Temple the Scene of an   Alleged   Crime
that Beggars Description.
Meagre reports from Temple disclose one of the worst and most despicable criminal acts that was ever
unearthed in Clare county. The details of the crime are too vile for
print, but if the allegations of outrage, perpetrated upon a drunken
squaw are true, and lynching would
almost be justifiable.
The sheriff and his deputies are
investigating the affair, and wholesale arrests are probable, among
which it is stated several officials
of the township may be found. It
is to be hoped that the reports now
in circulation are greatly exager-
ated.

Carried Off the Prize Money in Two Games
at Coleman Yesterday,
HAD A BIG TIME,
The grahgers were out in full
force at Stevenson lake on Wednesday when the advertised picnic was
held, and hundreds who were not
grangers joined in the fun. Two
thousand people assembled to enjoy
the day and hear the speeches, made
by D. E. McClure, of Lansing,
School commissioner Lightfoot, of
Big Bapids, and B*. H. Dusenbury,
of Mt. Pleasant.
It is the first time the Vernon
grangers have attempted to entertain, but they say it will not be
their last.
It's a little late in the season, but
Clare has discovered a very fast
bunch. Of ball players within her
midst. A few days ago they won a
fine game from Mt. Pleasant, and
yesterday they hung two more
scalps to theil' belts in proper fashion.
The first game was with a Saginaw-Midland combination, wherein
a majority of the players were from
the governor's town, but that made
no difference. Osborne and Clark,
splendidly supported, won the game,
by a score of 7 to 5.
The second game at Coleman was
with Coleman, and Morrison and
Clark were in the points. The game
was a good one, but Coleman was
plainly outclassed. The sqore was
11 to 2 in Clare's favor.
Clare's team is playing excellent
ball, and it is made up of home
players, and as such is entitled to
the strongest possible support.
The celebration at Coleman was
partially a failure because of the
wet weather. The contract with the
Clare baud was cancelled at an early hour yesterday morning. Had
the day been fair without doubt our
neighbor would have been visited by
a large number of people.
WELL KNOWN GLflREITES
The above quartet are well known citizens, who are now associated
together as owners and employes of the Citizens bank, which opened
for business on Monday. They are most pleasantly located, with modern
equipment and every convenience for conducting the business they have
chosen, and the best that THE Courier can hope for them is that their
venture may prove both congenial and profitable.

BUM!
Indications Point to the Early Construction
of the Connection Between Harrison
and Klondike Branches.
A party of six surveyors have
bsen at work during the past week
on the proposed extension of the
Harrison branch of the P. M. __.._..
from Leota to Stratford in Missaukee county. The distance is twenty-
four miles, and with the exception
of one range of hills which the line
will cross the right-of-way is com-.-
paratively level.
While nobody in connection with
the survey claims to know the definite plans of the company, yet it is
fair to presume that, having recently purchased the Klondike branch,
and now having commenced the
survey, it is probable that the
company has fully determined to
construct the link. The saving in
distance from Detroit to Petoskey
by the construction of this line will
be sixty miles.
Nothing could happen that would
be' of more immediate benefit to
Clare county than the establishment
of a through line of railroad to the
north.
WILL BUILD AT ONCE!
"Until Tuesday evening N. Bicknell was undecided whether he
would build this fall upon the burnt
district. In fact, if he had arrived
at any conclusion in the matter It
was to postpone building until next
season. He has, however, concluded to proceed at once, and telephone orders brought four cars of
brick yesterday. The building will
be 33 x 100 in size, two stories and
basement, and will be finely finished
as any iji the city. It will be utilized for the dry goods and clothing
store of his son, W. H., while J. S.
will move into the building now
used with the grocery. .
It is probable that Ed.  Gilmore,
who
25  foct  frontage  between
the Bicknell lots, will build at the
same time, thus completely covering with brick buildings the territory devastated by fire three weeks
ago.
A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Simon "Winciski, a Pole, aged
about 05 or 70 years, is looked up
over in the county jail for shooting,
with evident intent to kill, Jacob
Myshoski, Mrs. Jacob Myshoski,
ahd their son. Jacob was perforated with bullets from a 38 calibre
revolver, Mrs. Wyhoski was shot
and beaten over the head with the
revolver, and the son, a young man
about 25, was shot through the ai-rn.
The affair happened early Wednesday morning, at their home a few
miles east of Leaton, iu Denver
township. The shooting was the
culmination of a misunderstanding
between the families of Winciski
and Myshogki. The former lives
on a forty adjoining the latter, and
no road to get to the main line, save
across the Myshoski forty, and for
some time the Myshoski's have
been protesting against their property being made a thoroughfare, and
after a heated argument on the
morning above mentioned, Winciski
returned to his home, loaded his revolver, came over to the Myshoski

