Some Rassle. This

One of the most exciting wrestling
matches ever staged in these parts
occurred at Pine Run, Tuesday, two
husky boys of that neighborhood,
Porter Greenfield and VIM. Bone, be-
ing the principals. Catch-as-catch can
rules prevailed, Bill offering to bet
$500 that Port couldn't down him.
The latter declined to take money, but
said he needed little mild exercise,
whereupon he dug in" and claims to
have Topped his opponent twice inside
of two minutes. Mr.. Bone admits be-
jng thrown, but says he could have
mopped the whole of Pine Run with
his adversary but did not feel like hurt
ing mere kid. Well, it was good
clean sport and ''boys will be boys"

Made Long Trip

Assistant Prosecutor w. w. Black
ney made The Messenger sanctum
pleasant call Thursday, and gave the
editor some interesting details of a trip
of more than twelve thousand miles
through the Canadian Northwest and
the Western States of the Union, from
which trip he returned on Tuesday.
Mr.. Blackney's tour took him through
Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan
and over the new Grand Trunk Pacific
R. r. to Prince Rupert, within thirty
miles of the Alaskan boundary. Twelve
hundred miles of this journey over the
new railroad was through the noun
tains and unbroken forests. From
Prince Rupert Mr.. Blackney went to
Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles,
and in Sebastopol, Calf, he visited his
brother, c. w. Blackney, whom he had
not seen in 26 years. The latter is pro-
prietor of fruit ranch and two weeks
previous to Mr.. Blackney's visit was so
unfortunate as to lose his home and all
its contents by fire. On the return
journey the prosecutor visited Salt
Lake City. Denver, and many other
cities. As a matter of course he en-
joyed the trip greatly and his beaming
countenance testifies that it did him
good. Mr.. Blackney says, however,
that industry has been simply para
lyzed on the Pacific coast through the
European war and that the cities of
that section are filled with hundreds of
thousands of absolutely idle men.

{. 7. MIDDLETON
KILLED. NEAR FLINT
WAS TRYING TO ARREST MEN IN
AUTOMOBILE
Knocked or Fell from Machine and Sus.
tanned Fractured Skull, Resulting in
Hemorrhage of Brain.

One of the most shocking tragedies
that has taken place in Genesee county
in years, occurred last Friday evening
at about nine o'clock, when Emery T.
Middleton, a respected and widely
known farmer, living near Mt. Morris,
received injuries while trying to stop
two reckless auto drivers, which re-
suited in his death the following day.
The occurrence took place just south
of the Cornwell farm on the Flint road
and the circumstances that led to it
are, briefly, as follows: An auto party
consisting of Hiram Stratton, Elmer
Wilson, Louis Smith and Charles Long,
all of Flint, driving Stratton's ma
chine, had been to Birch Run, where,
admittedly, all had been drinking more
or less. Smith left the party at Birch
Run, because, as he is said to have
told the officers, he considered the men
too intoxicated to manage the car. The
others returned in the auto to a point
near the scene of the tragedy, where
they collided with milk wagon. Mr..
Middleton was driving toward Mt.
Morris at the time, and thinking the
reckless auto party should be taken
care of, he turned around and followed
them to the Cornwell farm, where they
stopped to repair tire. Here Mr..
Middleton telephoned the sheriff's Office
and was told to get the names of
the men and the number of their car, if
possible, and that an officer would leave
to intercept them at once.
Following this, Mr.. Middleton went
out into the yard and, it is presumed,
tried to detain the men until the ar
rival of the officer, but they declined to
be detained and drove out of the yard
with Middleton riding on the running

WILDER.

Mrs. Henry Wilder, formerly resi-
dent of Clio, but who has resided for
some years at Jackson, died suddenly
at her home in that city last Sunday,
at noon, following SO hours illness, of
acute Bright's disease. Mrs. Wilder's
death was quite unexpected, as she was
in Flint about ten days ago, being in
attendance upon the Butler family re-
union. at which time she was feeling
exceptionally well. Surviving deceased,
are the husband, two sons. one of
whom resides in jackson and the other
in Flint, and one daughter, Mrs.
Ruyerta Ward. also of Jackson. Ma
thaniel Butler. of Clio, and Barney
Butler, of Birch Run, were brothers of
Mrs. Wilder and Mrs. Adams, of
Saginaw, was sister. Mrs. Wilder's
remains were brought to Clio on We'd
nesday and funeral services were held
from the NJ. P. church at IL 80 O'Clock,
Rev. G. w. Greene officiating. Inter-
ment was in Woodlawn.

board. 1t appears that a struggle then
ensued and just as the auto with
Deputy Sheriff Chestnut came in sight,
Mr.. Middleton was seen by the officer
to fall from the rapidly moving car.
The deputy, finding it impossible to
stop the men, went to the assistance of
Mr.. Middleton who was found to be
uncon scious and was taken to the Office
of DR.. Hugh Graham at Mt. Morris,
where his injuries were found to con-
slst of a badly fractured skull and to
be of the most serious character.
The officers then returned to Flint,
and having obtained the number of the
car, soon had Wilson and Stratton
under arrest, a charge of intoxication
being entered against them pending
the outcome Of Middleton's injuries.
They have since remained in Jail.
Mr.. Middleton never regained con.
sciousness, severe cerebral hemorrhage
resulting from his injuries, and passed
away at DR.. Graham's home, early Sat-
urday evening. Funeral services, which
were largely attended. were held from
the late residence of deceased on Mon
day afternoon. Mr.. Middleton was a
prominent member of the Grange, a
former member of the state legislature,
and very useful citizen, whose un-
timely death is exceedingly deplorable.
He was IS years of age and is survived
by widow and two sons, the latter
being respectively IL and 20 years of
age.
A coroner's jury has been impanelled,
which met to take evidence in Flint last
Tuesday and after short session, ad-
journed for one week. 1t was at first
reported that Mr.. Middleton was struck
over the head with beer bottle but
the evidence has not as yet seemed to
substantiate this assertion, and the
character of the testimony taken at the
inquest would seem to Indicate that
some action is contemplated against
whoever may have furnished liquor to
the auto party.
Summing up this terrible occurrence.
it is evident that something should be
done, something tangible and effectual,
to protect innocent persons, whose
rights in the highways should be as
sacred as they are ancient, from the
reckless deviltry of debauched speed
ers, whose encroachments are constant
ly growing in frequency and wanton-
ness.
