HUMAN BONES ARE
FOUND IN ATTIC
Mystery surrounds the find
ing of part of human
skeleton in attic of Breeds
vile residence.

Prosecuting Attorney. Earl Burhans
and the sheriff's Office are trying to solve
the mystery which surrounds the find
ing of tine bones of an adult person,
which we're found in house at Breeds
vile one day last week.
The finding of the bones was matter
OF circumstance, and how they came to
to be there is the mystery. Whether
or not some murder had been committed
10 that community years ago, or whether
they we're used for demonstrating purpose
in school work, or some other purpose
is question. The officers of the county
are trying to find who they belong TO,
and how they came to be in the
attic of the house. Together with the
finding of the bones, Deputy Sheriff
Reershuttle of Grand Junction, who has
been working with the sheriffs force,
found some human hair about four
inches long which adds more perplexing
problems to the situation.
The house was built l3 years ago by
Mr.. Mac Niven, who now conducts
harness store in Lawrence, and was rent
Breedsville. Mac Niven sold the house
to William Lawton, who has occupied it
since Travis moved away.
Mrs. William Lawton sent her twelve
year old boy to the garrett to get an IRON
ing board, and be discovered the human
bones wrapped in a newspaper (Grand
Rapids Herald) dated 1893 The paper
Al Ill
cordng to the older inhabitants Of
Breedsville, A. r. Baker lived with his
father, George Baker there some IL or
l5 years ago, but moved away.
Only portion of human skeleton
was q the paper, part of the head and
trunk being missing
Professor John Travis, a school teach
er now living at 595 West Alexandrine
avenue, Detroit, was seen at his home
Friday night, declared that he had lived
in the MacNiven house in Beeedsville
for n year and half. previous to coming
to Detroit.
1.-The bones might have been there
while | occupied the house, as l never
explored the garret very thoroughly"
be said. 81 have been in the garret, tc
break the ice in the water tank up there
and to get screens which were stored
there. MacNiven had some things stored
in the attic while lived in the house.. "
Mr.. Travis said that he did not re-
member ever having heard OF A. E.
Baker and could offer no clue to the
mystery.
Deputy Sheriff Andrew Lang and
Prosecutor Burhans we're in Breedsville
the first OF the week, trying to clear the
mystery surrounding the finding OF the
bones.

BOY Of SIXTEEN
STEALS BICYCLES
Sells Wheels in Lawrence.
Harry Marshall of West
Oshtemo Breaks Parole.
Will Go Back to Lansin 6

Friday morning Tom Cullinane, who
is a machinist at the X l.. S. & G.
shops, rode his bicycle to work, and
when he went after it to go home it was
gone, as we'll as boy who had been
banging around the shops. Parties
saw the boy riding the bicycle and sus-
picon was at once cast upon him.
Harry Marshall, who lives with bis
parents in West Oshtemo, was the lad. .
The sheriff's force set out at once to 10
cate Harry and lie vas arrested and
brough. back to Jail Monday night by
Deputy Sheriff Cone. He admitted
that he took the wheel aud sold it to
parties living in Lawrence The officers
say that Harry is "bad rooster" and
an old offenders that he has been guilty
Of as grave a crime as horse stealing.
He is out on parole from the state in-
stitution at lansing sent there from
Kalamazoo county. The omcers here
think that several other thieving crimes
can be traced to the lad.
Monday Deputy Sheriff Cone located
two wheels that the lad had stolen aud
sold in Lawrence, one to Frank Harden
book and one to Mrs. Fred Fisher
Harry is only l6 years old and with
out doubt the state of Michigan will
make good "parent" to govern him un-
til he becomes OF age.

Instituted Lodge there.
DR.. Emery was the live

port grand time.

Last night a new lodge of Oddfellows
were Instituted at Augusta Mich, and
at | 80 p. N. about ten auto loads of Odd
Fellows from here started across the
country to the Mecca of the Odd Fell
low festivities.
The new lodge was instituted at three
o'clock in the afternoon and the officers
elected. At six o'clock bounteous
banquet was served the visitors, which
concluded with sort OF round-the. table
chat. Prof Bolster acted as toastmaster
and short spicy speeches were made by
several of the visitors as their names
we're called. The following towns and
cities were represented, Lansing, Grand
Rapids, Reading, Paw Paw, Galesburg,
and Kalamazoo.
The evendg session was one long to
be remembered. After the preliminary
work mad gone through, the lodge was
turned over to the Paw Paw lodge No.

first second, and third. The degrees
were put on in very creditable manner

floor, the teams using stage built in
their hall, and scenery made especially
for the degrees, taking everything IN
consideration the four teams did credit
co themselves and to Paw Paw No. 49,
At this meeting there were four Past
Grand Masters, VIZ: Fred A. Rogers, the
present Grand Secretary, H. l.. Mcneil
Past Grand Representative, Grand Mas
ter, M. r. Slater and F. Ii DALEY of
Kalamazoo.
The new lodge started with nearly 81
members, due mostly to ohe efforts OF
DR.. William Forbes Emery, former
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church
of this city, who was an ardent worker
for Odd Fellowship and the cause OF
Christianity in this com nunity.
This wss the Dr's reception to the
boys of No. Is, and he and his assistants
proved themselves royal entertainers.
At an early hour in the morning the
caravan headed homeward, vowing that
the Augusta Boys and DR.. Emery show
ed them the time of their lives, and that
Augusta as a little village, could put on
a few city airs, as far as showing one a
good time.

In a series Of conferences between President
Wilson and Judge Chambers. OF the United
States Board Of Mediation and Cancellation.
The question also was discussed at length
at the Cabinet meeting.
Chambers held his first conference at the
White House with the President at
o'clock. Upon entering the conference he
expected the strike TO be averted. After
talking with the President for a half hour
he prepared a statement authorized b. the
President Before he could issue lt. how
ever. the President called him on the phone.
requesting another conference
At the conclusion OF the second one il
was believed a statement outlining the Ad
ministration's position would be made.
Railway brotherhoods won an important
point before Congress today when the SEN
ate Interstate Commerce Committee tabled
resolution looking toward mediation OF
the controversy by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The railroads and the National chamber
Of Commerce had requested an investiga-
ton OF the whole wage subject The
brotherhoods opposed this on the ground
that the strike was purely a matter between
themselves and the road officials
Not only did the committee take the
workerp' side OF this question. but II re-
fused request by the Chamber OF Com
mercs for hearings on the subject
vote was not taken. but an informal
OF the committee showed the
members apparently unanimous that Con.
gress has not power to enforce arbitration
unless both roads and men desire H. II
was further agreed that the committee
at present has no inclination to mix IN the
struggle.
The resolution tabled was one introduced
