HAS RETURNED
DIR. Sluyter Has Returned to Alma
and Will Resume His Practice.

DR.. +. G.. Sluyter, who left here
about nine months ago to take a post
graduate course at kirksville, Mo-,
has returned to this city and will re-
sumo his practice at his former Offices
Monday, July lst.
During the first four months that he
was gone from Alma Dr. Sluyter
specialized in several of the more i'm
portant branches of his work, and be-
cause Of his success in this specializa-
tion was made inferno under DR.. Still,
who bears national reputation in
his line. The five months work as
an inferno opened up numerous oppor-
tunities for study and practical ex-
perience Of which DR.. Sluyter quickly
availed himself, so that he returns to
Alma better equipped than ever to
serve the needs of those who call on
him.
DR.. Mcintosh, who has been taking
charge of the practice while DR.
Sluyter has been studying, will leave
Alma the first of the week, and, while
he has not definitely decided, may To-
cate at Richmond, after a visit with
his parents at Romeo.

BRENNAN MURDER
CASE IS STARTED
Clinton County Circuit Court is
Scene of the Trial of
Flint Actor.
JURY NOT YET SECURED
Expected Jury Will Be Completed
This Week and Arguments in
Case Started.

The second trial TO grow out of the
murder of Miss Beatrice Epler of this
city on the night of Tuesday, Septem-
Der 4, 1917, was started in the circuit
court Of Clinton county at st. Johns
Monday, when the state started its
case against John +. Brennan, the
Flint actor, who has been held on a
last December.
The defense in this case month
ago pettioned Judge Moinet for a
change of venue, setting forth the
probable cost of the trial in Gratiot
county, and the prejudice which prob
ably existed against the prisoner as
grounds for the change of venue.
The judge decided with the defense
in the case, and later, after the attor-
neys for the prosecution and defense
had failed upon a place for the trial,
set the place himself.
Prosecuting Attorney Ora L. Smith
of Gratiot county has retained the
services Of Kelly S. Scarf, former
circuit judge, for this case. John F.
Brennan has the same attorneys that
Eichorn retained, these being Purcell
of Saginaw, c. H. Goggin of Alma
and William Smith of St. Johns.
Again in this case the attorneys
for both defense and prosecution are
going over the prospective jury men
in a most careful way, to bring out
their knowledge of the case, and par
ticularly if they have any fixed opin-
ion regarding it.
Rapid progress was apparent from
the first in the selection Of the jury,
even though the attorneys were care
full and asked any number of ques-
tions of the veniremen. A number Of
them were excused by +. j. Moinet,
circuit judge, on the ground that they
were needed on their farms. The
shortage of farm labor and the
amount of work to be done, or a lack
of desire on the part of the farmers
to act in this case, caused the appeals
to Judge Moinet to be excused.
The first venire for the Brennan
jury was exhausted Tuesday after
noon. and shortly before court adj
journed second venire of nineteen
men was drawn. 1t is expected that
the jury will be obtained before Fri
day night. and that the arguments
in the case will be started Saturday

PRETTY LITTLE MISS
IN TROUBLE HERE
DetrOiter Faces Charge of Grand
Larceny, Following a Visit
to This City.

Pretty Miss Alma Spencer of De-
troit ran up against the law during
a recent visit TO this city, at which
time she was demonstrating at the d.
w Robinson dry goods store, but
evidently failed to realize the nature
of her alleged doings in this city,
until she was taken in tow the first
of the week in Detroit, where she
was located by officers. She was re-
turned to this city by Undersheriff
Art Murphy, who went to Detroit for
her, armed with a warrant charging
her with grand larceny.
Tuesday afternoon she was ar
raigned before ID. l.. Johnson, justice
of the peace. On advice of her attor-
ney, Ralph Goggin, demand for ex-
animation was made, which was set
for Thursday, July 20.
Bail was set at $4,000, which was
secured by the pretty little Miss from
Detroit. and Tuesday night she re-
turned to that city.
1t is alleged that when conducting
a demonstration at the Robinson store
recently she was attracted to various
articles in the store, which she en-
deavored to make away with. The
value of the goods is said to be con-
siderable over twenty-five dollars.

