On Wednesday afternoon, along about
supper time, Dan McCormick, a man of
about two score years, a blacksmith by
trade, who runs a shop in connection
with Lamb's machine shop at tho east
end of 7th street, attempted suicide by
probiug for his heart with a sharpened
piece of iron. He drove the instrument
into his body three different times, but
struck a rib and failed to locate that
vital organ. He was discovered in his
predicament soon after the attempt by
Arthur Pratt, who escorted him down to
Mrs. Newgreen's restaurant in the old
opera house building, where he boards,
when his wounds were attended. Only
a few weeks ago his wifo was adjudged
insane and placed in the Traverse City
asylum. It is thought the matter has
preyed upon his mind until he also is
somewhat mentally deranged. He now
lies in a rather critical condition,
" A big crowd took part yesterftay "in
the bee that was held for building a
sidewalk to the cemetery. From 80 to
100 rods was laid, leaving parhaps 50 to
60 more to be laid to-day by property
owners along State street. The ladies^
served a most excellent dinner and an
equally good supper. Every one evinced
much interest and seemed to enjoy the
day very much. To the ladies belong
much praise." Don't think for a moment that this happened in Mt, Pleasant ! It was at our next door neighbors, the hustling city of Claro. We
are satisfied that the Mt. Pleasant ladies
are ready to perform their part di** -a
similar contract at any time, as cheerfully as did the Clare ladies, but the
male portion of our population seem
contented to wallow in dirt to the end
of their existence.—Mt, Pleasant Tribune.
