fence and facilities for ticket taking
are already in place at the fair

VALUE TO BEGIN SOON

Ten and eighteenth miles of paw
ing will be done by the federal gov
ernment and the state in Shiawassee
county this year. This announce
ment is made by Joseph Mcdonald,
highway engineer for the county road
commission, following a conference

road, starting at the east city limits
one mile east of the Caledonia town
house and extending to the Genesee
county line.
Mr.. Mcdonald also announced
that~tffsr right of way across several
farms had been obtained to permit
the Strengthening Of the Owosso-Flint
road from Kerby east. There are
now two turns in the road, and by
eliminating them the distance to be

WHITE SHRINE
INSTITUTED.

Shiawassee White Shrine, a new
branch of Masonry to which both men
and women are eligible to member
ship, was formally instituted Monday
afternoon and evening.
AT one-thirty o'clock luncheon
was served at Christians Colonial
cafe. After the luncheon the party
went to the Masonic rooms, which
had been very beautifully decorated.
The work of instituting the White
Shrine was begun at four o'clock by
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred E. Eaton of Kala-
mazoo, and Mrs. Ida p. Simons of
Lansing, past supreme herald. Mrs.
Ida M. Hume graciously expressed
the wish that the White Shrine be
named the Shiawassee White Shrine
rather than the Ida M. Hume White
Shrine, as had been planned, it being
not in accord with the plan of the
! Supreme Lodge to name the Shrines
after living persons. This motion
was adopted.
At this time recess was taken
and all repaired to the armory, where
the Women's Auxiliary of the Ameri-
can Legion served a most delicious
banquet.
The guests from Lansing Shrine,
who were to do the work of initiation
was done in highly impressive and
beautiful way by the Lansing ladies
upon a class of eight candidates.
The Shiawassec White Shrine feels
proud Of the fact that its number OF
charter members is greater than that
of any other Shrine so far instituted
in Michigan. The organization be.
gins its work with 225 charter mem
bers.

TWO HELD FOR TRIAL
ON ASSAULT CHARGE

Frank Craig and Lee Cammarn,
Ch;ppewa Lake youths. were given a
hearing before Justice of Peace w. T.
A;nsworth last Thursday afternoon on
a charge of assault and battery. The
hearing had been set for the previous
week, but was postponed upon request
of counsel for defense.
The alleged offense occurred on the
night of Sunday, July IL, following a
dance held in a grove near the lake,
and was the result of disagreement
as to who should have the privilege OF
escort to two young ladies from the
dance. The latter are Alice Smith
and Madge Murphy of Lakewood, 0.
The victims of the alleged assault are
Leonard Sims and Jack and Morris
Toleu, all of Cleveland.
The girls were at the hearing on
Thursday and testified substantially
as follows:
That they accompanied Craig and a
youth by the name of Rohrer to the
dance. Subsequently difference
arose between the latter and his lady
friend the latter refusing his further
attentions. Meanwhile she accepted
the attention of one of the Cleveland
boys. When time to go home, Craig's
fair one announced to him her inten-
ton Of accompanying the girl she
came with, and both girls with their
new escorts started away. They had
not proceeded far when, according to
the girls, Craig and Cammarn attack
ed the Toleus and Sims, beating them
up considerably.
At the hearing Thursday the charge
of assault on Sims was dismissed, but
Craig and Cammarn were bound over
to the grand jury under bond OF $500
each, which was furnished.
