DOG COLLAR IS
FOUND ON EEL

Willimantic, Conn.-John Balineh
Of West Warren captured in the Qua
ooag river, mile below Wilmantic, a
giant eel with dog collar on its neck.
The eel was AZ inches long, as large
around the body as the wrist Of an or
iinary sized man and weighed 13
pounds.
Balinski killed the eel in low wa
.er, 1t evidently having been caught In
he pool where it was captured when
he tide went out.
The collar, of the sort worn by a
small dog, was securely locked about
ts neck, and so tight as to cause the
skin to bulge out around the edge.
rhe initials "W. r. c." and the name
Prince" were engraved on a silver
lameplate.
The eel's back was badly SCARED,
showing where it had been speared on
yarious occasions. Four fish hooks
With lines attached were found in the
Monsters mouth.
1T was almost impossible for me to
hold the eel after l grabbed it." said
3alinski, "for it would twist and
,quirm about in my hands with ease.
finally got it between two stones.
md. drawing my knife, cut its throat.
About the only thing 1t Is good for is
O chop it up and feed 1t to the chick
ems. The collar will keep as a souve-

S. 8. F. EXTENSION
SERVICE NOV. 10.

Charles G. Arnold, superintendent of
Saginaw & Flint railway, stated We'd
nesday that the Bay City division of
road will be opened November and
that limited cars would then run from
Detroit to Bay City. Many other chan
ges will be made at this time. A new
schedule is being devised and Just what
changes will be made has not been
announced
An enviable record has been establi-
shed by the Saginaw & Flint railway
during the five years ef it's operation,
IN that there have been no serious
accident.
Mr. Arnold stated that he was taking
every precaution to make the Bay City,
division as safe as the original division
As soon as the entire road is equipped
for the AuSauble power the cars will
run In trains as the demand for service
increases, thus doing away with many
different sections. This will tend to
avoid any possible misunderstanding of
the orders from car dispatcher by the
motorman or conductor, it is thought.
The cars are nearly all equipped for such
service and the overhead construction
from Flint to Birch Run is now ready
for the Au Sable power The remainder
of the road will be completed by Move
mber l, it is thought. The present volt
age of $50 will be increased to 1,20O
volts for the new service.
The ofiicesof car dispatcher and super
intendent will remain in Clio. Whether
any of the other officers will be changed
has not been learned.

ARRESTED...S

Herman Yaster of Clio, 27 years of
age, was shot and seriously wounded
at Saginaw by Lieut.. Parker Owen last
Sunday morning in a scuffle at the cor
ner of Water street and James avenue.
Yaster was removed to st. Mary's hos
pital where an operation was performed
ons him by DR.. w. S. Connery Monday
and the bullet was removed. The injured
man was reported to be resting quietly
late last night and his chances for recov-
cry are said to be favorable. The bullet
struck him just below the heart and
took a downward course. Had it swerved
upward it would have killed him.
Lieut.. Owen states that he was sent
to the Water street district on a spe-
cial matter by Chief Kain and while
walking along the sidewalk at 11:35
a, m. noticed five young men at the
northeast corner of Hayden and Water.
They had evidently been drinking and
Yaster was acting in adisgracefull man.
ner. Lieut.. Owen told him to desist and
in turn Yaster said he was insulted. He
thsn informed Yaster thrt he was au
officer and started to take him away
when one of the others young men drew
a razor and told Yaster not to go. How
ever the two proceeded along the street
until near James when Yaster started
to resist andLieut, Owen in order to quiet
him struck him over the head with re-

bed the officer and the two went to the
walk, Lieut.. Owen under Yaster He
reports that Yaster then endeavored to
strike him over the head with bottle
containing liquor, and in the ensuing
struggle the revolver was discharged.
Yaster arose to his feet and stumbled
across the street, partly falling and
apparently trying to hide behindlsome
freight cars standing on the siding Lieut.
Owen secured his prisoner, took him to
the Armory and called the Central sta
ton. Officers Smith and Schoenhoft
together with the patrol appeared and
Yaster was taken the the station where
DR.. Connery was callsd and ordered the
man removed to st. Mary's hospital.
Chief Kain in speaking of the matter
Monday afternoon said that Yaster had
been booked twice before at the station
as an intox and reports from the sheriff
at Tuscola country said he had been in
trouble there. He weighs.1s0 pounds and
is bigger than Lieut.. Owen. Lieut. Owen
says the revolver was accidentally dis
charged in the scuffle.

May Cut Price Of Fuel

A tremendous upheaval in the oil
refining business is predicted on the
propable results of new process by
which the Standard Oil interests which
control patent on the process propose
to increase the amount of gasoline
obtainable from crude oil.
The process involves an entirely new
method of making gasoline since it
opens the way for breaking up the
hydrocarbons of petroleum into what
ever combination needed and condensing
under compression.
The new process will reduce the
percentage of fuel oil. 1t is understood
fuel will appear in the Kansas markets
in few weeks and will sell for about
four cents less a gallon thanthe present
price of gasoline.
1t is believed it eventually will be
possible to convert rs per cent of
crude oil into gasoline.
