stave factory
asst Monday He was busy with his
work about the mill as usual, when he
trlpped and stumbled over some rubbish
IN the floor and fell on what is known
as the butt of" saw. His right hand
and arm struck the saw and was terribly
cut and mangled The thumb was cut
of and left hanging by only a shred of
skin, and his arm nearly severed be.
tween the wrist and elbow. He was
taken TO DR.. Maxwell's Office where Drs.
Maxwell and Hoyt dressed the mutia-
ted arm and hand. An effort is being
made to save the injured limb, but it is
somewhat doubtful if the efforts of the
surgeons will be successful, as the flesh
of the arm was badly torn by the teeth
OF the saw. Had it been an ordinary
saw the arm would probably have been
cut off but many of the teeth had been
filed of and what was left merely tore
and mangled the muscles and bone.
Mr. Read is about 80 years of age and
has been in the employ of Mr. Deal for
the past twenty years, and although a
good share of the time has been spent
in the woods be has had considerable
mill experience. The injury will lay him
up for long time and even if the arm
is saved, it is doubtful if be will have
much use of it. The accident was sad
one and Mr.. Read aud family have the
sympathy of the community.

must leave after looking the place over.
Sorry you have decided not to go TINS
time. Girls all at Annapolis. Here is
yours, HOwARTH"
There may have been party at the
bungalow prior to the arrival of Mrs.
Woodill there on the 18th; THIS 1act
may have given Eastman his idea for
an explanation of the crime, II 1t should
turn out that his declarations are false.
Several persons along the road, 1t was
learned today, heard Eastman and Mrs.
Woodill quarreling as they drove from
Royal Ooak station, where he met her
Saturday last, to the wharf at Nc
Daniel. where she was seen for the last
time entering a motor boat with the
man who died a suicide while accused
of her murder.
Burial of Eastman.
Without ceremony and in the quietest
and most unostentatious manner posi-
BILE. the body of Eastman will be buried
this afternoon at the expense of Talbot
county.
The farm near Bozman, where Eastman
had made his home during his brief stay
in this country, from the bungalow In
which the murder took place, will be the
scene of the burial.
No church here will permit the body of
the suicide to be buried within it's grave
yard The authorities are forced to seek
a resting place for it on the farm of the
man himself.
Already the bungalow and farm, from
being a mecca for curiosity seekers, Is
becoming Stunned. People dread even to
drive by it. No one Is willing to visit
the place alone.
That the dead man. whose sensational
taking of his own life yesterday was
really Lame Bob" Eastman, the fugi-
beyond all question of doubt. The
body was positively identified this morn
ing.
The identification was made by Louis B.
Pedler. a member of the art department
OF one of the Washington newspapers.
who came down here to develop the
story Pedler Is cousin Of Winnie Brad
combe. the New York actress who. It
turns out. Is the wife of Eastman and
to whom he addressed the letter in which
he charged that a woman had killed
Mrs Woodill.
Pedler had we'll known Eastman in New
York There was no hesitancy In his
Identification.
Even before this, however States At
torney Turner and the local authorities
felt pretty certain OF the identity of the
dead man. Mrs. Eastman. or Miss Brad
combe. had practically admitted In New
YORK tndt from descriptions printed tNe
man was her fugitive husband
Wife Expected to Come.
She was asked by wire to come here,
but said she was unable to do SO. States
Attorney Turner has offered to pay her
expenses. She is expected. as are also
two or three of Eastman's New York
friends.
The authorities here are working on
the case in a desultory way. There Is
promise Of some developments in the
case.
The story Of the drunken row told by
Eastman in his letter to his wife has
caused speculation here. Efforts are be-
ing made today to locate members of a
party of four or five people who are
said to have left here on a launch the
day after the supposed time of the muir
der of Mrs Woodill.

MIR. Roberts liked music. and he often
told us that ne spent all his spare time
listening to good music. He told US that
OF March. for he had closed the deal for
the piece OF land on the eastern shore.

Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence. by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup OF
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.
