Will Visit Cuba

Clio friends of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.
Beeman, of Boyne City. the former a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. |. M. Beeman, of
Clio, and well known here, will be inter-
ested in a recent article in Boyne
City newspaper relating to their foster
son, Enrique Beeman, who has started
on trip to his native home in Matan-
zas, Cuba.
Enrique Ortigosa, little homeless
Cuban boy, was taken into the home of
Mr.,and Mrs. Beeman eleven years ago
and given opportunities to gain an edu-
cation and make of himself a useful
citizen. His career since that time has
justified all the confidence of his bene-
factors. Doing them the honor to as
sumo their name, we can best give
some idea of his accomplishments by
quoting from the article before men,
toned:
During that time Mr. Beeman has
resided here he has completed q course
and been graduated with honors from
our high school, attended college and
successfully taught school aside from
gaining valuable business experience
in connection with the Beeman store.
Enrique is one of the best clerks in the
city, always pleasant and obliging, not
afraid to work and able to apply more
common sense to his work than the
average young man. He is a young
man of more than ordinary ability and
of whom Boyne City may we'll be
proud"

Another new departure. indicative of
growth, has been undertaken by the
Clio Condensed Milk Company this
week, in that cream buying stations
have been established at Otisville, Burt
and Montrose, where cream will be
taken in to be shipped to Clio and made
into butter. The Clio Condensed Milk
Go. has already gained an enviable
reputation for its butter, and this week
Manager Franzen has installed a 1900
ID. combined churn and worker by
means of which the cream will be
turned into the completed butter pro-

hands. This improvement is thoroughly
in keeping with the most advanced
practice in the manufacture of food

T|NKER'S SON.|N.LAW
SLAIN IN MEXICO
WAS A GENERAL IN THE FEDERBL
ARMY
Mr.. Tinker Was One of the Organizers
of The Clio Condensed
Milk Co.

Many of the residents of Clio met and
gained some acquaintance with u. W..
Tinker, during the time, about year
ago, when he was prominent in organ
izing The Clio Condensed Milk Co.. and
spent considerable time here. To those
who know him the story of some of his
misfortunes will awaken feeling of
sympathy as we'll as of interest. Mr..
Tinker was, a few years ago, one OF the
wealthy and prominent citizens of st.
Louis, Mo-, succeeding his father in
business as malster and brewer. Leg
islation adverse to the brewing business
and bank failure or two swept away
the larger portion of Mr.. Tinker's for
tune and resulted in his leaving his
home city, of which he once missed
being mayor by very narrow margin
Several years ago Mr.. Tinker's only
daughter met and married brilliant
young officer of the Mexican army,
Gen. Manuel Garcia Lugo, who repre-
sented his government at the Worlds
Fair and the jamestown Exposition.
Soon after their marriage the young
compile went to reside on the generals
great estate of 1000 acres near Her
manos, Mexico. Then the war broke
out and Gen. Lugo offered his services
to the defacto government and served
in the Federal army for some time, be-
ing in charge of the artillery at the
siege of Mexico City. At the battle of
Tampico he was dangerously wounded.
At the outbreak of hostilities, Gen.
Lugo sent his wife to the United States
and afterward wrote to her with some
frequency until late last year when the
letters ceased. For time it was known
that he was prisoner in Mexico City,
when, through appeals of Mr.. Tinker
and his daughter to the u. S. Depart
ment Of State, he was released and
started toward his hacie ida. After
that time all knowledge of MIN was lost
until. through the efforts of Senator
Stone, of whose daughter Mrs. Lugo
was classmate, and who took the mat
ter up 5y wire and cable, it was finally
learned that the unfortunate general
was executed about the first of Decem-
ber, but just where and by what author
ity was not disclosed. When last heard
from a younger brother, lieutenant
in the Mexican army. was with the gen.
eral and whether he, also, shared this
sad fate is unknown. Surely it seems
horrible burlesque that two ignorant
and depraved bandits and murderers,
like Villa and Zapata, having first
turned Mexico into huge grave yard,
should turn about and usurp and pros
titute the sacred functions of govern
ment.
Many of the facts stated above are
taken from an article which appeared
in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat of
Jan. l, from which we quote the clos
ing paragraph:
1t was pitiful sight in the corridor
of the Sc. James Hotel last night to see
Zach Tinker, one of the old guard in
the gayeties of st. Louis, shudder when
some one shouted Happy New Year."

ARTILLERY FEATURE IN WEST
Violent Bombardment by the Germans
All Along Border ls Feature
of Battle.

Paris.-Violent bombardment by the
Germans of positions of importance on
both the right and left wings Of the
allied battle front, with scattered at
tempts by infantry to break through
the Franco-British lines, were out
standing features of the official re
ports issued by the war office.
In fact, artillery duels were fought
along the whole of the front from the
sea to the banks Of the Moselle.
The most sustained cannonading OF
the German guns was against st. Die
which was under continuous rain OF
shells.
In point Of numbers Of guns and
men engaged, the most important con
flict was that waged by the Germans
in an effort to dislodge the French and
British troops, with Indian contingents
at Boiselle and other neighboring
trenches in the vicinity of Albert.
Here the Germans opened an attack
and their guns kept up an almost in
cessant cannonade, the artillery being
the advance of their infantry in futile
attacks, which were broken before they
reached the line of the allies first but
In each of them the allies presented
trenches. Two of these attacks were
made such solid front that the Ger
mans were not able to carry their ad
vance through.
