Last Saturday evening, B C. Wright,
a farmer living in JBeaverton township, Gladwin county, about 14 miles
from Glare, was shot anci instantly
killed. It was about eleven o'clock
in tbe evening when Mr, Wright was
awakened by an unusual noise, and
on going out to investigate found a
man jnliis ben house, Tbe trespasser,
finding be bad been discovered, beat a
slow retreat, but Mr. Wrigbt followed,
and be, together with his dog, were
making a hot pursuit when the thief
fired a shot from a double barreled
shotgun. Neither dog nor man received tbe charge, and Wright still
pursued j—but to meet his death. He
was within talking distance of the
thief wben the latter turned and fired
again. Wright dropped instantly, the
charge taking effect in the region of
tbeheartandlungs. IJis wife was present and saw her husband fall. He lay
where he fell till ten o'clock Sunday
rooming when the body was taken in
charge by a coroner's jury which had
been summoned. It was ascertained
that forty-one double B shot had
either lodged in, or passed through,
his body, three- having penetrated his
heart, so death must have been instant.
The funeral services were conducted
from tbe house Monday by Eev. De-
Long of Coleman, and tbe remains interred in the Coleman cemetery.
The verdict of the jury was that
Mr. Wright met bis death from the
discharge of a gun in the bands of an
unknown man.
Mr. Wright was considered the
peacemaker of tbe neighborhood, was'
treasurer of the school board and a
highly respected citizen. He owned a
forty-acre form and was in a fairly
prosperous condition, He was a member of good standing in tbe Order of
Foresters, and leaves a wife and three
small children.
Whether the shooting was done wilfully, or whether in i'ear of being detected, may never be known, but circumstances point to the former. It is
hoped that the matter may speedily
be brought to light and that justice
mav be meted out to the murderer.
Was that Dee  Lost Wednesday—Nearly
300 .Men and About 160 Teams Assisted in.the Grcntlmprovenient
Glare and Glare county have got the
most loyal, fraternal-feeiing set of citizens there are on earth. Ho exception. If there is to be any improvement for the publlcViod ui'l are ready
and willing to do their share. It is
not neccessary to cite the many public
improvements which have been
brought about at various times by
these public "Bees" in proof of this.
Early on Wednesday morning the
men and teams put in their appearance and before the rays of Old Sot bad
begun, to warm things up there was
quite a respectable peice ot hard road
made this side of the bridge. And
they kept Up their work, and the road
kept growing longer and longer, till
when thecufew rang, "or rather tbe 6
o'clock mill whistles blew, the road
north-east of town was clayed nearly
to the school building, while the road
directly north was in excellent shape.
It was quite a sight to see the men
and teams at their work—300 men and
160 teams can make things hum. The
wagons, one after the other, would
pass.through the clay cut without
stopping and when they had reached
the end would be loaded and on the
way to place of unloading.
The bee cost lots of hard work and
a snug sum of money, yet it was money and time well spent. To tell of the
benefits of good roads would take one
with the command of language .of
,i Webster.

Cycle Notes.
Miss Rorison has purchased a wheel.
One of the lady cyclists borrowed a
home trainer. Wonder if she is practicing for a famous bicycle rider.
The Grand opera house at Peoria,

blank in the program.
In the Bearing each week, the percentage of the races which each racer
has are put down on the thermometer
scale, providing they have won ten
races in the National Circuit. Cooper
of Detroit heads the list.
Bicycle firms in Canada are closing
up because the prices of United States
wheels are being reduced in price.
They cannot make a profit with such
prices.
The Columbia wheel, manufactured
by the Pope Manufacturing Co., has
been reduced from $100 to $75.
TSTexb year, the style of wheels will
be thechainless wheel.
The council of Chicago has passed
the following schedule of taxes on vehicles per year: Bicycles, $1; one
horse, $2; two horses, $3; three horses,
$5; four horses, $7; six horses, $10;
eight horses, $12. The ordinance,
which the mayor will probably sign,
will bring in about $1,000,000,000 per
year, which will be Used for the improvement of unpaved streets.
Longhead won a matched race with
Cooper Monday. Cooper fell in the
the ilrst heat.
Cooper, Bald atad Kiser are matched

•'From my experience and what 1
learned during my two weeks' visit in
Boston, I am convinced many of our
Michigan farmers are not cutting tbeir
hay early enougb, or curing it properly,''said Albert Todd, a well known
hay buyer, of Shiawassee county. "It
seems to be tbe universal custom to
cut timothy and clover when it is too
ripe. Michigan hay has the same
quality as that from western New
York and Canada. There they cut
earlier, and give more care in curing.
They say timothy should be cut just
as it is leaving the first blow. The
most of the Michigan baled hay received in Boston bas been cut after
the last bloom. Hcnoe it is too ripe
and the fibre breaks, We could ship
clover hay from Shiawassee county if
it was cut green enough. Wben cured
it should show the color of the bios
somr just a nice red. Therefore tbe
time to cut it is before the red color of
the blossom leaves, before it becomes
dead ripe. The farmers should use
more caution in not allowing the dew
to fall on the freshly cut hay. Dew is
worse than a rai-n storm. The extra
care bestowed on curing hay will pay
tbe farmers in the better prices they
will receive, and the more eager inquiries from buyers for Michigan bay.''
