STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE. '
contained  the
The Evart Bevlew
following last week:
Chippewa Lake, Mich., July 11.—Excitement and concern are manifested
in this section of Mecosta county over
circumstances which seem to point to
the perpetration of a murder. So
strong has become the suspicion, that
the sheriff and prosecuting attorney
hayebeen compelled to take cognizance of the case and an official investigation is now being conducted.
Last Sunday evening, John A. Nelson, commonly known as "Dell" Nelson, a farm hand employed by Thos.
Mlerton in Chippewa township, accompanied Miss Ellerton and a Miss
Bennett to the home of the latter.
Here Miss Ellerton left the couple and
went on to her home, a short distance
of a quarter of a mile.
The young man remained at Miss
Bennett?s for a short time and then
started for his home at Mr. Ellerton's.
No one has yet been found who has
seen him since that time.
,   It is shown that he had no money
\ with him, and it is not probable that
%$ithout means he would have undertaken a journey.   Other circumstances seem to point to the fact that a
•crime is responsible for his non-appearance at home.   There is another
jyoung man who is said to be jeaflous of
Nelson's attentions to one of the two
girls, but who has not been living in
this vicinity for some time.   On the
.same night on which Nelson disappeared, this young man  was seen in the
vicinity of the Ellerton and Bennett
residences and acting, as those thought
who saw him, in a strange manner.
He, too, has not been seen since and
search is being made both for him and
for Nelson.
Work on the new brick block is being
crowded along.   There is an incessant
hang of hammers early and late.   W.
H. Elden expects to move his goods
in from the old building next week as
he will not wait for new shelving.   It
will probably not be over two weeks
before Dayy & Oo.  move   into their
section of the  block.   R. M. Mussell
will come in. a little later as he is  al
ready well quartered and is not in so
great haste to move.

Eire in the old saw dust and logs
near the T. & A. A. track west of
Lister & Ort's mill, required the service of the fire department last week
and again this week. This piece of
ground becomes a menace to the city
every summer.
The musical entertainment by the
Schubert Symphony club at the opera
house Wednesday evening was highly
enjoyable. Seldom has a Clare audience heard its equal both in the vocal
and in the instrumental numbers.
The vocalization by Miss Knight was
remarkably fine and Master Tommy
Purcell is a little wonder.
It is the current rumor around the
local E. & P. M. office that work will
; begin next week on the new union
depot, on the old site. We hope this
is more than a rumor- as the public
has waited long and patiently for the
rebuilding of a union station.
Severe fires are running in the fields
andwoods two tofour miles south of
the city and much damage is being
done to fences, wheat in the shock and
to the woods. Several buildings have
narrowly escaped, and still greater
damage is feared. Fires are also running in various other points near here.
Eire has been burning in John Dunlop's fields for two months.   •
A cyclone struck Yernon City last
night. As a result the house formerly
occupied by Mrs. LeMain lies in ruins.
However it was no wind cyclone, nor
a very noisy one, for none of the near
neighbors admit having heard its visitation. Sometime during the darkness a crowd of men assembled and
tore the building entirely down, making a complete wreck of it. The house
has borne a bad name for years and
this method was doubtless, taken ot
exterminate a nuisance that repeated
appeals to the law had failed to ac
complish.

Tuesday evening, where he had .been

Ered Postal's hotel, the new Gris-
wold house, in Detroit, is attracting
attention. Of course it is first class
in all respects. Everybody who knows
Ered will want to stop at the Gris-
wold,—Hersey Outline.
The Texas girl who persuaded her
lover to let her hang him to prove his
affection, may not be a type of the
new woman, but she has introduced
new methods of courtship. This is
certainly giving the woman a little too
much rope, besides keeping the lover
in painful suspense.
Mrs. A. W. Mclntyre and daughter
Mrs. Hubel returned the latter part
of last week from McBain, where Mrs.
Mclntyre had been taking care of her
daughter, Mrs. George Smith, who has

city, had his hand crushed while
coupling cars at Beaverton last week
Thursday. Drs. Burner of Clare and

a husband, the former the 11th the

part of the company has been expected for some time.—Evart Review. Itr
would be just as well, if some of the

is no telling how soon they may be
caught in the same way.

"How dear to our heart is the old

-The Cadillac News   and   Express-
notes a new and important factor in
the development of northern Michigan is to be.the increased demand for
wood pulp and theplentifulness of the-
timber from which it is best made in
this section.   The best woods for ordinary print and manilla papers are
spruce, balsam and jack pine, but all
varieties of -pine, hemlock, and even*
the  despised   tamarack make good
pulp.   All fine-leaf wood excepting cedar and popular among the broad-leaf
species produce a ""'strong  fibre.   The-
coming paper mil] will make its own
pulp, fibre and paper under one roof
direct from  the logs. , Michigan "has
a future in this industry^  which is.
called upon to furnish 8,000 tons of
paper a day for the United States..
The News  and Express is correct
There are immense possibilities in the:
future for northern Michigan..
