The Sorrowful Barber
Though there is not a bout in sight
for this vicinity the managers insist
upon breaking into the calm which
should fill the soul of boxing writer
when there are cobwebs on the ropes
Of the roped arena.
Some of them do it Indignantly and
some sorrowfully. John the Barber is
one of the sorrowful type. The tele-
phone bell rang a moment ago and q
voice choked with sobs moaned
Hello"
"This is John-John the Barber"
sobbed the voice. ooh, it is terrible.
I've got Jimmie O'Hagan, the middle
weight, and nobody will fight him. It's
awful. Everybody's got it in for me.
Mike Gibbons said he'd fight him, and
now he and AL Mccoy want $4,000
to fight him. It's just breaking my
heart. Won't you say that somebody
ought to fight O'Hagan for poor John
the Barber, that never harmed no
body?"
IL Made Him Laugh
After John the Barber had swum
out of the telephone booth, which had
filled with briny tears, Harold Pollok
took the wire.
81 see that Scotty Monteith is raving
again." began Pollok.
81 guess So" replied the weary box
ing writer.
"Ha! Hal" continued Pollok. ale
makes me laugh. He's ridiculous. Does
he think anybody would fall for that
stuff of his about Welsh putting over
the wire trick on Dundee? | ask you
as an intelligent American citizen what
he expects to gain by spreading such
a canard? Now, you know that we
would never resort to anything like
that. Monteith makes me laugh. Ha!
Hal He's a joke. They're all jokes"
The tired boxing writer dropped the
phone and dashed out into the night.
At late hour he was seen gibbering
to himself along Park Row. 1t was
said that he had taken to drink.

CITY STARTLED BY
THE RASH ACT OF
MERTON F. NOWL|N
BODY FOUND DANGLING AL
MOST LIFELESS FOLLOW
ING ROBBERY

Our city was startled Thursday af-
ternoon of last week by the report
that Merton +. Nowlin, the agent and
salesman for the Wear-U U-Well Shoe
Company had committed suicide by
hanging himself in the woodshed al
his home situated on the north side of
the city.
This announcement, following SC
quickly after the reported robbery Of
a large quantity of shoes from his
store seemed to accentuate the news
of the tragedy.
Shortly after one o'clock Mrs. Now
lin returned TO the store which had
been closed during the noon hour for
dinner and found that during her abb
sence a large number Of shoe boxes
had been taken from the shelves, the
shoes removed and the boxes
thrown on the floor Other por-
tions of the stock was also disarrang-
ed and in disorder. Mrs. Nowlin i'm
mediately notified her husband, who
was at work in the silk mill and after
a hurried examination they called in
Marshal Meginley and Deputy Sheriff
Charles Murray TO investigate, stat.
ing that several hundred dollars worth
of stock had been taken. The officers
made a thorough search and investi.
gated very closely but could not locate
a clue leading TO the discovery of the
robbers, who must have worked very
quietly Arnold Schmidt who oc-

BOARD OF COMMERCE
LUNCHEON WAS A /,
FEATURE TUESDAY
BODY WILL WORK FOR EXTEN-
TION OF GRAND TRUNK LINE
THROUGH BELDING

Seventy-five men, members of the
Belding Board of Commerce, attended
a noon luncheon of the board held in
Millard hall Tuesday. The occasion
was both pleasant and profitable. Fol-
lowing the dinner President Hall took
charge and explained the purposes of
the meeting and outlined several
things that might be considered by
the board.
Among other things an affirmative
vote was taken by the members au-
thorizing the secretary to present to
council as the wish of the board that
that body include in its annual budget
this spring the sum of five hundred
dollars to be used to help defray the
expenses OF running the city hospital.
Ihe board also voted TO register a
protest to the Pere Marquette Rail-
road company against that company
expending any money for the repair
ing of the present depot building, but
to save such money as 1t might eX-
pect to spend for permanent improve
ments. Ihe languarge of the protest
as sent in by the board is as follows:
"Be it resolved, That the Belding
Board of Commerce, with an attend
ance of seventy-four members, wishes
to register protest TO the Pere Mar
quette Railroad company against any
expenditure of money by said railroad
for the patching up or repairing of
the depot of said railroad located IN
the City Of Belding, ii being the sense
of this meeting that said railroad
should conserve its funds which may
be expended for a depot in said city
until said railroad shall find itself in a
position to make proper, permanent
and adequate depot provisions for the
travelling public"
In view of the urgent need of the
local citizens and shippers for better
passenger and shipping facilities 1t
became the sense of the meeting and
a measure was put through whereby
the officers of the local board of COM
merce will Immediately and persist
antly confer with the similar boards
of Greenville, Saranac and Lowell In
an effort TO obtain an extension of the
Grand Trunk Railroad company's line
from Saranac or Lowell, through
Belding to Greenville. The resolution
in this regard as passed by the local
board is as follows:
"Be it resolved, That the officers of
the Belding Board of Commerce be
and hereby are authorized to use their
best efforts for the purpose of obtain
ing a Grand Trunk extension from
Greenville through Belding to either
Saranac or Lowell, and that said of
ficials shall confer with the CONNER
cial organizations of Greenville, Sara
nae and Lowell in regard TO such an
extension and that said proposition
shall be taken up officially with the
( Grand Trunk system"
The meeting of Tuesday was live
ly one from start to finish. The diff
ferent propositions up for discussion
were enthusiastically handled. A SINH
lar meeting and luncheon may be held
in two weeks.

