victed on two counts, one of wife
desertion and another Of refusing
to provide for his four children,
was sentenced to two years at hard
labor in the penitentiary at Lansing
on each count, making, term OF
four years. 1t looks as II the law
cannot be too severe in Furnishing q
man who will desert wife and
four children, such as Conant did.
Conant was not the least bit phased
by the sentence but was anxious to
get started for the penitentiary,
which was a queer condition for
such a case. Judge King pronounc-
ed the sentence this morning, the
verdict having been brought in by

Tw otrials before the jury we're
completed yesterday and the jury
was out on the Miller-Rumold case
at o'clock this afternoon.
Francis Murcer was given judg-
fent against Olive B. McComhs for
$500 which was due her on a note
and mortgage held against the Nc
Combs property in the west part Of
town. Mccombs asked for $500
damages from Mrs. Murcer. He
claimed she would not release when
he had a chance to sell the property
and in this way she hindered the
sale. The court dismissed this claim
and ordered the mortgage and note
paid off. S. s. Smith was attorney
for Mrs. Murcer.
In the case of T. J. Getz vs.. Fred
Stratlow the defendant was given
judgment for $104.75. Oct, 1,.1s14,
Stratlow took charge of a creamery
at Hope belonging to Getz and
agreed to run 1t for a certain per-
ccntage of the net profits. Stratlow
paid Getz $50 after he had been in
charge two months. Getz claimed
there had been profits during that
period amounting to about $50 or
800, for which he sued to collect.
SGratlow claimed there was not
that much and evidence seemed to
prove there were no profits what
ever 1 nthat time, and the jury
ordered the $50 returned to the de-
iendant and also $54.75N for cream
cry supplies which he had pur-
chased.
