loss.
We were permitted to read a letter
recently received by A. Thurston from
Samuel Shipp, father of the boy who
was killed by the cars at the depot recently, and this letter dispelled all
doubt as to bis son's being a genuine
"hobo." The father expressed highest gratitude to Mr. Thurston and all
who in any way assisted in having the
remains of bis son sent home. He
sud the boy had no bad habits and
never before this time had he disobeyed his parents. Also that the boy
left home with enough money to pay
his fare, but was influenced by the
fellow who was his companion on the
trip, and doubtless paid both fares as
far as the money wuuld take them.
While working in the stave shed
last Saturday a pile of staves fell upon
Frank Lewis resulting in the fracturing of the left leg above the ankle in
two places. Dr. Reeder was summoned and reduced the fractures.
Shortly after the boy's leg had been
attended to he was lying on a sofa
heavily fringed talking to his brother-
in-law. The latter attempted to light
his cigar when the ignited head of one
of those parlor matches flew off catching into the fringe. The couch was almost instantaneously enveloped in
flames. The boy was rescued and the
fire extinguished, but not' until the
couch, curtains, carpets, etc., had
been entirely consumed or badly damaged. Frank's mother, Mrs. Lewis of
Midland, arrived Monday.
Pursuant to a call, the representative business jmen met at A. J. Lacy's
law office Monday evening and discussed the matter of haying another
lecture course. Tbe matter was freely
talked over and points suggested
which willbe considered in arranging
the next course. The difficulty encountered in arranging the'course last
year was that the matter was not
considered soon enough to allow the
committee sufficient time to make the
selections. So the fact that the matter is already under consideration has
alleviated this Sifficulty. Clare never
had a better lecture course than last
year, and there is no reason why we
cannot have a still better course the
coming year. We have attained to
that stage of intellectual growth
which makes our people feel that a
good lecture course is indispensible.
The committee elected are: 111. G.
Welch, chairman, A. J. Lacy, Supt.
Philip A. Bennett, S, O. Kirkbride
and J. F. Tatman. Anv member of
the committee^ will be glad for any
suggestions which if carried out wiil
aid in making the course better.
The chairman calls a meeting of tbe
committee at the Sentinel office at'
7;30 p, m. on Monday evening, May 7tb,
