! MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
ON WIRES, SUNDAY
DIES SHORTLY AFTER BEING
TAKEN DOWN FROM WIRES
BY SMYRNA RESIDENTS
(By Banner-News Smyrna Corr

(By Banner-News Smyrna Corr
Sunday, August "a, was the sad
dest of sad days for Smyrna. Just
as everybody was making plans for
day of rest or pleasure, just when
the Sunday school was in progress,
little after ten o'clock, word came
that Lloyd Olds, repair man for the
Citizens Telephone Co., was hanging
across the electric light wires down
near Mrs. TebbePs residence. No
body knew just how it happened. Be-
ing busy through the week, he had
come down fere to do little repair
work for the Smyrna Telephone Go !,
and was engaged at that work when
the accident happened. Where he
was at work the telephone wires and
electric light wires run along side
by side quite close together and it is
a rather dangerous place to work,
but he was quick, 1.-the and sure foot
ed and no one thought ofshim as be-
ing conected with any mishap. One
minute he was seen busily engaged
with the task before him and the next
he was lying across those awful
death dealing wires Mrs. Emma Lee
who is staying with Mrs Mary Teb-
bel, was probably the first one who
saw him, and she said "Oh Lloyd,
what is the matter" but he could not
reply, and she screamed for help.
The families who live near where IL
happened, Mr.. and Mrs. Osborn,
George and John Tebbel and their
wives were quickly there and to the
first ccmers he held out his hands
for help but soon lapsed into uncon-
sciousness. AS soon as the word
could be got to the plant the electric
power was shut off, but by that time
he was burned beyond help although
doctors and nurse worked over him
faithfully until after all heart action
had ceased and they were forced re-
lunctantly to say he had passed away
and there was no hope. Lloyd Olds
only son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram
Olds, was born twenty-five years age
just over the township line in Orleans
but nearly all his lifetime was passed
in or near Smyrna. He was one of our
Smprpa boys, pleasant, fun loving,
and full of life, yet always polite to
those older than himself and ready
and willing tc help all who needed
his assistance He was loved by all
who knew him and those who knew
him best loved him most. When he
was called to be a soldier boy it was
with regret we saw him go away and
with joy we greeted him on his safe
return. Besides his parents, he leaves
an only sister, younger than himself
and they are nearly heart broken
with the grief they find SO hard to
| bear.
The Ballard-Lloyd undertakers re.
moved the remains to the home OF
mains to the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Insley.
After he was taken down from the
pole it was suggested that a pulmo-
tor might be used effectively in re.

cured with Miss Irene Barnes, matror

His funeral was held this Afternoon
at 200 o'clock from Mr.. Insley's
residence.

II Was Some Turtle He Lost

A. l.. Karshner while fishing at the
Clay banks on Flat river, between
this city and Smyrna, recently has
had trouble with a large turtle de-
vouring his catch Of fish, the old fell
low would wait until good
string Of bass were tied to the bank
and then make a raid on them, de-
vouring them all.
Karshner caught site of him sew
eral times and baited two big hooks
attached to an inch rope which he
soon swallowed, bait, hooks and
all and Karshner began pulling him
in. The turtle fought and clawec
vigorously and on trying to land him
he bit the rope off above the hooks
making his escape.
Mr.. Krashner says it looked larger
than a wash tub. He is mourning his
loss of SO pounds of meat which he
estimated the monster would weigh.

SEVERAL ISSUES

The people OF this country should not
let themselves slumber under the de-
lusion that the controversy between
Postmaster General Burleson and the
owners OF the Postal Telegraph Com
pany is Of interest to those persons
only. There are several issues in which
all the people have an interest. Least
in importance are the increased charges
and diminished service incident to gov
ernment operation. More important is
that policy Of government ownership
which will be foisted upon the country
II the Postmaster General has his way.
But more important still is the observ-
ance Of property rights, which, if in
fringed upon in one instance, may, with
equal recklessness, be seized in other
instances. II is to the interest of every
citizen to see that justice Is done to
every other citizen,

In
Rum Is Seized
Wholesale Plots to Ship Liquor
in Cars From Ohio Coal
Mines Blocked.

