THREATENED TO SHOOT
HIS WIFE

Paul Mckee of Grand Junction, was
arrested and brought to Paw Paw Sat
urday by Deputy Sheriff Fred Rien-
shaw, charged with having threatened
to shoot his wife. Arrangements had
been previously made before his exam
ination Monday to have Paul plead
guilty to just a simple assault, and he
was taken to Grand Junction before
Justice Fred Reams for that purpose.
Upon reaching the justice office he had
a change of heart, and pleaded not
guilty, which came as surprise to the
officers, and he demanded an examin-
alton. AS Prosecutor Burhans is busy
in circuit court, Paul will have to
wait for his examination, and can pre-
pare for a more severe examination
than was first intended.
He can get his pencil and paper
ready to write upon the subject,

the most important matters OF bust
ness transacted by the Board of Wa

During the past year number OF

resented themselves as meter readers

employed
1T therefore appears necessary that
some step should be taken TO properly

tn employees OF the Water Department,
and ! recommend that all meter readers
and spcial inspectors be required to
wear uniforms while ON duty"
The current payroll was set forth

instant favor. President Alfred ID.
Poole stating that other depNtment
employees such as policeman. park

and meter readers and inspectors
also should do so. The object of the
uniform will be to protect property
