Defeated in Last Home Game Of
Season by Score of
ID TO %.

A large crowd witnessed the last
home game of the high school team Of
the season at the high school gym
last Friday night The visiting team
from Mt. Pleasant carried off the
honors. The local boys played list
less game, Mt. Pleasant taking the
lead from the start to finish. Emory

eral good shots were made by other
members of the quintet.
The Mt Pleasant team were in the
pink of condition. They out-classed
the local team at every point and kept
the ball in their possession throughout

good for next season. All will have
a years more growth and weight

NEW SPEED RECORD

Bert Taft who drives an easily
recognizable Ford Coupe smashed all
previous speed records on Thursday
March 8, 1916 for ears of this class.
Leaving Alma at a. m. he drove to
Saginaw i'm one hour and five minutes,
This drive was made without the in
tention Of establishing a record. After
viewing the various 1916 models on
display at the many automobile
agencies in the city the return trip
was made in the record time of Az
minutes over roads which were far
from first-class. Leaving Saginaw,
Benjamin Franklin hotel, at HOO a.
m. Mr. Taft piloted the car past the
Alma city clock at exactly 11:43. The
return trip was made without incident
except for the necessity of changing a
tire at Merrill. This occasioned de-
lay of 219 minutes. Had it not been
for this unfortunate mishap il is
thought that Taft would have hung
up a record of which any professional
might well be proud. Mr.. Taft, how
ever, very modestly wishes to lay
claim to the amateur championship
only and like every true sportsman is
at all times ready TO defend his well
earned title against all local chauf-
feurs. Mr.. Taft also carried pass
enger who while he could not be
styled an automobile mechanician,
nevertheless paid the driver of the car
compliment by showing him a
worthy confidence in his ability.

CRACK SAFE At

Also Rifle Stamp Drawer at
Office of Home Lumber K
Fuel Company.

Some expert safe blowers made a
raid on several business places in this
city last Monday night and made a
clean getaway.
The management of the Alma Eie-
vator Company, stepped into their Of
flee on Tuesday morning TO find the
safe door standing open, having been
cleyerly blasted open by the use of
nitro-glycerine.
No clue was left by the intruders
as to how they made their entrance,
but the supposition is that a skeleton
key was used to pry the stout Yale
lock of the office door. AS no tracks
were found in the snow which fell
about midnight il is supposed the
Job was done some time between
IL and ~ o'clock. A freight is due
about midnight and an explosion while
this train was going through would
hardly be heard for any great dis
tance.
The nitro was first soaked around
the edges of the safe door and the
force of the explosion shattered the
LOCK DOllS AduchiE AiN R'oi ~ '"A'-r
open. 1t was a clever piece OF work
and there IS not doubt that the per
former was an expert at the game.
Nothing Wa touched but the money
drawer and as the firm had banked
heavily the day before only about $50
was secured by the robbers.
The Home Lumber q Fuel company
were also touched by the same parties.
An entrance was forced into this
companys office through a window.
The safe was not touched here, but
a few dollars were taken from a small
stamp and change box. The lock on
the Pollasky Hide house also was
tampeSed with, but nothing disturbed.
Sheriff Bradford and Deputy

sured that with these men on the job
