E|CHORN MURDER
TRIAL STARTED
Expect Jury to BE Selected BE.
fore Court AdjOurns for the
Week.
NINE PASSED FOR CAUSE
About Half Will Stick-Will Probably
Get Jury Out of One Hundred
Men.

The A lbert Eichorn murder case i.
now holding the center Of attraction
in circuit court and bids fair to be
come one of the greatest legal battles
which has ever been fought out in the
county, before the case goes to jury
which might come in another week
but which the people of the county
do not expect will be completed in
much less than a month.
The case was gotten under way in
circuit court Tuesday, before Judge
+. j. Monet. being called at 900 a
m. Through misunderstanding. the
jurymen did not get call to report
until 9:30, so short recess was TAX
en-. When the men called for jury ser
vice reported, the case was started
and before the day was over ten of the
men had been tentively selected for
jury service, being passed for the
time by both the attorneys. Wednes-
day the selection of the jurors was
continued and the attorneys went slow
in the matter and were inquiring into
the fitness of the men very closely.
One of those tentiyely selected Tues
day was dismissed Wednesday, eay-
ing nine passed.
1t was given out at 900 o'clock this
morning by Prosecutor Ora l.. Smith
that twenty-four more men have been
called, who reported today, making
about sixty men who so far have been
called in the effort 10 secure IA jury.
Prosecutor Smith said this morning
that there was not the feeling which
the defense had endeavored to make
out in its efforts 20 secure a change
of venue some weeks apo, and that il
was very probable that jury would
be selected inside of one hundred men.
He also remarked that it was prob
able that before the actual trial start
ed that from only four to six of the
nine who have now been passed for
jury service would be left. He ex-
poets that the jury will be selected
before the week is over and that the
arguments in the case will get under
way this coming week
1t is very probable that the trial of
Albert Eichorn will so drag on that
it will not be possible to get John +.
Brennan Of Flint and Inez Johnson Of
this city up for trial on murder
charges at this term Of court, as it is
expected that the Eichorn case will
continue for two or three weeks.

WAR SAVINGS
Campaign in Local Schools is Being
Continued.

The campaign for war savings
stamps in the Alma public schools is
being continued and is making some
great inroads on the supplies of the
Alma postoffice at the present time,
and at least once during the past
week the Office was entirely out Of
Thrift cards
During the past week the campaign
and other sales made at the postoffice
brought in 81 ,5l1.65 to swell the rev.
elSes Of Uncle Sam FOR the war.
In reaching this total of sales p
639 Thrift stamps and 200 War Saw
ing stamps were sold, the greater
part of which were sold to the pupils
of the public schools.
1t is estimated by Assistant Post
master Howard Lake that so far this
week at least 5000 worth of War Saw
ing stamps and Thrift stamps have
been sold in the schools.
1t is exepcted that the campaign
for War Savings stamps and Thrift
stamps will be pushed in the public
schools until the end of the year, and
during this time it is expected that
several thousand dollars worth of
these little Hun slappers will be sold
to the pupils of the schools, who are
straining to do their best in saving
for Uncle Sam, who has an issue of
two million dollars worth of these
stamps TO sell this year.
1t is estimated that there must be
an average sale of over $l00 worth
OF these stamps to every person in
the country during every day in the
year il the United States government
sells out the entire issue of War Saw
ings and Thrift stamps.

Liberty Loan Drive is Meeting
With a Big Success i'm this

Federal Reserve Report Indicates
That the Balance of County is
Behind Alma.

