The Capitol is a busy place these
days as Governor Fred W. Green and
the 1927 Legislature tackle the many
important problems confronting the.

seem to realize that the public .is now

promises were made to win votes or
if those who made them really meant
•what they said.
The fifty-fourth Michigan Legislature convened for the regular-biennial
session Wednesday, January 5th. The
chief accomplishments of the first,
week were the organization • of tne
Senate and House, the selection of officials and employes, and the reception of the Governor's inaugural message.'

Governor Reads His Message
The most spectacular feature of the
first week's session was the joint
convention of the Senate and House
Thursday afternoon at which Governor Green delivered his inaugural address to the lawmakers, justices of
the Supreme Court, other state officials and a large crowd of citizens
who packed the galleries and side
lines to capacity.
Preceding the delivery of Governor
Green's message, Dennis E. Alward,
Secretary of the Senate, read the
farewell address of former Governor
Alex1 J. Groesbeck. This message declared that State business was "in
an unusually healthy condition.
Neither deficit, depleted treasury nor
the necessity of devising new methods
' of taxation face the new Legislature,"
he said. Groesbeck praised the present highway system and the conduct
of road building affairs. He urged
strengthening of the Administrative
Board act »
' Governor Green's message painted
State affairs in very different colors.
He expressed grave apprehension regarding the condition of the State
treasury and finances. He said, "I
am having an audit made of the
books and an inventory of the properly. When these are completed. I
will glve*them to you and to the public. ' I do know that the Highway Department has pledged its revenues in
advance; that the State is'not paying
its bills; that Jackson prison owes
the general fund nearly a million and
a half dollars; that taxes have been
leviel and money raised for specific
operations and then spent for other
purposes. There are many disturbing rumors in. regard to the State's
financial condition which will only be
tiuited by an independent audit such
as is under way.
Hits Juggling of Funds
"In the future there will be regular
reports of receipts and expenditures
that will reveal the Stale's true financial condition. In this connection
a statute punishing the juggling of
funds in public reports might well be
adopted." Digressing from his written
message, Governor Green informed
the Legislature that past-due highway bills that he has found on hand
since he took office January 1, amount
to more than ?4,-592.000.
Governor Green's message was a
most comprehensive document, setting forth in firm sentences his ideas"
as to the most important needs of the
state. He dealt clearly and convincingly with such problems as educational institutions, prisons, agriculture,
taxation, the state police, workmen's
compensation, primary elections, conservation and. crime prevention.
He advised the Legislature to be
known for'the quality, rather than
the multiplicity of their enactments
and- brought great applause when he
said, "There-Will be no Representative
or Senator on the floor of either
chamber authorized to speak for me.
HI have any communication to make
to you, either Individually or collectively, I'll make it in person."
Referring to the Administrative
Board act, Governor Green urged an
amendment to give the members the
power to override the1 gubernatorial
veto. He declared, "The provision of
the present law that makes it necessary for the Governor to sign all proceedings before they become legal
made dummies of the other members
of the1 Board/,'

Among the list of names of the

J. Lacy, a former resident of Clare,
who is now chief counsel, for Senator

One of the saddest deaths in the
vicinity of Clare for some time occurred last Saturday when Mrs. Silas L.
Davis departed this life aT her home
on south Maple street leaving twelve
children, ranging in age from two
years up, one pair of twins having
died soon after birth last Saturday
morning.
Lydia Jane Wing was born July
29th, 1885, in Evart township Osceola
county, Michigan, and passed to her
reward at Clare January 8th, 1927,
aged 41 years, 5 months and 10 days.
At the age of 11 she moved with
her parents to Highlan township,
Osceola county, where on February
10th, 1901, she was united in marriage
to Silas L. Davis. This union was
blessed with sixteen children, eight
boys and eight girls, of whom two
pair of twin boys and girls died in infancy.
She leaves to mourn their loss her
husband, twelve children, an aged
father and mother, two brothers and
two sisters and many other friends.
She was a kind and loving wife and
mother and time only will tell how
she will be missed by those who were
near and dear to her.
• Funeral services were conducted
Monday at the home by Wm. S. Teeter and interment made in Cherry
Grove cemetery.
The husband and family have the
sympathy of the community in this
sad hour.

