and then cross to the west side of the

or whether it will go straight out Shia-

the town line between Rush and New
Haven, with a new bridge across the
Shiawassee near the McAvoy farm, is
still unsettled. On Wednesday large
delegation of Owosso citizens and sey.
eral citizens from New Haven township
called on State Highway Commissioner
Rogers at his cffice in Lansing to urge
the selection of the road straight north
the east road-and this morning a
delegation from Henderson is in Ian
sing to ask that the road cross the river
at the Goss Commissioner Rogers has
not as vet intimated what his decision
will be- 1t has been suggested that a
compromise may be agreed upon by
which the east route will be selected
with the understanding that a county
road will be built running mile east
from Henderson to connect with the
trunk line This will provide good roads
for practically all parties interested and
as the county system is extexded the
road on the west side of the river can
be improved as rapidly as possible.

MURDERED
Young Russian Fatally Stabbed by
Fellow COuntryman Assassin
Escapes Capture.

During the past "a hours there have
been no new developments in the muir
der case which has kept the officers
busy since Tuesday night. Great ex-
element was created about nine o'clock
Wednesday evening, when the MUIR
derer Wscily Kalanechinpo appeared at
the car of the Michigan Central work
train near the sugar factory, bare
headed, withoutscoat or shoes, and en-.
tering at once grabbed loaf Of bread
and piece of bologna and began eat
ing the same. The men in the car
were considerably frightened, some Of
them running away while few at.
tempted to capture the man, closing
the car door but the fellow got away by
jumping out the other side and disaR
peared in the darkness, going north on
the track. Officers were summoned
and a search lasting until after mid
night undertaken by them and others
who VOLUNTEERED, all being well armed.
Up to this morning no trace of the
fugitive has been found. He is known
to have had more than $50 in his
possession and if he can succeed in
getting away from this part of the
state without being detected it will
be hard to locate him. A photograph
of Kalanechinpo was found in his be-
longings and cards bearing his likeness
have been sent broadcast to police
officers so that in the end will probably
be picked up.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
Wednesday in accordance with the
facts and the body of Wasilkow was
taken to Saginaw for burial.

Capture Turtles for Living.

Three thousand pounds of mud turtles
is the enormous amount that has been
taken from Pine river within the past
four weeks by Floyd Sharp of Owosso
and Albert Root of Morrice. The turtle
men began operations in the upper
river and have gradually worked their
way down stream until last week they
were trapping three miles below the
dam. The region down stream was not
as fertile as their previous camping
ground and after few days they left
for other localities. Since May these
two men have handled over seven tons
of turtles shipping them to Pittsburg
and Philadelphia markets. Most Of the
turtles have been trapped in rivers in
the vicinity of Owosso.
Sharp and Root go into the business
for all they are worth making regu-
lar summer business of it, They start
early in the spring with camping out
fit and travel from one river to another.
Both parties are well acquainted with
the turtle business having been engaged
In 1t during the summer months for
several years. They are young fellows
and full of business.
Mud turtle trapping has not become
very extensive and for the most part
people following 1t are compelled to use
their own ingenuity in catching them.
These men have used the same trapping
system for several years, which is en-.
tirely original with them. Owing to
the fact that they have not received a
patent on the trap as vet they requested
that their methods be not made public.
During their stay in this city several
"big fellows" were landed. Wednes.
day three averaging As pounds were
taken from the river below and many
of the same weight and larger were
caught when the men were above the
city.-Alma Record.

GREATEST STORM OF THE YEAR
Lightning, Hail, Rain and Wind do
Much Damage-Rain OF lnesti-
mable Value.

Central Michigan received good
soaking between Friday evening and
Sunday forenoon the value of which to
the growing crops it would be impos.
sible to estimate. Rain had been badly
needed in this county for some time
and we surely received generous sup.
ply during the SO hours. Early Friday
evening little rain fell accompanied
by some hail and for more than an hour
afterward the sky was continually
bright with such ap electrical display
as Is seldom seen here. Following a
particularly sharp crash of lightning
hail stones averaging as large as good
sized walnuts-and many measuring
FIVE and a half inches in circumference
came pouring down, straight down
fortunately, until the lawns were al
most white with them, such hail stones
as are rarely ever seen, as hard as any
ice could possibly be, most of them as
clear as a crystal. The fact that there
was no wind saved thousand of dollars
to the property owners of the city and
the surrounding territory where the
hail fell, as it was the greatest damage
was to the glass in the greenhouses Of
Sunnyside and the Owosso Floral Co.,
nearly every pane in the eleven houses
of these firms being broken. The loss
to Sunnyside will exceed $1,000, while
the Floral Co., loss will approximate
5000. Many panes of glass were also
broken in buildings and residences
about the city but the loss in the in
diyidual cases was small. Fortunately
the growing crops escaped without
serious damage. The lightning in this
storm and the succeeding ones Satur-
day and early Sunday morning put
many telephones out of commission,
struck the residences of Mrs. Elizabeth
Dingwall, corner Of King and Shiawas-
see streets, setting fire to bed, OF Mrs
Jenkins, 51S River street, burned out
one of the big transformers at the plant
of the Consumers Power Co., stunned
Miss Tena Carr and Mrs. Chas. B. Gal.
loway, shattered large tree near the
plant of the Independent Stove o..
The storms will long be remembered.
