SUFFRAGETTE MEETING
HELD IN GRANGE HALL

A Suffragette Mass Meeting was
held in the Grange Hall last Tuesday
evening at which time short pro-
gram of recitation and song was Civ
eli under the joint auspices of vi
emma Grange and Clio w. 6. T. L.,
preceding the address Of the even
ing BY G. S. Bartlett of Pontiac.
Mr.. Bartlett gave very interest
ing and instructive talk on the vir-
tues of woman suffrage and pleaded
for the approval of the proposition
to give women of Michigan the bal
lot. He took up the several puerile
arguments against 'votes for wo-
men" and replied to them most
forcefully, presenting in return
some of the many arguments for
the cause. Among other things he
said that our forefathers and the
founders of the commonwealth evil
IDENTIFY did not class women as "peo-
pie" for "in the constitutions we
find we, the people, ETC. but no
provision for the women"
A large crowd attended the meet
ing, and "Votes for Women" will
doubtless carry the day as far as
Clio and vicinity are concerned.

JESSE LADUE BADLY
HURT AT MILWAUKEE,
FALLS EIGHTEEN FEET INTO
TRANSFORMERS TANK
At Ausable Transforming Plant.
Working Above Tank, Is Shocked
by Live Wire. Promptly Res
cued. Badly Bruised and Cut.
Narrow Escape.

Jesse Ladue, of Clio, son of Mrs.
II. Ladue, came near meeting his
death Tuesday afternoon at the Au
Sable Power Co.'S Transforming
plant at Milwaukee where he is en-
ployed, and as result of his acci-
dent he lies in the Saginaw General
Hospital in a serious, though not i'm
medialely dangerous condition. The
young man, who is an electrician
was working on some wiring above
one of the large iron transformer
tanks when he came in contact with
live wire carrying $50 volts and
as a result of the shock fell to the
bottom Of the tank, distance of
eighteen feet. Fellow workmen
promptly rescued him from the tank
and took him 10 nearby house
where he was attended by a physic-
ian who had him removed to the
Saginaw General Hospital. The un-
fortunate young man in addition to
receiving a very severe shock, suf-
fered numerous cuts and bruises,
and it will be some time before he
will be able to resume his duties.
His escape was a miraculous one.
Crossed wires are blamed for the
accident.

Clio VS.. Flint Its.

Another team from the Vehicle
city, The Flint lis, for want of a
better cOgnomen, doubtless think
ing that their contemporaries of the
day before had not upheld the fair
name of the city, allowed that the
Clio team could not show them any
of the fine points of the game but
they were mistaken. for on the old
battlefield at Pine Run they met
their Waterloo. The date was Sun
day, the 23rd and the number of
the day of the month was also the
number of the Flint team after the
nine inning battle had been fought
and won by the Clio "Rum-Dums"
new name given them by their
classy opponents on this occasion.
The game was in no sense model
Of good playing on the part of eth
er team, but the home team ,execut-
ed their plays to little better adj
vantage than the visitors and tight
ened up little better at the crucial
moments. Lincoln began the heav-
ing act for the locals and did good
work for the three innings he held
down the place, although little
wild at first. Manchester, howev-
er, was anxious to enter the arena,
and he replaced Lincoln in the
fourth and but for one bad inning,
the fifth, proved to be invincible.
The receivership act was performed
by Ladue. Shirley the Flint twirl-
er had two fatal innings from the
effects of which it was impossible
to redeem the team. Moran acted
as referee for the several bouts.
Here's the line up:--
Flint-Staples, 2b. Kane, c.; Bark
er, S.; O'Brien, 3d.; Brown. 1b;

WITH THE BOYS ON THE DIA-
MOND
Clio VS.. Flint North Enders

Saturday afternoon the local dia-
mond was the scene of a spirited
conflict in which the home team
and the Flint North End nine were
the contestants for the honorS. The
boys from the vehicle city evident
ly were of the opinion that they
were to have soft snap and that
the Clio "SodbuSters" would be so
awestricken at the sight of their
spanglcd uniforms that it would be
impossible for the INTO connect with
the ball at all-at all. But the "a
aforementioned "Sodbusters" were
there with the goods to the great
discontinue of the nice boys from
Michigan's miniature Pittsburg and
they took the aggregation in tow to
the tune of 9 to 4. Dyball, Clos
recently discovered port-sider heav-
ed the sphere for the locals and did
the job in a most effective manner,
very few Of the opponents connect
ing with the goods he delivered to
any damaging extent. He was most
ably supported by Ladue, behind
the bat. The home boys oulplayed
the visitors at all stages for all they
were not dressed in "broadcloih'
and "came in out of The brush" TO
do the stunt. The boys who before
the game were regrctling that they
had come here to waste a good af-
ernoon playing with a "bunch of
dubs" found before The game was
over lhal those same dubs could
give few lessons in base ball art
The two pitchers that the North
EnderS used were likewise ineffec-
tive against the Clio sluggers and
but for overihrows at critical stages
the score would have been. more
like a 8 to affair than il was. Tn
doubtedly the next time the Boulve-
ward bunch comes up they will
think better of the playing qualities
Of the "Pine Stump Savages' and
won't regret that they wasted the
energies of their best players with
lot of 'hayseeds'
Clark umpired the contest.
When the game was over this was

