Monday ev.ening the city was shocked to learn of the sudden death of a
long time and well known resident
here, Mr. Eugene Pettit, which occurred very suddenly at his home,
about eight o'clock that evening. Mr.
and Mrs. Pettit were alone in the
home, he had recent come from down
town, jn his usual health and spirits,
when, in crossing the floor, he suddenly fell, and death was practically
instantaneous, from severe cerebral
hemmorrhage.
Charles Eugene Pettit was born
December 25, 1856" at Baldwinsville,
N. Y., and died December 1st, 1930 at
the home Clare, Mich., where he has
resided for the past thirty years.
He came with his parents, to Hemlock, Mich., when he was twelve
years old. Since that time he has resided continuously in this state and
has been connected with the State
Department of Conservation for
twenty-five years.
"Gene" as he was known to all,
without exception, knew every turn
and bend in the many creeks and rivers that flow through this part of the
state and was as equally familiar
with the many lakes that bring hundreds of visitors here each year. Hi_
duties as State Conservation officer
were squarely met and untiring,
meeting the public fair ancl his many
years of service with the state proved
for itself his real worth as one interested in the conserving of our state's
wild life and fish.
Mr. Pettit is survived by the wife,
three sons, Walter and Carl, of this
city, Edward of Mt. Clemens, and
daughter, Maude Pettit, of Lansing,
and a brother R. B. Pettit of Hillsdale.
The funeral service was held in his
home here, Wednesday, at two
o'clock, conducted hy Rev. W. W.
Hurd, and was largely attended by
the many friends of the family, also
some from abroad, representing the
State Conservation Department,
ATTY. DUSENB.RY
OF Ml PLEASANT
KILLEDJAST WEEK
Car-Skids On Pavemeu.t and
Strikes Tree Near
St. Johns
Frank H. Duseiibury, ag.d 52, well
known Mt. Pleasant attorney and former state representative of Isabella
county, died instantly when the car
in which he was riding skidded on an
icy pavement and crashed into a tree
two miles north of St. Johns, about
one o'clock last week Thursday afternoon. Jesse ChingmEfii, who has
been making his home with Mr. and
Mrs. Dusenbury, was driving the car
and is in the St. Johns hospital with
a broken right arm, ligaments on one
knee torn and severe head injuries.
It is expected that he will recover.
There have been two reports as to
who was driving the car at the time
of the accident. The most reliable
evidence seems to be that of Cari
Sfeifert, of St. Johns, who witnessc1
the accident and stated that Chinaman was driving.
Mr. Dusenbury and young Chlug-
man were enroute to St. Johns to
meet the former's son, Blair, a student in the University of Wisconsin,
and return with him to Mt, Pleasant
for the Thanksgiving recess, when
the accident occurred.
They had driven over the same
route during the forenoon as the son
was expected on an earlier bus. Soon
after returning home a wire from
Blair from St. Johns said that he had
been delayed and had come to St.
Johns by a later bus, so his father
and Chingman started back to mdet
him.
Car Skids Into Tree
The Dusenbury car, according to
reports, had just passed another car,
also going south, at a slight curve in
the highway, and in turning back to
the right side of the road, the car
skidded, turning half way around and
hitting a tree on the driver's side.
The car, after the impact, went nearly around the tree before stopping.
The automobile was a total wreck.
Blair Dusenbury, who was waiting
for his father in St. Johns, called his
mother in Mt. Pleasant, to And out
where his father was. He was in*
formed that Mr. Dusenbury had been
gone long enough to have reached St,
Johns. After leaving the telephone,
Blair heard of an accident, and upon
investigation discovered the tragic
end to what had been planned as a
happy holiday re-union. Mrs Dusenbury upon being informed of the
tragedy went to St. Johns immediately, accompanied by G. Jay Stinson, returning with the body of Mr. Dusenbury.
Mr. Dusenbury has practiced in
Clare county many times since his
admission-to the bar and his friends
in this vicinity regret his tragic death.
CHARLES HEBER FIRST
BUYER OF CHRISTMAS SEALS .
IN CLARE COUNTY
Charles Seber, R. F. D. No. 1, Harrison, was the first person in Clare
county to buy Christmas seals this
years, the Michigan tuberculosis Association reports. Envelopes containing money for his seals a.riVed at the
Association's office in' Lansing shortly after the open'us of the sale on
Thanksgiving Day.
Basing their opinions on th. first
several day's returns in the" seal, sale,
officials of the Michigan Tuberculosis
Association expressed the, hope that
the 1930 sale would be as successful
as those carried on in' preceding
years, , -
"Envelopes that have been opened
to date seem to indicate that people
who have a reasonably steady income
are buying seals more liberally than
ever", T. J. Werle, 'executive secretary said. "We hope that this trend
will continue as the sale progresses,
to make up for the defection of those
who bought seals in other years but
who simply are unable to "make their
, usual purchase at this time, much as
they would like to do sq<"