The Liberty Loan campaign in Gra-
tiot county is beginning to take on
all Of the earmarks of successful
campaign. if the good work which
has so far been done is continued and
the people of the county continue to
come to the front as they have dur
ing the past week and half
Subscriptions are coming in in fine
shape from nearly all parts of the
county, with Alma naturally in the
lead with great margin, as has been
expected right along. On the basis
Of the report from the Federal Re
serve bank in Chicago on April l5,
Gratiot county has raised 1927 per
cent Of her quota, and since that
time good reports have been coming
in, particularly from this city, which
has greatly boosted its subscriptions
and is continuing TO maintain its lead
with about twice as big a total as
the rest of the county
There is no question now but what
Alma will raise her quota, the exact
of which has not been fgur-
ed out as yet by the committee.
The reports up to Tuesday night
indicate that the city Of Alma, in
cluding S20,550 from the workmen at
the Republic. has subscribed total
of 1892, $50 to Uncle Sans Third
Liberty Loan bonds. The $4,000
from the city was divided among S64
for an average of Sl35
TO the subscription, an average that
is a high one and will take high
ranking among the cities Of the state.
The report from the Federal Re
serve bank for the county up to and
including April Is. show subscrip-
tions to the amount of Sl26,900, Of
which Alma had $4,000.
The totals for the following day for
Alma which are available increased
the Alma subscriptions to Sl32, $50,
without counting in the subscriptions
Of the two banks of the city. This
indicates that Alma is going we'll
over the top in the campaign.
The report from the Federal Re
serve bank does not do the county full
justice, because of the failure of six
Of the banks Of the county to turn in
reports of their subscriptions. One
Of these is at Ashley. two at Breck-
enridge, one at Ithaca, one at St.
Louis and one at Elwell.
The Federal Reserve report up to
and including April Is, which indi-
Gates that Gratiot county has 29.27
per cent of its quota, with the
amounts reported from the bank of
each city and the number of banks re-
porting follows:

If Gratiot county is to go over the
top, the great work must be contin-
ued and Alma will need to raise
great deal more than she so far has
subscribed. The committee hopes to
reach S225,000 in subscriptions in AL
ma and believes that before May 4
it will reach this total.

To REHAB|L|TATE
CRIPPLED SOLDIERS
FORMATION OF COMMITTEE FOR
THIS WORK URGED BY DE-
TENSE COUNCIL

l.. f. Parsons, chairman of the Latal1
county council of defense, is in receipt
of the following self-explanatory letter
I".Boise Chairman of County Council.
Dear Sir: We wish to call your at
tention to the report of the special com
mittee appointed by the state council of
defense to investigate the matter of the
rehabilitation of disabled soldiers and
sailors who enlisted in Idaho and who
will later return to this state This re-
port appears in this weeks issue of the
Bulletin issued by the state council The
following recommendation is contained
therein:
Zone of the first steps that the Idaho
state. council of defense should take, and
this we suggest and strongly recon-
mend, is to bring about the creation, in
each county, under the direction of the
county councils of defense, of special
military or rehabilitation committee
charged with the duty of welcoming
home all disabled soldiers and sailors,
recording their discharge papers and
seeing they are. given suitable employ
ment, and where it is considered neces-
sary that they be given the opportunity
to take vocational retraining at such
times as this is made possible that these
committees be charged with the duty of
making survey of their counties to
list positions for such men and inculcate
among employers they should give dis
abled soldiers and sailors every oppor-
tunity to work at profitable vocation
1T is generally realized that this sub
ject is one of the most important the
state and county councils will have to
deal with following the close of the war
The special committee has Been given
additional time in which to make more
complete report; however, it seems i'm
oerative now that county councils create
he committees recommended so that
hey may lay the foundation for carrying
N rehabilitation work later This com
nittee will have tosperform some of the
most important functions of county
ounci1ss and will be charged with the
lost important assignment The state
ouncil respectfully suggests that your
ouncil proceed and create such COM
1ittee and, after doing so, forward to +
ne state council the names of the com
littee.
Every respectfully yours,
JOS HANSEN,
Secretary"

the remainder of the list if the drive is

liberal and the city went over the top

fused to contribute.
These people make their money in this
city, or in some cases, loan their. money
here They give various reasons why
they decline to give, trying to camouflage
the fact that they are pro-German. An
example should be made of them. This
town is too fine place to be polluted
by them. A delegation should call on
them, after investigating their financial
standing, and offer them another chance
to give and if they refuse, each case
should be given individual attention by
the committee, and publicity given them
so that all may know them.-Coeur
