H. +. BAKER, WELL KNOWN
PROMOTER is ARRESTED
ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Henry F. Baker, the we'll known
southwestern Michigan promoter was
arrested by Sheriff Beattie last week
on charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The complaint was
made by one Ora Makys of Sister
Lakes in Keller township who alleges
in the complaint that through the
representations made by Baker rela-
tive to the construction of am electric
railway from Benton Harbor to Kala-
mazoo, he turned over to him, the
sum of $4,000. And that later upon
further representations made by
Baker in regard to prospective sale
of said railway property and right of
way, that he turned over the further
sum of $1,000. That this total sum
of $1,000 was obtained by Baker under
false pretenses. The examination be-
fore Judge Rowland was adjourned
until April 25th. Owing to the prom
inence of the respondent, the case
promises to be a sensational one.

BIG VERDICT FOR HARRY
SNOW IN SUIT FOR LIBEL

On the 18th, day of last June, the
Grand Rapids Daily News published
an article regarding Harry M. Snow,
formerly of Paw Paw and well known
here, which was alleged by Mr.. Snow
to be libelous. He therefore brought
suit against the News for damages.
Claude Hamilton, vice president of
the Michigan Trust Company was
also made defendant with the News
as it was claimed that he gave out
the substance of the alleged libelous
article to the News. The case was
tried in the Federal Courts at Grand
Rapids last week and the jury re-
turned verdict of $500 in favor of
Mr.. Snow. The case was hard fought
on both sides. The law firm of But
terfeld and Keeney represented Mr..
Hamilton, Morris, Mcpherson, Har-
rington and Waer, the Grand Rapids
News, and Hatch, McAllister and
Raymond looked after Mr.. Shows in
terests. The news of the outcome of
this case was received with much
satisfaction by Mr.. Shows numerous
Paw Paw friends, by whom he has al
ways been held in high esteem.

FOUND BONES FROM SOME
HUGE PREHISTORIC ANIMAL

David Kessler found part Of a jaw
bone containing several teeth which
undoubtedly came from some prehis-
toric mammal. 1t was found last Sun
day in the muck which had been
dredged from the big ditch south Of
town. The bone was badly crumbled,
but the teeth were intact, and their
size would indicate conclusively that
the animal from which they came was
of huge size. The find will be sent
to some museum for examination and
classification.

--..------'--~ STOLEN GOODS ON HIM

Last Tuesday night some one broke
into the Sol Schpok's elevator in De-
catur and stole four sacks of clover
seed and seed beans to the total value
of $4,000. Sheriff Beattie was noti-
fled and with his customary alacrity
was soon on the trail. Before the
day was over, he had arrested one
Dorsey Smith of Decatur at MARCEL
us, with the stolen seed in his possess
ion. His examination was held be-
fore Judge Rowland, and in default of
$500 bail was taken to the county
Jail to await trial. And all within
twenty-four hours from the time the
ofrense was committed. 1t is proba-
BILE that he will plead guilty to the
charge.

WOULD INCREASE
THE EFFICIENCY
OF VAN BUREN COUNTY FARM
BUREAU, Is PLAN OF THE
COUNTY FEDERATION OF
FARMERS.
APPROPRIATIONS NOT ENOUGH
Representatives Will Solicit New
Members and Subscriptions in
Various Precincts Election Day.

The Van Buren County Farmers
Federation through its committee
appointed for that purpose composed
of Carl Buskirk of Paw Paw, presi-
dent; Robert Anderson Of Covert,
Secretary and j. c. Stafford of Law
renee made an appeal to the citizens
for Van Buren, County for new men,
bers and additional funds to assist in
carrying on the splendid work of the
Farm Bureau service. The head of
this department is paid by an appro-
proation from the Federal Govern
ment, another appropriation from the
state of Michigan and small one
from the county through the Board of
Supervisors. The appropriations are
all contingent upon the raising of
81 900 or more by the public spirited
citizens of the county. Last year,
the Federation was barely able to
raise enough for Mr. Farrands salary
and travelling expenses. The funds
raised have not been sufficient TO en-
ploy any Office work, and as a result
the office has been left vacant when
Mr.. Farrand was away, and besides
he should not have to spend time ir
the details of office work He car
accomplish the most good by going
out on the farms for demonstrations
So it is quite necessary to raise more
money for this work, to maintain and
increase its efficiency.
The Federation has therefore de-
cided to have representative al
every polling place in the county or
election day, to solicit new members
and contributions for this work. AL
the money raised goes into the hand:
of honest and practical men, anc
every cent is expended to increase tn,
efficiency of farm bureau work. The
membership fee is $500 per Year
A boost for the Farm Bureau is
boost for Van Buren, county, which
may easily become leader among
the counties of the state in several o.
the wealth producing activities o.
agriculture. 1t is to the interest o.
everybody to assist in this work.

WHO MAILED BROWN SUIT CASE

One day last week some one mailed
brown suit case through the Paw

parcel in the mails and it was return

no way now for the Postmaster or
employees of the office to know from
whom the suit case was received or
where and tn whom it was going. 1t
