Towner Diss hargsd

On motion of Prosecuting Attorney
Pulver, Frank M. Towner, owner OF
elevators at Perry and Morrice, who
has been under arrest for several
weeks on a charge of negotiating a
worthless bill Of lading for value, was
discharged by Justice Friegel We'd
nesday noon, when his examination
was taken up again. Lack of evidence
on which to convict, was the reason
given by the prosecutor. There was
no representative of the Grand Trunk
in court at the time.
The proceedings took only min
ute or two. The prosecutor, simply
stated that he did not believe the evil
dence thus far produced, warranted
binding the defendant over to the
circuit court, and Justice Friegel de-
clared that he agreed with him and
told Towner he was discharged.
1t was charged that Towner negoti-
ated bill of lading for carload of
wheat at the Perry bank for $1,000
when he did not have the grain in his
possession. However, at the exami-
nation about three weeks ago, it was
brought out by the prosecution s own
witnesses that Towner did have the
wheat and that he had consigned it
to Detroit dealer, on which the
bank drew a draft after turning over
the money to Towner, but that it
vas held up by freight embargo
and did not leave Perry, until sever
al weeks later, when it was consigned
to Saginaw firm, under new bill
of lading.
The complaint against Towner was
signed by Elton Beebe, agent at Perry
for the Grand Trunk railroad. The
bank will look to the railroad for the
81 300 which it advanced to T,wner.
and according to Prosecutor Pulver,
the railroads method of recourse is
through the civil courts. There is no
evidence of criminal intent on Town
er's part, the prosecution asserted.
The railroad now has a civil suit
pending against Towner.

The Clrc 1t Judge : hip.

In speaking of the race for circuit
judge of the Shiawassee-Livingston
district, the Argus has the following
to say:
The race for the nomination for cir
cult judge in the Shiawassee-Lving-
ston circuit is the chief subject for
discussion in political circles, and in
tcrest is increasing as the day, March
z, for the decision approaches. One
week from tonight the next judge of
the circuit will probably be known.
Will it be Judge Joseph Collins, or
will Selden S. Miner be chosen for a
third term to continue the duties of
his Office?
Although William p. Van Wrinkle,
a prominent attorney of Howell, will
be the democratic candidate, it is con-
ceded even by the democrats that the
Republican nomination means the cleo
ton. The race between the two re-
publican candidates is clean cut. With
the exception of Owosso where two
local contests are to be decided, the
judgship will be the only one of in
terest to the voters.
Politicians admit that the result de-
ponds largely on the vote in Living
ston county. Judge Miner, it is
known, is expecting the vote in Liv-
ingston to continue him in Office. Mr..
Collins is unwilling to concede the
judge majority in the neighboring
county. The judges friends are MAX
ing no claims but doing some effective
work.
The voters are being showered with
personal letters. Judge Miner, because
of his service on the bench for IL
years, is said by some to have the adj.
vantage, while it is conceded that Mr..
Collins has the more effective organ
ization.
AS previously stated, the judgship
issue is the only one to be decided out
side Of Owosso, so one of the import
ant factors in the success of either
candidate will be in getting his sup
porters to the polls on primary day.
There was considerable speculation
here whether the entrance of William
P. Van Wrinkle, democrat, into the
race would affect the republican con-
test. Some at first believed that the
old political game of democrats voting
for republican in hopes of nominat-
ing the weaker Of the two candidates
might be played. However, word
comes from Livingston that this will
not be done. In fact it is considered
that either of the republicans would
have an easy time winning the cleo
ton, once nomipated. Mr.. Van
Wrinkle will poll a larger vote in his
home county, being an attorney of
known ability and popular.
One thing appears certain, that
whether Mr.. Miner is nominated or

REGISTRATION TO Be A GALA AFFAIR

Observation-Disclosures of the war
department are pleased because many
states of the union do not intend that
registration day for the new army
shall be merely "drudgery day." The
spirit of patriotism seems to have en-
tered into the arrangements for the
occasion which have been made by
many of the state officials.
1t is the desire that all the states
shall enter into the duty of registra-
ton with the same spirit already man.
ifested in many parts of the country.
In one state, for instance, the Occa-
sion in large part is to take on the ma
ture of a patriotic demonstration, a
sort of national fete day. In many
parts of this state there will be bar
becues and like affairs to draw the
people, so that those upon whom the
duty of registration devolves will know
that they have the support of their
fellows of all occupations and of all
ages.

