Nearly two weeks ago an argument
occurred between Chris Loeffler, of
Surrey township and Bruce Pelch, of
Farwell, which is said to have ended
in a fistic encounter.
The outcome of the affair "was that
Mr. Loeffler swore out. a complaint
charging Mr. Pelch for assault' and
battery. At the hearing held before
Justice Callihan last week Wednesday the complainant failed to make
his appearance and the case was dismissed. In turn the defendant immediately swore out a warrant
against Mr. Loeffler charging him
with slander and upon being foun'di
guilty before Justice Callihan Wednesday was assessed a cost of $10,00
and fined $25.00 or thirty days in the
county _ail.
The sentence *was suspended upon
the payment of the costs and the defendant placed upon probation for
six mouths.
$212.99 $271.84

Clare -High had their war clubs all
polished' up for an attack upon the
offerings of Gladwin pitchers and at
the concluding of .six and •one-half
innings of play had batted out nine
hits for seven scores. Gladwin made
only two hits off the offerings of the
Clare pitchers, Montgomery and
Alien,
. The game- was a lively affair with
good pitching and good field work.
Montgomery pitched good ball ancl
had good support. Several times the
ball took long, flights to the outfield
but Don Dalton or Bill Murphy was
always there. But in the third inning
he got into a little trouble which was
first started hy an error, then a hit
batsman and becoming a bit wild he
walked a man filling the bases. Two
men were out when Lyle Allen was
called in from second base to stop the
wildness of the game. With no
chance for a good warm-up he walked the first man to face him giving
Gladwin an unearned run. The next
batter was an easy out.
Lyle pitched good ball the rest of
the way and allowed them only two
hits. One of these, coupled with an
error by Murphy when he allowed a
ground ball to roll through his legs
into deep left field, gave them their
seconcl score.
Clare got busy in their half of the
first inning to score two runs on a hit
by Dalton and a triple by Allen and
an out. The boys scored in every inning but one. • In one inning four
runs were scored and there were
three men on base Avhen the last out
was made.
Lyle Allen, Norris Blystone and
Donald Dalton each made two hits
and the other three were by Herrick,
Lamb and Montgomery. Three errors were made by each team.

Mrs. Lockyer's Sunday School class
of girls of the Methodist Church delightfully entertained their mothers
at a "6:30 o'clock banquet in the parlors of the church Monday evening.
Mrs. Lockyer is very much interested in these girls and arranged the
affairs as being appropriate to tliis
time of year honoring the girls, and
their gttests.
The banquet table was most attractive with red and white decorations, lighted red tapers and a
beautiful bouquet of roses as a center
piece. The delicious meal of baked
ham, creamed potatoes ancl manj*
other good things including angel food
cake was served under the able direction of Mrs. Carl Holbrook.
Mrs. Lockyer in her pleasing way,
acted ,xs toastmaster and before taking up the program of the evening,
expressed her appreciation of the
splendid cooperation of the girls ancl
their mothers in making the banquet
a success and voiced again her interest in work of this kind.
Doris Ramey in behalf of tl_e class,
welcomed the mothers and expressed
her sentiments toward mother in a
beautiful poem "My Mother" by Jane
Taylor, the last stanza which read,
"When thou art feeble, old and,
gray,
My healthy arms shall be thy stay
And I will sooth thy pains away,
my mother
And when I see thee hang thy head
Twill be~my time to watch thy bed
And tears of sweet affection shed,
My Mother."
Not only does a mother mean •much,
to a, daughter, but a daughter is, a
very important part of a mother's
life, said Mrs. Doan, Who very graciously responded to the mother's welcome. She too, read .several very appropriate poems expressing the close
association of mother and daughter,
and how this fellowship grows as the,
years gc on.
Ethel Coulter gave a reading "Aunt
Tabita" by Oliver Wendell Holmes
and Marguerite Breen sang sweetly
"My Mother-'s Love", accompanied by
Mrs. Lockyer at the piano.

