A Careless Trick.
of sorrow

Last Tuesday morning while Frank
II. Bulls, our local marble and granite
dealer, was engaged in unloading a car
load of granite from fiat car on the
p. NJ. freight house siding, an accident
happened which was nearly fatal to
two of our citizens. The men had just
gotten large block Of granite partial
ly unloaded when the local freight
from Ionia backed in with two cars
and moved the car on which the gran
ite stood balanced. The sudden move
ment threw the block from the car just
missing Mr.. Bulls and one of his men.
In falling, the block went to the
ground between the horses cutting sew
eraI bad gashes on the hip and leg of
one horse and pinning the right hind
foot Of the other TO the ground, break
ing the wagon tongue at the same time.
A mum Der of men who happened TO be
near succeeded in raising the block and
releasing the horse, when il was seen
that a badly strained leg was the only
apparent damage. The team which
belonged To o. +. Webster will be out
OF work for some time as the result of
the accident. 1t looks like real
careless piece of business 10 back an
engine or train onto a siding where
some one is either loading or unloading
most of The time, without having one
OF the trainmen looking out for acci-
dents of this kind.

"Wet" Forces Have Secured
Sufficient Number OF
Names To Petitions
To Ask Submission
OF Question
DUPLICATES ARE POSTED
VIII Be Up To Board OF Supervisors
To Submit II Law Was Com
piled With

The "wet" forces have been active
during the past summer throughout
the county i'm an endeavor to get vote
on the local option question hoping fol
q return to the saloon system again.
Enough names have been secured by
the canvasers who have been paid for
the work of soliciting for the petitions
and il is said that $50 for each township,
ward and voting precent was the price
paid by the liquor dealers organization
10 get the work done.
The Portland Review says: Dupli.
cate copies of the local option petitions
which are TO be presented to the board
of supervisors this month, asking for
submission of the proposition at the
spring election, have been posted all
over the county. The law requires that
the names secured i'm each voting pre-
einct be posted i'm three conspicuous
places therein.
In the first precinct of Portland lis
names were secured and in the second
l45. These were the number which
the committee arranged 10 secure in
Portland, each town in the county hav'
ing its proportion allotted TO it to make
up the total for the whole county.
Byron Smith, who looked after the
petitions i'm Portland, says no attempt
was made TO see how many names
could be procured and that the work
Was practically completed in two days
The law makes ii mandatory for the
board 70 order the election if the peti
tons are found TO be regular, so there
is no doubt about the voters having 1
chance next spring To express them
selves.
If the question is submitted then il
means that another contest will be Oh
in the spring of the saloon or no saloon
The county seems TO have gotten alon,
pretty well for four years without then
and il would see IN there is no necesit,
for change.