• for Preserve.
Mr. Lacy was city attorney of
Clare for a number of years, and although*' a Democrat in politics, was
elected mayor of the city for four
consecutive terms. It was during the
time he was mayor that our splendid
-system of waterworks was installed,
and this was accomplislied in the
face of opposition from practically all
of the business men and heaviest taxpayers, when first proposed by Mr.
Lacy.
Mr. Lacy.left Clare in 1909, and has
been very successful in his practice
in Detroit, and came into prominence
through his work in the Domestic Relations Court in that city.
His last public appearance in Clare
was in 1922 when he officiated as
toastmaster at the Bankers convention.
BARRED OWL KILLED
EAST OF CLARE
Leslie   McNeill   Kills    What  is
Th6ught to be an Attic Bird
A great barred owl, with a wing
spread of five feet was shot, recently,
by Leslie McNeil, a lad of seventeen,
while hunting for rabbits about two
miles east of Clare.
Local sportsmen state they never
saw an owl marked like this one in
Michigan, as it has the bar markings
on all of its feathers, even on the
breast and under the wings.
It is thought to be one of the
snowy owls that have come from the
arctic region. George White, the
jeweler is having it mounted.
One thousand balsam, spruce and
cedar trees, from two to six feet in
height, designed for transplanting on
the eighty acre bird and" game refuge
and preserve, which R. H. Scott of the
Reo Motor Company, of Lansing, is
building just south of the Mt, Hope
cemetery in that city, and which were
being transported on a forty-five foot
auto body carrjdng truck, left Clare
late Friday morning.   .
Jack E. Myers, of Harrison, had
taken the trees from his land northwest of Harrison and the roots were
encased in lar'ge ■• lumps of earth,
which was frozen in a solid block.
Mr. Myers has had considerable experience in handling evergreen trees
and furnished the forty-five foot tree,
which was used as the municipal tree
in Detroit last Christmas.
He states that these trees will all
live' if provided with sufficient moisture and he is also very enthusiastic
over the conservation plans of Mr.
Scott in thus providing a refuge for
game and birds so "near the city of
Lansing.
Myers also had a large cedar log
and stump on the truck, which is to be
used in the show window of Van hardware in Lansing for a camp lire scene.

MAN FOUND !
DEAD IN BED
Herman O'Dell, of Detroit,
Dies Suddenly at Erwio's
Landing at Stevenson's   Lake.
Saturday evening,' January 15th, a
dance will be held at the Nester
Gleaner hall. Music by the Gladwin
County Footwarmers,
Lunch will be served.
The coroners jury at Mt. Pleasant,
Saturday forenoon rendered a verdict,
that Herman Odell, of Detroit, died a
natural death superinduced by the
long and constant use of alcohol.
Benjamini Kramp and August
Rahnel, of Detroit, with another
friend, whose name was not learned,
were planning a hunting trip to Isabella county, and had made arrangements to stay at the farin on the
shore of Stevenson Lake, "which is
known as the Joe Hendrie or Andrew
Irwin place, and which w as purchased
about one year ago by Barney Miotka,
of Detroit, and where Oscar Presley
and Gene Potter have been employed
as caretakers for some time.
The friend who expected to come
with them, found it impossible to arrange the trip, so Kramp and Rahnel
invited Herman Odell, a . man they
knew as an habitual drinker, but
whom they thought they might be
able to help in curbing his appetite
if they could get him away from, the
city for a time.
The only liquor these three men
brought, when they came to the
Miotka place last week, was one
bottle, which Odell had in his possession.
These three men hunted rabbits in
the vicinity of Stevenson Lake, but
Odell's physical condition prevented
him from taking long trips, and he
tif-ed easily.
The five men played cards until ten
o'clock Wednesday night, when Odell
went to his room. About midnight,
Rahnel, who was to sleep with Odell,
went to the room and found him dead.
Two of the men- drove to Clare and
notified Andrew Irwin, who called
Coroner Bronstetter, of Mt. Pleasant.
The coroner and Sheriff .William
Hess went to the place Thursday
morning, and in the afternoon a jury
was called. During the investigation,
the sheriff found a complete still and
parts of a sectgid'one, together with
quantities . of moonshine whiskey.
Presley and ' Potter, the caretakers
were arrested on a charge of liquor
l&W violation, and taken to the county
jail at Mt. Pleasanfi. The coroners inquest was adjourned until ten o'clock
Saturday morning, and the body of
Odell removed to Coroner Bronstet-
ter's where an autopsy Mas held,late
Thursday night, with a chemist from
the Btate department present.
After the coroner's inquest had
beeh adjourned, the sheriff left Kramp
and Rahnel in charge of the house
and premises. As it grew colder in
the evening, they built a fire in the'
heating stove and as the wood was
green and wet, they put some kerosene in the stove. A good fire was
the result, but in a short time fire
was discovered around the chimney
in the second story of the house.
The Clare fire department was cal-
led and did all that was possible under the circumstances but were unable to save the building. The loss
is reported at about 5,000 dollars
with partial insurance.'

