ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

18s5-Steve O'Donne11 defeated Jake Ki1rain in 21 rounds at Coney Island. Jake and Steve had fought a draw 6n Boston a few weeks before. but in the second meeting the veteran Kilrain was clearly outc1assed. Kilrain, who had been declared champion of the world after his battle with lem Smith the English champion, but was after wards defeated by John L. Su1lfva n, was rapidly slipping back at the time
 he fought O'DonneII. Only twice after that did he enter the ring, fight ing a draw with Abe, UTlman in Bal tfmore, and losing to Frank S1avin in the same city. He then retired from the gamerfn which he had won fame and a fair measure of fortune. Steve OsDonneII was an Australian, and a pretty good sort of fighter, but he met his Waterloo when he was pitted against Kid Mccoy. In his first meet ing with the Hoosier they fought a fu- rious draw, but in a second engage ment the Kid, although outweighed by 20 pounds, played with the Austra- 5tan like cat plays with a mouse. and sr kae 9th round knocked him cold. That inglorious defeat practically end- ed the fighting career of the Australian

Auto Smashup

Earl West and Howard Moody figured
in an exciting auto accident. last Sum-
day, at about 200 o'clock, when a fine.
new Maxwell car in which they were
driving, exploded tire, hoped from
one side of the road to the other sever
times, then jumped across a ditch,
shaved off a mail box post and brought
up against tree. The accident took
place mile and half west of town,
near the Eggleston farm. and the
machine was travelling at a speed
around thirty miles an hour when it
occurred. Earl was driving and the
whole thing happened so quickly that
he scarce had time to think before it
was all over and he was surprised to
find that neither himself nor his COM
panion had sustained any injuries of
consequence, few small brusises being
the limit. The car was badly damaged,
one wheel being demolished, the front
axle bent and the tenders and hood
damaged. 1t is estimated that it will
cost about $4,000 to repair the car.
That both boys were not badly injured
or killed was piece of rare good luck.

MARSHAL CAPTURES
CARGO OF BOOZE
AUTO PARTY WERE MAKING A
WOBBLY COURSE
Marshal Beat Captured an Auto Load of
Beer, Whisky and Alcohol After
A Lively Mixup

The magnitude of the illicit traffic in
liquors, carried on between this county
and Saginaw county, was made mani
fest late Saturday afternoon when Mar
shall Chas. L. Best was called to point
on the highway about one mile north
OF town, to arrest party of auto
moblists who were so boozy that they
were unable to keep their car in the
road. There were five men in the auto
mobile and in directing their machine in
its wobbly course down the highway
they ran into lumber wagon driven by
Elgin McCrady, doing a small amount
of injury to the wagon, but luckily not
injuring Mr.. McCrady or the team.
Mr.. McCrady, rightly considering the
men were menace to other users of
the highway, telephoned for Marshal
Best, who by virtue of his commission
as deputy sheriff was authorized to
act, and the marshal. accompanied by
Fred Miller, in the latter machine. at
once went to the scene of the accident.
The marshal soon saw that the men
were very drunk and unable to manage
their car and started in to place them
under arrest. The men resisted as well
as they could in their drunken condition
and tore the shirt nearly from the
doughty marshal's back before he was
able, with the assistance of MIR, Miller,
to subdue them. AS it was two of the
more sober ones of the party took to
the woods and got away, but the other
three were landed in the village bastile.
Then the marshal went back for the
car, fine, new "Dort," ard which was
found to contain half barrel of beer
in keg, two grain sacks of beer in
bottles, several quarts of whiskey and
two quarts of aIcohol-enough of three
different kinds of bug juice to bring
about several murders or start good
size riot. After placing the men in jail
the marshal telephoned Sheriff Frank
Green who came and got them and
lodged them in the county jail.
The prisoners were arranged before
Justice Torrey, of Flint, Monday MORN
ing, the marshal appearing against
them, and were fined $50. 90 apiece.
They gave their names as Joe Bond,
Lewis Williams and Jake Waytovich
and one of them said that the liquid re-
freshment was for the christening of
his baby, but there was enough of it to
christen all the warships that Uncle
Sam will launch in two years.

C. B. BARKER INJURED
At MICH. STATE FAIR
7 STREET CAR STRUCK AUTO WHICH
,0 HE WAS DRIVING
Victim Sustained a Bad Fracture of the
Skull, But IL Now Improving Nicely
in a Detroit Hospital.

