Leg Set Five Times

Our readers may remember that in
the wreck which took place on the in
terurban. south of Mt Morris, last
February. one of those whose injuries
were most serious was Chas. Pratt. of
Pine Run. The latter was in Clio, one
day last week, and told of his exper-
fences at the time of the wreck and
since. And, indeed. he is not yet quite
sure that his experiences in that con-
nection have closed, as he is still an in
mate of the hospital, as he has been
during the entire period since the acci-.
dent. He says that he was standing in
the front vestibule of the car when the
collision took place and could see that
something serious was going to happen,
but was so wedged in by the crowd
about him that he was unable to move
even had he been so disposed. When
the crash came he was pulled out of
the debris with both legs fractured be-
low the knees, the bones being splin-
tered and pushed through the flesh in
both instances. His hands and face
were also badly cut by glass. He was
taken to the hospital where the frac,.
lures were reduced and in the case of
the right leg the bones soon made
satisfactory union. But the left limb.
where the bones were more splintered,
has caused lots of trouble for both the
patient and the doctors. 1t has been
set five times, the last time being about
ten weeks ago when the flesh of the
leg was cut open. the bones drilled aiiita. IL
wired together. This operation gives
evidence of having been successful and
while Mr., Pratt has not yet been able
" use his limb; and acts .ets about on
crutches, there is evidence that the
bones are uniting and that in course of
time ne will again have two good legs.
In all of the operations except the first
and last Mr.. Pratt did not take any
anesthetic. All of his hospital and
medical expenses have been and are be-
ing borne by the railroad company.

Gets Fine Position

Walter c, Knickerbocker, who grad
uated from the engineering department
of NJ. A. c. with this years class has
been engaged as an instructor in engin-
eering in the Kansas State Agricultur-
al College, at Manhattan, and will take
up the duties of the position about
Sept. lst. The position is very desir-
able as it carries salary to begin with
of 81, 900 per year and offers opportun-
ity for steady advancement. The fact
that this position was offered to Walter
is very complimentary to him, as such
places are offered only to graduates
whose work in college has been of
especial merit, thus giving them the
highest recommendations on the part
of the faculty.

Burglar Makes Haul

Some time Tuesday night the home
of Jud Gray, who lives three miles
north and one-half mile east of Clio,
was entered by burglar and about
forty-fve dollars was taken from Mr..
Gray's pants pocket. On account of
the hot weather the doors of the house
had been left open and the screens
were not hooked, so the marauder had
no:trouble in getting in. Mr.. Gray did
not discover his loss until the following
morning, when wondering search
failed to reveal his pantaloons which
were later found in the yard where the
thief had dropped them after rifling the
pockets Included in the sum above
stated was check for $20.11, which
Mr.. Gray had cashed the day before
for Louis Hubinger, of Frankenmuth.
AS Mr.. Gray is in very modest circum-
stances, the loss falls quite heavily up
on him and there seems little hope that
the burglar will be apprehended as he
left positively no clue of any kind.

You have right to know whom you
are nominating to public Office, and

the fact that the value of property
passing through the probate court each
year is of much greater value than the
circuit court, and without a doubt all
property in the county on an average
every twenty-five years comes before
the probate court for adjudication and
determination of the ownership, and
the status of the same, and, as has
been said by one of the members of our
supreme court, "As great care should
be exercised in the selection of candi-
dates for judge of the probate court as
the circuit court, and as high legal at
tainments and experience as required
in the circuit court.

CREAMERY COMPANY
HAS BIG PAY ROLL
S2l, 244 66 REPRESENTS LOCAL Ex-
PENDITURES FOR JUNE
Figures Give a very Striking Idea of
the Value of Big Industry
to This Section

1t will need no prompting on the part
of this paper to impress upon the
minds of the people of this village and
vicinity the economic value of the local
plant of the Detroit Creamery Co., and
yet the figures of that business for the
month of June were so surprising to US
that we have thought they would be
equally interesting to our readers.
The first item of expenditure was,
of course. that for milk for which the
producers of this section received the
large sum of SIG, 564.78 Next came the
haulers who received So, 4l6.00 for their
services. then the employees of the plant
itself, who drew 81, 200. 90 in pay checks,
and lastly 81, ,O5S, Sa was paid out to var
ious business firms in the village for
supplies of different kinds. When to
the figures before given, totaling
$21. .244. Sc, is added the cost of fuel,
freight and operating supplies of various
kinds. it will be seen that the total ex-
pendtures of the company must reach
annually to sum close to half a million
dollars.
The value of such an industry to a
town like Clio is immense, so that the
appreciation of the concern, which. as
we have said. we are sure is general, is
built upon the most substantial found
alton.

able satisfaction. A few persons have
questioned the fitness of person not
an attorney to handle the work in the
probate court. Regarding this query
it would be we'll to learn the fact that
less than half of the probate judges are
attorneys and large number who are
not attorneys are regarded as the most
competent in Michigan. Mr.. Bowles is
