Lambert Given s271 Verdict.

Attorney F. B. Lambert, who brot
suit in district court for $4,000, grow
ing out of the purchase of Mitchell
car some years ago, was awarded $271
damages, or just half the amount of
the money he has expended for re-
pairs for the machine since he has
owned it. It appears that he bought
the car for S1400, giving farm and
note to that value. He wasn't very
successful in running the car, and
spent almost as much money fixing it
as a new car would have cost. He
still has the car but says he has never
been able to run it for longer dis
lance that fifteen miles without a
break down.
The case was not without it humor-
GUS features, the cross examination
being better than many of the best
vaudeville stunts pulled off in this
city.

Arrested for Murder

An article published in daily news
paper this week indicated that j. F.
Brennan, well known here as one of
the proprietors of the Kelly-Brennan
Dramatic Company, which has appear
ed here for number of years under
canvas. was arrested in Flint for COM
plicity in the murder of young girl at
Alma, the crime taking place several
months ago, the body of the girl being
found in some bushes, Brennan. it ap-
pears, is not the principal in the crime,
as the girl is said to have been choked
to death by farmer named Eichorn,
because she persisted in screaming
after she had been lured to a house of
i'll fame. From what we have read Of
the matter we are lead to believe that
it is not John Brennan, one of the pro-
prietors of the show above referred to-,
who is implicated in the crime, but his
brother, Joseph, who, possibly, is not
known here at all.

Subscription Standings

The Messenger has revised its sub
scription list during the past week and
the date opposite the name of each
subscriber is supposed to correctly re-
present the time to which the SUBJ
scription Is paid. We ask all our SUBJ
scribers to examine these dates and IL
incorrect to notify us at once Please
give this matter prompt attention SO
that any inaccuracies may be rectified
before they run too long. Also, If the
date on your paper indicates that you
are in arrears, we ask you, not only as
a favor but as matter of justice, to
come in and settle the same without
delay. We are furnishing The Mes
senger at cheaper rate than the cir
cumstances warrant and unless we can
have our pay promptly from every sub
scriber we shall have to raise the rate.
The response to this notice between
now and the first of January will de-
termine whether or not we can continue
to furnish the paper at the old rate.