FIRST FLAG
Old Resident Tells of Flag Used at
First Fourth Celebration Here.

When the pioneers OF Alma, melted
by the love of country, determined in
the year 1856 to celebrate the Fourth
of July they found, to their conster-
nation, that they had no national en-
blem. 1t was then that the resource
fulness of womankind was made man
ifest. Finding some mysterious gar
ments available both m quality and
color they ran these through the loom
of nimble-fngers and produced as the
result of their labor flag.
The small number of enthusiastic
patriots who took part in this back
woods revelry often boasted of firing
salute (this being the din resulting
from the simultaneous boom of shot
guns), listening TO an grafton, and
floating the stars and stripes of Old
Glory.
What is that see thro the mist of
the past,
When our forefathers hailed their
first celebration;
AS it floats thro' the wilds, an
honored protplast-
Above the brave men who help build
us nation.
There it catches the CLEAN
OF the Pioneers first dream.
Now at rest are the fingers
That sewed it enseam-
'Tis the star-spangled banner,
First in Alma to wave,
Ger the wilds and the free
And the home of the brave.
-Eulah r. Hannah.

MANY CALLED
FOR SERVICE
July Call Expected to Practically
Deplete Men Now in
Class One.
M|CH|GAN'S QUOTA $500
New Twenty -Oners and Reclassifica-
tion Will Furnish More Men for
This Class.

Practically all men physically fit,
called to the colors in July, as a
further step in the plans of the war
department to have 100000 men
under arms by August 1st.
The call as issuedby Provost
Marshal General Crowder calls for
243,436 men to be called to the army
in July, $500 of whom are being
called from Michigan. Men are called
from every state in the union under
this new order, and it is expected
that in almost every draft district
in the country that the call will take
almost every man now in class one.
This is particularly true in Gratiot
county.
The men from Michigan who are
called to the colors this coming month
will go into training at Camp Custer.
The time for the entrainment of the
men from this draft district is not
yet announced.
The recently registered twenty
ones will be drawn today, Secretary
of War Baker pulling the first num-
ber. With these men classified it
will not be long before men are call
ed from those recently listed, as more
men are needed to round out the gov
ernment plans.
The boards in the various districts
are re-classifying the men of the
other classes into class one, which
will give a greater drawing power
before class one is finally exhausted.
1t is expected that the new twenty
ones and the re-classified men will be
called before the first of the year,
completely depicting class one before
that time.

NEARLY ,ASPHY MATED

Miss Carolyn Hughes, daughter Of
Fred W. Hughes of st. Louis, had
narrow escape from death by asphyx-
iation on Saturday evening. The
young woman while bathing in the
bath room of their residence was
overcome by escaping gas from the
coil attached to the hot water tank.
Mr.. Hughes heard her making
peculiar noise and thinking something
was wrong went to her assistance. As
he approached the bath room he
smelled gas and entering he found
his daughter in a dangerous condition
and removed her to place of safety.
Restoratives were administered and
after some time the young woman
regained consciousness. She is i'm
proving although very weak and ner-
vous.

WON CASE
Jury Decided That Nelson Had No
Cause for Action.

The Nelson -Sandel case, which was
fought out in circuit court at Ithaca
last week, was complete victory for
George Sandel of this city, the jury
returning a verdict of no cause for
action, after being out only short
time.
Clinton Nelson was suing Sandel
for twenty-five thousand dollars dam
ages for certain illegal relations with
his wife, about two years ago. The
jury evidently thought that there was
very little evidence submitted to show
their illegal relations, alleged to have
taken place
The case was hard fought one
from start to finish, the attorneys on
both sides extending themselves TO
the limit for their clients.
Mr.. Nelson informed the Record
reporter yesterday that he had ap-
pealed the case to the Supreme Court
and that he was hopeful of a better
result from the highest court in the
state.

