Spaleny, Ben Svarc, James Lotomsky

mitted to citizenship after question
ing by a federal examiner proved
them to be qualified. The petitions
of Arthur and Henry Roussin of Du-
rand, were held up temporarily. The

James Vacek, John Vrlac, Paul Mes,
Frank Sarnik, Joseph Willworth,
John Ivan, Louis Zbinden, John
Kuchar, Joseph Kurka, Lewis Stoud-

After admitting the new citizens,
Judge Collins impressed upon them
the high honor which he was conferr-

leges of citizenship, there were also
duties which they must fulfill. The
first Of these, he said, was that they
be law-abiding citizens.

Greek Marries-Rut Not
Until After Jail Threat

After refusing to marry his com
mon law wife with whom he had been
living for several years, Christ Kato-
polls and Mrs. Jennie Kokares were
married in justice court Friday after
noon after .Sergt. Paul Kutter of the
state police had given him 4S hours
to be married or jailed.
Katapolis has been going under the
name of Roy Miller, according to
Sergt. Kutter. The woman has told
the officers that he has promised re-
peatedly to marry her, but never did.
She said he wanted her to give him
permission for him to go out with
young American girls, before he
would marry her. This she refused.
This morning Mrs. Katapolis ap-
peared at police headquarters and
told the officers that her husband had
declined to provide breakfast for her
and their children. She was directed
to the prosecutors office, where she
was told that Katapolis would be
forced to care for his family.
Katapolis came to the attention of
Sergt. Kutter Friday when Katapolis,
who is a restaurant cook, started &c
back Ford car away from the curb
in Main street and showed such in
experience that Kutter's attention
was attracted.
Questioning by Kutter brought
from Katapolis an admission that he
was not married to the woman with
whom he was living, whom he had
brought to Michigan from Chicago.
He was given 48 hours in which to
marry the woman, and after promis-
ing to do so, baked. Kutter then

COMMISSION BANS
FRAME BUILDINGS
Row Over Restaurant Struct-
ure Ends in Edict

Erection of frame buildings within
the city fire limits will be strictly for
hidden in the future, according to a
decision by the City Commission on
Monday night followingn a discussion
OF the legitimacy of allowing frame
buildings covered with tin.
The matter was brought up Tues
day night when Fred Gkonos, one of
the owners of the Paris cafe, appear
ed before the commission for an in
depreciation of the ordinance. He
said he and his partners had built a
frame building in the rear of their
place OF business, after Chief Howell
OF the fire department had told them
they could do so, by covering it with
tin. After the building had been put
up, he said he was informed that it
could not remain. He said he want
ed to know what to do.
Mayor Wright declared against per-
mitting the building to stand, assert
ing that it was a violation of the
ordinance. However, his attention
was called by Commissioner Stebbins
to the fact that Wright himself, had
built small addition to the city hall,
of frame construction and had COW
cred it with tin within the last two
years, and further that C. A. Law
renee and Harry Walsh had built sim
liar structures within stones throw Of
the building back of the Paris. and
nothing had been said about it.
Wright answered that Commission
er Rosevear had told him that he
could do it. 81 thought you knew.
You have been with the city longer
than have" the mayor said.
oRsevear declared that City At
torney Pond had told him during the
afternoon that the ordinance permit
ted building wooden buildings in the
fire limits, if they were covered with
tin. The ordinance was looked up
and found to absolutely prohibit
building of such structures, even
though they were covered with tin.
= The mayor again asserted his op-
position to allowing the Paris owners
W SicSt Ihe uuiiuilB, ana Wnen tOlQ
that the building was up, ready for
the tin, he declared that it ought to
be torn down and be rebuilt with
brick or concrete blocks.
The commission finally decided To
permit the Paris owners to cover
their building with tin, but instruct
ed the clerk to issue no more permits
for wooden buildings within the fire
limits.
The contract for the materials for
the extension of the boulevard light
system on Washington street, from
Mason to Oliver streets, was awarded
to the F. Bissel Co. of Toledo, at

of the job, including labor, is $2,O22.

