visit of King George to participate in the state opening of the Ulster parliament on June 22, the series of tragedies dur ing the weekend eclipsed in savagery any previous shootings.
 The victims included an aged clergy man and three young buseiness men. the latter being found dead in the northern section of the city. The Very Rev. James Finaly of Bawnboy, County Cavan, 80 years old and former dean of Leighlin. who had been a clergyman since 1867, on answering a knock at his door last night was confronted by a number of masked men. Without barley, they took him outside, shot him dead, then battered his head to pulp and burned his residence. The other three men killed were Will | liam Kerr, barber, McLachy Halfpenny, | a postman, and Alexander McBrideN a sa- i loonkeeper all residents of Belfast. As their deaths occurred during the curfew hours, the killings are generally believed here to have been in reprisal for the shooting of a police sergeant and two constables Friday. Many men strangely
 attired were concerned in the grim epi-
 sodes. In each instance the assa assins 1 arrived in motor car. took the intended
 victim from bed and riddled him with bullets outside his house. Then the body
 was paced in the car and removed to the northern heights of the city where il was placed in lonely fields The rela-
 lives say the murdered men were asst

VALLEY CHAMPS
WERE DEFEATED
Arthur Hill High an Alma
Victim at Basket Ball
Tournament.

The Alma high school basket ball
team made only a fair showing in the
basketbasket ball tournament at Mt.
Pleasant Normal the latter part Of
last week, winning from Arthur Hill
High Of Saginaw, Saginaw Valley
champions, on Thursday. by a score
Of 13 to in a game featured by an
air tight defense, but on Friday was
eliminated from further considera-
tion by taking a beating from Bay
City Eastern High, 20 to 10, team
which had previously in the season
been twice defeated by the Hillites.
Dope from comparative scores dur
ing the season indicated that If Alma
met Arthur Hill the Hillites would
90 down to defeat, and the dope ran
true. Mullins aggregation put up
wonderful defensive game against
the Saginaw Valley champs, CRUDE

game for the Orange and Black,
breaking through the defense of the
Hillites three different times for
field baskets, and to those were add
ed one each by Anderson and Elias,
making five field counters TO the
one that the Valley champs secured.
I'm the first half neither team was
able to get its offensive work started
the Arthur Hill aggregation and the
local team scoring just three points
each. In the second half the Alma
steamroller started its offensive
work, while the defense held the
Hillites to two points, Alma scoring
ten.
The Hillites played remarkably
clean game, only three fouls being
called on them, all Of which Elias
netted. Eleven times the members OF

HOLD OPENING
Robinson Store Held Opening Last
Thursday and Friday.

The annual spring opening Of the
ID. w. Robinson stores was held on
Thursday and Friday evenings of
last week, and Friday evenings Of
crowd Of people from Alma and Vi
cinity.
A stage twenty feet long was it
ted up in manner that would equal
most Of the small theatres, some fine
lighting effects being used for the
bitter display of the goods
The models were chosen from
among the various girls Of the city
because of their individual fitness
for each garment that was shown.
The millinery was one Of the rea
features and all trimmed hats were
from the Robinson workrooms. Much
interest also centered in the showing
Of the sport clothes, the brilliant
colors lending much to the occasion.
one of the most interesting fea
lures of the occasion was the kiddies
clothes, which were shown by eight
children, ranging in age from 3 TO
IA years. Their childish but inter
esting and graceful dancing was
much appreciated.
Each night the house was packed
and the crowds waited in the streets
for the next performance. There
were four reviews and each Of them
began promptly.

The accompanying sketch and
floor plan of the proposed memorial
gymnasium and auditorium, for
which $4,000 is eing sought in the
endowment campaign of Alma col
iege in Gratiot county gives only a
very meager idea of the fine struc-
ture that the college authorities
hope to have constructed on the
campus, as a permanent living me-
mortal TO the men from Gratiot
and Alma College who gave their
services to their country during the
great World War.
Not only will the building have a
large gymnasium, the playing floor
being 60X9O feet, and surrounded by
numerous seats for spectators, but
will also furnish "a large auditorium,
made by the use Of the gymnasium,
the stage, and running track or
balcony, which however does not
show in the floor plan, as it will
overhang the seats on the floor. The
installation of seats will give an
auditorium with a seating capacity
of 1900
To the rear Of the stage will be
found the natatorium, 30 by 50 feet,
which will contain a swimming pool
20 by 90 feet.
On one side Of the gymnasium
floor will be located the physical di-
rectors' room, a room for the visiting
team, room for the home team,
etc, while on the opposite side will
be located the dressing room, shower
baths, etc, for the girls.
The floor plan indicates how COM
plete a gymnasium, and auditorium,
the proposed structure will be, and
to the many and varied uses that
such place can be used for, not
only TO the great advantage of Alma
College but to the city Of Alma and
to Gratiot county people, who will
find it available for conventions,
mass meetings, etc.

NEW DEPOT
Chances Are That New Structure
Will BE Built Soon.

Representative Of the A ! m a
Chamber Of Commerce and the City
Commission, who We're in Saginaw
Friday interviewing w. X. Wallace,
district manager Of the Pere Mar
quette Railroad, feel certain that in
the very near future Alma will have
new depot to replace the present
structure which has been in use here
for upwards Of a score Of years, and
which for the past several years has
been inadequate in every respect.
Following a discussion of the
proposition Mr. Wallace assured the
Alma delegation that his co-opera-
tion would be given in this matter as
soon as business conditions picked
up to a sufficient extent to warrant
such action.
