G6 Gream,
Seeley vs. DeGez. '
Our readers will remember that some
time ago Tommy DeGez had a trial io
the U.S. district court at Bay Oity. It
seems that Tommy conferred with
Lawyer (?) Seeley of Vernon, and desired him to interview the Judge at
Bay Oitv in his behalf. This, Lawyer
Seeley agreed to do, In the meantime
Mr. De_}ez made arrangements to secure other assistance, but did not
notify the lawyer (?) first mentioned.
When the'day to go to Bay Oity arrived, Mr. Seeley put in' an appearance,
but defendant informed him that his
services were not wanted. Mr. Seeley
went along anyway, and when said defendant refused to pay him for his seryices, sued him for $9 damages, and
the case was tried Wednesday in Justice Carpenter's court, complainant
and defendant acting as their own attorneys. It is said that the proceedings of these two parties in the case
more than rivaled the wrangling
which those of the female gender are
said to sometimes indulge In over the
back fence.
The trial was by jury and the outcome was that It was thought but just
that Lawyer Seeley sbould receive pay
for services up to the time he was told
to quit and that was the morning that
the defendant went to Bay Oity. The
case cost Mr. DeGez $10.33, tbe complainant receiving $2 of this amount.
Both parties went awaysatis_,ed5and
calling sweet uame.. One was glad
because the other was beaten and
the other was glad because;complian-
antonly got $2,
by pint, quart or in larger quantities?.

The Street Sprinkler.
Several of llie iepresentative citizens called on tbe council, Tuesday
evening, and asked that honorable
body to grant free water for a street
sprinkler to be placed on the street
the coming hot season. The matter
was dicussed pro and con and finally
ended by the council selecting the fl.ro
department comm'ttee to confer with
the water board in regard to the matter.
It seems but just that the request
of the businessmen should be granted.
As Mayor Rorison says: The bulk of
the taxes of this city are raised by the
men who have atked for this free
water and further, McEwan street has
not had a cent laid out on it for improvement for a dozen years. The
only good objection that can be made
against, granting the request is that
the water supply may run short, but
that will not now be the case we are
told, as with the irni r,> vements which
have'been made in tlie creek the supply will be sufficient.
Another good reason why the request of the business men should be
granted: In the hot, dry season the
great clouds of dust which raise are a
great menace to the public health as
in this dirt disease-breeding germs
thrive as nowhere else. Cool, healthful streets would be a blessing to all,
If the water board aud fire department committee forbid the free water,
they do that which not enriches them,
and makes the public poor indeed.
By all means let us have the street
sprinkler.
Our City Park.
The city nark commissou, at tlie
special meeting of the council, Tuesday evening, submitted to that body
a detailed report of the exact condition of the park showing the amounti of
money which had been expended, the
labor, number of trees planted, etc.,
and petitioned the council to grant
them $100 for park improvement this
year. The park commission would
rather have had $150 but appreciating
the financial condition of the city,
only asked for the amount stated,
which was granted. With this
amount of money and what they hope
to raise from other channels, the commission will have the park taken care
of in a proper manner this summer, in
fact, Mr. Reed, who looked after the
paik so well last year, was put to work
Wednesday morning, and the commissioner will this fall set out about 75
more trees, besides considerable shrubbery.
One year ago last Arbor Day the
citizens of the town set. out 175 trees,
and today there are 150 line, hardy
trees growing and with the care
which they will receive this summer,
will thrive.
If you can help the park along,
help it. 'Twill surely be "a thing of
beauty and joy forever."
Fair Warning.
I desire to call tbo attention of bicyclists of the city and vicinity to the
ordinance forbidding the riding of bicycles on sidewalks on certain streets,
in the city. The ordinance has been
violated quite frequently and complaints haye been made regarding the
matter. 1 have personally interviewed some riders and they have .olitely
regarded the request to obey the law
while others continue to ride on the
forbidden district. Now, take notice
that on and after Monday, May 24th,
1897, complaint will be entered against
all persons wbo may be found violating such ordinance.

The editor of the Sentinel has

O- S. Derby has placed a new bicycle
rack in front of his store for the convenience of bicyclists.
Most every day one may read that
some bicycle club is about to build a
bicycle path or track. Wc need one of
those here.
The Saginaw Courier Herald, of last
Sunday, gave a number of routes from
Saginaw to various towns and cities
surrounding.
A good number of new wheels have
been sold in this city and vicinity.
Prospects are that more will be sold
during the summer.
The Anderson bicycle baggage law
compelling the railroads of the state
to carry bicycles as baggage has passed the Michigan legislature, and
signed by the Hon. Gov. Pingree. It
takes effect during July.
A bill was made in the House of
Representatives taxing bicycles, but
was defeated. The purpose of the
bill was to raise money for the construction of bicycle paths. Thecounty
board of supervisors was to determine
the amount of tax, -vbich was to be
between 50 cents and $1 on each wheel
and to appoint three commissioners
to collect tbe tax and to build paths.

Great Sprinting Match.
From Saginaw T_.vening News: The
Glare Sentinel, in its last issue, says
that its right bower went fishing recently and haying taken a good deal
of bait along saw what he believed
was the mythical airship. He says
thai as it came nearer the ground he
noticed that it closely resembled the
human form, only its motions were so
rapid the eye could not follow them.
At times it would appear to leave the
earth and sail through space at the
ratp of about GO miles an hour. The
Sentinel man hid behind a stumn
and as it came down the home stretch
he found it was "Tip" Gal kins with
hi_ training suit on, fitting himself
for his coming race with Seth Davis,
of Saginaw, for a purse of $20, Are-,
men's field day. June 16.
Mr. Davis has no cull lumber in his
composition and did not feel any
tremor when he read of the astonishing speed of the Clare sprinter. He
says be is a grounder and never leaves
mother earth for any air line run, but
he has recently come into pDssessioti'
of the original oriental rug, mention
of which has been made in that wonderful collection of Eastern tales, the
Arabian Nights, in which all the
traveler against time has to do is to
sit down on the rug. wish himself in
any particular place, and he is there
"presto change" almost before the
wish has formed in his mind. Mr.
Davis believes he is now invincible
and even electricity has no show with
him.	
A Speeding Boulevard.
At the special mectingof the council
last Tuesday evening, the horsemen
of the city petitioned the council to
grant them the useof Wheaton avenue,
from McEwan street west. After consideration, the council decided to
grant the request of the petitioners.
Wheaton avenue runs directly in front
of the ball ground, and the horsemen
will at once commence to grade and
gravel the street and ere long will have
a course nearly half a .mile lontr, in
fact 'twill be a good half mile if the
track is extended to take in the pole
yard.
This speeding boulevard will indirectly be a benefit to the whole city,
as the horsemen will, at their own expense, put the avenue in line condition.
A local horsemen's association will
probably be organized this week.
