Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1921-02-10

Late Saturday afternoon Mrs.
Grove and her daughter, Pansy, aged
8 started for the Cleveland grocery
on Bridge street, where the family
had been trading. Here Mrs Grove
made some small purchases, and Civ
ing loaf of bread, package of but
ter. and sack Of fried cakes to
Pansy, she told her 10 return home,
while she went TO the post office to
see If there was any mail from Mr..
Grove, who was working in a mill
at Alba. After getting her mail at
the post office Mrs. Grove started
for her home, but stopped for short
time at the home of Mrs. Lawrence
Senkovits on Grafton avenue, for
whom she had done some work in the
past. This was about 5:45. About
an hour later Mrs. Grove left,
starting for her home, still several
blocks away. Because of some re-
marks that were made at the Sen
kovits home it is believed that Mrs.
Grove started down the railroad
track, TO take the short cut through
the field to her home, as this would
eliminate her walking through the
mud for several blocks where there
was no sidewalk. From that time
on nothing has been learned of the
movements Of the woman.
II was not until yesterday that
Alma became fully aware that she
was again in the throes of a mys-
terious murder by strangulation,
which even now bids fair to surpass
the Epler case in mystery, it being
one Of those cases that seem 70 be
utterly devoid of clues of any kind
on which the officers can make a
start in tracing down the murderer
The body Of Mrs. Grove was found
about 1000 a. m. Sunday by Paul
Ritter and Donald Blanck, two young
lads who live in the neighborhood
The lads were crossing the open field
going from the Blanck home to the
Ritter home on Grover avenue, when
they came in sight of the body and
then started for the nearest house
Meantime William Wilcox. neigh
Dor to the Groves, started for a pail
OF water, when ne was accOsted by
one Of the Grove children, who asked
if he had seen their mother Inquiry
then brought out the fact that she
had not been at home all night long
and Wilcox went into the Grove
home and after starting a fire for
the children was about 70 call in the
neighbors 10 start a search for Mrs
Grove. when Ritter and Blanck came
to the house and told of seeing the
body Of a woman in the field A
quick inspection showed that it was
the body of Mrs. Grove, and Wilcox
Immediately summoned officers, and
then returned to watch the body.

The German government has resumed
payments on reparations account il
dollars in this market anticipating the
SlS0,0o0,000 due on August 81 next,
when the three months German Urea
sury bills, indorscd by three leading
German banks, turned over to the
Allied Preparations Commission in May
reach maturity.
SO far this week the bankers here
acting for the German TreGsurv in the
Preparations payment operations have on
instructions from Berlin drawn against
current German balances in dollars to
the extent of approximately 5000
o0o. This amount is understood to
have been turned into the Federal
Reserve Bank OF New York to the credit
of the Bank Of England
One OF the banking houses acting for
Germany received two cables from Ber-
lin, yesterday. each of which ordered
that 100000 be paid into the local
Federal Reserve Bank. Two other
banking institutions also have received
orders to make payments on the same
account this week. The exact amounts
involved in the latter case are not
known, but they are not believed to
bring the total above $1,000 900

Days Dealings in Bonds
The Market

Despite the extremely dull session
in the stock market yesterday the
turnover in bonds kept up to the aver
age of recent days and prices were
we'll maintained. Practically all classes
of bonds continued to act we'll. The
rise of recent weeks in the bond mar
ket has carried the prices of many of
the foreign government issues which
not long ago were sagging below the
offering figures well above par. This
broadening demand for the outstanding
foreign governments has doubtless
been an important factor in causing
local bankers to give consideration to
new fotations of the same character.
Railroad bonds continued active yes
terday and the tone was firm.
