the city in order that Grand Rapids
might have a ffrst-cIass musical or
ganization- It is very apparent that
there are many in the city who do
not appreciate the band or the value
of a good band to a city. Last winter
when the band gave concerts and
dances in an effort to make a little
money, they had a hard time to break
even. It seems too bad that with a
band Of the high class and excellence
that We have here in Grand Rapids
that the majority of the people should
be so Indifferent to its success. This
city can thank the band men individ
uaIIy and collectively for having a
high class band for, it is owing to
their love Of music and their loyal
ty to the band and to each other that
has kept the band up in spite Of a
great many difficulties that besAt or
ganizations of this kind Of which the
public very seldom hears. Thursday
evening the band played the Light
Cavalry overture by Suppe and a Hun
garian Fantasia. A few-a very few
If those selections had
been played by Sousa's, Ellory's or
Creators band, and probably played
not much better, the people would
have paid to hear and would have
Because it is a home band
and a mighty good one if the people
only knew it they receive little, if
any, applause.
It surely can not be possible that
Grand Rapids people are lacking in
and love of good music
Show the men in this band that you
appreciate the time and talent they
are giving that Grand Rapids may be
known as a city having an A 1 band.
If you have ever sat up in a band
room on hot night and had to re
hearse, you can appreciate what
pleasures the band men give up so
that you may have a good band in
this city.

PLAINTIFF SET
TIES FOR S325O

The case of Robert Schonock versus
the 500 line has finally been settled
the plaintiff getting $3,25O.00. The
case has attracted considerable at
tention as the plaintiff is a resident
Of this city. It was a personal in
jury case in which the plaintiff sued
the R. R. Co., for damages alleged
to have been received while he was
employed by the R. r. Co.
The case was originally settled in
the Municipal court Of Marshfield in
1910 The settlement being $3.50, for
the boys injuries and $1OO for loss
Of wages to his father. Later on it
was claimed by the boy and parents.
that they did not know that the set
tlement was in full so far as the boy
injuries were concerned but supposed
it was simply a settlement for six
months wages.
An action was brought against the
Railroad Company by D. d. Conway,
attorney for the plaintiff, for injuries
the boy sustained and claiming that
the settlement in the Municipal court
at Marshfield to have been fraudulent
" obtained When the case came
up for trial in December, 1911, the
Railroad company moved to have the
question Of fraud tried separately from
the regular cause of action. The
motion was denied They then OBJ
jected to the jurisdiction of the court
because of the settlement made in
Marshfield A motion to that effect
was also overruled. On May 10, the
Railroad Co., took an appeal from
both motions to the Supreme Court
Of Wisconsin. While in Milwaukee
last week, D. D. Conway secured
an offer of settlement which he sub
mttted to his client on his return
home and while the injury to Robert
Schonock was severe, the fact that
a trial was had in Municipal court in
Marshfield and judgment rendered
which satisfied the record compli
Gated matters very much and it was
decided to settle the matter out of
court and this was done. Mr. Con
way was assisted in the trial by
Goggins and Brazeau.