CELEBRATION TO
Be BIG AFFAIR
Arrangements Completed for a
Great Celebration Here
Next Week.
MILITARY STREET PARADE
Sammies. Liberty Trucks, Home
Guards and Cadets in the Big
Parade.

The plans of the Alma Driving club
10 give Alma a safe, sane, yet highly
patriotic and enjoyable Fourth Of
July are going ahead at full speed
and indications are very bright for
the best celebration which the county
has ever enjoyed.
One of the things that has devel-
oped during the week has been the
presentation of fine flag to the
Alma Driving club for the flag rails
in gat the driving club park which is
10 be held at 80 p. m. The flag Is
a gift to the driving club by the ID.
w. Robinson dry goods store. A fine
flag pole, about forty feet high will
be erected for the flag raising.
Without question, the parade to be
held at 1000 a. IN. on the Fourth will
be the finest thing of the kind which
has ever been attempted in this Sec
tion of the state. 1t will probably be
the first time that the United States
troops will be seen in Fourth Of
July parade in the county, the troops
which are now here to drive trucks
through to the coast being those who
will appear in the parade.
In addition to this other warlike
and patriotic features will be seen, in
cluding a goodly number of those
famous Liberty trucks, which will be
loaned for the occasion. This is made
possible through the fact that they
are assembled right here in Alma.
The Alma high school cadets in
full uniform and with their Spring
field rifles, the Alma company Of
home guards, soon to be company 81,
Michigan State Troops, will also be
in the parade. in addition to the regu-
lar features which are seen every
year
Every effort is being made to secure
good drivers for the auto races and
also good horses for the horse races
which are 10 be held at the driving
clubs park in the afternoon. This
assures lovers of racing, an afternoon
brim full of good sport. They will
also have the pleasure of knowing
that a portion of the funds which are
realized at the gate, will go for war
purposes, in addition to the regular
war tax.
Two good addresses are billed for
the day. Rev. j. Frank Jackson will
give an address at Wright park at
11.O0 a. m, and in the afternoon AT
100, William A. Bahlke will give
an address at the driving clubs park.
Both men are strong thinkers, and
good takers, and are certain to have
a good message for their audiences.

VERY PLEASING
Alma Woman in Artists Recital Was
Highly Pleasing to Audience.

The following taken from a Cham
paign, H., newspaper, speaks highly
of the work of Mrs Mckenzie, who
appeared in a recent artists recital
in that city:
A large number of invited guests
were on hand at Masonic temple,
Champaign, Friday evening, to listen
to the recital given by Miss Clara
Broderick and Mrs. Olga Louise Nc
Kenzie, artist pupils of Mrs. Eliza
beth Y. Allen, vocal instructor, and
Miss Bernice Fielding, the accom-
plished reader.
MRS. McKenzie's voice is a mezzo
soprano of remarkable power and un-
usual evenness thruout its consider
able range. There were many telling
moments in Whelpley's 81 Know ii
Hill" and Steffen's "The Birth of
Spring" and Mrs. McKenzie's enun-
citation even in the most difficult pas
sages was always quite clear and dis
tinct. Ward Stephens There's Ever
a Song" was accorded particularly
sympathetic Interpretation"

MASS MEETING
Alma War Savings Drive Will Open
With Meeting at High School.


At 500 o'clock Friday evening a
big mass netting will be held in the
Alma high school auditorium, as the
opening wedge m the campaigfn in
Alma for War Savings stamps.
Everyone is requested to be present
at this meeting to help make it a
success, and give the drive a good
send off.
Chairman Murphy has secured
three able speakers for the evening,
these being William A. Bahlke, Rev.
William II. Mason and Rev. Priest,
TO give short addresses. II will be
the last opportunity for Alma people
to hear DR.. Mason in this city.
The matter Of War Savings and
Thrift stamps will be taken up and
thoroughly discussed from the stand
point of investment, and as a patri-
otic move in behalf Of Uncle Sam,
who is in need Of the savings of the
people Of the nation.

