Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1921-09-16

The most brutal crime of the year was solved
in Chicago Sunday when twenty three year OLD
former resident of Adams, Wis, confessed that ne
had killed the two Packard car statesmen with
whom he was negotiating for the purchase OF
$4,000 car. Chicago has been the scene OF many
a fiendish crime but young Church has his pre-
vious competitors in brutality beat long distance
as fiend in human form. Old residents OF
Adams and surrounding counties will be struck by
the similarity in which an aged farmer named
Heser was many years ago lured from home by
young man he had known from boy and who
killed the old man for the team of mules they
were taking north to sell. Fred Fenner received
a life sentence for his mad act and Hesler's sons
for years prevented the parole or pardon of the
the murderer Of their father. although he was
later freed on parole. Young Church made the
mistake of committing his murders in illinois
where they hang for those crimes and where ne
will be apt to get his just deserts in brief time.

The people of Wisconsin are apt to awake too
late to the fact that unless provision is soon
made, that road building and upkeep will practi-
cay end with next year. A lot of people enjoy and
benefit from good roads who do not want to pay
for them and they will be in the front ranks OF
kickers when the highway system Of the commun-
tiles in which they live and travel begin to deter
iorate as they surely will if the present plan of
inactivity prevails. Good roads cost money and
that means more taxes but year or two of poor
" maintained roads will be apt to convince every
one that the highways are not the places to prac-
tice i'll advised economy.

so yesterday.
Another encouraging feature is
the activity of the Rev. Matthew
Duffey. At yesterdays report meet
ing the Rev. Mr.. Duffey told the
workers that he was very much con-
cerned about the Alma College cam
paign, not only as Christian min
ister, but as citizen. Next in inn
portance to the church, he said, was
the Christian college. He called at
tention to the fact that while the col
lege was located in the city of Alma
it was in no sense a local institution.
No college, he said, that enlisted the
help of people scattered all the way
from Detroit to Petoskey could be
considered local. He was very sorry
if there was anyone in Gratiot coun-
Nv who would decline to support a
Christian college because. of some
reason or fancied objection to the
city in which it was located. The
issue, he pointed out, was not one
connected with local rivalries, but
whether or not the young man or
women of central Michigan should
have, at their command, the educa-

memorial. DIR. III. M. Crooks made
this very clear at yesterdays report
Of the campaign organza-
ton. He was of the opinion that
there was nothing radically wrong
about the idea of building a memoir
ial to the young men from Gratiot
county who entered the World War.
A memorial would be erected, he de-
clared, even though it were necessary
to invite strangers in TO help raise
the necessary funds. If the city of
Alma, he said, did its part the build
ing was a certainty. Other portions
of the county would be given an OPP
portunity to contribute. If they de-
clined to do so Alma would go ahead
on it's own steam.
Here, by the way, is a suggestion
that will not be pushed as a CAM
paign proposition but is referred to
the county at large. Those who find
it is impossible tocontribute to-
ward a memorial can, if they insist,
contribute toward endowment.

The campaign is developing its
high lights. Yesterday j. w. Rob,

ing organization on the phone and
said that he wanted to make a $500
contribution. That was a case Of the

LEGION WINS
FROM kELLEY'S PETS

The American Legion baseball
team last Saturday defeated Kelley
Pets from Grosvenordale in one of
the most interesting games played on
the North Grosvenordale grounds this
season After nine innings the Lee
gion men led with a 8 to 5 score. The
Legion has won eight out Of ten games
this season.
IL was one Of the best fielding
games ever put up on the local
grounds, and time after time men on
bases were unable to score because of
brilliant plays. Kelley's men played
a great game in the field Duchesne,
playing at short. accepted ten chances
with only one misplay, while Herbert
got everything that came his way in
left field.
For the Legion, heavy hitting was
again in evidence; ten hits were made
off Swanson, who registered only one
strike-out during the game. The on
ly man out by the strike-out route was
j. Johnson in the sixth inning.
Four of the runs scored by Kelley 5
Pets were caused by the errors of the
Legion lineup, while the Legion scored
all but one of their runs on heavy hit
ting Only four hits were made off
Lewis, two Of these being made by
Sweeney.
