ARREST THREE I'm.
DER PROVISIONS OF
ORDNANCE NO. |
MAYOR WASHBURN HAND IS
STRONG TALK TO MEN WHO
ACCOSTED YOUNG GIRLS

While Ordinance No. 1 of the City
of Belding was enacted into law in
1914 it is still alive and has lot of
sharp teeth in it yet if the men
charged with administering the
affairs connected with the peace,
quiet and safety of the city choose
to put it into effect At least that
is undoubtedly what two men who
were brought up before Judge Lap
ham think and that is perhaps what
caused another to make fugitive
from justice out of himself when he
learned that he was to be arrested
and arranged under the provisions
of the ordinance.
Special Officer Cook apprehended
Vern and Russell Mckinney, men
living west of G.eenville, on the
street Sunday night and told them to
appear in court here Monday morn
ing, which they did. The ordinance
was hunted up and the men were
arranged on the disorderly charge
and also charged with accosting
several women on the walks and
asking them to go for a ride in their
automobile Mayor Fred A. Wash
burn happened to be in court when
the young men appeared and what
he told them of their past and fut-
ure conduct in Belding was aplenty.
The mayor said that he had sons of
his own who were older than the
men to whom he was talking, but
that if he ever heard of either one
of his sons conducting himself as
they had done, he would take them
out and give them a padding and
added that instead of a shingle
being used, they would come into
contact with something of the ma
ture of a good sound oak barrel
stave.
The men were assessed each a
fine of $500 and costs of $4.35.
John Whitlock, of Ionia, was also
arrested on a charge of being dis
orderly and promised to appear
here Monday morning but failed to
keep his promise and Mayor Wash
burn ordered the officer to get him.
M. Cook went to Ionia but owing
to the rainstorm which was taking
place at the time, he left the man
for Sheriff Hoppough to bring up
Tuesday afternoon. When the
Sheriff went to get Whitlock, the
latter had disappeared and has as
yet not been rounded up. He stated
that he would fight the case when
arranged. This is the second time
that Whitlock has figured in local
trouble, the Other occasion being
when he attempted to beat up
Nightwatchman Frank Antcliff
when the officer went to arrest him
on a drunk charge Whitlock is a
pugilist and has appeared before the
Ionia and elsewhere fight fans on
numerous occasions. At that time
Nightwatchman Antcliff had just
got around from a seige with a brok-
en- leg and Whitlock was having il
all his own way when several men
interferred and pulled him off and
assisted the officer in placing him
in the local Jail.
Mayo Washburn was wrathful
over the actions of the three men
and said that in the future such
conduct would be stopped and that
so long as he had anything to say
about it, it would be safe for any
young lady or woman of this city to
pass up and down the streets with
out being accosted by stranger.

Started New Milk Line

Snow & Krick is the name of the
new milk dealers who started up
their route in this city on Monday
morning. Albert Snow is the senior
member Of the firm and is an old
hand at the business, having at two
times previous delivered milk to the
public here. That was in the old days
and the methods at that time were
somewhat primitive and different
than at present. Mr.. Snow used to
make two trips into the city and
carried the lacteal fluid in a large
pail and dipped the quantity pur-
chased out of the pail and measured
it into quart, pint and half pints as
required by the user. After being
in the business the first time he sold
out his equipment to Homer Angel,
who operated it for some time. About
twenty years ago, Mr.. Snow again
started up, taking his son. Burt.
in with him and they operated
here for about three years. The
present firm is composed of Mr..
Snow and his son-in-law, William
Krick, a we'll known farmer living
southeast of the city. They are
starting up with the intention Of con-
tinuing int he business and have a
fine herd of mixed Holsteins as the
producing source of their milk sup
ply.

Washington, July 9.-Manufactur
ing sites and other Vermont property
OF great value situated on the west
bank Of the Connecticut river are In
VOWED in a century old controversy
just now revived between the
states of Vermont and New Hampshire
over the boundary line between these
sister commOnwealths. Hon. John G..
Sargent, Of Vermont and Hon Joseph
s. Matthews OF New Hampshire, late'y
appeared before the highest judicial
tribunal IN the land, the United States
Supreme court and took certain legal
steps calculated to bring this long
slumbering dispute into activity once
more.
Preliminaries to settlement of the
boundary question by the Supreme
court were undertaken back In 1915
and 1916, but for some reason not dis
closed the action was permitted to
rest there after few normal PRO.
