The opinion which is brief after. speak
ing Of the application says:
mo evidence Is Offered that such de-
struction Is threatened. and Il need
hardly be said that evidence Is essen.
tiai before any man may be either sc-
cused or convicted OF what would be
in substance a criminal interference with
the courts Of justice.
One Bst of Evidence.
THE motion 10 supported almost wholly
by the fact that after certain prosecution
in the southern district OF New York
beloning 10 the American Steel and Wire
company that had been furnished by the
company to the government for use In
such prosecution, and had been returned
to its possession were destroyed by one
OF its officers.
while we are satisfied that this de-
structien was without evil intent. the fact
remains that the destruction took place
and ha 10 he reason why. so far as the
steel and wire company is concerned, the
restraining order previously granted
should be continued"
The opinion then goes on 10 say that
It Is not shown thai the other defen-
dants we're in any respect connected with
It's acts and that without evidence the
court cannot grant the present petition.
The petition Is therefore refused except
as to steel and wire company, but the

new the petitioh u st any time counsel
shall desire such step as necessary or
desirable.

ING AND PRUNING.

Mr. O. X. White, state Field Agent
of the Department of Horticulture OF
the Agricultural college will give a
public demonstration in spraying and
pruning at the Kennedy fruit farm on
Friday, April 5th.
This is of more than usual import
ance to every orchardist, or any one
interested in knowing how to produce
the kind of fruit that the trade de-
mands.
1t is of special importance to us in
Gratiot county because there are not
many commercial orchards, and in
formation of this kind that can be
applied is hard to procure. Mr.. Q. K.

authority that we have in the state
in this line of work, and if much in
terest is taken we may be able to Sc
cure a series of demonstrations.
Every farmer and fruit grower is
cordially invited to be present at
this demonstration at the Kennedy

Facts About Indigestion and Its Re-
lief That Should Interest You.

Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause
and cure. There is no reason why
most people should not eat anything
they desire-if they will only chew it
carefully and thoroughly. Many
actually starve themselves into sick
ness through fear of eating every
goodlooking good-smelling, and good
tasting food, because 1t does not agree
with them.
The best thing to do is to fit your
self to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dyspep-
STA. We are so confident of this fact
that we guarantee and promise to sup
ply the medicine free of all cost to
every one who will use it, who is not
perfectly satisfied with the results
which it produces. We exact no
promises, and put no one under any
obligation whatever Surely, nothing
could be fairer. We are located right
here and our reputation should be

NRS. + II GRACE
WIEE SEEK BAL:
PRISONER is ABLE TO PUT UP
ANY AMOUNT NECESSARY TO
SECURE HER LIBERTY.


Atlanta, March 1S.-Mrs. Eugene
II. Grace may obtain her release from
Imprisonment this week. The beauti-
ful woman charged with shooting her
husband has now been lin jail ten
days, pending the outcome of her hus-
band s injuries. BecaGse his life is
adesDaired- of mo bail has been allowed
her.
!. Today her attorneys consulted Mr..
Grace's physician, and al it seems
likely that his illness is to be indefi-
nitely prolonged, an application will
be- naderfor her release on bail.
Another way in which she may op-
tain her freedom is through commit
ment trial before Judge Ridley, who
issued the warrant which charges her
with assault with intent to murder.
The trial is set for tomorrow, and un-
less her husband dies between now
and that time, bail will be assessed
in case she is bound over for any Of
fense. a tl. aisi H
Shoald she be bound over for muir
DER, after her husbands s death, the
application for bail will have to be
taken before judge of the superior
court. i. sisr i'hs
In these three ways it is possible
for Mrs. Grace to secure freedom, and
from a statement last night by J. "A.
Branch, one of her counsel, 1t is
probable that whatever steps are nee
essary to- secure her release will be
taken
Mrs. Grace will probably get out
of Jail in a very short time,' he
stated. @
The defense has often said they
could make any bond required and
this was reiterated last night. Mr.
Branch adding that friends of the i'm
prisoned woman were holding them
selves in readiness to assist her in
every way iDssible.
Mrs. Grace has been receiving quite
a lot of mail since her Imprisonment,
notes of sympathy and cheer from va
rious people. She hears frequently
from Philadelphia.
