not gone' far* when, Recording to
Baedgley's."statement, he attempted
to attack the 'girl dragging" her' into
a clump of bushes but she fought him
o.ff. Then, he confessed, the officers
say, that he became frightened that
slie would tell her parents so he stabbed her three times in the neck with
liis pocket-knife. An artery was severed and the child bled to^death. ..
. "When the girl" did not ^arrive hom|
from school at the usual time her
parents became alarmed, and a
search. was instituted. Jt was found
that she- had .started 'but from school
on her way home, hut her movements
farm on her way home, and that s"he
was alone at the time.
Body   Found   in   Brosh
- Later the girl's father, Martin Todd,
and a neighbor, Arthur Reece, came
upon the bo~dy in a clump of bushes
several rods off the roadway. Three
gashes in her throat had caused her
death, but there were bruises oh the
body indicating a struggle.
The body was removed to the John
M. Doherty undertaking rooms in
Goleman, and a corners's jury empaneled. The inquest was set for
Saturday. Dr. High, of Coleman, will
make an examination of the body.
The authorities at Midland were
notified immediately 'of the finding of
the body, and armed posses set out
to find the murderer. All roads were
patrolled, but suspicion was not directed toward Baedgley until officers
visited his home and found things in
disorder.
Farmers Talk Violence
Midland officers could not take a
chance on the frail calaboose at Coleman nor the jail at Midland on account of the feeling in the vicinity as
news of the crime -was passed along.
Farmers talked menacingly «- and
Sheriff Bailey, of Midland, soon after
arresting Baedgley, took him to Bay
City. The sheriff, Prosecuting Attorney B." E. Moreys and Deputy
^Sheriff James Party were .present
when the prisoner confessed' to attacking and killing the girl, according
to Bailey.
Was World War Veteran
Baedgley is a world war veteran,
having served for a time with the
337th Headquarters company, 85th
■ division. He was overseas for eight
"months. He informed officers that he
is subject to lapses of memory a«d
is not accountable for what he does
during these spells.
.Neighbors say that he has acted
peculiary. It is known that he- underwent observation for several weeks
. at a government hospital since the
war ended. Upon arriving at the
Bay City jail Baedgley's first request
was for a Bible.
Marguerite leaves her parents and
five brothers and sisters. Baedgley
-' lives alone with liiS' Wife"' and his parents "and brothers live on nearby
farms.
Body Cared For by Local Undertaker
John 'E. Doherty, of this city, was
caring for his brother, J. M's, store
and undertaking business at Coleman
during his absence at Detroit, and
was called - on the case. It became
John's sad duty to care for Marguerite's little body. It was necessary for him to carry Tier bleeding
little form some fifteen rods through
. thick brush to the road, where he had
a-sedan in-waiting and took her to
Coleman where he prepared- the hody
so that,.the parents may again see
her. "   -"
Mr. t)oherty states that about 3:30
Friday morning the Sheriff and county
officers and a posse of searchers
brought Baedgley in the undertaking
parlors and compelled him to stand
beside her multilated form for fifteen
or twenty minutes that he might see
his awful' dead.
In the thirty-four years of his .experience in undertaking, John says
that he has cared for several murders,
but this was the most cruel he has
ever seen.
The funeral of little Mai-guerite
was held from the" M. E. church at
Coleman last Sunday afternoon,
where a lai'ge concourse of sympathic
friends gathered to pay their last respect to the little martyr. Interment
was made in the Coleman cemetery

"TO WHOM SHOULD
-"    CHARITY BE GIVEN"
Editor Sentinel:—
Poor Commissioner Weidner's letter in your last issue thows some
high lights upon his method of performing his so-called duties to the
tax-payers (a' favorite phrase with
politicians,) while neglecting the
duties he swore to faithfully perform,
and which in my former letter I was
not mean enough to call public attention to, though I well knew them.
He states that he made a "thorough
investigation" of this cass* after I had
made three trips there, at intervals
of three and five days apart, and had
ample time to make a' fourth visit had
it been necessary. "Why should he expose himself to such s wonderful immediate quickness in this case, which
he admits he thought was an "obsterics" case, (whatever that is) with-a
woman sixty-four 'years' old? (note
that 'obsterics" is his word,—I never
used'y;.)
• He ,might just as well have delayed
his thorough investigation till next
summer or the year after, for all the
good it. would do the old woman with
pneumonia lying ih a tireless room,
the weather being as low as 30 degrees below zero, or even had it
been "obsterics". for after such delay
of eight or nine days, she would be
either dead and buried several days,
or recovered, so that his examination
of her would be too late for him to
give orders for necessary nurse, doctor, or sick-room supplies,      ,
Mr. Weidner"..decided the fahiily
should-hare no county help because
the old grandmother 84 years of age
gets a pension of $30, and the cripple
jsoldier-boy gets ?1'0 per month, and
"works "in the woods," also the man
has two cows and a horse, and can
get plenty of wood,—if the old man
and-tfte girl cut it between acts. His
thorough investigation did not discover that this son was not working
when I took the case, but was at
home and unable to go out to look

DOGS BECOMING A NUISANCE.
Many complaints are being registered at this office as to dogs being Jet

* The state law strictly sets forth the
restrictions placed on these animals
and holds the owner of a dog liable

to the; fR^ublican, p(ai-.ty and to the
principals for which it. stands, ;
We point "with pride' to its accoms
plished, capable and fearless leader,
Calvin Cooledge, who, as president
of these United States^ has shown by
his fearless.and independent official
acts,'that he Is- President ih fact as
well as in name and has demonstrated the fact that he is not the tool of
any party, sect or group of politicians, but has interested himself in
the best interests of the whole people
of this country, and has put forth all
his power and influence to lighten!
the burdens under which they strive.'
We deprecate the unstatesmanlike
and ghoulish acts of those members
of the U. S. Senate," w'ho, prior to the .
last general election, raised   such   a!
furore  in  connection with  the  Tea-i
Pot-Dome investigation, and tried up-'
successfully to besmirch    the    good j
name and fame of Michigan members,
all of which-was done and brought
about for political purposes only, and
to create political thunder for the; democratic party in the   then   approaching campaign, which dastardly action
was condemned by the people of this
whole United  States  at the general
election in November last, who put
the firm seal of their condemnation
and "disaproval on all such comouflage
and    political     trickery     attempted
against the republican party.
We call upon all state officers and
legislature, to lighten the burdens of
taxation under which the people how
suffer, and to practice retrenchment
and reform so far as a policy of that
kind may be carried out with due regard to the actual and necessary
wants of the state.
We approve the wise and capable
work &nd efforts of Justices Clark and
McDonald of our Supreme Court, and
strongly recommend their renomina-
tiofi and election.
In well chosen words School Commissioner A. H, Aldrich address the
convention, extdling the qualities of
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
Thos. Johnson, who is again a candidate to succeed himself, . and although no one is opposed to Mr, Johnson, the convention went on record
commending the qualities of this
great educator and congratulating the
state ip its good fortune in having a
man possessed of the talent of Mr.
Johnson as being willing to again

The various ills of life to bear,"

As solemnly church bells chime
Now must we turn to our belief
We shall be comforted in time.
