FORTUNE TELLER
LIFTS 20 DOLLARS
ANDREW LUND's FORTUNE PROVES
TO BE BAD
Gypsy Woman Looks at Hand, Then at
Pocket Book; Then Andrew
. Looks-Shy Twenty

Monday morning band of Gypsies
struck town, the women of the party
Immediately starting campaign OF
fortune telling in the business places.
Their plan was first to get chance to
examine a persons hand and then ask
to see their purse or pocket book. In
most places they failed to accomplish
much and quickly went out, but at
Mccormick & Conlee's store one of the
women managed to get a grasp on the
hand of Andrew Lund, well known
elderly citizen. Very soon the gaily
dressed lady had his picket book.
Andrew hung onto the pocket book, but
the woman hung on also, and finally in
one way or another, it was opened and
the woman extracted several bills. Then
Andrew objected strenuously and dur
ing the argument a twenty dollar bill
dropped to the floor. Andrew, of course,
stopped to recover the bill and when he
arose the woman handed back some of
the money, but when Mr.. Lund counted
it he found one twenty dollar bill was
missing. He. of course, charged the
woman with having taken it, and she
swore by all the strange gods of Romany
Rye that she had not, turning her pock-
cts wrong side out and submitting to
search such as could conveniently be
made. Deputy Sheriff E. l.. Powers
was called, but inasmuch as Mr.. Lunn
said it had been some time since he had
counted the money, and the woman de-
MED having taken it. the party was
ordered out of town and the matter was
dropped. 49, No doubt Mr.. Lund lost
his money, and it is quite likely that if
he had sworn out warrant and had the
woman locked up for short time he
might have recovered it. Present
methods of dealing with these people
are inadequate, they are simply driven
from one locality to another, taking all
sorts of tribute as they go. There should
be some means of locking them up as
vagrants, which they undoubtedly are.

Threatened d to Shoot

Pine Run has line fence feud that
for time threatened to have some of
the tragic features peculiar to the
mountains of Kentucky. 1t appears
that Danny Kitelinger bought piece
of residence property adjoining that of
John McGarvey and wished to erect a
line fence between the places. The To-
cation of the line is matter of dis
pute, a matter which Mr.. Kitelinger
says he offered to arbitrate and which
Mr.. McGarvey declined, but be that as
it may. when Mr.. Kitelinger with a
helper started to construct said fence
Mr.. McGarvey appeared with a shot
gun and told them if they did not desist
he would fill them as full of holes as a
peek-a-boo waist. They believed him
and quit, but made complaint to Deputy
f. l.. Powers, who on investigation
recommended the arrest of the hostile
Mr.. McGarvey on charge of assault.
The prosecutor ordered accordingly and
on Friday the accused was brought be-
fore Justice Fuller and released on a
bond of $4,000 to appear for trial on
Saturday at 300 O. clock.

Hands Us One

The man who does not appreciate a
word of commentator is ''queer crit
ter" We don't belong to that type of
queerness, and, frankly. our sense of
humility is occasionally subordinated to
feeling of satisfaction when some one,
competent to Judge, says cheering
and approving word regarding our work.
The following extract from a recent
personal letter to The Messenger editor,
written by Geo. Purvis, editor of the
Dawson Index, gave us a large meas
ure of pleasure, because Mr.. Purvis
himself gets out paper of great
deal more than ordinary merit. one that
we have had occasion to admire each
week as it has come to our desk. This
is what Mr.. Purvis says he thinks of US
and our sincere hope is that we deserve
a mere portion of his good opinion:
Dawson, Mich, April a, 1914.
Bro. Reed: have intended to write
you for some time, as being a strange
man in Genesee county, myself, l
thought possibly a word of cheer from
one stranger to another might help
some. On the start, wish to congrat-
ulate you on the neat and clean sheet
you are getting out. have no hesita-
tion in saying that. / believe you are
getting out the best weekly paper (from
every viewpoint)in this county. l have
only been here since September, but l
have noted the vast Improvement you
have made in The Messenger, not only
in the improved typographical appear
ance, but in the increased amount of
reading matter and advertising. Your
output shows that you have good press
and good type and pretty good idea of
what constitutes good weekly paper.
One of my greatest pleasures is to look
over my exchanges, and of the whole
lot yours is the most interesting. You
are working hard and deserve to meet
with success. Here is hoping you do. :"
GEO. PURvIs.

The schools, of Birch Run, were

Geo. w. Morley, for half a century
head of the wholesale hardware firm of
Morley Bros, in Saginaw, died in Lou

Carrollton has a newly organized bus

terprisss for the village.
Mrs. Tobey, the first school teacher
in Tuscola county, died recently in Cali

and her salary was S1.50 per week.
1t appears from the Otisville Star
that Ira Garnsey has been advertising
his wife and the latter comes back by
saying that Ira's bed and board has

and that she has no intention of leaving

Miss Blanche ingalls,, Chesaning's wo-
man marshal, wouldn't be bluffed when
the supersensitive council appointed
her to the position. She accepted and
made an enviable record. Then the
council tried to bluff her about her sal
ary and offered to pay her only part of
what it had previously paid a man.
Once more it didn't work. She started
suit and the council paid. But the fun
niest part of it all is that the big bluff
was pulled by Miss Ingalls, herself and
successfully. Much as the council
wished to be rid of their appointee,
they did not know how to go about it.
But all the time Miss Ingalls, knew that
she had no right to the Office at all, as
the law says it shall only be held by an
elector. So she made her bluff stick,
acted as marshal, did what a marshal
should do, but not often does, and col
lected every last cent of her pay. Then,
having given the men a little lesson in
capability and cool nerve, she resigned.
