LIGHT ON GRAPE SITUATION
Contribution by Grape Grower ex-
plains Situation. Boys Re-
fused to PLAY.

The following contribution from one
of Paw Paws prominent fruit growers,
may throw some light on the recent
attempt TO effect consolidation of the
various grape associations of Lawtou
and Paw Paw:
The Durham boys wanted the Will
dey boys and the Benway boys to come
and play il their back yard and slide
down their cellar door; but the WlIdey
boys and the Benway boys refused to
do so unless the Durham boys would
slide first. This the Durham boys re-
fused to do. They said it was good
enough for the Wildey boys and the
Benway boys just as it was; that 20
game boy would stop for few slivers.
This made the Wildey boys and the
Benway boys mad and war of words
ensued, and when the hot air had cleared
away, 10, and behold! the only damage
done was that mountains of snow aud
fields of ice had vanished from the face
of the earth, and disastrous food was
averted only by the blowing of the
"skidoo whistle" ana Lawton was once
more tranquil. Peace be on earth-to
the grape grower.

b|RNEY On TRIAL.;
EMBEZZLEMENT
Former M. G.. Freight Agt.
at LawtOn Charged
With Crookedness.
LARGE CROWDS ATTEND TRIAL
Will Go TO Jury Today or Tomorrow.
Outcome at This Time is
Problematical.

The embezzlement case against Frank
j. Birney OF Lawton has been on trial
during the present week. 1t is probably
the most important case on the calendar
from local standpoint at least, and the
court room has been crowded to it's
capacity every day during the entire pro-
gress of the trial.
Mr.. Birney, the respondent ir this
case, had been ia the employ of the
Michigan Central railroad com pany dur
ing the past ID years and up until April
of the year 1909, the last six years of
the time as freight agent at Lawton.
On August 10, 1909, be was arrested on
a charge of the embezzemeut of funds
belonging to the railroad company. 1t
was alleged that Birney, during the year
1908 while 10 the employ of the railroad
company, had sold ice and coal to the
value of several thousand dollars for
railroad company.
1t was anticipated that considerable
time would be consumed in empanneling
jury owing to the publicity given the
case, but the panel was completed and
the jury sworn Monday afternoon.
The prosecution finished their case
Wednesday afternoon, and in all 2l wit
nesses were sworn for the people. The
defense then commenced on their side
of the case and nine witnesses were
sworn Wednesday Afternoon. The res
pondent in the case was sworn Thursday
morning and was on the witness stand
the greater part of the day. The testi-
mony will probably be all in some time
today (FrIday and the case will un-
doubtedly 90 to the jury some time late
this afternoon or Saturday morning
The outcome of the case Is, of course,
probematical, and it would seem out of
place at this time for The True North
erner to comment specifically on the tes-
timony OF any one witness. The testi-
monl of the witnesses for the people
tended to maintain the cont 3ntion of
the people that Birney had embezzled
funds belonging to the railroad company,
and the testimony of Mr.. Birney and
other witnesses for the defense tended
to explain all shortages as claimed by
the people and show to the jury that
respondent was not indebted to the COM
pany.
Prosecuting Attorney Glenn b. War
ner has charge of the peoples case, and
Attorneys T. }. Cavanaugh and l.. A.
Tabor are looking after the respondents
interest.
The following officials OF the railroad
company were present during the pro-
gress of the trial and gave testimony for
the peoples Chief Detective McHughs
of Detroit, Detective Deckie of Jackson,
Auditors VIM. Daeschner and Il. r.
Mitchell of Detroit and Freight Con-
ductors f. l. Emory +. j. Campbell

SIXTY DAYS FOR
STEALING CHICKENS
Arthur Gibbons of Covert Pleaded
Guilty to Burglary. Alleged
WhiskeY Cause of Crime.