cupies the building adjoining on the
south and Mr.. Rummler, the one on
the north, did not see or hear any
thing unusual, although their places
of business were open all the time.
Mr.. Nowlin notified the Wear-U-
Well company in Cleveland at once,
locked up the store and he and Mrs.
Nowlin went home.
During the afternoon Mr.. Nowlin
appeared nervous and was in and out
of the house several times and did
some work in the yard. Mrs. Nowlin
and her mother were very much con-
cerned about him. Later in the after
noon they missed him and began a
search at once, going TO the woodshed,
they found him hanging from a rafter
and alarmed the neighbors. Mrs. Now
lin attempted to lift the body to pre-
vent strangulation and while she was
doing so, Fred Olger, who had hur-
ried to the shed, cut the rope. His
body was warm and although vigorous
efforts were made to revive him by
DR.. Harrison, who responded quickly
to the call and worked over him for a
long time, he did not regain conscious
ness and died about twelve o'clock.
Eugene Warner, w. II. Eckler and
other neighbors assisted in the work
of trying to resuscitate him but he
was too far gone. The throat muscles
were paralyzed. Mr.. Nowlin had
stood on box and adjusted the rope
tying it over rafter and apparently
jumped off, undoubtedly if he had been
discovered two minutes sooner his life
could have been saved.
Mr.. Nowlin was twenty-eight years
old and has lived here about six years.
He took charge of the earU-Well
stock about three years ago, which he
and his wife have looked after, Mr..
Nowlin having worked occasionally in
the silk mill. His health has not been
good and there has been considerable
sickness in the family, which may
have led to dependency and the de-
termination to commit the rash act.
Mr.. Nowlin leaves, besides his wife,
daughter, Frances, four years old.
His father, Fred Nowlin, and broth
er, Estel A. Nowlin of Rockford and
two sisters, Mrs. Arthur Benhart and
Miss Georgia Nowlin of Lansing.

ID. c. Crawford, county surveyor,

A very successful one-day farm
ers' institute was held in the Grange

The attendance was very large and
full of interest and instructive fea-
lures for the farmers.

ENGLISH PRINTS
ARE BEING SHOWN
BY |. SALzMAN
PRINTING PROCESS WAS LOST
WITH DEATH OF G.. BAXTER,
THE PRODUCER

As stated last week one of the front
windows of NJ. l.. Willoughby's jew
elry store has been filled with the old
English prints brought over from
England by Louis Salzman, the tailor.
The collection in the window, while
only a small part of Mr.. Salzman's
collection, is valued by him at sew
eral hundred dollars. Many of the
scenes are of places very near where
the Salzman family lived. Most of the
prints are nearly one hundred years
old. The value Of some of them lies
in the fact that they were made by
hand and the printing is of a kind
that was lost with the death Of the
printers.
G.. Baxter, a famous artist and
printer of his time, invented and pro-
duced an absolutely new art in oil
color printing. One of his famous
prints may be seen in Willoughby's
window in a small oval gold frame.
Only few of these pictures were pro-
duced and they are much sought for
in England. Some of the other prints
to be seen in the window were produc-
ed by La Blond a. Co. One of the
workers in this company was fore
man in Baxter's shop. He was never
able to secure the process by which
Baxter produced the famous pictures,
however.
The Salzmans came in possession
of the La Blond pictures through an
uncle of Mrs. Salzman's. He was
commercially interested in the La
Blond a. Co, institution and upon his
widows death the pictures were found
among her belongings.
The water color pictures were pro-
duced by w. Tatton Winter, who was a
personal friend of Mr.. Salzman, and
now one of the foremost water color
artists. Particularly attractive wat
er color effects may be noticed in
them.
It will be we'll worth anyone's time
to visit Willoughby's store and see the
collection Mr.. Salzman will change
the pictures from time to time so as
to allow the public to see them all.

CITY HOSPITAL
WILL CONTINUE
ON SOl|D BASIS
STEPS TAKEN TO INCORPORATE;
OUTLOOK FOR NEEDED MONEY
is ENCOURAGING

The Belding City Hospital will be
continued. This was decided at an ad-
journed meeting of the association
held in the city hall Tuesday evening.
1t will be placed on bigger and bet
ter foundation, too.
A decided impetus was given to the
meeting Tuesday evening when the
members present learned definitely
what had been accomplished toward
continuing the institution in the Board
Of Commerce meeting held at noon the
same day. Following the report of
the doctors, appointed at the first ad-
journed meeting of the hospital as
sociation held a week before to de-
wise plans for continuing the institu-
tion, it became the sense of the meet
ing that the city hospital should be
Incorporated A measure was passed
favoring the procedure. A motion was
carried appointing /. l.. Hubbell to
look after the work of Incorporating
and TO take the steps necessary to
proceed with the work.
Since the terms of several of the
members of the board of trustees and
also of the board of lady managers
had expired motion was made and
carried whereby the same people were
eleCJeu 10 iii LHeiT respective OllCtS
until such time as the hospital could
be incorporated and the management
taken over by the officers of the cor
poration. Mrs. A. b. Hull was elect
ed instead of Miss Clara Bracker, re-
signed.
Representatives of the association
are expected to appear before the
council next Friday evening and ask
for a donation from the city to assist
in defraying the expenses of the hos
pital until some provision can be made
in the annual budget next spring.
The present outlook for the hospital
is encouraging. An effort will be
made by those in charge to secure
substantial pledges from local citi-
zens and corporations for carrying on
the work and meeting the deficit that
arises in all hospitals that try to exist
without such support. Each of the
doctors Of the city will pay $25 to-
ward the cause.
