Republican Candidate
for Prosecuting Atty
BRINGING BACK THE MORGAN
HORSE.

Thirty years ago half the farmers
of the country, we truly believe, were
ready TO resort to fists TO back up
their claim that their horses were of
Morgan strain. No matter if the live
stock were as heavy as Norman
draught animals, long or short of
body, big-headed or little, broad or
builded upon curve like hog-back
railroad. 1t was Morgan breed and
that settled it so far as argument
went.
This idea, so deeply engrained in
the minds of owners of horses, finally
made joke of the strain. 1t fell into
disrepute at horse shows and show
rings. There were breeders who de
clared with conviction that the Nor
gan horse was extinct-and with very
good reason.
Back in 1857, d. c. Linsley wrote:
"If animals are selected for breeding
which can make the best time in a
mile we think the tendency will be to
depreciate the value of the breed.
Bred for that one purpose, they will
lose some of their compactness, be-
come more leggy and rangy and lack
the stamina of the true Morgan"
1t was thus that the downfall OF the
Morgan strain began, just as the
shrewd Linsley forecast AS the cour-
age, the fine gait and the endurance
of the Morgan disappeared so fewer
and fewer persons knew what the ami
NAL really was and more and more put
forth mythical claims as to his exist
ence and possession at every cross
roads. 1t is said that at the St. Louis
exposition the real Morgan was lost
sight OF among the numbers of Stand
ard bred for whom Justin Morgan
ancestry was claimed.
The department of agriculture has
been experimenting with the regener-
alton of this breed and it has just
issued a little pamphlet to encourage
others in bringing again into being
the likes of Champion Black Hawk,
Ethan Allen and Daniel Lambert No
announcement is made of the success
so far, but neither is there any men
tion of failure. SO that wonderful
breed, storied in history and tradition,
the noble product OF section which
bred noble men. as we'll as horses,
may come back into its own.

NARY HUND BAHLKE
Mother OF ". A. Bahlke Died Monday
OF This Week
AFTER A 10 N c ILLNESS
Came From Germany in 1927 and Settled IN
IOnia County Michigan

Under circumstances that made
death more than ordinarily sad, Mrs.
Mary Humid Bahlke passed away at
the home OF her son, w. A. Bahlke,
Tuesday The fact that her husband
and life companion was also very low,
added TO the sorrow. Mrs. Bahlke
had been in poor health for several
years and her death did not come un-
expected.
Mary Humid Bahlke was born in the
province of Maclemberg, Germany, on
the eighth day of August, 1927, her
parents being prominent and respect
ed residents of that locality She was
born and reared in the Lutheran faith.
In 1884 she was married TO Anton
Bahlke, and soon after they came to
America. They settled in the village
OF Lyons, Ionia county, after a year
had been passed in Detroit, and Mr..
Bahlke took up his trade of black
smith. In 1860, having accumulated
some property, they traded it for a
farm near the village of Pewamo. By
hard, untiring energy, they saved
competence here.
Mrs Bahlke's health failed in 1886
and she was brought to the Alma
Sanitarium. After a summer and fall
spent there, her health had improved
so much that she again took up house
hold cares. The brick house on East
Superior street was built, but after a
five years residence they removed to
h. al.
alysis and went to live with her
daughter, Mrs. James Soaring, of Pc
wamo, in 1908. A year ago last spring
she came to Alma to live with her son.
Shortly after they settled upon their
farm, the deceased joined the Pres
byterian church. She had always
been an earnest, sincere Christian
woman, her Bible being her constant
companion. She was a very ambitious
woman, faithful wife and a devoted
mother.
During the last three years of her
life, Mrs. Bahlke had been a patient,
kind and considerate sufferer, and for
several months she had known death
was near, but had faced it unhinch-
ingly. In fact, she invited and wished
for the end. Her sensitive soul
seemed to fear the labor she was MAX
ing for others, and with a sublime
faith she prayed to her God that her
sufferings might end. With gratitude
for her blessings she lay down the
burden of life without regret, with
out sorrow. Peace TO her. She had
earned the rest from the labor and
care OF empty life, and to her, if to
anyone, there is a greater reward in
Heaven.
The funeral services were held at
the home of her son on State street,
Thursday afternoon, DR.. A. F. Bruske
conducting them. After impressive
services and kind words, the remains
were laid to rest in Riverside ceme-
terry. Many beautiful floral pieces
were presented, offerings of respect
for the deceased, of sympathy for the
surviving.

suit against the Interborough Railroad by a
passenger Of the Third avenue elevated
Who asked for damages for being assaulted
hy . fellow passenger.
The ulaintiff was Charles WachSer. He
boarded q train. and in an opposite seat
was 9 drunken man who resented Wach-
sel's looking at him. in language that
caused Wachser to complain to the guard,
who only laughed At him. On returning to
his seat the drunken passenger was still
more reseutful and kicked the unoffending
passenger in the shin.
WaChser again complained to the guard,
who seemed TO think the second complaint
even funnieT than the first and laughed
some more. But the unonending passenger
returned 70 his seat. and this time the re-
sentful one knocked him down. Wachser' s
chin was cut and his eye was blackened.
BY this time the guard had become con-
siGerafe enough TO have the whistle blown
for the police. and having the disturber
arrested. Wachser brought suit for 500
damages against the Interborough
Justice Page. who wrote the opinion Of
the Appellate Term in reversing the lower
court, said

New Automatic Device.

Several FIRE alarms were sent In IN QUICK
succession from the Mayor public recep-
lion room in the City Hall yesterday after

automatic private fire alarm signal system
! for the installation of which the company
| is seeking franchise.
\ sample system had been set up in the
| City Hall, and the alarms went no further
than the two tickers which registered them
| in the corner OF the room. Any sudden rise
+, in the temperature Of a room wired with
the system sends in an alarm.

ing TO the applicants for a franchise, who