Gets Husband Jailed;
Elopes With Another

When she wanted to get rid of her
husband, Eugene Kasor, Mrs. Kasor,
who lived at the time with him on
their farm in Caledonia township, let
a man get him drunk, arrested and
sent 20 Jail, and then ran off with
the man, according to charges of
Prosecuting Attorney r. d. Matthews
and w. ]. Parker of Corunna, attor-
ney for Kasor. They call it the most
outrageous frame-up they have ever
seen.
Kasor was arrested last spring,
pleaded guilty in Justice Nichols
court and was sentenced to serve 80
days in the county Jail. After he
had been in Jail ten days, he appeal
ed to the circuit court.
Since then, it has developed, the
prosecutor told the court, that the
whole thing was the result of a
frame-up by Kasor's wife to get rid
of him that she might run away with
a neighbor. When the frame-up fail
ed, she ran away anyway, and is still
missing. Matthews said, Kasor later
swore to warrant for the arrest OF
his wife and her paramour.
Matthews said that he found that
Mrs. Kasor and the man with whom
she later ran away, got Kasor intoxi-
Gated, and then she got him to drive
her somewhere, while her admirer
called the sheriff's office. Kasor was
drunk when found and was arrested.
After Kasor had appealed the case
and obtained his release, on bond,
his wife, the prosecutor told the
court. got him to go into circuit court
and plead guilty, by telling him that
she would stand by him. She thought,
Matthews said, that Kasor would i'm
mediately be sent to Jail, but when
sentence was deferred, she left any
way with her lover, taking all her hus-
bands money, many of his clothes,
and his trunk. The trunk was later
found at Alma, but no one eevr call
ed for it.
Attorney Parker, representing
Kasor, told the court that it was the
"most outrageous frame-up that ever
came to my notice."
Judge Collins told Kasor to come
back later.

Paris and Boston Cafe
Owners Row Over Fence

OWnerS OF the ParlS and Boston
eating houses have brought their
troubles to court and the ill-feeling
between them has been brought to a
head by the building of high board
fence. Gus Throborobunos and Fred
Gkonos and George Gkonos, are the
owners Of the Paris, and Louis and
Charles Fontanikes are owners of the
Boston.
The owners of the Paris own the
land in the rear of their place, while
the building occupied by the Boston
cafe backs up to it. The plaintiffs
allege that the defendants, jealous of
the success Of the Boston cafe, have
erected board fence, 10 feet high
on the north line of their property,
shutting out light and ventilation
from the Boston cafe. They asked
that the court rule that the fence
constitutes a nuisance and order it's
removal.
The plaintiffs also allege that in
building the fence, the defendants
broke dishes belonging to the plain
Glffs, and asked damages for this.
The plaintiffs attorney alleges that
the fence was built only for spite,
that it does the defendants no good
and is therefore nuisance. He says
that under the law, owner of prop
erty may build anything he wants to
on his own property providing it is
benefit to him, but that if it does not
serve a useful purpose and damages
others, it is nuisance.

FIRE DOES $4,000
DAMAGE SUNDAY
Barn and Crops of William
McAvoy Destroyed

Losses estimated at $4,000 were
sustained Sunday night by William
McAvoy, New Haven farmer, when
barn on his farm burned to the
ground. The origin of the blaze is
not known but the state police are
investigating on the theory that it
was of incendiary origin.
Mr.. McAvoy, however, believes that
it may have been due to spontaneous
combustion, explaining that there
were numerous leaks in the roof and
that the hay and straw in the barn
may have heated, after having been
wet, and taken fire.
The blaze was discovered by Nc
Avoy, who was returning from Six
Mile Creek, across his farm. His ar
rival at the barn was delayed several
minutes by the fact that an ugly bull
belonging to him, chased him and
forced him to take refuge behind a
large cement sap tank in his woods.
He finally eluded the bull, and rush
ed for the fence, getting there just
before the bull did. Throwing him.
self over the fence, he fell exhausted
to the ground, and asserts that while
he lay on the ground, he saw the fire
start in the cupola of the barn. BY
the time he reached the barn the
building was entirely in flames.
The blaze attracted large crowd
and bucket brigade was formed to
save the other buildings. They sue
ceeded, by heroic efforts in saving the
other structures, including another
barn not over ten feet from the barn
that was destroyed. 1t was badly
scorched, however, and took fire in
several places, but the flames were
extinguished. Burning embers were
also carried over the house and the
tool sheds, but volunteer firemen also
prevented those buildings from TAX
ing fire.
A call was put in for help from the
Owosso fire department, asking that
the pumper be sent out. Chief
Howell, however, declared that Mayor
Wright had given him orders not to
go more than half mile outside the
city limits, and refused to go.
The barn contained 450 bushels of
oats, and several tons of hay and
straw. About rs tons etaoin8, (zboc
straw. About rs hens roosting in the
barn were burned. The stock was
all out Of doors.
This is the third barn that McAvoy
has lost in the last few years, two
barns on another farm which he own
ed burning to the ground, with the
silo. McAvoy's silo was also Destroy
ed Sunday night. He had about
81 900 insurance on the barn burned
Sunday night.
