The turn into profit of some OF

Mccall of Ell Centre accidentally

that Mccall was attracted and ne

He found them excellent, and now

opolous committed in his family, the
Greek might now be shining shoes
instead of travelling eastward in
shackles.
Bithos passed through Abilene
this morning, bound for New York
City. 81 am happy in this part OF
the country" he said And he was
happy, for after a two years chase
in half the states of the union, he
had gained revenge.
Georgopoulos will have to stand
trial in Greece for the murders,
Bithos says. The penalt will be
Imprisonment in chains-a living
death-if he is found guilty.
Bithos says that Georgopoulos
murdered his brother-in-law through
love of a Zolohavan girl, who did
not return his affection. The MUIR
dered man, according to Bithos, was
a brother of the favored youth.
The other murder, Bithos said,
was that of twelve-year-old boy,
a son of the man whose testimony
was instrumental in sending Georg-

crime.
The brothers of Georgopoulos,
who swore he had been in this

of perjury, and were bound over for
trial by the district court in Topeka

4. c. LIFTS TELLS OF MICHIGAN
Tells of the Lakes, Where WeatheH
Is Cool.

I'D in Michigan, August 14th--
Editor Reflector: Thinking per-
haps our friends would like to know
something of upper Michigan will
write what have learned of the
place. Torch lake lies east OF Grand
Traverse bay and is to miles
wide and IS miles long. 1t is sit
uated on the upper peninsula and
connects with a chain of lakes at
Clam. On entering Clam lake is a
small outlet which has bridge that
swings, used for freighting mer-
chandise to Clam which has one
store, postoffice7 and boat houses.
They get all supplys from Alden,
which is a nice little town on the
P. NJ. railroad. Small boats go up
to Belaire. When these little steam
ers come to a bridge the whistle
blows three times and a man goes
to the middle of bridge where he
turns the bridge for boats to pass
with a crank. Here we enter Clam
lake which is four miles long, then
enter Grass river which is eight
miles long and about 80 feet wide,
very crooked. The little steamer
has all it can do to get through the
turns being so short. Then 1t enters
Grass lake, about the size of Clam
lake. Here we come to town on
a railroad named Belaire which has
saw mill and a good many stores.
This is as far up as we have been.
The natives are very good farmers
on this peninsula. They are rap
idly developing it into the fruit bust
ness. Will have quantities Of APP
pies and peaches All kinds of small
fruits, currants and blackberries are
very plentiful now. Potatoes and
beans are the money makers. VIII
have a great crop of both as 1t rains
most every other night. Weather
is cool and some days are most too
cool. Last Sunday we sat by lire.
Heavy sweaters are in demand. A
great many people are here from
Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa
and Ohio. There are SOME very
pretty homes on this beautiful lake,
all located as near the shore as pos
sible. We catch pike, pickerel and
black bass.
