died. He was six months old
then and the family took resi-
dence on Macomb street on the
site of the present Priehs Motor

called the Mount Clemens Of

site of Pete Benoits Tavern on

Jake for IA years"
After that, various other en-
terprizes occupied his attention

Reaches Court

= Considerable interest today
attached to a case before Judge
James E. Spier in Circuit Court
involving the Macomb County
Department of Social Welfare
W. James Mccoy. whose wife
received county aid for hos
pitalization from Feb. 20 to
March Is, 1910.
The Welfare office entered
suit under the statute provid-
ing that the Welfare can col
lect from any relative who Is
legally responsible for the nee
essities of the persons aided.
Many cases of this nature
have been settled in justice
court, but this is the first one
to reach the Circuit bench. 1t
was appealed after the Welfare
secured a favorable judgment
against Mccoy some time ago
before Justice Donald j. Par
rent.
Judge Spier granted a two
weeks extension yesterday to
permit the defense to file q
brief on the point advanced
that the County must show the
party sued has property and Is
able to pay.

to hit the ball out of the ball
