ARTHUR STEVENS
KILLED BY AUTO
CAR SKIDDED INTO DITCH AND
OVERTURNED NEAR PINE RUN
Victim Was a Son of Mr.. and Mrs
Andrew Stevens and Sustained a
Fractured Skull

Arthur Stevens, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Stevens, of this place, was
the victim of an automobile accident
last Saturday evening which resulted
in his death Sunday evening at 80.
The circumstances connected with the
tragedy are substantially as follows:
Mr. Stevens and Dana Kitelinger left
Clio shortly before eight o'clock in
the formers auto intending to attend
a meeting of the Odd Fellows at Otis
Vile 1t is said that the steering gear
of the machine was not in perfect
order when they left, but in any event
something went wrong with it when
they had reached point about forty
rods east of Pine Run and it skidded
into the ditch and overturned, pin
ming Mr.. Stevens underneath and
throwing Mr.. Kitelinger clear from
the car. Mr.. Stevens though badly
hurt was conscious at this time and
called for help which his companion,
who had sustained badly bruised
shoulder, procured within very few
moments. The car was lifted from
Mr.. Stevens and he was brought TO
his home here, where it was at first
thought he might recover, but as time
passed his condition became worse
and death came within a few hours,
the cause being a fracture of the base
of the skull Mr.. Stevens was born
June IS, 1880, and his death occurring
June II, 1917, he lacked but single
day of being 81 years of age. He was
an industrious and honorable young
man who had made many friends dur
ing his residence in Clio and his un-
timely death has occasioned feeling
of deepest sympathy throughout the
community for the loved ones who
are bereft. The surviving members
of Mr.. Stevens family are his father
and mother. one brother, B. Stevens,
of Montrose, and one sister, Mrs. Ella
Madison, of Flint. Funeral services
were held from the NJ. P. Church,
Wednesday afternoon. Rev. c. w.
Greene officiating. Vienna Lodge,
|. o. o. F., of which deceased was a
member, attended the funeral in a
body and performed their ritualistic
ceremonies at the grave. Interment
was in Woodlawn.

ION THE VERANDA" WAS AN UN-
QUALIFIED SUCCESS
Mrs. Lesla Bailey Miller and Assisting
Talent Won Warmest Praises of a
Large Audience

Chesaning young people, under the
direction of Mrs. Lesla Bailey Miller
scored distinct success last Friday
evening in their production at the
Auditorium of "On the Veranda." All
of the vocal numbers were excellent,
the work of Mrs. Miller, Miss
Stevens, Miss Greenfelder and Mrs.
Kraft being especially charming. The
chorus also sang in splendid harmony
and the dances by the company and
by the Misses Breen, Martin and
Stevens were artistic and captivating.
Among the gentlemen Earl Mate sang
the title role in Riff Raft Rafferty,,
and the ladies and gents who partici-
pated in the accompanying dance,
found large favor with the audience
as was evident in the hearty applause
The duet by Miss Van de Walker and
Mr.. kratz was greatly enjoyed, as
both are charming vocalists, Mr.
Kratz' magnificent voice being espe-
cialy admired. The ladies wore very
handsome costumes and the whole Ell.
tertainment was much better than one
often witnesses among the profes
sionals. We are very glad our Ches
aning friends came and glad to know
they more than realized all the pre-
dictions we made for them.
