Traer Paving Decision.

Special to Times -RepubIlcan.
Traer, Aug. II. - Judge W1iiett
handed down his decision in the Traer
paving cases. 1t will be claimed to be
virtually a victory for both sides, for
while the compliments had their as
sessments reduced s1.20 per lot, they
are compelled to pay the penalty and
interest, since the assessment has now
been declared legal. The plaintiffs also
asked that the costs Of the suit be paid
by the city, but the judge ruled that
part of the expense of preparing the
case was, in his opinion, unnecessary
and hence should not be taxed to the
city According only little more than
half of the expense must be paid by the
CITY. DR.. Nauerths valuation of his
east lot was accepted and his assess
ment reduced $50.

INVENTOR OF AIR
COOLED ENGINE IS
LOOKING FOR PLACE
JESSE b. BROWN, FORMER FORE
MAN IN ENGINE PLANT HERE
TO MAKE FARM TRACTORS

Jesse B. Brown, formerly a fore
man in the local gas engine plant
here and for several years an employe
in the Ford Motor company's plant,
was in Belding Monday and Tuesday.
Mr.. Brown is the patentee and owns
the patent rights for special air
cooled gas engine for automobiles and
farm tractors. He has been testing
some of them out in automobiles of
his own make and finds them to be
wonderfully efficient.
Mr.. Brown backed by capital is
looking for a location to start a gas
engine and farm tractor plant outside
of Detroit and looks with favor on
Belding. He was broached on the
matter by some Of the local citizens
while here. The engine, which Mr.
Brown was using in his machine here
had been used in travelling over $500
miles. Trips were made over rough,
sandy and hilly roads with heavy
loads and the engine carried the load
with wonderful proficiency. The es-
tablishment of an engine factory here
would be fine thing for Belding.

Elmer +. Fales began work last
week on clearing up the ruins of the

away the debris to the junk heap and
dumping ground.
The insurance adjusters were here
and made satisfactory adjustment
of the severe loss sustained by Mr..
Fales and although the amount re-
ceived did not cover his loss he was
well satisfied with the amount allow
ed him.
Mr.. Fales will now rebuild and put
the barn in much better shape and
more convenient than it was before,
making a number of changes in the
interior.
In connection with the livery and
dray business he will also continue
for time the manufacture of rope
ties. Mr.. Fales had recently secured
large contract for rope ties when
the fire came and put him out of
business, destroying large stock Of
rope and fixtures which he had just

This week Friday Belongs second
great Chautauqua will begin. For
an entire week the people of Belding
and vicinity will have on opportunity
of hearing the very best of enter
tainments and lectures at very low
price of admission.
As has been stated many times in
the Banner, season tickets may be Sc
cured at almost any business house
or office in Belding for the entire
course for $3.50 for adults and S1.25
for chilren. These tickets admit to
everyone of the % distinct enter
tainments to be found on the weeks
program. This brings the cost of
each entertainment down to 10 cents.
Just think of it! You can hear Pal
laria's great band, Alice Nielsen or
William Owen and company for the
small sum of 10 cents. Either one of
the attractions is we'll worth $500
and would cost you almost that much
in the cities. These are not the on
ly great attractions. The whole pro-
gram is veritable feast of good
things. Montraville Wood and his
gyroscope, the Music Makers, Ex-
Governor Shallenberger, Thomas
Brooks Fletcher and others are like
wise excellent and don't forget r. f.
Pattison Kline, the morning lecturer.
These lectures, which are entitled "a
Mans Thinking and His Nation" "A
Mans Thinking and His Children" !"
"A Mans Thinking and His Society"
will undoubtedly be worth your time
and attention.
The children's hour conducted by
Miss Conquist will begin promptly at
900 a. m, the morning lectures at
1000 a. m, the afternoon musicals at
2:30 p. m., the afternoon recitals or
lectures at 800 p. M, the evening
music at 1880 p. M, and the evening
at 8:15 p. m.
The cost of single admission to
enable one person to attend all the
the entertainments during the as
sembly is over 81. All these enter
tainments can be heard by the pur-
chaser of a course ticket for only
$3.50, if the ticket is purchased before
the first day of the Chautauqua.
The money for all season tickets
bought before the Chautauqua be-
gins goes to help pay the guarantee
which local citizens had to put up to
bring the assembly to Belding. Do
your "Chautauqua Shopping Early"
and help the guarantors.
The full program for the week as
sembly follows:

LAD MADE
EFFORT TO SECURE
CLOTHES CHEAP
TO PASS A FORGED
CHECK AT FRIEDMAN'S
STORE

Had it not been for A. Friedman's
carefulness in identifying a customer
before accepting a check from him,
he would have been the loser by SIS
last Thursday. A lad who claimed to
be Homer Zimmerman of Edmore
came to the store and wanted to buy
suit of clothes. He picked out
SIS suit and when it was wrapped up
he offered a check from the Edmore
bank made out to himself by A. E.
Curtis a grocer of that town.
Before accepting the check Mr..
Friedman called the bank at Edmore
to ascertain whether Curtis had a Gre
dit at the bank. He was told that the
mans check was as good as gold.
Still not being satisfied Mr.. Friedman
then called Mr.. Curtis, who informed
him that no such check had been writ
ten by him.
Between the time when Mr.. Fried
man called the bank and the time
when he called Curtis, the supposed
Zimmerman left the store and was
not seen afterward, neither could he
be found a few minutes later when
an order came over the wire from
Edmore officials to take the lad into
custody on a charge of forgery.
This is another instance to show
the care that should be exercised by
people before cashing checks for
strangers.
