WORK ACTUALLY
STARTED On NEW
PASSENGER DEPOT
LONG LOOKED FOR AND SOOFF-
ED AT PREPARATIONS ARE
NOW UNDER WAY

A number of men alighted from the
morning passenger train up from
Grand Rapids Monday and work was
soon started which at the present
time gives the appearance that there
will some day be new Pere Mar
quette passenger depot built here,
the preliminary preparations, such as
laying out the location, lines, etc. hay-
ing been completed and the work Of
excavation being already well under
way.
The contractors who have the build
ing of the new depot are II. V. Snyder
and Son, of Battle Greek and their
foreman, Charles F. Davis, who is
here on the job, is man of many
years experience in this work and he
says that the building will be pushed
with all the men and material the
concern can get. He is of the opin-
ion that the building will not be ready
for occupancy before January /, 1921.
A gang of section men from Ed
more, Vestaburg, Gowen, Orleans and
the local crew, worked all day Sun
day, moving the tracks about 20 feet
to the north, to accommodate the new
building. They began their work
early Sunday morning and had the big
job completed by about five o'clock.
1t is the intention of the contractors
to use all the local help and purchase
all material which they can locally,
provided local prices are anywhere
near other prices quoted them.

A good many of the farmers OF the
vicinity gathered with the merchants
and other people Of this city, Thurs
day afternoon, the occasion being the
big picnic and get together meeting
which was scheduled to be held there
that day. Owing to the weather be-
ing lust as favorable for getting in the

attendance as might have been but
still there were a great many who
had their work so far advanced that
they were able to take the day off
Many city folks from here and lonia
also attended.
An indoor ball game played be-
tween the farmers and the city dubs
desulted in a bad defeat for the fell
lers who will probably remember the
drubbing for a long time.
w. w. MARBLE, of the Beatrice

only speaker on the program and he

DROP SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST LOCAL MAN

VIM. B.. Hughes, local war vet
against whom Muskegon woman
made complaint and secured the is
suing of a warrant charging seri-
Gus offense, has been notified by his
attorney, F. o. Eldred, of Ionia, that
the case has been discontinued and
that it would not be necessary for
him to, bother further as the justice
in Muskegon, before the case was to
be tried, had sent word to that effect.
Hughes was arrested here by Dep
uty Murray about six weeks ago and
held here pending the arrival of the
Muskegon county sheriff. He was
taken there and given a hearing and
retained F. o. Eldred, of Ionia, as his
attorney. The date of the trial was
set for next Tuesday, July "a. The
charge against Hughes was made by
woman with whom he boarded with
there and her refusal to appear in
the case against him would seem to
give Hughes clean bill Of innocence
regarding tire charge.

the Bricker hotel over night, stepped
out on the street in front of the hotel
Monday night just in time to have the
honor of being hit with Lester Trim
ble's brand new big REQ Sedan con-

near putting the Australian down and
out but he was able to continue his
travels again Tuesday morning. Rand
has travelled all over the world, has
sailed practically every piece of salt
water on the universe, being a real
sail boat old salt sailor and never had
an accident and thinks there is some

try to croak him.
