'piEjpose. Commander _a__p -called
.the meeting-to order, and was made
-_-in_-_,- Jas. E. Tatman was chosen
see_etary of tbe meeting. Short
gpsesbes relative to tbe observance of
■Memorial Bay were made by Messrs.
&lbersan and Palmer, and Comrades
-Camp and'Brown. It appeared to be
"the unanimous-sentiment.tbat a united effort of citizens an_ veterans
should-"be made-to observe tbe coming
BOtb. of May more fully than ever before. Owing* however, to the present
wealcenfid condition of tbe post, it will
be necessary for the other citizens 5 to
push the matter and do the work.
TMs, the meeting was assured, the
people of Clare stand ready to do. It
is not that Glare people are unpatriotic, but they have been waiting to be
told to take up the work of commemo-
ration which the. G. A. JR. with reluctance acknowledges is too much for
its strength. Bow and henceforth it
is not only the duty but the sacred
legacy of the past to the present generation to take up the loving task of
inaugurating and carrying forward
tiie arraege_ients for Decoration Bay.
In this connection we would suggest
that the committee having charge of
the observance this year should provide a standing committee whose duty
it shall toe to set the matter going next
year in ample season, and so. on from:
year to year.
The meeting Tuesday evening ap-
poiiated a general committee -of ten,
a of them, being from -Hancock-
of all arrange-
The committee
.was as follows: From the Post—Z.
Kffioap, commander; -Henry Brown.

i?ro-i'the citizens—John Giberson, E.

The meeting then adjourned but was
followed by a meeting of the Becora.
Wm Bay committee. John G-iberson
was. made chairman of tbe committee;
]_._>, IMmer^secrefe-ry; J. 3?. Tatman^
treasurer It was .resolved to invite
the public schools and all local organisations to join in the exercises - of the
clay." A sub-committee was appointed
to secure an orator for the day. The
eommittee then adjourned to meet
Friday euening, (tonight) at the office
of John G-iberson.
Every citizen who loves the memory
of the heroic dead, who believes the
children should be taught to respect
honor and self-sacrifice, or who themselves regard bravery and patriotism
as virtues, should assist if possible in
the observance of Becoration Bay.
Post., to take charge

Compliments Mr. Wolsky,
The following complimentary sketch
of our former townsman, "Wm. Wolsky,
appeared in the "Detroit- Herald of
Commerce of April 26, accompanied
by a cut of that gentleman:
Mioety Days at Detroit,,
Prosecuting Attorney Wickham was
f_ Clare, Tuesday, by request of Justice
Carpenter to represent the people in
the case of "Will Stevens, who was
charged with several petty criminal
offenses. Although there were several
complaints lodged against Stevens,
the one easiest to reach was the theft
of a jack-knife from Moulton Bavis,
and it was chiefly with the evidence
from this case that the justice sent
the offender to the Detroit house of
■correction for ninety days.
Another complaint made before Justice Carpenter was that Stevens by
-false representation collected pay
•twice for the same piece of work. It
■appears that he collected sixty cents
trom, B. Lake of Loomis, a local nursery agent, for covering some fruit
■trees, and then went to the general
gg*__t Messecar and collected a dollar
for the same piece of work. These
and several- other minor affairs,
•soupled with rather- unfavorable reputation,-led the court to believe a seas-
_a at Detroit would be beneficial.
w. wo_sb:_.
The thriving city of Clare is  about
to lose one of her foremost  enterprising citizens and business men in the
person of the subject of this brief
sketch- .
What is Clare's loss is to become Detroit's gain, as Mr. Wolsky intends in
the near future to .make Detroit his
home.
Mr. Wolsky started in the clothing
business in Clare when tbat city was
but a small village. That was in the
year of 1878. He began in a small way,
having moved there from Midland.
The year following his advent in business he added dry goods and shoes to
his stock. In March, 1885, he, with
two other gentlemen, started a private
bank, which business grew to such an
extent that in June, 1891, they organized it under the state law, and Mr.
Wolsky was made president, a position
he still holds. He ran. the mercantile
business at the same time, which continued growing, until, in order to have
larger quarters, he erected, in 1891, a
fine brick block, which is still an ornament to that city. In the summer of
1890 he, with others, started a pail and
tub factory, which now employs about
fifty hands, and has been of great benefit to the town. Mr. Wolsky is one of
the directors of the factory. Last
January he 3old out his mercantile
business in order to remove to Detroit,
where he intends engaging in some
kind of business.
Whatever that business may be, we
feel assured tbat this gentleman will
make it a suecess.
His removal from Clare would be a
source of regret to his many warm
friends there, did they not wish him,
as the Herald does, every success in
whatever may be his undertaking.
Betroit will certainly welcome so
enterprising and useful a business man
as Mr. Wolsky has proven himself to
be. ;: x-
LOST BOTH LEGS!
May 17, the above named parties with
force and arms, to wit: A revolver
and a knife and sundry threats compelled the said Edwards to deliver to
them certain pieces of silver together
with two jack-knives, the whole being
valued at four dollars.
The warrant was served by Officer
Parrish and examination fixed for
Wednesday, May 17, bail being placed
at $1000 each, Ed Pratt became surety for Patient and Ed Pratt, George
Halsted and Jobn Husted for Collins.
We refrain from making comment
on the case at present, or reciting the
nature of the evidence that will be
brought forward, more than to say
that the case looks serious.    •   .   ■
Another at Hackiey S& Hume's.
Last week we recorded the accidental killing of a man by the cars at
Hackiey & Hume's. At three o'clock
Wednesday afternoon another was
run over at the banking grounds near
Jonesville. The name of this last unfortunate is Al. Cody of Harrison. He
was trying to show a new man how to
make a "drop" or "flying" switch and
fell behind the engine as it was back:
ing up, the hind trucks passing over
both legs below the knees, severing
one leg and badly crushing the other.
He was taken to Harrison where his
injuries were attended by Dr. Kelley
of Earwell, who went up on the evening train.. Yesterday morning Cody
was taken to the hospital at Big
Eapids. Cody is a single man, about
30 years of age. He is rather a heavy
man, which renders his recovery more
difficult. It is feared by some that he
cannot recover.

Lon Phillips of Earwell met with a
terrible accident on the Maloney
branch of the E. & P. M. about two
and one-half miles from that place,
Tuesday. He was loading bolts on a
car, while near by a crew were loading
cedar poles. They had two cars loaded and wished to move them along to
make room for an empty car. Phillips
went over to help move the cars along.
A team was attached to one of the
cars, as is frequently done, and the
men put their shoulders to the car.
Phillips, not knowing the cars were
coupled together,, went in between
them to push. As the first car started
of course the other followed and he
was caught, the wheels passing over
both legs below the knees. Dr. Kelley attended him.
Mr. Phillips is a sober, industrious
man, about 30 years old and married.
He is a careful man, and the last man
likely to meet with such an accident.
He carries no insurance, although he
desiredlast fall to take insurance with
,the Maccabees and his wife objected,
not liking the idea of being the recipient of money by his death. $1000
would be a good thing for the family
now for his total disability. He is
getting along reasonably well, but the
approaching warm weather is unfavorable.	
Held for Robbery.
