commercially, Clare cannot fail to increase in business every year as the
neighboring country becomes more
thickly settled, and in the not far
distant future become the center of a
vast trade.
The population of the village is over 1,000, and if the present rate of increase continues we expect the census
oflSOOwill place the figures above
1500.
But of the progress of Clare village
during the year 1885 this article has
more to do. The figures given are
interesting as showing the addition
to the material weath of our village :

Wells & Ssono's men were at work:
Monday breaking therollway on the '
Middle Branch five miles east of the
Bradley school lions-' and I heir foreman, Joseph Mad ill was out on the
logs directing the work and assisting
in dislodging the   logs,   which   were
piled high above the banks.    Those:
who have never witn'.«-.M(.,d the breaks
mg of a roll way can form but a mea-
gie idea of the   danger   that, aitends
i ho work.   The movement of a sin- ,
gie log may cause   the   whole  mass
of timber to   come   tumbling down,
and t u-'  men   at   work   must  make
quick time to get -out of the   way.
T'-o wor;< i.s often attended with lo:s
of life, as was the case   on   Monday.

slipped on the  icy  logs and  he fell
forward upon hn  banns.    B.'foiv he
could rise a log which wiif  ,v,mj   !)()0
feet, struck him in L,-c. !.;,-•■< u;iu   rolled onto  his IKMd,  rio.in.illg    Jllill    up
and crushing him in .t frigiUini nudi-
ner. his comratlen witnessed the .
accident but were powei-.e.^ in avert
it. They returned to lum immediately and set to work to raise the log
from poor Madill, and they broke
thou" CiiitthooKS in making'the attempt,. It was found necessary to
cut a strong pry, by means ot which
the log .was rolled oil" from the inured man.   JEEe was still alive,' but
nose and ears, his back   wTisbroken,
hips crushed and ribs ground togeth- .
er.   A messenger was  sent in has«e
to Loomis to telegraph   to  Clare for
medical aid and to Madill's   wife in
Saginaw.   The men tenuerly carried
the mangled form of   their foreman
to the camp,  two   and a   half miles
distant.   The accident  happened  afc
four o'clock and by seven o'clock Dr.
Todd of Clare had   arrived  afc the
camp, but could do   nothing.   Madill was still breathing buL the  death
rattle was in   his   throat.   At  nine
o'clock a    special  train   arrived  at
Loomis, bringing from  Saginaw the
wife, so .soon to   be.  a   widow,  two
brothers of  Madill   and a   surgeon.
They were driven as fast as   possible
to the camp, ten   miles  distant, and
were   with  the   injured    man some
time .bofore he died, at li   o'clock.
The remains were taken ;o   Saginaw
the same night on the   .special train.
The deceased was well known in this
county   where   his   business ability
and excellent character luul won him
many friends.    He leave-j nesides the