Arthur Gibbons of Covert was sen.
fenced 10y Judge Des VoigDes last Mon
day morning to the Detroit house of
correction for a period Of go days.
Sheriff Chappell left for Detroit with
the prisoner last Tuesday
Gibbons pleaded guilty to the crime
of burglary. 10 response to the inquiries
of the court, be stated that 90 the day
the crime was committed he in company
with one Edward Clark of Covert went
to Joloma, and after imbibing quite
freely started home with a gallon Jug of
whiskey safely (?) stored away in the
buggy. On the way home they stopped
at the home of one John Strube and
helped themselves to several yellow
legged chickens and several bags of
choice beans, all of which they carried
to the home of Clark.
Clark, who was arrested at the same
time Gibbons was apprehended, failed
to appear 10 court and his bonds in the
sum of 500 were estreated. 1t is doubt
fui If Gibbons fully compreheuded the
enormty of the crime to which he plead
ed guilty. lie had no counsel and told
his story in an honest straightforward
manner. The maximum sentence for
the crime is five years IN the state prison
at jackson. The court, however, took
his previous good reputation into con-
sideration and was leuient 10 passing

RED KILlEFER MAY
REPLACE SCHAEFER
1t is Rumored That Popular Paw Paw
Boy May Cover Second for
Washington Club.

For the present indications it looks
highly probable that Wade Red" KILL
fer, former star of Kalamazoo Southern
Michigan league base ball team and erst-
while Tiger, will replace dutch" Shaefer
at second base for the Washington
American league club. While it is possi-
BILE Schaefer may return to the form that
made him one of the greatest stars of
the champion Detroit team, there is,
nevertheless, well grounded fear that
Shaefer has seen his best days as a ball
player.
"Few players who were corralled dur
ing the Cantlllon regime made more
favorable impression upon the followers
Of the club than Wade KilIife,", says "a
Washington paper. "Kllifer is fast, a
good hitter and a fairly good fielder, and
it would appear as though it would be "A

FIREMEN'S BALL A SUCCESS.

AS was anticipated the Firemen's an
nual ball last Wednesday evening was
the event of the year as far as Terpsich-
orean functions are concerned The
rink was packed to its limit, and it seem
ed as though all present had been look
ing toward to the occasion for many
moons. The rink was tastily decorated,
the music by Selonon's orchestra Of
Kalamazoo was up to it's usual standard
of excellence, the lunch served by the
tlremen was par excellence, and every
thing combined to make tho occasion
one of real enjoyment. As usual jim
Whelpley was the Belle of the ball, but
be had several close competitors, and it
is evident that jim will have to spend
more time 10 training before the next
firemens ball, if he expects to retain
his laurels. The firemen we're well
pleased with the sale of tickets, and the
ball was all that was anticipated.

assurance given that they would be
handled cheaper yet in the coming
season.
Ii was also voted to employ a special

BOY MET HORRIBLE
MATH At COOLIES
Gardner Cheney Ground
Under Wheels of NJ. G.
Train Saturday.
WENT TO TRAIN FOR PAPERS
About Seven O'clock. Father Found
Mutilated Remains East of Sta
ton About Ten O'clock.

Gardner, the l4year-old son OF Mr..
and Mrs Knowlton Cheney OF Goble-
vile, met a horrible death at the Mich
igan Central railroad tracks in that vl.
lage last Saturday evening.
The unfortunate boy WAS newsboy,
and as was his usual custom, went down
to the o'clock train for the evening
papers. His absence from home later 10
the evening caused his parents some
concern, aud about 10 clock his father
started out to see if he could find him.
No one in the village had seen the boy
since early in the evening, but 1t was
known that be had gone down to the
depot for the papers. His father then
took a lantern aud went up the track
east from the station He had not gone
far before be discovered ghastiy evil
dences of a terrible accident, and a little
farther on the muthated remains Of his
son we're found beside the track,
Just how the accident occurred will
probably never be known, as no one saw
the accident. / IS supposed, however,
that the boy either got on the engine Of
the freight which goes through Goble
vile few minutes before the paper
train from the east, or else was caught
in some way by the train apd dragged
along the track His foot was caught
in the frog Of the switch and it required
considerable force to removeit, so tightly
was it drawn between the rails. 1t is
profitable that the freight train killed
him at this poirt, but the passenger
train also passed over his body, mutIlat-
ibg itAmost beyond recognition. His
hat VA found on the front trucks of the
first car ~ the freight.
Core Quigley of South Haven was
motifs and jury was empaneled on
Monday. After the testimony OF some
of the train men vas taken, the inquest
was adjourned for one week.
The poor boy WAS the eldest Of three
