SAD ACCIDENT At
LANPHEAR'S POND
Fourteen-Year.Old Son of
S. j. Smethers Drowned
While Hunting.
FOUND IN SIX FEET or WATER
Was Seized With Cramps and Did not
Rise to Surface. Body Taken
to Indiana for Burial.

Lanphear's pond, east of Paw, Paw was
tle sCsne of another sad accident last
Sunday. This time however, a young
life was sacrificed to the sport of duck
shooting.
Last Sunday morning early, the IA
year old son of Mr.. Smethers living east
of Paw Paw, armed himself with a shot
gun and started to the pond to shoot
ducks. He succeeded in killing one of
the point near the old Ocobock ice
house There was no boat handy to GO
after the dead bird, so the boy undressed
and swan out to it. He started back to
shore with his prize, but must have been
seized with cramp, for he sank and did
not rise to the surface. The nine year
old companion of the unfortunate young
man ran TO his home to spread the
alarm There was no one there, so he
ran across the fields to the east side oi
Maple lake to tell the drowned boys
father Of the accident.
In the meantime, the news reached
Paw Paw village and several went to the
scene of the accident. Jesse Graine was
one of the first on the scene, and be
promptly dived and brought the dead
body to the surface. All efforts to re
suscitate the young mn were futile, a:
he had been in the water over an hour.
The body was found 10 about six feet
of water, and only short distance frou
shore. 1t is probable that a deadly
cramp caused the boy to 90 down to his
death.
The Smether's family came here from
Indiana about two years ago. and the
body of the unfortunate young man was
4!ken back there for burial Tuesday
lie Navesl a father and older brother
and sister.

Records Show an Unusually Large
Number of Deaths in the State
From Typhoid Fever.

The department Of state has received
reports of 1857 deaths as occurring dur
ing the month OF August, or 500 more
deaths than we're returned for the month
of July. Itis stated that the increase
is due to the large number of deaths Of
children under two years of age, and the
unusually large number OF deaths from
typhoid fever, which is somewhat sur
prising in view Of the efforts of the state
food and dairy department to check the
inrosds of typhoid fever and save the lit
tie children by a more careful inspection
of the milk supply this year than ever
before
There were 5,l97 certificates of births
returned to the state department as hav-
ing occurred during the month of
August

WORK PROGRESSING
ON CEMENT WALK
Walk to Prospect Cemetery Being
Laid. More Money and Labor
Needed to Complete Work.

Work on the cement walk TO the Pros
pect cemetery is progressing nicely.
The grading is nearly all done, and
cement laid from the end of the old
walk on South Kalamazoo street past
the A. ID. Burt farm, 1t is necessary
however that more be contributed before
the walk can be completed. Many have
donated work, and considerable money
has been subscribed. 1t still lacks
about SPOOL 20 of having enough to COM
plete the job. Some more labor can be
used at an advantage, but money is
needed with which to purchase cement
for the balance of the walk.
This is matter that concerns every
person in Paw Paw. Money and labor
should be freely given for the compile
tion Of the work. Those who have not
already given for the project should be
willing to give something. The CON-
mittee states that there are yet many
lot owners in the cemetery who have not
subscribed to the fund. IL there is
anyone interested in the proposition
surely 1t is the lot owners, and they
should be first to come up with the
coin. Put your shoulder to the wheel
everyone, end let's have the cement walk
to the cemetery completed this fall

CIRCUIT COURT
CONVENES OCT.l7
Calendar Lightest Before
The Court in Years.
Sixty-fve Cases.
ONLY TWO CRIMINAL CASES
Thirteen Will Be Contested. Liq-
uor Case From So. Haven.

The October term of the circuit court
for Van Buren, county will convene on
Monday, October IL. The first week Of
the term will as usual be taken mp with
the arrangement of the calendar, and the
disposition of chancery matters and the
various motions incident to the opening
of court. The jury have been summoned
for Monday, October oath, when the trial
of criminal cases will be taken up.
The calendar for the term is now in
the hands of the printer, and is one of
the lightest for an October session that
has been before the court in years.
The calendar is composed of 90 cases,
made up as follows;
Criminal 2, civil Jury cases IL, civil
non-jury 3, chancery first class 26, chan
cery fourth class %.
The criminal cases are, The people vs..
George Hopkins, appeal from justice
court, and The people vs.. John Bosq uet,
violation local option law.
OF chancery cases, % are for a decree
of divorce. Thirteen of this number will
be contested, and in the other ten, no
appearance of defendant has been filed.
ln sixteen of the divorce cases, the bill
of complaint was fled by the wife, and
in seven the husband is alleged to have
been the aggrievec party.
II is probable that several of the cases
will be adjourned over the term, and
that the session will be an exceedingly
short one for an October term.