home again and began the fusilade
which resulted as above told. Word
was telephoned to Sheriff Bailey,
who with Prosecuting Attorney
Dusenbury repaired to the scene
and gathered in Mr. Winciski as
above noted. Dr. Getchell was also
summoned and attended to the
wounds of the victims. The doctor
gives it as his opinion that while
the wounds of the old gentleman are
quite serious he will probobly recover.: These families were among
the number of Poles' who came from
Detroit a few years ago settling in
that part of Denver township. The
old people in the affair speak but
very little English and the case is
going to be a hard one to sift, yet
Prosecuting Att'y Dusenbury will
probably be equal to the emergency.

'NOTHER FISH STORY FROM  DOLPH
Tillamook, Ore., Aug. 20, 1903.
: Fkieni. Canfield:—I thought I
would write you a few lines to let
you know I was still in the TJ. S.
• We are getting lots of salmon
now. Can get a big one about 30 or
40 pounds for two bits. We are
getting new potatoes for six bits a
sack. ■ How does that sound. I
have taken a homestead of 160 acres
and will go to stock raising now. 1
am going to beat Clark Sutherland,
when I get the timber off. The land
has got five million feet on it. I
found a tree .that'-looked so large
thought I would pace around the
stump and it was 15 paces just as
close as I could get to the tree. I
suppose you will say I have got the
"Swell Head" since I came out
here, but I tell you it makes a person's head swell to see such timber
as there is here.
We got your paper, was glad to
hear from there. I sent Geo. McKeever a land circular, you can get
it and look it over and see what the
people are doing here. There is
three boats running now between
here and Astoria. One left lsst
week'with 1600 boxes of cheese and
16,000 pounds of chittum bark. It
is worth $100 per ton dried, and we
have got lots of it on our farm.
Democrats are not very thick here
but what few there is are stayers,
I went on an excursion out on the
big pond, or the Pacific ocean, deep
sea fishing, we captured a sea lion
that weighed 1300 pounds and fish
by the ton. Talk about fun, Houghton lake ajlnt in it. We used a lead
fish about" six inches long with a.
hook _ast in the head- and put on
100 feet of line so large that I had to
wind around my hands and pull
with all my might to break. Just
let your hook down and jerk on the
line and when you get a bite just
hand over hand him on board, we
caught about a dozen kinds from 10
to 50 pounds and all good to eat.
My wife went out fishing after
supper and caught a young salmon
on a small hook that was more than
we could all eat at a meal. I have-
to keep out Of the way now as  she
will walk right over me.
Well this leaves us all enjoying
ourselves fairly well. Good Bye,
my Michigan. I have lost track of
the Michiganders here so can not
tell you anything about them.
Dolph Lamb, "Web Foot."
MISS GIBSON RESIGNS.
Miss Francis Gibson, who last
year so acceptably filled the position
of principal of the high school, and
accepted the position for this year

tendered her resignation because of
an offer of a similar position in the
Otsego schools at a still larger salary than she had contracted to come
here for.
Upon her recommendation the
board has oontracted with Miss
Mary I_. Cooper, of Kenosha, Wis.,
a graduate of Albion college, for the
position.
Miss Malvina Glass, seventh
grade teacher, having resigned for a
similar.reason, Miss Agnes Maloney
has been engaged to fill the Va-1
cancy. ,      •'..*. -
School will begin on Monday next
in all rooms, provided no more
eleventh hour resignations occur.
The superintendent will be at his
office at the high school building tomorrow afterhoon to meet all students who desire to enter the school
and who have not yet been properly
classified. The teaching force is requested to assemble at the superintendent's office at two o'clock for
consultation.
