But Patient Was Too Far Gone When He
Arrived.
Mrs.  Sarah   Reno   P-ssed   Away   Fiiday
f/orning   May 24, Following   Loug
Illness Jrom Cancer.
Mrs. _ Sarah Reno died Friday
morning about 2 o'clorck at 311
Ouster avenue, from cancer, after
having taken Christian Science
treatment for the disease, it is
alleged, for the past few weeks.
She came to this city several weeks
ago and took up her residence, it
is reported with Mrs. O. B. Kroeck
of Custer avenue, for the purpose of
taking treatment from Mrs. Kroecks
daughter, Ella A.. Kroeck, a Christian Science healer. Mrs. Reno.lived
at Thorn Hill.
Tbe treatment did not result successfully, and .Mrs. Reno gradually
grew worse. Thursday night it is
reported that her "condition became
so grave that the household in
which she was taking the Science
treatment, decided that it was necessary to obtain the services of a
regulation physician, and Dr. L D.
Orville Ohabut was called to attend
the sick woman. Her condition appears to have been such that when
he arrived little could be done to aid
her.   She died some time later.
Tbe body was removed from the
Kroeck residence Friday afternoon.
Word of her death was sent to the
husband who arrived in the afternoon to look after the remains.

Mrs. Sarah Reno Nee, . Miss
Sarah Jerred, was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jerred, formerly

Fear Attempt on Part of Owners of Ann
Arbor Bonds to Collect Same.
, The suit commenced against the
township of Vernon for the eolleo
tion of the Ann Arbor railroad bonds
has caused many residents of Grant
to rise up and take notice. This
issue was for $15,000, and the township then included what is now the
city of Clare, The bonds were
never delivered, but many s.eem t'o
think that an attempt will be made
by the owners to force delivery, and
that ultimately the matter will land
where the Vernonites now find
themselves compelled to make de-
fence.
.It is alleged that citizens  of this
city have several times been offered
inducements   of  an   extraordinary
character to use thoir influence   to
secu.re a copy of the township record
in the matter, and that such  record
was finally secured from a  former
clerk of the township.     What'  this
means ia atpresent conjectural, but
the    wiser   ones  are" looking   for
trouble later.   With the accrued Interest the bonds will now amount to
over $20,000,  and  numerous of the
Grapt taxpayers are even  now op-
I poBing extensive road improvements
lin the fear that the railroad bonds
' will become a debt against tho rown-
■ ship.

The shearing was done by .Messrs.
Yerkes, Lucas, and Edmunds, of
Vernon, and the' latest process
for rapid clipping was used.    .
This ranch, under the personal

tile Owners"aTe^speBuiugrt large
sum of money in breaking and fitting much ot their lands for general
farming purposes.. A big bunch of
lambs was recently sold froni this

certainly been a winner for the company.
PROPERLY OBSERVED
Clare People Suspend Labors [or Observance
of Decoration Day, and Program  is
Greatly Enjoyed.
_ _____
Though the preparations for the
observance of Decoration day in
Clare were made within a few hours
before the occasion, fully one
thousand people gathered at Cherry
Grove to pay tribute to the memory
of those who gave their lives that
the republic might live, as well as
to the few survivors, to whom the
day is one of sorrow.
At one o'clock the city band escorted the veterans and public
schools to the cemetery, where a
very appropriate program was carried to successful completion.
Music was ful'niahed by the baud
and students. J. F. Tatman presided and J. S. Bieknell acted as marshal. Addresses of more than
ordinary merit were delivered by
Messrs. D. E. Alward and A. J.
Lacy. In language that bespoke
the highest order of patriotism each
of the speakers pictured the glories
of the great United States, made
possible through the successful
termination of the civil war, and
which result made possible the
peace, contentment and prosperity
of today. Clark Bitter, of the high
school recited Lincoln's Gettysburg
address in a forceful manner.
Cherry Grove was looking at its
best yesterday, and countless were
the compliments heard for the able
manner in which the board is making attractive Clare's resting place
for the dead.
Business was suspended during
the entire afternoon. The weather
was all that could be wished for,
and the public was highly pleased
with the effort made to properly observe the day.
Gun Glob Reorpized.
The Olai'c Gun Giub which ■ went
out of business several- years ago,
is to be brought to life. About thirty
of the local sportsmen have signed
tho roll and a meeting will be held
next Tuesday evening to elect the
officers and prepare for work;'
The Club is organized solely fox-
trap shooting purposes, and the
sport is one greatly enjoyed by gun
lovers. '
F. E. Aldertou and family will remove to their new home in Clare,
Mich., in the' near 'future. Mr.
Alderton has lived here for a number of years and as proprietor of the
Hotel Grand proved to be an enterprising and liberal business man,
who gained a considerable degree of
popularity in the community. It is
doubtful, if we are correctly informed, if the house was ever run under
a more orderly or reputable management than' his. 'Those who came
into business contact with Mr.
Alderton have found him to be
square and honorable and these and
his many other friends are sorry to
see him go and leave the hotel
vacant.—Laingsburg News.

Complaint is' frequently heard

so far have failed to give heed to
the warning. It the practice continues the-ofHcials will be compelled
to lend a hand to stopping the nuisance, and should this happen it will
prove embarrassing to many
families in the city who areto.be
found in the best society.' If.oach
parent will take pains to know
where his or lier boy is during hours
