Law Firm of Chandler
and Friegel Formed

Albert Chandler and Gustav F..
Friegal have become associated in
the practice of law in Owosso and
will have Offices in the Miner build
ing where Mr.. Chandler now has his
office.
The combination of these two men
in the law profession is one of two
old and experienced lawyers and
should make a combination of promi-
nence. Mr.. Chandler has practiced
here for long time and recently
gained considerable publicity through
his successful defense of Forrest Hig-
gins on trial for murder. Mr.. Frie-
gal has been justice of the peace
here for twelve years and only this
spring was he succeeded by r. S. Day.
His record as justice and in his prac-
tice during the time of his incum-
bency in that Office have given him
a broad experience in legal matters.

Injunction Halts Work on
Owosso-Corunna Pavement

The trouble between the Dubois
Construction company, which is build
ing the pavement in Owosso and Cor
unna, and Mcdonnell Brothers, ex-
cavating contractors, has broken out
finally, in circuit court.
The Mcdonnell brothers Tuesday
night filed suit for an accounting
and secured a temporary INDUCTION
restraing the Dubois company from
preventing Mcdonnell from complet-
ing the excavating work.
The plaintiffs claim that they have
not received their money at the stip-
ulated times, when estimates were
filed, and that the defendants are
now several thousand dollars in
arrears in their payments. They
also claim that the Dubois company
is threatening to prevent them from
continuing with the work. If this
was done, the plaintiffs allege, they
would lose money on their contract,
as they have already done the hard
est part of the work. They also
claim that another contracting firm
has been secured to go ahead with
the work.

Accidents Spoil Weekend
of Racing for Bob Wilcox

Bob Wilcox, still state champion
Ford driver, had a weekend of acci-
dents last Saturday and Sunday but
nevertheless was not entirely unsuc-
cessful in his races, winning the ones,
the loss of which would have robbed
him of his championship.
Saturday, at Bay City, he tied with
Heubner in the time trials at 35 2/5
seconds, but lost in the final. In the
free-for-all Wilcox lost hind wheel
and so was out of the race, which was
won by Dudak.
At Cass City on Sunday, the bad
luck began in the elimination trials,
when Bob was run into twice by the
same man, Stevens, whose car be-
came unmanageable after the first
collision and swerved and hit Bob's
car again. Both cars were consider
ably damaged, but Bob was able to
repair his so that he could get into the
Ford race which he won over Heub-
ner, the old rivals running close all
through the race with Heubner lead
ing all the way, until the last lap
when Bob won by the length of his
hood.

0 Owosso Man Makes Violin
Valued at $40, 900; Takes
Year to Complete Work

A violin valued by the maker at
$4,000 has been finished and put
on exhibition in Lansing by Guy w.
Palmer, 720 East Oliver street. Com
pletion of the violin marks the end
of years work by Mr.. Palmer and
is the fifteenth instrument he has
made since he was IL years old.
= The completion of the instrument
is the climax of 13 years of violin
making on the part of Mr.. Palmer
and is claimed by him to be the best
he has yet made. He has had as his
ideal, violin as near perfect as pos
sible and the one just completed is
the one he has been aiming toward
for years, he says. He believes it is
worth $4,000, for it's perfection in
detail and form and the minute at
tention it has received gives the in
strument a tone and ability to i'm
prove with use that is never found
in cheaper instrument.

TELLS OF THEFT AND
, RETURN OF SECURITIES
$4,000 RETURNED TO HEN.
DRRSON MAN

The story of the theft and the re-
turn of bonds and securities valued
at nearly $4,000 which were the
property of E. E. Bunting of Hen
derson has just been made public.
The theft of the bonds took place
some three months ago but the an
nouncement of it was not made un-
til last week by the sheriff.
The mention of the fact that none
of the bonds could be cashed without
the thief being recognized was made
and that one person in particular
was being watched are thought to
account for the fact that the bonds
were returned the day after the pub
licity was given to the theft. 1t is
thought that the thief finding he
would be apprehended if he tried to
cash in on the $3.50 worth of the
bonds that were negotiable returned
them. 1t is believed they were put
in Mr.. Bunting's granary because it
was the easiest place to put them
where they would be sure to be found.