SPLENDID PAPERS
ABOUT CHRISTMAS
GIVENJT CLUB
Members Also Plan For Activities During Coming
Holiday Season
A very good Christmas program
was enjoyed by the Clare Study Club
at the home of Mrs. A. E. Wylie on
Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Helen Hurd gave us some real
information on the way Christmas is
observed in other countries.' Some
make of Christmas merely a gay holiday but in most of the countries the
religious significance of the day is
stressed. Most all countries observe
the season in some way.
An interesting Christmas story of
Miphigan trappers Which has never
appeared in print and of which taere
were only two manuscript copies'
made was given by Mrs. Ethel
Schlegel. Mrs, Schlegel's talent is of
no mean order and everyone was most
attentive as she recited the long
story in her auiet voice.
Discussion of the unemployment
situation brought out the fact that
eight women who need work- have
registered with Mrs. Hochstetler. We
would like to have some who need
help leave their., names »' also. This
movement is in accordance with a request which came from Washington
to the National Federation of
Women's Glubs. Our little Club has
been requested to do its part.
The- Club will sponsor the giving
of Christmas baskets to. those In
need. Baked goods^will Be .heeeesary.

LOGGING BILL
TO COME BEFORE
LEGISLATURE
Would Be-Aimed Primarily
At First Offenders
Says Prosecutor
A bill to have flogging Incorporated in the Michigan criminal code for
the punishment of law violators, particularly first, offenders, will be Introduced in the legislature when it
convenes according to Prosecutor
Frank C. Miller of Ionia county.
The prosecutor as chairman of a
sub-committee of the crime commission attempted recently to have the
proposal submitted in a draft of
changes to the code which the commission will present to the legislature,
but no action was taken. He states
many of the prosecutors are favorable
to the suggestion and that they will
take action to have a measure introduced independently.
Miller believes whipping posts
would have a salutary effect on first
offenders.
"It would take some of the 'glory' istrator
out of the crime that many first of- vester Pheney, attorney for

ROAD TO CLARE GAS
FIELD TO BE KEPT
OPEN DURINl WINTER
During the early fall The Sentinel
suggested through its columns that
the highway leading to the gas ,field
in Grant and Surrey townships receive some attention whereby workmen and parties having thousands of
dollars invested could- travel to watch
present development.
We take the Same privilege to
publically announce to. our many
readers and those interested that
Grant township and the county immediately repaired this road, and
have same in condition so that tha
snow plow can keep the path free
from snow this winter, The men are
to be commended for their public
spirit as the drilling in this section
of the county is keenly watched by
many of the large companies and an
open highway will make development
during the winter months possible.

'Prison sentences seem to be taken by! fendante were allowed to amend their
many as citations that prove their ex-'.answer and the case preceeded to be
perience and advance them, much as
an apprentice is advanced in a new
trade. The humiliation attendant
upon a whipping might bring an end
to that. At least let us try it. We
have tried almost everything else, and
nothing has managed to check the
steadily rising tide of crime."
The prosecutor points out that flogging has already been brought baek
by several states. He would have the
lashes administered in public.

