Passed Away.
DIED.—At her late home in Clare,
on Thurtday, July 22, 1886, Mrs.
Phebe Cunningham, wife of Andrew Cunningham, aged 36 years,l
month and 24 days.
Deceased was born in Rowdon,
Ont., and came to Michigan after she
arrived at womanhood. She was
married at Midland in 1870 to Andrew Cunningham, when they moved to near Clare where they have
since resided. Over two years ago
she was taken ill and as time passed
on it became evident that she was a
victim of that dread disease, consumption!. For nine months past
she has been a gaeat sufferer and
powerless to help herself, death coming on yesterday as a sweet, relief.
Her loss will be sincerely mourned,
for she possessed traits of character
which endeared her to a large circle
of Mends and her intense suffering
during the latter months of her life
aroused tlie sympathy of all who
knew her. A short service will be
held at the house tomorrow, Saturday, morning at ten o'clock and tha
remains will be interred in Cherry
Grove cemetery. On the return of
Rev. Mr. Youngelove a memorial
discourse will be preached, it having
been the oft-repeated wish of the deceased that this be done.

Exodus   of Clare   Cotmty'B   Legal?
Lights.—Big Bust.
A correspondent writes to the Saginaw Courier from Mt. Pleasant ns
follows.-        After        a. careful
investigation    of the charges preferred"      against       certain       parties in this county by Indian  Mark
VV. Stevens, your correspondent is
forced to the conclusion that sourses
from which the agent;'has obtained
his information are quite unreliable
aud the proposed investigation will
simply end  "in smoke."    In  most
instances these men bought the timber of the Indians in good faith, supposing that they had the  right to
sell, and the Indians supposing  the
same.   Many of the patents  of the
Indians were denominated,   "notso
competent," but the Indians  believed they were the. real owners of the
soil, and had all the rights and privileges of fee-simple  titles.     Under
this belief the Indians sold their timber in order to live and improve their
lands.   Recently, however, the department aWVasbington has decided
that they had no right to sell  or remove timber only for the purposes of
clearing  their  lands.    No    blame
could attach to either buyer or seller,
as both parties believed  they  were
KCting in good faith.   There possibly
have been some cases of trespass on
vacant Indian lands, but the characters and reputation of the gentlemen
charged does not warrant the belief
that they ever committed any wilful
trespass on such lands.   Mr. Stevens
evidenely is striving to do his duty
as an officer, for which he is entitled
to much eredit, but he must depend
largely upon information   from persons living in the  locality  of these
alleged trespasses, which in a large
majority "ot cases ss somewhat uncertain at Tbest.   Agents have often undertaken the same thing as that of
Mr. Stevens, but with no satisfactory
or profitable rtsults..

A Harrison correspondent writes:
The matter of the new railroad is
creating considerable interest among
citizens. P. A. Wilson, a prominent
citizen here, has recently written a
letter to Mr. Ashlej7, and also sent
him a plat of the country through
which tho road would pass should it
come this way. A strong belief ex-'
ists here that with the proper amount
of push and money Harrison can get
the road.

Serious   Accident.
Last Sunday Joseph Hudson and
his little daughter^Mary of Dover
met with a very serions accident.
They were returning home from
Clare when the colts which Mr. Hud-
sou drove became frightened and,
making a quick plunge to one side,
let the pole down and the carriage
was overturned. Both occupants
were thrown violently to the ground
where they were found insensible
sometime afterwards. Mr. Hudson
was more severely hurt than the little
girl, he having sustained iujuries
to his back which confine him to his
bed. His condition and that of his
daughter were much improved ab
last accounts and it is thought that
both are on the road to speedy and
complGte recovery.