CHAUTAUQUA
Rdpath Chautauqua Dates Have
Been Set for August.

The annual Redpath Chautauqua
this year will be in Alma August II
to 10, at which time the chautauqua
goers of this city will have the OPP
portunity of hearing one of the best
programs that has ever been given in
this city.
Every effort has been made by the
Redpath people this year to give the
public the finest program which could
be secured, and reports from the va
rious places which the chautauqua
has visited indicate that success has
been met with in this respect.
1t will probably be nearly a month
yet before the Alma committee puts
the chautauqua tickets for the coming
attractions on sale, and meanwhile
plans for a hot ticket sale campaign
are being laid.

TRUCK LINES
Saginaw Men Figuring on Truck
Lines Through Valley Cities.

Motor truck lines from Saginaw to
Alma, Bay City, Caro- and Flint, with
the latter perhaps extended to De-
troit, are being planned by Saginaw
men who are now making a canvass
of that city to find out just how much
business they might expect should
they cary out the project. They
would probably give freight service
every day or on alternate days and
could, they think, give service far
better than the railroads furnish.
Both private enterprise and the
Board of Commerce are working on
this plan. The board has for some
time been giving the matter its at.
tention and is cooperating with the
commercial organizations in other
cities with this in view.
1t is pointed our that the trucks
could carry the freight with the alb
solute minimum of handling. They
would load at the factory of the ship
per and the goods need not be touch
ed till they reached their destina-
tion. This is in contrast with from
four to six or eight landings neces-
sary when the goods are shipped by
rail.
The speed would be greater for the
cutting down of handling and the
independence of each truck unit
would make it possible to ship the
goods in the shortest possible time.
1t is believed the truck line could
beat rail shipment by many hours.
Freight charges would be higher
than by rail, but because the shipper
could cut down his handling expenses
and because Of the better service pro-
vided it is thought the shipper would
really not be under any additional
expense.
The proposed line is not certain yet
by any means, for the promoters have
not completed their canvass and do
not know how much freight they can
expect, but they think the railroad
service which has been given the past
few months and which threatens to
continue will make their scheme a
welcome one.
1t is pointed out that Detroit and
many other cities have gone into the
motor truck transportation plan ex-
tensively and that it is proving to be
a great success, particularly during
the summer months. Whether il
could be made success in the winter
remains to be seen.

PATTENGILL REUNION
Former Pupils of Pat" Will Meet
in Alma Friday.

The annual Pattengill reunion will
be held on Friday, June 2Sth, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. lothian Allen
invitation issued by them a year ago.
This affair is a reunion Of all the old
school pupils of Henry Pattengill,
former Gratiot county school teacher
who is now nationally known as am
educator of high worth, and whose
ability has been recognized in the past
by the state which he has served as
superintendent of public instruction.
1t is a time for general festivity
among his former pupils.
Following the usual custom at these
reunions, the old songs, which were
sung by Pats" former pupils will
again be sung, just as in the old days,
when in knee pants, and short dresses,
these elderly folks poured over the
lessons which Mr. Pattengill handed
out to them.
Letters will be read from those Of
the old pupils who will not be able to
attend the meeting, and it is expected
that such letters will be received from
all sections of the country, as these
old students have spread far and wide
since the days when they attended
school in Gratiot county.
According to the announcement
which has been published there will
be one of those bounteous basket din
ners at two o'clock, at which time
baskets loaded down with every
conceivable variety of wheatless and
meatless goodies will be spread out
for a great repast.
The program for the reunion is not
available for publication, but certain
it is, that with Pattengill on hand,
there will be a general good time, as
he is royal entertainer himself
