SOMETHING OF THE
EARLY INHABITANTS
Of OT|SCO LANDS
SETTLERS STOOD AS COMPACC
BODY At IONA LAND
BIDDING.
LEANING STICK SHOWED
HOUSE TO BE EMPTY
Early Industries and Building Oper-
ations of the Town.

Last week something was said about
the settling of Otisco township by
Amos Russell, Rufus Cook and John
l.. Morse. An early authority on the
history of this township says that these
men were emphatically the pioneers
of the township; men Of nerve and
muscle, OF indomitable will and ener-
gy; men Of the sort who leave their
impress wherever they tread and give
tone and character to the community
in which they live.
The early settlers went onto their
lands before they were in the market,
and consequently were squatters.
When Cook, Morse and Russell arriv-
ed in the township the government
surveyors were still at work The men
entered into an agreement between
themselves that when the lands were
offered for sale by the government,
each one should have his own farm,
without his right being interfered with
by the others If any outsider offered
to bid for either of the farms he was
to be thrown into Grand river by the
other men. The bidding was made at
Ionia. Asa Spencer was chosen to do
the bidding on the respective claims,
while the others formed themselves in
to a committee of the whole to exc
cute justice upon any offender.
Only one person had the temerity
to interfere by bidding on their claims,
and he was Immediately surrounded
by the vigilants and fifteen minutes
was given him TO become missing or
pay the penalty of a swim in the river.
He cast one look at the determined
men and saw what his fate would be in
case Of his failure TO comply, and, in
the language of one of the men, he
went so quickly that they could not
see the dust for his coat tails.
During those early times the Meth
odists held camp meetings in various
parts OF the country, and one of the

CROTSER HAD OPERATION
IN LUDINGTON HOSPITAL

r. l.. Crotser underwent very SER
ious operation at the Paulina Stearns
hospital in Ludington last Saturday
for internal rupture. He came out of
the operation in good spirits and his
speedy recovery is expected.
When the surgeons had made the
incision they found that portion of
his intestines were not allowed to per-
form their functions because they had
grown together as a result of an opera
tion year ago for appendicitis. While
he was under the knife this condition
was also rectitied. Mr.. Crotser will
be confined to the hospital for several
weeks. His father lives at Ludington
and the son will be given expert care
while at that place. Mr. Crotser's wife
and children are here in Belding, as
sisting in taking care of the business.

brief history of the evolution of the
pipe organ from ancient times to
the present day. The productions Civ
en- were taken from the best compos-
ers Of France. Germany, Italy and
America. The selections used showed
the difference in taste OF the writer's
of each OF these countries. Mr.. Mckay
is the organist at the Christian Science
church at Grand Rapids. where the
largest organ in the state, with thous-
ands of pipes has recently been in
stalled He is one OF the leading ar
lists OF the state and possibly the best
known musician in this part of Michi-
gan. His music was very much ap-
preciated by the audience.
The selections rendered by Mrs Will
liams were also well received and
encores were responded TO with equal
ly good selections.