Editor Sentinel:—
As you asked Mack Leeth and myself to write you, Mack wants me to
write you today so I will try and tell
you how we are spending bur New
Year's day only it is a day late as
Mack, Ray Garver and Mert Hutchinson were all up in the .mountains
working and I was busy with our inventory January 1st, so we are celebrating new years today.
It is 64 in the shade and we decided
to come up in the hills for a picnic
so Mack and family and my wife and
I drove up the South Saint Urain
canyon aliout four miles to the mouth
qf Dead Man's Gulch and' had our
dinner and are loafing around without
coats, and too warm at that. The
women are doing all 'the talking, as
usual. Mack is feeling fine having
gained 26 pounds since coming to
Lyons.
This is certainly a great country for
scenery and climate and nearly every
one that comes for health are much
improved. As for scenery it is beyond description. I believe Mr. and
Mrs. I. E. Hampton will verify my
statement that we have as fine
scenery around Lyons and Estes Park
as there is in Colorado and many
tourists tell us that the Rocky Mountain National Park region is better
than the Yellow Stone National Park.
As we are setting here can see the
rock ledges hundreds of feet high all
around us and as warm as many days
in the summer. We feel that we are as
well satisfied as if we were in Florida with nothing but sand and the improvements made by men to look at.
From our porch at Lyons we have
a fine view of the mountains, some
over 14,000 feet high. Lyons is surrounded by mountains and very high
hills and we have one- of the finest
tourist parks in Colorado, being almost enclosed wjth high rock ledges
with a beautiful river on three sides.
The city water is from the snow
banks and glaciers high up in the
hills and is very soft.
Well I guess this is enough for this
time.
Come out and see us'and see for
yourself what this country is like.
This is winter in Dead Man's Gulch
Louth Saint Urain Canyon.

A dance will be given at the I. O. O.

music and good order. Everybody invited.
'The tractor school held at the
Thompson and Wilkinson Implement
store Wednesday by the International
Harvester Co., under the direction of
Judd Duryee, of Alma, their block
manager, was very successful and attended by more than one hundred interested farmers and tractor owners
in the vicinity of Clare.
During the .forenoon an International tractor, which had been taken
down, was re-assembled by Mechanics Joseph Egerer and Leslie Chase,
while Benjamin Gleason explained
every part and unit of the machine,
and the manner in which it should be
handled and cared for. He explained
how faults in manufacture and construction in previous years had been
corrected, until the present tractor
has been brought up to such a standard of perfection, that it would
seem impossible to improve upon any
part of it.
At noon, lunch was served in the
K. of P. hall, and after which, several
reels of moving pictures were shown
and talks on general agricultural
problems were given by Walter Rix,
This is the fifth year that the International Harvester Company has held
a tractor school in Clare and from the
large attendance, it seems to be appreciated by the Clare farmers.

The Clare high school baskot ball
team, won from Evart last Friday, by
a score of 24 to -13, and lost to the
Mt. Pleasant Indian sch'-ol, Wednesday by a score of 28 to It
The game at Evart was fast, and a
very interesting one, but the Clare
toys proved their superiority throughout the game, and with , good team
wo'rk, kept the ball in their possession the greater part of the time.
The line up for this game was as
follows:
Clare

LONG FOUND
NOT GUILTY
Capais Case Tried  in  Circuit Court Last Week Before Judge Ray Hart.
The jury in the Capais case of
Ellis Hughes against Clarence W.
Long, which was tried last week in
the Clare County Circuit Court at Harrison ^greed upon a verdict of no
cause for action at twelve-thirty Saturday morning after lieing out for
four hours.
This damage suit grew out of an
alleged statutory offense on the part
of Long who was pastor of the Congregational church' at Harrison,
against Bertha Hughes the wife Of
Ellis Hughes, a merchant of Harrison.
Witnesses for the Plaintiff claimed
the offense took place near the
Hughes cottage at ^.rnold lake, August third last, but the defense offered testimony to prove an alibi and denied any impr6per relations.
The case attracted great attention
throughout the county and the court
room was crowded for every session.
Hughes made the complaint last
October and the clergyman spent one
night in the county jail and was released on a four thousand dollar
bond. He was arrested later on a
criminal warrant on the complaint of
Hughes. This case is still pending in
the Circuit court.'
In the last quarter A,. Parker substituted for Thayer, who went .'out 'of
the game on four personal fouls, and
Parker played at Center, while W.
Johnson took Thayer's place at running guard.
Field goals for Clare: W. Johnson,
4; H. B. Johnson, 4;  Grover, 3. Free'
throws,  W.   Johnson,   4;   Thayer,   3;
Grover,  3.    Free  throws   successful,
W. Johnson, 2.
The Indian school have *a strong
team this year, being, the same line
up as last year, and won their first
game of the season from Central
Normal Reserves. They went through.
Clare's guards, time and again for a
chance at the basket. They, are very
fast and had exceptional team work,
but most of their field goals were
made at long range, which proves
that either they have practiced at
this style of- basket shooting until-
they have become adepts at the art,
or else "Lady Luck" was with them.
On the other hand, good fortune did
not seem to be with Clare, but many
of their best chances at the basket
came so close that tne irowd almost
held their breath, and men rolled off'
the rim.
The Clare reserves won from the
Indian reserves in the preliminary
game by a score of 12 ti> 9.
The line up for tr>.e fir.-Jt team game

A CORRECTION.
It was reported in the issue of the
Sentinel under date of January
seventh, that taxpayers are paying
taxes the second time because of an
alleged shortage in the ■ records of
Surrey township treaurer's office.
The amount stated was three
thousand dollars, but on investigation
It is found to be considerable less
later checking. David McGoogan, the
township treasurer, who collected the
1923 tax/and died in 1924, is not blamed for shortage.
f r    I
