CIRCUIT COURT
Criminal Cases Easily Disposed of
Other Matters Take up Much

Other Matters Take up Much
Time.
The September term of the circuit
court opened Monday, Judge s. 8.
Miner presiding.
There were but five criminal cases on
the calendar and they required little
time. Herbert Collins of Owosso, plead
guilty to violation of the local option
law and will be sentenced Monday,
Sept. %, being out on $500 bail until
that time. Seth @. Pulver attorney for
Collins stated that his client had plead
guilty on his advice. That a clerk in
his drug store had sold liquor twice
when he was out of the city but under
the law the proprietor was guilty and
there was no use of making defense.
Judge Miner in taking up the calen-
dar deplored the number of divorce
cases and urged the attorneys to use
their influence against divorces rather
than to start court proceedings, declar-
ing lawyer was unfit to practice who
would stir up trouble for personal gain.
John Bessinger of Owosso, also with
drew his plea of not guilty and plead
guilty of violating the local option law
and will be sentenced Sept. 30.
The cases against Charles Preece and
William Fredericks of Owosso, for local
option law violations were discontinued
on motion of Prosecuting Attorney
Collins because of insufficient evidence
Preece was tried once, the jury dis
agreeing, evidently taking no stock in
the evidence of a so.called detective
Dirk Hurga, who has since been arrested
himself for local option law violation.
The only liquor found at Preece's was a
few bottles OF wine locked in the cellar
which Preece said was for family use
and had been in the cellar for years.
Fredericks ran lunch room and only
an empty beer bottle was found. He
had received many shipments Of liquor
but it was said to be for family use.
Hiram Whitman of Perry, plead not
guilty to a charge of assault with in
tent to do great bodily harm less than
murder and his case was set for trial
Tuesday. 4
Leo Swihart of Hog Island" was dis.
charged on complaint of neighbor

Could Shine In Future on Dip
IomatIc Service.

Mrs. Titus carefully locked the Jam
closet, and told her two sons, eight
and ten years of age, that she was
going shopping.
IAN right, mom," came the chorus.
The street door had hardly shut
behind Mrs. Titus when the two
youngsters made a concerted rush for
the jam closet. 1t was locked. A
hunt for keys produced half a dozen.
Each one was tried patiently. but not
one fitted. The lock held, the jam
closet remained inaccessible.
What a shame" said Thomas, the
younger.