OWNERSHIP OF
NINE HEAD OF
CATnTIN COURT
Fairbanks and Wilson Under Heavy Bonds Awaiting Outcome of Accused Crime
Justice Call:han"s Court was in
session all day Saturday with a
criminal case, The People vs. Ruel
W. Fairbanks and Delbert Wilson, a
Justice's Examination held before
transferring the case to the Circuit
Court. '
The defendants stand accused of
the crime of Grand Larceny ancl are
charged with feloniously stealing and
carrying away nine head of cattle,
the property of Calvin Hoover of
Sheridan township.
The absence of the cattle was not
noticed from the Hoover farm until
late Thursday afternoon. Early the
following morning Mr. Hoover consulted with Prosecuting Attorney
Bowler after which he macle complaint on oath before Justice Callihan charging Fairbanks and another,
whom he knew only as John Doe,
with the theft. Later John Doe proved to be Wilson.
As soon as the warrant was issued
the County officers went into action
ancl before many hours had elapsed
Officers Crouse and Erter had both
men in the local jail where they remained until Saturday morning.
When the parties met before Justice Callihan they were represented
by Attorney E. Wylie. Both demanded an examination which was set for
one o'clock. They were remanded to
the custody of Officer Crouse until
that time.
In the examination which followed
Attorney Bowler called as witness for
the prosecution Mr. Hoover and hi;.
hired man, Thomas Sperice. The cit-
tie were described, Mr. Hoover testified that he owned' them and nuny
•facts damaging to the defense were
brought out. /
After these -two witnesses .were
sworn and had testified' the defense
decided that further examination
Would be Waived and Justice Callihan bound both men over to the. Circuit Court, first placing them under
heavy bond.
The matter is now before Judge
Hart and it is expected that .the
parties will be tried before him at
the June term next .month. If convicted the men will undoubtedly be
placed where they can do no harm to
society for some time to Come.

chairman is former State Representative "Dick" Emerson; Secretary-
Mrs. Madge Lamb of Farwell, who is
the Red Cross Chairman of that village. The other three members are
Asa Aldrich of Harrison, * County
School Commissioner, Thomas Dor-
|sey, Judge of Probate and John Burnett, chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
A competent staff of workers has
been selected based on their qualifications to do the work expected. John
E. Lockyer, of Clare, is a graduate
of DePauw University and of the
Garrett Bibical Institute, Northwestern University ancl a former student of Professor Graham Taylor ot
the Chicago School of Civics and
Philanthrophy. M. VanAvery, of Harrison, is a graduate of the University
of Michigan and Mrs. Norma Pratt,
of Clare, is a trained worker in health
and welfare. Training in health and
public welfare at Ann Arbor, Lansing
and Lynn, Mass. These are the Caseworkers. Such a competent - staff
deserves the fullest cooperation ot
every citizen.
The committee and the director
were in Lansing' on Tuesday an*
were informed that if the county continues Ihe organization as set up they
will give us ?19,000 for the months ot
May and June, provided it can be
shown on the office records that
there is that much emergency need
in the county. This money is Federal
money and is loaned the State ot
Michigan from Washington.
By the end of the week, the merchants of the- county will have received thousands of dollars on bills due
them for Februar.y and March arM
hundreds of the customers will find
their bills receipted for groceries,
clothing, shoes, rent and medical
care.
A good deal of misunderstanding
exists regarding the work being done
on M-61. The fact is that the work
done on that road is supposed to be
relief work on the part of men who
would rather Avork than be otherwise
supported and that policy Will 18©"
strictly followed in the future. All
persons who want work in the future
under the R. F. C, must register their
names with the office on McEwan St.
Clare, or thru their township supervisors Who will gladly send it to
headquarters.
The R. F. C. will feed the hungry,
clothe the naked, house the homeless
and give labor to the unemployed it
they know w;ho are in that conditio*-.
It is therefore apparent that the lt-
F. C. will supply the needy of the
County Poor Commission when that
organization is out of funds. It will
take care of widows and orphans
•vvh'en the Judge of Probate can not
supply uieh- p-iisioh*,. It will JcS-
vide work' for those who must have
some ready cash with which to carry
on, Also garden seeds for home gardens if you have no money.
The Cpunty will be interested ia
knowing that by the end of this -week
the director will have released aliottt
$5,000 to circulate around the county.
'This should stimulate "business. The
.committee ask for themselves .and)
the'staff all the goodwill and cooperation possible.

Gladwin made only two hits off the offerings of the Clare pitchers, Montgomery and Alien, . The game- was a lively affair with good pitching and good field work. Montgomery pitched good ball ancl had good support. Several times the ball took long, flights to the outfield but Don Dalton or Bill Murphy was always there. But in the third inning he got into a little trouble which was first started hy an error, then a hit batsman and becoming a bit wild he walked a man filling the bases. Two men were out when Lyle Allen was called in from second base to stop the wildness of the game. With no chance for a good warm-up he walked the first man to face him giving Gladwin an unearned run. The next batter was an easy out. Lyle pitched good ball the rest of the way and allowed them only two hits. One of these, coupled with an error by Murphy when he allowed a ground ball to roll through his legs into deep left field, gave them their seconcl score. Clare got busy in their half of the first inning to score two runs on a hit by Dalton and a triple by Allen and an out. The boys scored in every inning but one. • In one inning four runs were scored and there were three men on base Avhen the last out was made. Lyle Allen, Norris Blystone and Donald Dalton each made two hits and the other three were by Herrick, Lamb and Montgomery. Three errors were made by each team. -.*- Interesting Bits of News from a Distance " :t G. R.