Last week Thursday evening Calvin
B. Barker. well known young farmer
of Thetford, while on visit to the
State Fair, was struck by a Detroit
city street car and received injuries
which for a number of hours it was
thought would result fatally. Mr..
Barker and his father left their home
the day previous to the accident, maxi
ing the trip in their automobile, and
staying all night with some friends en-
route. On Thursday they attended the
fair and started for home soon after
nightfall. Finding the seven mile road
closed for traffic they went out of the
gates onto the extension of Woodward
Avenue, the elder Mr.. Barker alighting
from the auto to see if he could facili-
tate their passage through the press of
other machines. At this instant city
car, unnoticed by either of the gentle
men, approached and crashed into the
rear of their machine. which was stand
ing on the TIA k. Just how it all hap
pened is unknown, as the machine was
thrown against the elder gentleman,
knocking him down and rendering him
partially unconscious, while Calvin
Barker, who was driving, was seriously
injured as above stated. The accident
presents some very strange features,
as the machine was not badly damaged.
not being overturned, and only one rear
wheel being broken. Mr.. Barker was
not thrown from his seat at the wheel,
the top was not broken, and yet in
some unaccountable manner he received
fracture of the skull above the left
ear which was about four inches in
diameter and of the most serious char
acter. The victim of the accident was
at once taken to the city receiving
hospital, where he received operative
treatment, while his father was taken
to the police station in order that the
extent of his injuries might be ascer-
tained and his story of the occurrence
learned. When these matters had re-
ceived attention he went to the hospital,
whence he sent word of the accident to
the relatives here, the condition of the
son then being of the most critical
nature. Since then, as matter of rare
good fortune, Mr.. Barker has made
splendid progress and the doctors are
confident that The will make complete
recovery, a result which they say is
very unusual in cases where the injury
is as extensive as it was in this. 1t is
not now known just when the patient
can be brought home.

School Catalog

There has just been issued from the
press of The Messenger the announce
ment of the Clio Public Schools for the
year 1867. The work is more COM
pete than usual and will be found of
interest to every patron of the schools
and especially those outside the district
who may be contemplating sending
their children to high school. The ad-
vantages of the school will be greatly
enhanced this year. as the building will
be new, modern and sanitary in every
detail. The heating plant will be am
pie to assure comfort during the coldest
weather and the air in the various
rooms will be automatically renewed
every seven minutes. There will also
be rather comprehensive library and
commodious and well equipped chemical
and physical laboratories. A night
school will be maintained for those who
find it impossible to attend the day
school, and desire instruction in civics,
mathematics. English history or agri-
culture. These courses will be made of
the most practical nature and adapted
to the needs of the mechanic and toiler.
Tuition for nonresident pupils has been
fixed at $4,000 for the high school;
$1,000 for the grammar department
and $l2. 90 for the primary department
These figures represent only fraction
of the cost of such instruction, but it is
felt that the attendance Of such pupils
is a source of strength to the schools
aud to the town. A copy of the cata-
logue will be mailed free to any ad-
dress upon application to w. d. White,
superintendent, or B. S. Jennings, sec'y
of the school board.

M'KE|CHAN LOSES
ELECTION CONTEST
CANvASSERS CONFIRM CHESNUTS
ELECTION BY FIFTY VOTES.
Only Thirteen of Twenty-Five Precincts
Re-Counted, and Only Box Properly
Sealed Was That of Vienna.

The recount of votes cast for the
office of sheriff on the republican ticket
at the recent primary election was con-
cluded late Monday afternoon, when
the County Board of Election Canvass
ers pronounced John S. Chestnut the
nominee by plurality of fifty votes.
Only twelve of the precincts in which
VIM. McKeighan asked recount were
reviewed by the board, as the ballot
boxes of the other thirteen precincts
had been so effectively sealed that 1t
was decided the board had no legal
right to recount them. OF those that
were recounted only one was found to
be properly sealed and that distinction
belongs to our own township of Vienna.
MIR. McKeighan was naturally very
much disappointed at the outcome of
the contest, as he was unable to secure
a recount in Fenton and other precincts
where his opponent received his heavi-
est vote. He was not 10th to announce
his dissatisfaction and threatened
court proceedings for further adjust
ment of the matter so soon as his at
torney is able to give the matter at
tention. In the precincts that were
recounted McKeighan made gain OF
but very few votes, and several of the
other candidates made similar gains.
1t is said, however, that in one of the
precincts, not recounted because of the
improper sealing of the ballot box,
McKeighan has secured affidavits from
electors denoting that considerably
larger number of them voted for him
than were recorded by the local election
board. In the recount Chestnut re-
ceived an additional vote from Vienna

Whatever may be thought of the out.
come of the recount, it cannot be de.
MED that Chestnut made clean cut
campaign, free from connection with
any factional contest, doing very much
of his campaigning for himself, and hi:
friends are predicting his election by 9
large majority.