SUPREME. '
RULES AGAINST
INDIAN CLAIMS
Says Citizens Must All Observe Same Hunting and
Fishing Laws
Right of American Indians to hunt
and fish in Michigan forests and
streams without regard for the state's'
game laws was denied Tuesday by
the state supreme court.
The case was a test action brought
by James J. Chosa and Basil- Attikons, members of the L'Anse tribe
in the Upper Peninsula. The tribesmen contended that the terms of an
old government treaty gave them the
right to hunt and fish at will. In passing on the case the court said that
Indians are subject to the laws of the
state and that:
"When one become a citizen of the
United States he casts off the rights
and- obligations of his former nationality and takes on those which pertain to other citizens of the country,—

While driving to Mt. Pleasant last
Friday evening John Howlett, of this
city met with an accident ,four miles
north of that city which is said to he
almost a miracle that he escaped .
with his life.
Mr. Howlett had gone to Mt. Pleasant on plumbing business when he
discovered a small light about the
size of a dollar moving along the
center of the road. Naturally he turned his car to the right side in order
to prevent running into it. Suddenly
he discovered a truck, said to be owned by the Valley Chemical Co., of Mt,
Pleasant, running without lights, He
swerved his car to the left in an effort to miss the truck aud went off
the pavement turning two and one-
half times over and landing on the
bank on the opposite side of the
ditch.
Although cut about the arms and
his body badly bruised Howlett
managed to extricate himself from _
the badly wrecked car and was taken

The gas strike was made on the

the Gibson-Johnson-Borden company.
The first show of gas was made when
the drill had only penetrated into the
Marshall sand. Drilling was checked
at a depth of a little more than 1,300
feet, when the well started to make

It was expected that opera torr
would complete the well at the present depth. The gasser will be shut-

Mr. and Mrs. Pettit were alone in the home, he had recent come from down town, jn his usual health and spirits, when, in crossing the floor, he suddenly fell, and death was practically instantaneous, from severe cerebral hemmorrhage. Charles Eugene Pettit was born December 25, 1856" at Baldwinsville, N. Y., and died December 1st, 1930 at the home Clare, Mich., where he has resided for the past thirty years. He came with his parents, to Hemlock, Mich., when he was twelve years old. Since that time he has resided continuously in this state and has been connected with the State Department of Conservation for twenty-five years. "Gene" as he was known to all, without exception, knew every turn and bend in the many creeks and rivers that flow through this part of the state and was as equally familiar with the many lakes that bring hundreds of visitors here each year. Hi_ duties as State Conservation officer were squarely met and untiring, meeting the public fair ancl his many years of service with the state proved for itself his real worth as one interested in the conserving of our state's wild life and fish. Mr. Pettit is survived by the wife, three sons, Walter and Carl, of this city, Edward of Mt. Clemens, and daughter, Maude Pettit, of Lansing, and a brother R. B. Pettit of Hillsdale. The funeral service was held in his home here, Wednesday, at two o'clock, conducted hy Rev. W. W. Hurd, and was largely attended by the many friends of the family, also some from abroad, representing the State Conservation Department, ATTY. DUSENB.RY OF Ml PLEASANT KILLEDJAST WEEK Car-Skids On Pavemeu.t and Strikes Tree Near St. Johns Frank H. Duseiibury, ag.d 52, well known Mt. Pleasant attorney and former state representative of Isabella county, died instantly when the car in which he was riding skidded on an icy pavement and crashed into a tree two miles north of St. Johns, about one o'clock last week Thursday afternoon. Jesse ChingmEfii, who has been making his home with Mr. and Mrs. Dusenbury, was driving the car and is in the St. Johns hospital with a broken right arm, ligaments on one knee torn and severe head injuries. It is expected that he will recover. There have been two reports as to who was driving the car at the time of the accident. The most reliable evidence seems to be that of Cari Sfeifert, of St. Johns, who witnessc1 the accident and stated that Chinaman was driving. Mr. Dusenbury and young Chlug- man were enroute to St. Johns to meet the former's son, Blair, a student in the University of Wisconsin, and return with him to Mt, Pleasant for the Thanksgiving recess, when the accident occurred. They had driven over the same route during the forenoon as the son was expected on an earlier bus. Soon after returning home a wire from Blair from St. Johns said that he had been delayed and had come to St. Johns by a later bus, so his father and Chingman started back to mdet him. Car Skids Into Tree The Dusenbury car, according to reports, had just passed another car, also going south, at a slight curve in the highway, and in turning back to the right side of the road, the car skidded, turning half way around and hitting a tree on the driver's side. The car, after the impact, went nearly around the tree before stopping. The automobile was a total wreck. Blair Dusenbury, who was waiting for his father in St. Johns, called his mother in Mt. Pleasant, to And out where his father was. He was in* formed that Mr. Dusenbury had been gone long enough to have reached St, Johns. After leaving the telephone, Blair heard of an accident, and upon investigation discovered the tragic end to what had been planned as a happy holiday re-union. Mrs Dusenbury upon being informed of the tragedy went to St. Johns immediately, accompanied by G. Jay Stinson, returning with the body of Mr. Dusenbury. Mr. Dusenbury has practiced in Clare county many times since his admission-to the bar and his friends in this vicinity regret his tragic death. CHARLES HEBER FIRST BUYER OF CHRISTMAS SEALS .

