YOUTHFUL DESPERADORS

IL was strange experience that
Defeil Charles Harvey, a well known
farmer of Thetford, one day recent
ly, when two small boys, the eldest
not over fifteen years of age made an
attempt to rob, if not murder him,
upon main travelled road and in
broad daylight. Mr.. Harvey had
been to Clio with load of wheat and
had started toward home in the late
afternoon when the two boys climbed
into the back end of his wagon. AS
boys frequently catch rides in this
way Mr.. Harvey paid no attention to
them and consequently the larger of
the boys found it easy to crawl up
behind the unsuspecting farmer and
strike him across the head with club
which he had been carrying conceal
ed under his coat. The boy struck
Mr.. Harvey with all his might and
that the latter was not killed or rem
dered unconscious was piece of
good fortune. Jumping up to see
what had happened Mr.. Harvey turn
ed and was thunderstruck to see the
boy standing with the club in his
hands, and upon graphing with him
the boy again struck him in the face.
The occurrence took place about 40
rods east of Pine Run and at about
the time Mr.. Harvey grabbed his
youthful assailant Ray Bartholomew
drove up in his automobile. Being
unable to hold the boy and at the
same time to manage his team, Mr..
Harvey was obliged to release him,
upon which he and his companion
jumped to the ground and ran away
a
vey's face, down which the blood
was streaming, and learning what had
happened, Mr.. Bartholomew prompt
ly drove his car to one side of the
road and took after the youthful
hold-up men. The latter ran until
they reached the highway near the
knlckerbocker farm, where Ralph
Knickerbocker, who had been ap-
prised of the circumstances, was
waiting in his automobile for them.
Without letting the boys know that
he. knew what had happened, Ralph
asked them if they wanted a ride.
They inquired which way he was GO
ing and on being told Birch Run said
that was where they wished to go.
After getting them into the car
Ralph and man who was with him
took them direct to Clio and turned
them over to Deputy Sheriff Chas. L.
Best, and the latter took them to
Flint and lodged them in Jail
The boys names are Floyd Page
and James Hayes, the former having
lived for a time in Clio. The Page
boy struck Mr.. Harvey with club
which he had prepared in advance
for the commission of some such
crime by whiting it down with
knife and tying strong string Ground
the end to slip over his wrist. Both
boys, despite their tender age, acted
like hardened criminals and neither
shed tear or express the slightest
regret for what they had done. The
Page boy especially had many of the
characteristics of a moral degenerate
and absolutely refused to speak to
We understand that the younger of
the boys (Hayes) has been sent
enced to the Industrial School at
Lansing and that the authorities are
holding the older boy with the hope
of giving him a more serious sent
ence, as he has been in trouble sever
al times before

JOHN SCHLoSSER INJURED

7 John Schlosser, a we'll known
farmer of Thetford Township, was
quite seriously injured Tuesday
morning. 1t happened when he was
going out of the back barn door
which is few feet above the ground.
He had a pitch fork in his hands
which he used to steady himself to
the ground and in some way his
hands slipped letting him fall, his
full weight coming on the fork ham
die which caught him in the right
side. If the liver is not injured it
probably will not prove serious.

Attorney Stephen r.. LSck wood has
Informed H. B. Mcttler. Sr., manager
In charge of. the ChiIds' restaurant

cutting prices to 1910 schedule with

"Our investigation has shown"
said Mr.. Lockwood, "that the cost
prices to restaurant proprietors and

annual profits, overhead costs and
such items. Mr.. Mettler stated that
