very filthy depredations about the out
buildings. Officers were notified of this
matter also, but as in the case of the
elevator and factory, could find no evil
dence on which to detect the culprits or
make an arrest.
The fact of the matter is that the
board of supervisors made a mistake
when they concentrated the sheriff s
force in Flint instead of having depu-
ties stationed at various strategic
points in the county as was the prac-
tice for many years. No man can have
as thorough knowledge of local condi.
tions as resident officer and no other
is so quickly available in case of trou-
BILE as such an officer, besides which
there are points of economy, important
points, that favor the old system.

Bad Auto Wreck

Rumors were current in Clio, Tues
day, that an automobile containing a
party of men had been wrecked, and
the men badly injured, near Birch Run.
AS nearly as we can learn, the accident
occurred at the bridge over the Cass
river, this side of Frankenmuth juno
tion, where the driver lost control of a
big touring car which finally struck a
telephone pole and turned over several
times. The party in the machine con-
sisted of five Detroit real estate men
who were on their way to Houghton
Lake to open resort subdivision. Fred
E. Nicholson, driver of the car, was
very severely injured and may die,
while all of the other members of the
party were more or less seriously hurt,
it being necessary to take all of them
except two, to hospital in Saginaw.

riage to Sidney Baldwin, Sept. 25, 1877.

FRANCHISE
WON VERY EASILY
VOTERS FAVOR PROPOSITION BY
l66 TO4
Flint Electric Co. Plan to Take Over
Local Plant and Begin Continuous
Service About June First

Contrary to the general expectation,
the election held Monday to pass upon
a franchise to the Flint Electric Com
pany was almost wholly one-sided
affair, there being 166 votes for the
proposition to four against. A notice
able feature of the election was that
quite number of ladies took advant-
age of their privilege in such matters
and voted. The Messenger believes
the people of Clio acted wisely in the
matter, because the service is likely to
be of very high class and the rates
will be subject to revision by state
authorities should any occasion ever
exist. We hope and believe such occa-
sion will not arise, because. as Manager
Beard says, it will be to the interest of
the company to give satisfactory SER
vice at as low rate as possible in or
der to secure the largest number of
patrons.
Mr.. Beard informs us that it is the
plan of the Flint Electric Company to
take over Mr.. O'Rourke's plant about
the first of June from which time on
ward twenty-four hour service will be
given and the new rates will apply.
The local plant will be operated until
the transmission line from Flint to Mt.
Morris, now in building, is completed,
after which current will be furnished
t. Clio, via Mt. Morris, through the old
high tension wires of the S. & F. Ry.,
which have not been ii use since
AuSable power began to be used on the
road several months ago Local service
wiring will be continued in use until a
new system can be constructed which
will be done some time during the sum-
mer months. The common council will
doubtless consider the various contracts
for street lighting offered by the COM
pany at an early date.
Mr.. O'Rourke informs us that his
plans for the future are not at all set
tied, as he has several propositions in
his line of business under consideration.

BURGLARS IN CLIO
MAKE PETTY HAULS
BREAK INTO THE ELEVATOR AND
TABLE FACTORY
Residence of Irwin Hurd, in Thetford,
Also Entered, but Thieves Get
Small Loot

Some time last Friday night burglars
forced an intrance into the Office of F.
M. Houghton & Co. and into the Office
of the Gillett Manufacturing Co., Sc
curing about SO. 90 in change from the
till-at the elevator and about 81. 90 from
the table factory. A small amount of
clothing was also taken from the eleva-
tor. Entrance was gained at the ele-
vator by breaking a window and at the
table factory by prying up window
in the engine room. The burglars evil
IDENTIFY tried to open the safe at the
table factory, which should have been
very easy job, as it was unlocked,
but not understanding the matter, they
turned the knob the wrong way, and
locked instead of opening it. This
caused Manager r. N. Gillett little
trouble as he had to make trip to his
home, Saturday morning, and hunt up
the combination before he could get in
to his own safe. At the elevator the
safe had not been tampered with so far
as could be seen,
1t has been suspected that the rob-
berries may have been committed by
members of band of Gypsies that has
been staying in this vicinity, as one of
them had small job done at the table
factory few days ago and they were
also seen about the elevator. But this
is mere conjecture and there is really
no reliable evidence connecting any
known persons with the commission of
the crime.
AS several petty thefts had occurred
previously in this vicinity, Sheriff Green
was notified of the burglaries, and
promptly came to Clio, but inasmuch as
there were no tracks and no clue of any
kind to guide him he was unable to ac-
complish anything.
On Sunday, the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Irwin Hurd, of Thetford township,
was entered, the thieves prying up a
window in order to do so. The house
was thoroughly ransacked. draws being
opened wherever there were any and
rugs torn up from the floors. All of
the labors of the thieves amounted to
little, however, as they only secured a
pocketbook containing a small amount
of money, and took nothing else SO far
as has been discovered. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hurd were visiting friends in Mt. Nor
ris when this occurred and their near
est neighbors were also away, facts of
which 1t seems the thieves must have
been cognizant as they entered the
house from the side where they were
not likely to be observed. Feeling dis

TESTING SHOWS UP LOAFERS
man VIII Keep a Cow on Which
He Does Not Make Profit.

fBy G. r. INGALLS,, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
Cow testing shows the money max
ers. The best COWS in many herds are
returning profit of 500 or more
COW kept do as well. !
The loafers, the cows that consume
more than they return, are quickly
spotted and eliminated when the cowi
test is used. No successful merchant
handles line of goods on which bel
loses money; likewise, no progressivel
dairyman will milk COW on which he
does not make profit. The milking
of COWS is straight business PROPOSE
ton and no farmer can afford to spend
his own time or pay high priced labor
to milk cows which do not pay for
their board. Let's make the 500 re-
turn per COW our standard
To build up a profitable herd the
COW test is indispensable. 1t enables
the dairyman to quickly get a high
producing herd by selecting heifers
from only the best cows. In this con.
nection the sires that are capable of
transmitting dairy quality and tenn
permanent to their offspring can be
proved. The very general practice of
sending mature bulls to the block,
when they are just in their prime for
breeding purposes, is detrimental to
our dairy industry and should be
stopped.
Cow testing also pays because sur
plus stock of both sexes sells for high
er prices when buyers can see what
the ancestors of these animals have
done in the line of milk and butter fat
production.
When using the test, farmers may
