SUN OVER BY TELE THROUGH FREIGHT
SATURDAY, NEAR JLAKSINGYILLE.
HE WAS LYING- BRUNR UPON THE RAIL -
ROAB TRACK.
THE INQUEST SHOWED  THAT HE  GOT
HIS WHISKEY IN CLARE.
"Last Saturday was a busy day in
Glare—for the times. The streets
were filled' with teams as usual on that
day* As usual, also, there were the
a number of Indians, buying a few
provisions here, -plenty of bad drink
there, and doing a good deal more
loafing than anything else.
Among the rest were Bill "Nickson,
John Kalapagh, Wm. Bobinson and
, several other of the aboriginal race,
"^'residents of Wise township, five miles
or so south-east of this city. They
loafed around town, visiting one saloon and then another, getting a drink
when ever or where ever they chose,
now and then stopping to purchase
something to take home to the family. One Indian testified at the inquest
Monday that he drank in four different saloons, and named them.
About the middle of the afternoon
Bill Hickson went into Welch's market and bought a water melon, but
probably forgot to come after it when
he went home. Mr. Welch noticed
when he was in the market that the
Indian had been drinking and had
some difficulty in navigating. In fact,
he was near enough to that stage of
paralysis known as "drunkenness"
that when the 3:45 passenger train
went through Mr. Welch went out to
see if the indian was safe, as the track
runs along side the market. At about'
that time, probably, the indian set out
for home, for at 4:40 the through
freight going west overtook him at
"Lansing Siding, or more accurately,
one-quarter of a mile west of "Bowen's
mill, about 2J* miles east of Glare.
* The testimony of the train men is
that the train was going at usual speed
of about 25 miles an hour down a grade
with 44 cars, when they saw an object
across the south rail, about 35 car
lengths ahead when first seen. As the
train came nearer it was recognized as
,., the form of a man. All effort was
&**- made to stop the train, but it could
not be brought to a stop until a train
length and a half hy the accident. All
effort to arrouse the man upon the
track by the whistle was unavailing.
He did not'stir. He was dead drunk.
The train backed up and the remains
which were horribly mangled were
placed in the caboose and taken on to
' Loomis.
Fortunately, Justice S. D. Goon was
in town at the time the train arrived,
and promptly set about to empannel a
jury and summon witnesses for an in-
cpiest. The inquest was held Monday,
and the facts, so far as given above,
were brought out. In addition it was
shown that the deceaeed was 41 years
of age, had a wife and two children, a
boy and a girl, was industrious, providing well for his family, was' regarded vas a sober man, seldom drinking,
was.in good health and not subject to
fits. His home was on or near the
south side of section 20, Wise township.
The Sehtihel makes no apology for
taMng so much of its space to record
the death of an indian and a stranger.
He was an indian, it is true.    But he
was a man. .
Svea the violent manner of bis tak-
iingoffisnot of as much importance as
fact, as the testimony clearly
m, that he met Ms death as the result of liquor obtained in Clare saloons. That such sales to Indians are
unlawful, every one knows. The justice court records show plainly the culpable parties. It is needless for us to
name them. That this law and nearly every other regulating the sale of
liquor is being violated in our community continually, is patent to every

BRILLIANT   G.
LAST "W
AT THE PARK.
GQOD* FEELING, LOTS OF FUN AT SECOND ANNUAL BALL GAME.
EXCELLENT SUPPER AT THE CALKINS
IN THE EVENING.
The second annual business men's
ball game has come and gone, The
"blues" can now say in a paraphrase of
the immortal Perry (O. H., not G. W.)
"We have met the enemy and we are
theirs."
It was the east—the blue—the dollar, against the west—the red—the
ten cent counter, and the latter won.
The old adage should now read ''The
cents will take care of themselves and
the dollars, too."
But it was lots of fun, and the
"blues" have the satisfaction that,
though defeated, they are uncon-
quered and unconquerable, aud after
this terrible soreness wears off are
ready to be licked again.
The business men's base ball game
bas come to be an annual affair, and
the game for '95 will be looked forward to with much expectancy. Of
course the game for '94 isn't entirely
settled, and won't be for several days,
not, at least, until everybody who saw
it has explained for the hundredth
time just how and why the game was
lost or won, according to his particular
bias.
It would be out of human possibilities to give a consecutive account of
the game. The score below tells the
story. If you weren't there be sure to
go next time and se thee fun. There
were plenty of * 'features." In fact tb e
game was mostly made of features.
The most conspicuous, probably, were
Tatman's remarkable throw to the
plate which let in a man from third,
Calkins' lightning transposition of
feet on first base, and Boyd's great
shin stops.
The teams and runs were as follows,
Pratt running once and Palmer twice
for Goodman, who was lamed in the
first inning, and Tess Louch running
once for Hutchison, who was lamed in
the sixth:

