Citizens of Capac were horrified,
Wednesday, when the bodies of two
drowned men were taken from the res
ervoir whence the village draws it's
water supply. The bodies were those
of two Inlay City men who disappear
ed from their homes about three weeks
ago and were considerably decomposed.
The bad odor coming from the water
lead to the draining of the reservoir
and the gruesome discovery followed.
1t is suspected the men met with foul
play as the only means of entrance to
the reservoir was through trap door
in the top.

MILK MEN MEET FOR
GENERAL CONFERENCE
CREAMERY COMPANY AND PAT
RONS COMPARE VIEWS
General Manager Desert says that Milk
Must be Bought Right or Factory
Will Close

Central Manager Desert and General
Superintendent Cobane of the Detroit
Creamery Company, met the milk pro-
ducers of this section in meeting held
at Grange Hall Thursday afternoon,
and stated the terms on which the COM
pany would continue to buy milk during
the coming year, also stating that un-
less the company could buy the milk on
terms which would enable them to OPP
crate at reasonable profit they would
have no alternative but to close the
local condensary. The terms which
the company would be willing to make
were as follows: fiat rate of $l.70
cents, the season through, for milk de-
livered at the factory, or the prices
paid by the cqeese factories for milk on
what is known as 10. 10 basis and
taking the Wisconsin price as standard,
or a price based on the Elgin butter
market, plus 3 cents. Mr.. Desert
stated that the local factory had not
paid the company anything during the
present year, but that they had not ex-
pected that it would and were satisfied
if they if they could about break even
in establishing the business. He also
stated that it had been the intention of
the company to spend about SIS, 900 the
coming season in improving the factory
but that this matter would have to be
deferred until its relationship with the
farmers of this locality had been set
tied. Mr.. Desert said that the milk
produced in this section. as a general,
rule, was not up to the standard re-
quired for the Detroit retail market
and that it was necessary to buy it on
a manufacturing basis. Following the
talk by the creamery officials, the farm
ers held general discussson of the
matter but decided to defer action until
after the meeting of the Milk Produc-
ers Association of Eastern Michigan
which is being held in Detroit to-day.
This meeting is called for the purpose
of establishing price for milk in the
various localities that are represented
and will be attended by !. r. Acheson
for the local association. Mr.. Acheson
will make his report to his constituents
at meeting to be heidi in Grange Hall
next Wednesday afternoon at which
time it is expected definite action of
some kind will be taken. The Messen-
ger would sincerely regret seeing the
new condensary closed, being as it is a
source of pride and profit to the COM
munity, and hopes that spirit of con
Citation will prevail and that Il settle
ment fair to both sides will be arrived
at.

Obituary
BEEMAN

The people of Clio and vicinity have
been saddened in an unusual degree
during the past week through intelli-
gence of the death of Bradford NJ. Bee
man, who passed away at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. A. L. Kelsey, in
Saginaw, at 600 o'clock a. m. Sunday,
lee. "a, 1916, of heart trouble. Mr..
Beeman had suffered from the malady
which caused his death for nearly two
years, but had been confined to his bed
for period of but four weeks. He
was born May 10, l841, at Phelps, N.
where he grew to manhood, and on
the outbreak of the Civil War enlisted
in the Union army, serving his country
with that faithfulness which was ever
characteristic of him and spending six
weeks in Apdersonvlle military prison.
January II, 1871, he was united in mar
riage to Miss Mary Townsend. of
Friendship, N. Y, and about 1877 came
to Clio, where he remained an honored
citizen for nearly or quite forty years
Mr.. Beeman was an excellent citizen in
every respect: industrious. public spirit
ed and of inhexble integrity, and in
the religious life of the community he
had been for many years not only
leader but an honor to the cause he
professed. He was one of the founders
of the M. Z Church and years before
it's building was even contemplated he
began the gathering of stones on his
farm against the time when he foresaw
the people would want church of his
faith and when they would be
needed in it's construction. He was
generous contributor to the build
ing fund of the church as he con-
tinued to be to its maintenance and
support all of the remaining years
of his life. He was member of the
first official board of the church, posi-
tion he held without interruption, be-
! ing an honorary member of that body
at the time of his death. When the
| final summons came to Bradford M.
Beeman it found him ready and the
closing chapter was written of life
that measured up to the highest stand
ards of manhood. Mr.. Beeman is sur
vived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs.
A. E. Kelsey, two brothers: Newell
Beeman, of Salt Lake City, Utah, and
Zenas Beeman, of Brigham City, Utah,
ana by three sisters, Mrs. Henry Chap
in and Mrs. John Dave, of Fenton,
Mich, and Mrs. Sarah Beach, of
Phelps, n Y. Brief funeral services
were held at the home of Mrs. Kelsey
at II o'clock, Wednesday morning,
Rev. Frederick Spence officiating and
the body was brought to Clio on the
12:45 p NJ. passenger train and funeral
services were held in the M. E. Church,
being conducted by Rev. E. c. C. Ben
son. Interment was made in Woodlawn
cemetery.