MINE SWEEPERS FISH DEATH
FROM THE BOTTOM Of SEA

his men and that upon his ability de-
pended all our lives.
His signal for greater speed had
hardly been sent to the opposite trawl-
er when a shout from the deck called
out all hands. Two hundred yards off
there shot to the surface of the water
a vile black nightmare monster, It's
black horns protruding menacingly.
Heavy rifles were passed out to the
marksmen. and the hardest part of the
sweeping game commenced. After a
mine has been swept to the surface it
must be destroyed or sunk.
Rifle Fire Unsuccessful.
The sharp barking of the guns
cracked out through the mist. A little
spray showing the bullets course close
to the mine and series of dull clangs
gave evidence of direct hits. Every
man hoped one of the steel bullets
would strike horn and cause an ex-
plosion, which would finally remove
the menace, but luck went against the
gunners. They succeeded only in
piercing the monsters heavy armor
and allowing the water to enter. After
perhaps n score of steel bullets had
penetrated the mine it filled and sank
beneath the surface, where it remained
for few minutes and then sank to
its last resting place on the bottom.
The trawlers proceeded on their
course for 20 or 80 minutes, when an
other tautening of the cable indicated
the presence of mine. We were now
in field where the Germans had sown
death with an eXtravagant hand. We
knew we rode continually hand In hand
with death. The members of the crew
lined the rails with drawn faces, for
they knew by experience that only a
few seconds remained for escape In
case we struck. The average light
vessel sinks within one minute after
being mined.
Again there leaped to the surface a
horned destroyer, and again the marks
mems guns spat fire and it sank from
view half mile astern. Two COM
paniOn trawlers whistled warning
that they had made a catch, and dimly
through the mist could be seen another
black, horned object between them.
Giant Sea Geyser.
Only few shots had been fired
when the air beat upon our ears and
the decks quivered. Then there was
a mighty blast that almost stunned
and blinded us. Between the following
trawlers a great column of water rose
steadily skyward, drawing the ships
toward it. 1t seemed as if some I'M
seen hand had showed a great section
of the North sea and kept it suspend
ed hundreds of feet in the air for the
space of perhaps 30 seconds.
The spectacle defies description. Its
terribleness holds one breathless, until
the giant column of water re-
cedes slowly, apparently showing itself

back into its element and leaving only
wide space of worried waters.
These sights alone should be enough
to throw fear of mines and their aw-
fulness into the men who daily hunt
them, yet at least half those in the cap
tain's trawler had been engaged In this
work for 20 months with little respite,
sailing 10 or II hours every day over
water that they knew contained sud-
den and frightful end.
In the course of the next few
hours our fleet swept up and de-
strOyed other mines with the same
hardy, unrelenting courage, until their
allotted course was safe for the pass
age of ships, whose comings and go
ings must not for one hour be delayed
if England Is to fight successfully
against an enemy who knows no rules
of war. whose fiendish ingenuity knows
no limits.
Captains Word Home.
The declining sun saw our little fleet
back in harbor. The captain, having
finished writing a detailed report OF
the operations, glanced lovingly at his
wife's picture on the wall of his little
cabin and took up his pen to let her
know he had come safely through an
other day of peril.
The following morning the corre-
spondent had an opportunity to OBJ
serve from the air just what an infinite
sinai portion of the North sea he had
sailed over on the previous day. In a
powerful seaplane, the body of which
had been constructed in America,
manned by pilot and observer, we
rose from the harbOr and circled high
above the sea. We gazed upon fleet
of tiny craft, scores of them, proceed
ing in pairs.
Looking down upon the entire area
patrolled by vessels from one harbor
gave one the impression that England
was tackling well-nigh impossible
task to keep her whole gigantic coast
line cleared of German implements Of
destruction, yet the organization does
its work thoroughly.
After a few minutes flying one Of
our two motors broke down and we
began a series Of gyrations which al
most cost us our lives
Saved at Eleventh Hour.
We shot downward toward some
buildings. The pilot regained control
just in the nick of time and cleared
high factory chimney. We circled
again, then side slipped and skinned
over a row of two-stOry houses. Then
by supreme effort of both pilot and
observer they swerved the machine to-
ward the harbor. The machine dipped
toward a pier, slashed off flagstaff
and landed with heavy jolt on the
water.
Such incidents are not uncommon
for flying men. BY iron nerve and per-
feet composure they save themselves
daily from sudden death.
Like every other branch of the naval
service, they hope that Americas entry
into the war will be wholehearted,
that her ships of every description,
especially light vessels capable Of
sweeping mines, her airplanes and her
skilled men will be thrown into the
fight against this greatest Of Teuton
menaces.
