until the early eighties, when he re-
turned to Genesee county and settled in
Thetford township. Here he continued
to reside during the remainder of his
lifetime, and the fact that everyone
who knew him was his friend, is the
strongest testimonial that can be paid
to the many excellencies of his char
acter. Mr.. Crawford was married, Oct.
%, 1885. to Miss Aloha Crawford, who
together with three children. survive
him. The latter are Mrs. Edna M.
Baker, of Thetford, and Robert and

and five sisters, as follows: Chas. and
Reuben, of Genesee; George, of Thet-
ford; Mrs. Sarah Bellinger, of Thetford;
Mrs. Lottie Brownson, of Genesee;
Mrs. Nancy Daniels. of Jackson; Mrs.
Allie Hummer and Mrs. Adeline Bellin-
ger, of Flint. Funeral services were
held from the home on Thursday after
noon and were attended by a very
large number of friends who assembled
to pay their final tribute of respect to
the mortal remains of him whom they
had long known and loved as friend and
neighbor. The services were conducted
by Rev. c. w. Greene and the remains
were laid at rest in Thetford cemetery.

MERRICk> SAYS
SOLDIERS COULD GO AS WELL
As THE OTHERS.

Lieut.. H. S. Merrick of the first cav
airy was in the city on Tuesday and
again Thursday on leave OF absence
from Camp Dodge. While here he stated
that the troops of this state, who num-
Der about 1000, are just as we'll pre-
pared to go to the Mexican border as
most Of those who have already gone.
It Is the plan and purpose Of those IN
charge, however, to keep the militia
of this state at Camp Dodge until they
have become entirely familiar with
the duties Of soldier and are ready
to face the enemy at the first call
rather than send them to the border
only partly prepared for duty. When
they have become sufficiently familiar
with the rules and regulations Of army
life they will take their places along
with the other soldiers who are at
present UNFOLDING the honor OF their
country along the border.
Mr.. Merrick stated that many Of
the soldiers, who enlisted after the
troops were called out are at present

Some lack uniforms, while some are
without their full quota of equipment.

COURT RULES UPON
ABSENT VOTERS LAW

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 7.-Judge
c. G. Revelle of the supreme court
has delivered an opinion in the case
of Thomas 8. Straughan against
Charles W. Meyers involving the Of
nee of presiding Judge Of the county
court Of Ste. Genevieve county, IN
which the constitutionality of the
absentee" voters law is sustained.
The law had been declared uncon-
stitutional by the trial court. Judge
Revelle gives 1t strict construction,
and holds that the voter must comply
with all of the conditions imposed or
his vote will be illegal.
The decision distinguishes the re-
uuirements Of the general election
laws, holding that, under the general
laws. the same strictness of compli-
ance on the part of the voter is not
required. Under this act it Is held
that 1t is the duty of the voter to
make the afldavit prescribed, wheth-
or the election judges insist upon this
or not. 1t also holds that such voter
must see to it that the ballot which
the election judges give him has In.
dorsed on the back the names Of all
the election judges. It is held that
the failure of the voter in either OF
these two respects renders his ballot
invalid and that the same cannot be
counted.
