Corunna, Oct. 15-Jes3e Bush, the
18-year-old Owosso boy charged with
| the theft of an automobile belonding
to Fred B. Woodland of Owosso, was
released Monday, on probation by
Judge Miner in the circuit court.
Francis Goddard, the confessed
boOtlCgger, was sentenced 10 80 days
in the county Jail, and lined $50. In
default of the fine, Goddard must
serve so days. Court then adjourn
ed until November 6.
Judge Miner Friday granted'a decree
of divorce to Edith Clark from Charles
Clark. The case was heard several
days ago, but the court withheld his
decision until Mrs. Clark's residence
could be established.
Because his wife was 'extrayagant"
enough to spend 80 cents that remained
out Of some money that he had given
her to pay for some coal that they had
bought, fer groceries, James Sloat flew,
into rage. This was one of the charges
that his wife Iona Sloat, made in her
suit for divorce She was granted a
decree by Judge Miner in lhe circuit
court, Friday, on the grounds of cru
city and non support.
Mrs. Sloat is 40, and sloat is Sc. They
had been married for 16 years and have
one son. The grocery incident. Mrs.

The physicians issued statement
Wednesday evening stating that the

however, it is stated. will not affect
the treatment in any way but will be
allowed to heal untreated, as will the
wound.
A description of the wound given
by DR.. w. b. McCauley stated that the
bullets path through the muscles OF
the chest is lacerated to some extent
by the battered lead but that there was
little confusion and no extensive area
of bruised and extravasated surround
ing tissue.
1.-THE bullet did not mushroom az
might have been expected" said DR..
McCauley. For that reason it cut o
comparatively small hole in the skin
and did not reduce large portion OF
the nearby tissues to pulp as is the
case in soft bullet that mushrooms
in animal tissue after it hits bone.
l think the bundle of papsrs ip Col
Roosevelt's pocket checked it and the
spectacle case for some reason failed to
spread the bullet much.
"The wound is about big enough TO
put your finger in st the surface and
does not appear to get very much big
ger. l would call it very clear
wound. The skin is torn at the surface
and there is little bruising.
There is not sign of suppuration
in the wound. The flesh is in good
condition and seems to be healin
without complications. If there were
pus forming deep in the wound We
know it at once by an unusual rise of
temperature -
DR.. McCauley added that it is now
certain from the X ray pictures that
the bullet has not entered. or injured
the pleural cavity, removing grave
possibility in the case.

An assignment of a desert land

If an entry is abandoned, the land
