Wa B. Hobson, formerly of Vernon
township, now of Frankfort and under sheriff of Benzie county, shot and
killed a man by the name of Charles
Howlaud. The killing was first reported here about two or three weeks
ago. The jury in the case has since
decided that the shooting was entirely
in self defense. Howland was crazy
and made a most savage attack on
Hobson, who shot tbe man only as a
hist resort, as he was attempting to
take him in charge.
The residence of Chas.Buell. on west
2d street in tlie flrst ward, was totally
destroyed by fire between Sand 7 o'clock
Wednesday morning of this week. The
Are originated in the attic, probably
from a defective chimney. Nearly all
of the household effects were saved.
Mr. Buell had been insured in the
Wolverine of Saginaw, but on learning that the company was not reliable,
dropped tho insurance and there was
none on the property at the time of
the d re. The loss is a severe one to
Mr. and Mrs. Buell at the present time.
They are now occupying the Geo. Robinson house just opposite their destroyed home,
The movement on foot among several of the local sportsmen is for the
organization of a trap-shooting club
instead of a hunting club, as has been
stated. We are glad to note this, as
it is certainly a great crime against
nature to slay innocent birds, as they
are of untold value in destroying insects, thus saving the farmer.*' crops,
As much sport, and more satisfying,
can be obtained from trap-shooting,
than from slaying the beautiful songsters, as many of these .birds, would
undoubtedly be destroyed, anci would
be of no value whatever, when dead,
e.\*cept in the "count." Killing game
for the table is far different than killing innocent creatures just for the fun
of killing. Here's to the success of
the trap-shooting club.
That Flouring Mill.
No town the size of Clare should be
without a first-class flouring mill. It
is a necessary adjunct to the progress
of any town, hamlet, village or city,
and without such an institution the
business interests of the place are laboring at a great disadvantage. Not only
does the business and manufacturing
in'Tostssuffer, hut the farmer like-
wi_t_-and in more •.mj- than one. As
competition is the life of trade, it is
necessary to have a first-class grist
mill which will need grain, thus bringing it into competition with grain buyers. In this we do not wish to create
the impression that the buyers are not
paying the market price for grain, but
■it will have a tendency to encourage
the farmer to endeavor to raise a better quality. In this way the grain
buyers will be enabled to pay a higher
price, and, the mill in turn, produce a
better grade of flour.
Then, too, we must look still further
ihead. We cannot hope to see our
county rapidly settled without a grist
mill, as a prospective settler generally
looks first at the educational facilities
then to the market for bis produce.
It is not to be expected, however,
that borne consumption will keep the
mill going, neither would a miller who
thoroughly understands his business,
expect it, but, on the other hand, his
aim would be to produce a grade of
flour that would demand the highest
price in the adjacent towns and cities.
To do this he must have the combined
effort of farmer and merchant—the
farmer in the raising of a number one
quality of wheat and the merchant in
handling the best grade of flour. By
so doing all,are benefitted, money is
kept in circulation and the dread of
long trips to neighboring towns is
done away with.   .

In Dreamless Peace She Sleeps.
Nina, beloved wife o'f John Doherty,
died at her home in Coleman, Wednesday, Feb, 23, 1898. Nina Spring was
her maiden name and she was born in
Olare 26 years ..go next 4th of July.
She was married two years ago the
5th of next August to John Doherty.
A b;iby. was born to them Dec. H,
1897, and died the morning of the
same day on which the motb,er passed
away.
For the past several months Mrs.
Doherty had been suffering from that
insidious disease, consumption, which
quickly consumed the_ vitality of a
form only too fragile.
Mrs, Doherty bad many warm and
sincere friends wherever she was
known and it is inexpressibly sad that
a life so fraught with activity and useful purposes, should have so early ended, but nature has ordained that
"buds and bloss'oms fall with ripened
fruit, and in the common bed of
mother earth, patriarchs and babes
sleep side by side."
The remains will be brought from
Coleman tomorrow, (Saturday) morning, and the funeral services Held in
the Vernon Catholic church, the remains to be interred in the cemetery
near by. .
. To the grief-s.ricken*husbahd)motl_-
erand brothers, the Sincerest sympathy
is extended.
