Detroit

William M. Horton, resident of this
county from the time of his birth until
two years ago last September when he
removed to Detroit, was struck by q
street car in Detroit, Tuesday evening,
and so badly injured that his death re.
suited shortly after. Mr.. Horton was
employed as collector for the White
Sewing Machine Co., and had complet-
ed his days work and left the Office to
return home. As he started to cross
the street cars were coming from both
directions and when the Car going west
had passed he started on only to be hit
by the car coming from the opposite
direction, which was supposed to stop
at the other side Of the street but with
new motorman running the car was
not under control and the fatal accident
was the result. Mr.. Horton who was
AZ years old on September last, was "a
son Of Mr. and Mrs. G. d. Horton of
Owosso township, and previous to going
to Detroit had resided in the city for
several years, being connected with the
post Office service for a time and was
later in the employ of w. L. Parker.
He had good position in Detroit and
was doing well. He is survived by his
wife and one son, Grant, who brought
the remains here Thursday and the
funeral services will be conducted this
afternoon from the home of his parents
in Owosso township, Rey. John Sweet

The Republican primaries held last
evening named ticket which should
prove popular with the electors, COM
posed as it is of wide. awake, progress
i've men, good share of whom have
proven their ability to serve the public
in an official capacity in most salts
factory manner. As forshadowed last
week, DR.. Gaylord N. Finch heads the
ticket for mayor, having been noIni-
mated without opposition. We are con-
6dent in the belief that Dr. Finch would
give the city an excellent administra-
tion and we bespeak for him the hearty
and united support of the party. The
re. election of Arthur FL. Dumond for
city clerk and Gustave F. Friegel for
municipal justice should be beyond
question. Both of these gentlemen
have been number one officials, devot.
ing their entire time and energies to
their duties. Asa T. Wright showed
his running ability by defeating two
popular opponents for the nomination
for treasurer although he did not an
nounce his candidacy until after both
the others had been in the field several
days. Mr.. Wright will prove to be a
strong man on the ticket, as he is we'll
known and liked throughout the city.
With single exception the nominees
for supervisors have served their wards
in the past, the nominee in the fifth
being the only new man. If the citi-
zens wish to continue the present strong
repre- sentation on the board of super
visors 80 that Owosso can MAINTAIN a
commanding influence on the board
these men should be reelected. Of
the six candidates for aldermen, three
are members of the present council and
each has striven to do the best possible
for the interests of the entire city.
The other candidates received the
nomination unsought, their names
being presented by friends who believe
they will give good service If elected.
For municipal constable, Frank r.
Forster, the present incumbent, was re-
nominated without opposition.
