HIS Eye WAS INJURED
Bert Taft Held Match Over An Auto
Gas Tank

Bert Taft. who resides on Court
street. was the victim of an accident
Friday noon which almost resulted in
the loss of the sight of both his eyes.
Mr.. Taft was tinkering with his automo-
bile getting in shape for spring, and ac-
cidentally dropped piece of tape in
the gasoline tank. He opened the cock
at the bottom and no gas appeared and
he sounded the tank with a stick and
found no gasoline. AS there had been no
gasoline in the tank for two months he
thought it safe to light match and
fish out the tape so that it would not
get into the carburetor. He held one
match in the tank until it burned out
and nothing happened, but when the sec
ond match was ignited the gas exploded
and fared in his face, burning off his
eyebrows and lashes and burning his
left eyeball Ii was a narrow escape
from loss of sight. DR.. Gardner was
called. Mr.. Taft was kept in dark
room for several days.

\. ?. CASH, The MIN
Appointed BY Postmaster
General To Succeed G.
F. Brown.

4 telegram received Wednesday morn
ing announced the appointment at Wash
ington. OF Vincent p. Cash to succeed
c. +. Brown as postmaster at Alma,
thereby bringing to a close one OF the
most bitterly contested contests ever
pulled off in Gratiot county.
Vincent p Cash was born i'll Jackson
county in the early sixties, his early
education being acquired i'll the district
schools of his native county. At the
age of Is Mr.. Cash entered The high
school at Manchester, fro,I which he
graduated with high honor four years
later. He later was a student at the
University of Michigan. For several
years he was a resident of Seville town
ship. living at Riverdale, where he was
engaged in the elevator business. Two
years ago he moved TO Alma that his
children, two boys and girl, might
have the advantages of our city schools.
Mr.. Cash with his family, occupy the
house at the corner of Grant Avenue and
Center street
In the selection of Vincent F. Cash,
as postmaster to succeed {. L. Brown,
the present incumbent OF the Office, the
department has selected man thorough
| " competent to give to the patrons of the
office all administration that will not
only reflect credit upon himself, but the
political party which he represents as
well. Mr.. Cash has for some years been
identified as secretary of the various
| state and district bean jobbers associa-
tons. and his work and business train
ing has been along lines that should fit
him for executive head of the Govern
ment business in Alma.
Politically, V. p. Cash has been one of
the old time Democrats of Gratiot coun-
ty and has experienced the sensation of
defeat time and again when prevailed
upon to permit his name to be used to
complete a Democratic ticket in a Re-
publican stronghold. knowing at the time
that defeat was as certain as the nomina-
tion.
| V. p. Cash has not mixed up in the
contest waged by the several candidates
for the Office and if his appointment is
confirmed by the Senate he will have
secured the best paying government
position in Gratiot county, largely as a
result of the bitter contest waged by the
original contestants.