Detroit, April l6.-One million dol
lars worth of liquor, in cases, trunks,
grips, kegs, barrels and other contain
ers repose in the basement of the coun-
ty building and other storage places,
held innocuous by John B. Downey's
department.
During the last two weeks 103 arrests
have been made by the liquor depart
ment which resulted in the confiscation
OF some of the largest whisky consign-
ments that have been brought into the
state since the dry law went into effect.
Enough liquor, bonded goods, white
still whisky from dozens of stills being
unearthed in Wayne county, brandy
and wines to make up a trainload of
twenty cars Tuesday morning, crowded
the basement rooms at the county court
house, with forty-one inspectors of the
department reporting new seizures at
the passenger depots, the steamer
docks and in various places outside
Detroit.
One wholesale plot with ramifications
extending into Coshocton county, Ohio,
and the coal mines of that county has
been uncovered, one carload of coal dis
covered at Coshocton or Clowville, near
Coshocton, having more than 5000
worth of concealed whisky consigned
to Detroit firm.
Blind tigering under the Lewis act
is declared by Downey to have become
de trop, and listed among the 1O3 ar
rests are names Of those alleged to have
been among the biggest commercial
runners OF liquor in Detroit.
Many former saloonkeepers, garage
owners, and, in some cases, the heads
of smaller manufacturing companies,
are defendants on the complaints now
being filed, which, on conviction, per-
NIT the maximum fine of 81 600 and i'm
prisonment for year.

East Jordan, the sale being made in
compliance with the terms of an order

Of this county.
The property in question is one OF
the most valuable hotel sites in the city

to properly conduct the business, the
hotel was never rebuilt after the last
fire, and for two years the property
has stood vacant and unrepaired.
The legal steps taken places the title
of the property in Mr.. Porter, unless

PALMER DECLARES PEACE

Attorney General Palmer doesn't
seem to count the fact that we are not
at peace with Germany. Several sedi-
ton charges against magazine writer's
indicted under the espionage act have
been dismissed, Mr.. Palmer having
suggested that the ends of justice
would thus best be served in view of
hostilities with Germany having ended.
II would appear on the surface, at least
that whether hostilities had ceased or
not should have no effect on these
cases, The result should rest on whether
or not the indicted persons are guilty.
just because the "war is over" Is no
sign their seditious utterances did nc
vhrm before the armistice was signed.
Such action on the part Of the Attorney
General is bad example to set for the

FIFTY VISIT
THE LOEB FARM
HOlSteinS Make Fine Cattle
Exhibit.
From Petoskey News

Nioh StoShCy NCWSJ
Fifty farmers of Emmett County en-
joyed trip to the Loeb farms at Char
levoix Friday afternoon.
The rainy weather kept good many
away but those who made the trip en-
joyed it very much.
The men were much interested in
the fine herd of Holsteins which is be-
ing gathered at this farm. Whether a
man is Holstein fancier or not, it is
an inspiration to any lover of live stock
to see the black and white cattle on this
farm.
The men were met by r. V. Otto,
farm superintendent, who conducted
the party through the barns, telling the
merits OF the various cows and the
records of those that have been tested
al those on test at the present time.
The t10,0 herd sire was a source Of
admiration for their isn't better Hol-
stein herd sire in Michigan than the
animal heading the Koch herds.
Mr.. Otto made an attractive offer to
owners of pure bred females who wish
to get the service of the herd sire at
the Loeb farm.
The cattle barn with its arrangement
and fixtures came in for generous
amount Of praise.
The men who made the trip are
much indebted to Mr.. Sloan, general
manager, and Mr.. Otto, farm superin-
tendent, for the courteous treatment
given and the invitation to come again.
Another trip will be arranged for later
in the season for those who were un-
able to go this time.
The trip was planned and arranged
for by the Emmett County Farm Bureau.
