The 305th Anniversary of the Battle of the
Boyne, Being Grandly Observed In Clare Tp«
Day-Clare Is Royally Entertaining Her Hundreds of Visitors—Ithaca Beat Clare 15 to 8.
Under tho auspices of the Tj. O. L."
lodge of this place the several lodges in
this vicinity nre today celebrating the
205th anniversary of the battle of the
Boyne. The day is all l^afc eould bo
■wished for, being cooled by a refreshing
breeze, and though the skies indicate
rain, the day's pleasures, -will probably
not be marred by showers, though, no
fault could be found if it was. Escorted
by Northey's popular martial band the
lodge of this place met the several trains
and escorted the visitors to their hall,
when, on the arrival of tho 10:05 train
from the west, the parade took place.
Bands from Caikinsvillo and lioomis,
dispensed inspiring music, t:nd the pa-
rade brought forth many admiring remarks from onlookers. After tho "walk"
wis concluded tho participants dispersed for dinner, which was served at
tho several hotels and eating stands. .
The Ball Game.
The ball game at the park today was
disastrous to the Glare tigers, It was,
perhaps, up to the fifth inning, as pretty
a game as has ever been witnessed upon
the grounds, but fate had designed a defeat for tho Glare boys and they took it
gracefully. They wont to pieces in the
fifth and the visitors got the lead and
kept it to the end. Ithaca put up a fine
game and were a gentlemanly lot of players. The home team made eight errors
that netl ed the visitors eight runs.

John   Clnrk,   Defaulting Marshal of Fnrwell,
Found In Minnesota.
Telegrams were received in Farwell
this morning to the effect that John
Olark, who was marshal of that village
foar years ago and absconded with $600
belonging to. the village, had been captured by Officer Breed in Hibbing,
Minnesota, and is now on his waY.here.,
The money earh6"into his hands while
in his official capacity ho collected the
village taxes. Action oa his bond was
commenced and a judgment now hangs
over the heads of the bondsmen for §500,
the amount of their liability on the bond.
Mr. Glark was proprietor of the Farwell
house, at the time he left. His wife has
since been running a boarding house in
Farwell. Officer Breed has the necessary requisition papers, and it is probable
that Mr. Olark will be placed on. trial at
the September term of court.
Death of Peter Callam.
Peter Gallaaa one of the oldest settlers
of this locality and the man who "built
the first business house in Clare died at
his residence three miles soutii and one
mile west of&erelast night. Mr Callam
was a prominent figure in the early history of the city and a more extended
notice of his life will appear in our next
issue. Deceased was a brother of Mrs.
Calkins, of the Calkins house.
And There Was Chairs Flying Through the Air
Saturday Night—Nobody Seriously Hurt.
Saturday night just before tho breaking of the Sabbath morning, and after
most, of the business houses had been
closed, there occurred a fracas on Mc-
Ewen street between Third and Fourth
street, which resulted only in a few
bruises to the participants. Somebody
who had been ardionsly worshipping at
the shrine of Bacchus, hit somebody else
who was in the same condition, and in
the space of a very few seconds there was
ffgenc^afBlttggtogmatch. Qnemanpra---
cured a chair and sailed into the melee
with the avowed intention, of crushing
someone to the earth, but tho only serious damage done was to tho chair, which
was smashed to pieces. Who started the
row and what it was about is hard to tell
as everyone who witnessed it tells a different story. It is presumed however
that "Tanglefoot" was the cause of arousing the pugilistic propensities of the Bac-
chusites. Tho row lasted only a few
minutes.  »
All Right in Missaukee.
Dennis E. Alward, of Glare, can safely
rely up«B the support of Missaukee
county in the next republican state convention if he decides to become a candidate for the otBae of auditor general.

eminently qualified for the position and
would'delight in assisting him to secure
it.—McBain Chronical.