UNIDENTIFIED MAN
GROUND UNDER CARS
FOUND ALONG p. M. TRACKS IN
MT. MORRIS
Gruesome Find Early Sunday Morn
ing. Either Fell from Train or
Was Sleeping on Tracks. May be
Fred Milburn of Flint. Photo
of Children and Scar on Left Ear
Only Means of Identification.

With the head, legs and arms sew
cred, the body of an unidentified
man, about 26 years old, was found
Sunday morning scattered along the
tracks of the Pere Marquette railroad
in Mt. Morris a short distance south
of the station. The mangled re-
mains were on siding which had
been occupied by freight train
about o'clock TO allow another
train to pass Ii is supposed the
man was either asleep on the train
and fell beneath the wheels, or else
had laid on the track to sleep. APP
parently the whole Of The train had
run over The body.
The only possible means of identi-
iicalion is q small photo post card
bearing the picture of two hand
some little children and Scared
left ear. The picture was made at
the Cornell studio in Detroit and
probably had been carried for some
time, for i was badly bent. The
reverse side of the card bore the in
complete sentence "To Grandma and
Grandpa from Medicine and" The
card had been cut down and part of
the writing cut away, apparently so
il could be carried in a card case.
Efforts al positive indentification
have thus far been futile although
Mrs. Fred Milburn, of Flint,
bride of five months, thinks the
body may be that of her husband,
who was about to return home from
Rochelle, ILL.,, where he has been
employed. What has given rise to
this fear on the part of Mrs. Milburn
is the fact that she had been receiv-
ing letters from her husband each day
and that she has not heard from
him now in several days. The child
rem in the photo she thinks may be
neices, daughters of Mr.. Milburn's
brother in Detroit but this she could
mot say positively as she had never
seen them. She could not account
for his being in Mt. Morris or on
p. NJ. train unless he came from
Illinois by way of Detroit and, TAX
ing a freight from that city, fell
asleep and failed to get off at Flint.
Another mark of similarity between
Mr.. Milburn and the mutilated body
found at Mt. Morris is that the low
er lobe of the left ear is missing
Further communication with Detroit
and Rochelle may establish the l.. 1
tity of tn dead man as that of Mil
burn. The remains were buried at
Mt. Morris but if the identity is es-
tablished they will doubtless be ex-
humed and second interment will
be made at Flint. a~~

Hon. Patrick II. Kelley Of Lansing
in his address to the graduates,
made a plea for greater education
toward The practical things of life
with less stress on much that is
useless in everyday life. His adj
dress was more a heart to heart
talk than a flowery oration and he
urged the introduction of more do
nestle science, manual training and
expert agriculture in the schools, to
train pupils for the things in life
worth while, those things with
which they will more likely have to
do in their life struggles. Ninety

The local boys claim that no such
arrangement was made and that il
was subterfuge Of the visitors TO
relieve themselves of the sure druh-
bing that was coming their way
when they brought the battle to such
an abrupt termination. The facts
in the case seem to be that the visit
ing team was short on mound art

ing good for only about half the
game, and that they wanted to stop
while their credit was good. AL

"JACK" DILLON LET OFF
WITH A S10O PENALTY

Muscatine, Iowa, Feb. 2S.-"Jack"
Dillon, charged with the crime of as
sault with intent to commit man
slaughter, was arraigned before
Judge L. ]. Horan and. entering a
plea of guilty to the charge of as
sault, was fined 500 and costs. The
turn of affairs was unexpected and
the announcement that Dillon would
escape a jury trial was received as
somewhat of a surprise by many. 1t
vas believed that the state had a
good case against the former room
mate of Thomas Hoskinson.
Dillon was charged with an at
tempt upon the life of Chief of Po-
lice Hoffman. He engaged in an en-
counter with the officer on East Sec
ond street and, according TO the tes-
timony presented before the grand
jury, drew a gun and attempted to
shoot the head of the local police
department He escaped and two
days later was placed under arrest at
Oquawka, H., and brought back to
! Muscatine.
In pronouncing sentence upon
| Dillon, Judge Horan gave the strik-
| ing button cutter the same fine as
that which he gave Elmer Orr, the
factory guard, who was found guilty
of assault by the jury last week. Both
men were indicted on the same
charge, hence the same penalty.
