occasions. The first time he called
Capt. Stephen K HeaIey to his Of

club was allowed to reopen that
night. Field prOfessed great faith in
De Priest and said he had given De

Today's session of the hearing on
warrants for Chief Healey proved a
disastrous affair to Healey and the
Thompson Lundin administration.
Among the high spots touched were:
Chief Healey branded as maker Of
false statements through the intro

ers that they had never talked to the
chief after he had written to Mayor
Thompson and asked for the restOT-
alton of their licenses, saying that he
had talked to them and they had
promised to behave in the future"

Lundin precinct committeeman be-
fore his license was restored.

CHURCH RELICS


Howard, June 19.-While work
men were e~xcavating for a new
church building in Belleview town
ship, near Howard and while tearing
down the foundation walls of the old
church which will be replaced by a
new one, they made an interesting
discovery. In a space between the
rock forming the foundation they
found a sealed bottle. In the bottle
were papers in the Norwegian lam
guage and also clippings from news
papers, which were placed In the bot
tie when the old church was erected
about thirty years ago. The box, in
which the bottle was found, also con-
tanned a large number of small coins,
these representing nearly every ma
ton on the globe. The collection is
a rare and valuable one and will be
placed in the cornerstone of the new
church building.
