LIQUOR DEALERS BEWARE
BY Selling Liquor to Posted" Men They Are
Liable For Damages.

An interesting case was tried Al
Manistique last week wherein the
complainant. the wife of an habitual
drunkard. received damages from a
jnry to the extent Of $3.50 from the
Gronin Bros, saloonkeepers OF the
place because they persisted in selling
liquor to the husband although he was
posted about town as an habitual
drunkard.
The Pioneer-Tribune in review or
the case says that the bonding com
pany. which is surety tor Grondin was
directly interested in the case. and was
represented by an attorney from De-
troit. Attorney Fead of Newberry and
Attorney Mcdonald OF the 500. looked
after the interest OF the defendants
while Attorneys Hixson and Dunton OF
this city, and Attorney Sullivan OF the
500, represented the plaintiff.
Many witnesses were examined In
order TO prove and disprove the conten-
tions OF the plaintiff, but from the mass
OF testimony, good. bad and indiffer-
ent, the jury did not seem to exper.
fence any trouble in arriving nc YER
dict. and to award damages in the sun,
above mentioned.
lt is claimed that the case will be |
taken to the supreme court for final
settlement by the losers.
The verdict in this particular case is
hopeful sign for better things. Here.
tofore liquor laws have been disregard.
ed by practically evory saloon keeper
IN the county. and the fact that "post.
cd men appear to have no trouble in
securing liquor. even after the fearful
protests OF mother wife, sons and
daughters, Is apparent TO all. In the
case at issue. the Pioneer. Tribune dis
claims any knowledge of the guilt or
innocence Of the defendant, but il is
known that little il any attention has
been paid 20 the law governing such
'ases 10 the past throughout the conn
" as well as at Manistique. II the
Judgment rendered Tuesday night Will
make saloon men chary of selling to
iaoitual drunkards in the future. much
hall have been accomplished That il
sill have that effect goes without say ,

SMALL TAXES ARE RAISED
The First nstaIIment of $4,000 to PAY
CountyRoad Bonds With Was Ordered
Raised Officers Chosen.

The annual meeting Of the county
board OF Supervisors was held in the
court house last Monday and Tuesday.
The meeting was one of the shortest OF
record. considering the tact that an
entirely new valuation had been placed
npon the mineral properties of this
county by the tax commission which
necessitated re-equalization OF the
assessments between the townships OF
the county.
The supervisors. after looking into
the matter, decided that the best way
out OF the delemms was TO take the
figures of the tax coInmissi On and add
them 10 the arleady fixed values and
let the matter stand that way. That
plan seemed to satisfy each and every
supervisor and Prosecting Attorney
McDonough got out the resolution in
short order and the thing was done,
the figures being as follows:

4 These tax rates are the lowest in the
Fhistory Of the county and will make
the tax to BE- paid on mining pro-
Rerty exceedingly light

The above is the result of the visit
OF the tax commission TO this county.
The rolls were received back from
Marquette last Monday by express and
they were eagerly seized upon for news
OF the work OF the commission.
The result is great reduction from
the Finlay figures and some of the pro.
perties that should have been relieved
were given the relief that they mad
coming TO them. Not All the valuations
are correct by any means, very good
instance being that placed upon the

A GOOD MOVE BY GRADUATES

The twenty-eight young ladieaSa1
of the class of 1911, of the Ke-%c

sha Evening News, have handed
to Superintendent Mary D. Brad
ford the following resolutionx
which is signed by every girl in
the class:
owe, the girls of the class of
1911, hereby agree to lessen the
expense to our parents of our
graduation by wearing the same
simple and inexpensive white
dresses to the graduating exercis-~
es and to the Junior Prom We
also agree not to have extra
dresses for class day and the
class play
This is a good example for
girls in other high schools to foE-.45
low. The cost of graduation has5eo
gradually increased in many COM
munities to a point where some
young people are even obIige to
forego completing the high school
course while in many cases fami-
lies undergo hardship in order
that commencement expenses may