Basing their opinions on th. first several day's returns in the" seal, sale, officials of the Michigan Tuberculosis Association expressed the, hope that the 1930 sale would be as successful as those carried on in' preceding years, , - "Envelopes that have been opened to date seem to indicate that people who have a reasonably steady income are buying seals more liberally than ever", T. J. Werle, 'executive secretary said. "We hope that this trend will continue as the sale progresses, to make up for the defection of those who bought seals in other years but who simply are unable to "make their , usual purchase at this time, much as they would like to do sq<" COLEMAN BRINGS TWO TEAMS HERE FOR TUESDAY NITE AH Forrner Basket Ball Players Expected On Floor For First Game Coach Alldread and his score of prospective basket ball players have spent considerable time fitting themselves to make their first public appearance this season in the local gym next Tuesday night.

LOGGING BILL TO COME BEFORE LEGISLATURE Would Be-Aimed Primarily At First Offenders Says Prosecutor A bill to have flogging Incorporated in the Michigan criminal code for the punishment of law violators, particularly first, offenders, will be Introduced in the legislature when it convenes according to Prosecutor Frank C. Miller of Ionia county. The prosecutor as chairman of a sub-committee of the crime commission attempted recently to have the proposal submitted in a draft of changes to the code which the commission will present to the legislature, but no action was taken. He states many of the prosecutors are favorable to the suggestion and that they will take action to have a measure introduced independently. Miller believes whipping posts would have a salutary effect on first offenders.

The humiliation attendant upon a whipping might bring an end to that. At least let us try it. We have tried almost everything else, and nothing has managed to check the steadily rising tide of crime." The prosecutor points out that flogging has already been brought baek by several states.

' RULES AGAINST INDIAN CLAIMS Says Citizens Must All Observe Same Hunting and Fishing Laws Right of American Indians to hunt and fish in Michigan forests and streams without regard for the state's' game laws was denied Tuesday by the state supreme court. The case was a test action brought by James J. Chosa and Basil- Attikons, members of the L'Anse tribe in the Upper Peninsula. The tribesmen contended that the terms of an old government treaty gave them the right to hunt and fish at will. In passing on the case the court said that Indians are subject to the laws of the state and that: "When one become a citizen of the United States he casts off the rights and- obligations of his former nationality and takes on those which pertain to other citizens of the country,— Ex.
