It appeared from the testimony given that Mr. Gier's party was going

going north; that the parties reached
this narrow bridge four miles north
of "Clare at about the same time; that
as  they did so Mr.  McCune, driving
his uncle's car, pulled the Chrysler to

Clare, Michigan.
Dear Senator: ■ *   ■ -
Answering your question as to the
rights which may inure under an oil
lease given by the husband without
the wife's signature, I beg to advise
that it would depend a great deal in
whose name- the title of the land,
which was being leased, appeared. A
lease given hy a. married man and
not signed by his wife is always
questionable. If the land stands in
the name of the husband, the wife has
an iftchoate dower interest.
The  inchoate  rrgnt of dower is a

A Chrysler automoble collided head
on with a Titan tractor on TJ. S.

Wednesday evening just before dark,
and although the tractor was a complete wreck and the car badly damaged no one was injured. ,,
The tractor was the property of]
'Thompson & Wilkinson and was heing
driven to Clare for repairs by one of
tneir employees, and it.e had just stopped the machine intending to go'to the
Hodkinson home to borrow a lantern.
The automobile driven by George.
H. Grifford, of East Lansing, was coming from the north and he did not see
the tractor until they collided.
The frame of the tractor was broken in two places, one large 'wheel
thrown about forty feet and the rest
of the machine demolished in such a
manner that it will probably be sold
for junk.
The front of the automobile is
wrecked but it can be repaired. That
neither driver received even a scratch
Seems almost a miracle.

his good health to the fact that he

He smilingly admitted that it takes

Fire Which originated "in the lumber store room and garage of the
Clare Manufacturing Company's plant
Monday afternoon, threatened the entire plant and but for the prompt and
efficient work of the Clare Fire Department, large damage would have
resulted.
* This store room/' is located on the
north side of the main building and
runs the entire length of that building. A heating stove provides the
heat for this room and as there Was'
no other fire in the room, it is probable that the blaze was caused from
this stove.
R. I. Hether, owner of this factory,
where camp trailers are manufactured, was in the -plant and at once gave
the alarm. The fire fighters were
greatly handicapped by the dense
clouds- of smoke that came from a
quantity of felt 'burning, but they conquered the flames with little damage
caused and this .lpss _s fully covered
by insurance. '