OWOSSO STAGES
ORGY OF BATTING
Routs Stockbridge ii to 1,
Fowlerville, 10 to6

Owosso Independents staged two
batting tests last weekend when they
clouted the celebrated Stockbridge
aggregation for IA to victory and
defeated the somewhat better Fow-
lerville team by 10 to 6 score.
Saturdays game gave promise of
being a real contest until the sixth
when the score was still one apiece.
However, Liverance, the star hurler
for the University of Michigan this
spring, who was tossing for the visi-
tors, grew discouraged by having to
play the whole game and hampered
by miserable support, let in six runs
in the sixth. The contest was un-
interesting the rest of the game ex-
cept as it gave the Owosso men some
batting practice.
Fowlerville made it interesting
Sunday throughout the game by a
score close enough to make it nee
essary to keep up close work and
not close enough to make a squirt
necessary. Decatur started but had
to leave the mound in the seventh
because of an injured arm gained in
a collision when he and Shaw collided.
Curtis and York also collided during
the game when they both went after
the same fly and several bruises re-
suited.

WANTS DAIRY HERDS
TUBERCULIN TESTED
FARM BUREAU SEEKS TO
REACH ALL CATTLE

Efforts are being made by the farm
bureau to carry out it's program for
this fall of having all dairy herds in
the county tuberculin tested. An ap-
preparation from the Board of Su-
pervisors is being sought by the bu-
reau to aid in carrying out the
program.
Examination of the herds of the
county has been carried on for some
time by DR.. Britton, federal veter-
marian, and several of the larger
herds of the county have been tested,
with results showing that the major
ity are in good condition although a
few have been found tuberculin in
every herd.
The state pays part of the loss on
every condemned animal and the fed
eral government pays an additional
part of the loss so the final cost to
the farmer is not nearly as large as
if he were to bear the whole loss.
Owosso now has an ordinance for
bidding the sale of milk from cows
not tuberculin tested which is to go
into rigid effect before long and it
is urged by the farm bureau that all
who sell milk in the city have their
cows tested Immediately not only as
a matter of health but also as a mat
ter of business.

PLAN HISTORICAL
PAGEANT SEPT. 8
Episcopal Church to Show
American Periods

Plans for an historical pageant
and charity ball to be given by the
choir and altar guild of the Epis-
copal church have been progressing
for several weeks and are now rap
idly nearing completion. The page
ant and ball is to be held at the ar
mory the evening of Thursday, Sep
tember 8.
Representations of all the periods
of American history are to be repre-
sented in the pageant and chairmen
of the different periods are getting
together their costumes and models
to represent the distinguished people
and, types of the times. The original
American Indians will dance and sing
at the pageant and from the presen-
tation of early people and scenes by
the D. A. R. down to representation
of the American Legion of the late
war every period will be represented.
Due to the absence of many of the
people who are to participate in the
work of the pageant many of the
chairmen have not been definitely
appointed and some of the work is
not yet started, Mrs. d. E. Crane,
the chairman, announces. However,
many are at work and it is expected
that all plans will be completed a
week before the actual staging. Some
of the period costumes have been
found to be difficult to obtain and
the chairman has urged that those
who know of some call her on the
phone or bring them to her.

Club Ranks Second in d. s

East Lansing, Aug. 25.-With an
enrolment of nearly 10000 in Boys
and Girls Club work, Michigan ranks
second in the entire northern half of
the United States. Statistics for

partment of Agriculture, show In
diana in the lead, with this state
close second.
Michigan stands first in two i'm
portant phases of the club program
-handicraft work and hot lunch pre-
paration; while in three others-gar-
dening, canning, and garment max
ing, the Wolverine youth take sec
ond place among the 33 northern
and western states.
Of the 9,919 members enrolled in
the state, 2,491 are entered in Wayne
county, Detroit's large garden clubs
boosting the number up. Other,
counties where club work is espe-
cially strong are Kent, Bay, Calhoun,
Gogebic and Lenawee, although the
club program (Which is the junior ex-
tension work at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College) covers the entire
state.
Garden clubs have proved far and
away the most popular during the

Two health booths in charge of the
Kings Daughters and the Michigan
Health department have attracted much
attention through their work in staging
q crusade among the school children of
the state for better health. The Kings
Daughters are the representatives In
this county for the state health depart
ment. During the last four years more
than 40, 900 school children in the state
have been enrolled in the crusade and
are being taught the elements OF prac.
ticing and keeping good health, while
the number is expected to be doubled
this year.
Other exhibits in the Floral hall give
evidence of an attempt to make the
exhibits of an even higher order than
been put on before and the booths show
q variety of interesting articles we'll
exhibited. Space in the Floral hall this
year was gone long before the closing Of
time for the entries and the waiting list
was larger ths ever before. The list of
outdoor exhibits was about as usual.
More space is evidently need for the
Floral hall, and it has become striking
~ clear what remarkable growth the

ment in the short space of time it has
been in existence.
Amusements this year exceed in
quantity those of last year The usual
varieties of shows are in evidence aud
the usual collection Of good shows and
poor shows are there.
Free shows this year have been called
the best yet put on at the Fair. Every
day an exhibition of some kind is put
on before the grand stand, and the fire.
