be 2,199.oib, followed by IA ciphers.
However, this world would not hold

To give all these people breathing
space tho size OF the world would
have to be multiplied by 3.i66.52G, fol-

numbers can be expressed
How futile. then. Ia ancestor wor.

to get its work out Of the way by ad-
vancing all house bill from the gen
eral order to third reading and pass
ing the senate bills for the day.
Rep. McKay's bill abollshing the
board OF examiners OF horseshocrs
was killed
The senate referred the Lord state
accounting department bill back to
committee, and ii Is generally believed
the bill will be smothered.
Gov. Osborn completed the military
board this morning by appointing Col.
John P. Kirk, OF Ypsilanti.
Gov. Osborn has decided to sign the
bill creating separate board for the
Michigan naval brigade. He deferred
signature until satisfied that the bill
does not call for extra appropriation.
This relieved the governor Of the
necessity of appointing a naval repre-
sentative on the state military board.
Col. Kirk, appointed today to the lat
ter, is senior colonel, and his qp
continent establishes the precedent
OF having the senior colonel on tho
board.

Trouble Arises Over Removal Of
Property Involved in Alimony
Granted Mrs. Wright.

Frail and weak, as a result of an
operation, Mrs. Maud Rooney, ,2S
years old, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth
L. Wright, held her father, George
Wright. farmer. prisoner In his
barn at the point OF a revolver for
three hours, Wednesday, near Beech
station. northwest OF Detroit. pending
the arrival OF Deputy Sheriff Gardner
with an Injunction 10 prevent Wright
from interfering with any of the prop
erty. She also chased friend OF
Wright's of the premises.
Three years ago, Mrs. Wright was
granted divorce from Wright by
Judge Donovan, and was awarded IS
acres OF his farm, valued at $4,000. as
alimony. Wright contested the case
and three times went to the supreme
court. each time resulting In defeat
for Wright.
Wright, however, refused to give
up possession OF the farm to his for
mer wife. Monday, Mrs. Wright OBJ
tanned a writ OF ejectment, which was
served on Wright by Deputy SherifIs
Gardner and Mccullough.
He promised to vacate. According TO
the deputies, Wright did everything
possible to delay the moving Of his
property from the farm. Fearing that
he would damage the property, Mrs.
Wright obtained an injunction Wed
nesday to restrain him from interfer-
ing with the property.
Before the notice Of the Injunction
could be served upon him, Wright be-
gan to tear down a steel windmill and
load IL on his wagon. His daughter,
who lives near, saw him at work, and,
grabbing revolver, which belonged
to her husband, ran to the barn, where
Wright had just completed the load
|tng Of the windmill on a wagon, and
ordered him TO unload the wagon.
Wright protested, but to no effect.
Jumping down from his wagon to
the ground. he grabbed his daughter
and forced her to drop the revolver.
Before he could stoop to pick Il up,
she wrenched loose from him and
again got possession OF the gun. He
then climbed back on the wagon.
where he sat for three hours, until
Deputy Sheriff Gardner arrived, while
his daughter sat calmly near, with the
revolver pointed at her father.
Wright told the deputy that he In
tended coming to Detroit TO have the
Injunction dissolved, Thursday, but
late In the afternoon, he had not ap-
peared
