reported here Wednesday
ij yraia men that they had
JsrseS in Coleman that a tragedy had
G33"an*a^"atBeaverton. Later amaa
trao claimed to have come direct from
SsaYerton reported to several citizens
esi© that Sam Dopp, formerly of Mere-
C:2t5i, and deputy sheriff, hut who now
H'nss. a saloon in Beaverton, had" shot a
'S-erma-n who had interfered with his
domestic affairs and had then shot
J-jJLilfi
self.   The.man who told the story
lying on
and that
',!ci that he saw Doth men
ie-floor in Bopp's saloon,
Tcotli men would die.
There are several elements of im-
prohability in the affair. ■ ISTo one believes Dopp would shoot himself. The
SEsmNEL has made diligent inquiry
G'G Ooleman by wire, but-is able to find
HothiBg in it. As no wire runs to
Bsaverton it will be impossible to
learn particulars until the   branch
In returns this evening.
Daily papers of yesterday and today
have nothing of the affair and it may
Tbe a fake grown out of-another tragedy
near there as reported elsewhere in

part payment."
"A farmer ten miles from town, on
a poor country road, is further from
market than if he were two hundred
miles away by rail." This is the way
the "farmer's. Home" puts it, and it
isn't much of an exaggeration, either.

"There is a perceptible increase *in
the volume of freight business transacted by the T. & A. railroad," says
the Cadillac !$ews and Express, "as is
shown by the number of extra through
freight trains passing the city. The
new transfer steamer across Lake
Michigan appears to meet the purposes for which it was constructed.
Last Saturday night a through train
of twenty cars of flour went east
through this city, and was followed by
another train of twenty-eigtit carsi on
Sunday morning and another of twenty cars on Sunday evening."
About nine o'clock Sunday morning
fire broke out in the barn oppsite the
Donovan house in Mt. Pleasant.. Three
horses, a cow and several hundred
dollars worth of cutters, sleighs, buggies, etc., were in the building at the
time. All were lost except the poorest horse arid one cutter. The fire
gained rapid headway for a few
moments threating the entire block*
oh the south side of Broadway and
west side * of Main street j but was
finally stopped after totally destroying the barn, Dr. Berger's veterinary
office and the building adjoining, occupied by Gavin's saloon.
The Mt. Pleasant Enterprise serves
it up to the farmers in this style:
"What a sermon is this! One of our
prominent merchants and grain buyers in a circular to his customers issued from this office this week, has
this significent clause after his invitation to continue patronage: frWe
pay cash for all kinds of grain, except
wheat.' Notwithstanding the fact
that there are thousands of starving
people in the world, notwithstanding
tne fact that there is wheat enough in
the country this very day to feed our
people for five years to come, the
farmers of Isabella county continue to
raise wheat and hoard it in their barns.
Then they cry hard times, because
they cannot sell it for enough to pay
the expense of seed, plowing, harrow-
ingj sowing, reaping, stacking, threshing and marketing. Notwithstanding the proved unprofitableness of the
business, there are almost as many
acres sown this fall as usual. Business
sagatity is as much needed by farmers
as by those who transact other business."