Our Farwell letter tells of two very
interesting ball games played in that
village Tuesday, between north and
south side business men. Each side
won a game but the north side paid
for the supper.   '
Clare is to be favored with another
industry—a cigar factory. During the
past week one of the first floor ware-,
rooms-of Louch(Husted)block has been
fitted up for that purpose. W. P.
Lewis of Carson City will run the factory, employing about four hands, and
will open the business about September first.
It has been suggested that the carriage gate at the cemetery be left open
upon Sundays. Many persons desire
to visit the city of the dead on that
day, and it does not appear that those
driving about the grounds in carriages
are more likely to do injury than
people upon foot, to whom there is
free access.
Here is a move in the right direction. It is proposed to "have a road
bee next Tuesday to clay the road from
the Tobacco river bridge north-east of
the city to the city. Some of this
road merely needs repairing, but much
of it has never been clayed, especially
that part near the cemetery, over
which, at present, it is impossible to
draw a good load. It is expected that
both farmers and town people who can
put in a day's work, with or without
team, will do so. Get together early
Tuesday and put in a full day. The
street and road commissioners will
have charge of the job. We are not
informed as to where the clay will be
taken from, but as there is plenty of
it both north and south of the proposed work, there will be no trouble
on that score, E. Lamb should have
credit for setting the matter going.

A lady lost a pocket book on Main
street one day of last week, containing two dollars, a pen knife and keys.
As her name was plainly written
within, she naturally hoped that an
honest person might find it. Should
this ever catch the eye of the finder
he will please keep the two dollars and
return the pocket book and knife to
this office, as they were highly prized
souvenirs, valuable only to the loser.

work. All lot owners are requested

by the association will please notify
the president, Mrs. W. H. Goodman.
Detroit papers have settled it that
D. E. Alward of Clare is to be the next
secretary of the republican state central committee. As the central committee does not meet until next Tuesday it would be a little premature to
congratulate Mr. Alward, except upon
the fact that he is favorably considered in that connection, an Adrian
gentleman being also prominently
mentioned. That Mr. Alward is in
every way qualified and worthy of the
position, every one that knows him
will admit, and the Sentinel merely
voices a large constituency in expressing the hope that "Den" may be made
secretary of the state central committee.

machine and thinks of the big meals
necessary for her to prepare for a day

business man.
"You can quote me as authority that
it pays to advertise," said C. F. Young,
vice president of the Grand Eapids
Bark and Lumber Co., to the Senti-

three mileage books which were advertised last week and which were recovered by him through the adv. in last
week's Sentihel. Moral:—Advertise

There was an attempted robbery in
town one evening this week. As
Lester Brown was sitting at home in
the twilight, figuring up an account
with Will Smith, the latter was suddenly called away, and a tramp, thinking the man of the house was not at
home, entered the premises and wandered around the rooms some minutes
looking for something to lay his hands
on before Mr.Brown made his presence
known by asking the visitor his business. He apologised for the intrusion
and asked Brown for something to
eat. Brown professed not to know
anything about the cullinary department of the house, and was then asked
for a quarter of a" dollar which was
also refused. Then the stranger asked
to see a watch which-Brown had in
his hand winding. He took the watch
and made a break fyr the door, Brown
after him. A couple of whacks over
the shoulders from a flute case caused
the fly gentleman.to drop the property
and seek cover in the darkness. The
watch is safe, but no tramp need apply at Mr. Brown's. His presencegwill
be an intrusion.
