SAVED FROM DROWNING

EDWARD BINGHAM GOES DOWN
THIRD TIME.
Heroism and Presence OF Mind of Lee
Williams and Glen Henderson
While Crowd Looks On.

Edward Bingham, the 13-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. +. c. Bingham
nearly lost his life Monday when
he went through the ice while skat,

Young Edward was skating on
the thin ice with number Of other
school children. He was the leader
in "stumping' game which took
him in dangerous territory. When
he went through the ice. Glenn
Henderson, who was close behind,
nearly lost his life in an attempt
to save the sinking boy. When the
Bingham lad was going down for
the third time, young Williams
plunged into the cold water, drag
ged the unconscious lad from the
lake and while others stood around

and suspense, the Williams lad
threw Bingham over a barrel, pried
his mouth open with a pencil and
practiced all the scientific arts
known for the resuscitation of the
sdrowning. In the meantime Hen.
derson was running for a doctor
1t took the physicians nearly an
hour to bring Bingham back to life
and several of the townspeople are
talking about petitiOning for a
Carnegie medal for Henderson and
Williams.
Bingham was taken to his home
where he was confined to bed fol
two or three days. A previous long

experience might prove fatal. He Il

ONE PLUCKY FIGHTER
MATCH FOR CROWD
FLINT YOUTH, DRUNK. HARD TO
ARREST
His Affair With Birch Run and Clio
Officers Draws Record Ringside
Crowd -Jailsd

Frank McCabe, Film. man about %
years old, weight 130 pounds, speed
100 yards in 10 seconds and ap-
proximately 500 pounds of nerve
pressure, licked the towns of Clio
and Birch Run with handouts on
Wednesday night.
The youngster got his start in
Birch Run where, under alcoholic
anasthesia, he underwent the pain
OF hitting an old man. Birch Run
people there threw him out of town
and when they found how badly he
had acted, decided they wanted
him back again for punishment.
Hatless, and coatless, the man
broke away from his enemies in
Birch Run and started for Clio by
the S. s.. f. tracks. Half way here
he was picked up by the interur-
ban car in charge OF Conductor
Vess Butler Waiting for him on the
car were Deputy Sheriff Ed Dodge,

down Vienna street, handcuffcd,
with the posse at his heels. He had

The prisoner, who steadfastly re-
fused TO divulge his real name, was
taken 70 Saginaw Thursday morn

struck the aged man who was Sc
yerely beaten at Birch Run last
night. He claims one of his com
panions struck the blow, but ad
mits that he doesn't remember
what happened in the Saginaw
county town.
The man is an emplOye in one

MILK COMPANY
RESUMES BUILDING
MACHINERY UNLOADED AND
BOILERS READY
Financial End of Project Cleared Up
Satisfactorily and Work Promised
in Few Weeks.

The Clio Condensed Milk Co., af.
ter weeks delay, has resumed
work on the big factory now under
course of construction and, barring
accidents, will be ready TO manu-
facture milk within a few weeks.
For some time there has been
a misunderstanding concerning the
sale of $4,000 worth of preferred
stock which the Clio Board of
Trade agreed to dispose of. When it
was found difficult to sell the stock
in large blocks, it was deemed ad-
visable by some to endeavor to
take care of the amount by a loan
from the business men. BY com.
bination of the two schemes, part
of the business men subscribing for
stock and the rest loaning money
on stock, ii is thought the whole
deal has been satisfactorily adjust
ed.
At any rate the company appears
satisfied with the outlook and the
machinery which earlier in the week
they refused to move from the ears,
is now being installed in place.
Within the next day or two. the
engine. boilers. vats and condens
ing machinery will be in place and
ready for operation.
I'VE are certainly going through
with this. no matter what hap
pens" said superintendent r. w.
Doyle yesterday. I'VE have so much
of our money invested now that we
couldn't afford tG pull out no mat
ter what the business men do. But
there seems ,u have been no dispo-
sition on the part of the business
men to back down from their agree
ment to help finance the project
1t has been only question of ways
and means And the condensed
milk company is willing to take
chance on the honor of the Clio
business men, I expect the plant
will be ready to operate in a few
days" -r@
Although all the details of the
loan have not been disposed of, the
plant is progressing toward compile
ton and there Is no question that
at least the village is close to re-
alizatiOn of the twO-year.dream of
big milk condensory.

CONSERVATION reigned amongst
the farmers this week when the bot.
tom fell out of the egg market.
New York dispatches say that
the fact that the spring pullets
have begun to lay is the reason for
the drop in prices and they deny
that the boycott of the Detroit
Housewives league has anything
to do with it.
1t is a fact, however, that the
drop has come much earlier than
usual. Experts say the continued
mild weather has caused the hens
to abandon their strike.

Gasoline Tanks in Street.

The common council Tuesday
night repealed the ordinance regu-
lating the placing of gasoline tanks
in Vienna street and this week the
merchants have been very busy
shifting their tanks.
There has been for some time a
fight on about the location of the
gasoline tanks. w. III. Stout was the
first to put in an auto-filling sta
tion in the street
Others followed suit and even
tually the council passed an ordin.
ance forbidding the practice. Many
other merchants had their tanks
dangerously close to their build
ings.
Recently the council granted per-
mission to the Ford garage to put
station along the curb and i'm
mediately petition was presented
from some of the other merchants
asking the same privilege.
Within the past week commun.
ication was received from A. f.
Maynard, deputy state fire marshal
giving the opinion that while the
tanks were all right in the street
il they were kept locked at all times
the stations close to store build
were not safe Acting on Mr.. Mayn.
ards opinion, the council modified
the ordinance the other night to
suit the merchants of this town.