Fairbanks and Delbert Wilson, a Justice's Examination held before transferring the case to the Circuit Court. ' The defendants stand accused of the crime of Grand Larceny ancl are charged with feloniously stealing and carrying away nine head of cattle, the property of Calvin Hoover of Sheridan township. The absence of the cattle was not noticed from the Hoover farm until late Thursday afternoon. Early the following morning Mr. Hoover consulted with Prosecuting Attorney Bowler after which he macle complaint on oath before Justice Callihan charging Fairbanks and another, whom he knew only as John Doe, with the theft. Later John Doe proved to be Wilson. As soon as the warrant was issued the County officers went into action ancl before many hours had elapsed Officers Crouse and Erter had both men in the local jail where they remained until Saturday morning. When the parties met before Justice Callihan they were represented by Attorney E. Wylie. Both demanded an examination which was set for one o'clock. They were remanded to the custody of Officer Crouse until that time. In the examination which followed Attorney Bowler called as witness for the prosecution Mr. Hoover and hi;. hired man, Thomas Sperice. The cit- tie were described, Mr. Hoover testified that he owned' them and nuny •facts damaging to the defense were brought out. / After these -two witnesses .were sworn and had testified' the defense decided that further examination Would be Waived and Justice Callihan bound both men over to the. Circuit Court, first placing them under heavy bond. The matter is now before Judge Hart and it is expected that .the parties will be tried before him at the June term next .month. If convicted the men will undoubtedly be placed where they can do no harm to society for some time to Come. The Clare and Beaverton Lumber Co., this wee-*: extends an invitation to the public to call at their yards at 'East 2nd street and inspect one Of the nicest pieces of. Michigan Cork Pine that has been seen in this city for many years. The board in question is 36 inches wide,and. 12 foot long and is the property of Edw. Pettit, who' knows his lumber when he sees it."- ALL KINDS OF FURNITURE REPAIRING AND UPHOLSTERING chairman is former State Representative "Dick" Emerson; Secretary- Mrs. Madge Lamb of Farwell, who is the Red Cross Chairman of that village. The other three members are Asa Aldrich of Harrison, * County School Commissioner, Thomas Dor- sey, Judge of Probate and John Burnett, chairman of the Board of Supervisors. A competent staff of workers has been selected based on their qualifications to do the work expected. John E. Lockyer, of Clare, is a graduate of DePauw University and of the Garrett Bibical Institute, Northwestern University ancl a former student of Professor Graham Taylor ot the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthrophy. M. VanAvery, of Harrison, is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Mrs. Norma Pratt, of Clare, is a trained worker in health and welfare. Training in health and public welfare at Ann Arbor, Lansing and Lynn, Mass. These are the Caseworkers. Such a competent - staff deserves the fullest cooperation ot every citizen. The committee and the director were in Lansing' on Tuesday an* were informed that if the county continues Ihe organization as set up they will give us ?19,000 for the months ot May and June, provided it can be shown on the office records that there is that much emergency need in the county. This money is Federal money and is loaned the State ot Michigan from Washington. By the end of the week, the merchants of the- county will have received thousands of dollars on bills due them for Februar.y and March arM hundreds of the customers will find their bills receipted for groceries, clothing, shoes, rent and medical care. A good deal of misunderstanding exists regarding the work being done on M-61. The fact is that the work done on that road is supposed to be relief work on the part of men who would rather Avork than be otherwise supported and that policy Will 18©" strictly followed in the future. All persons who want work in the future under the R. F. C, must register their names with the office on McEwan St. Clare, or thru their township supervisors Who will gladly send it to headquarters. The R. F. C. will feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless and give labor to the unemployed it they know w;ho are in that conditio*-. It is therefore apparent that the lt- F. C. will supply the needy of the County Poor Commission when that organization is out of funds. It will take care of widows and orphans •vvh'en the Judge of Probate can not supply uieh- p-iisioh*,. It will JcS- vide work' for those who must have some ready cash with which to carry on, Also garden seeds for home gardens if you have no money. The Cpunty will be interested ia knowing that by the end of this -week the director will have released aliottt $5,000 to circulate around the county. 'This should stimulate "business. The .committee ask for themselves .and) the'staff all the goodwill and cooperation possible. M-61 Explanation The delay-on paying the latter hall! of April payroll Is due to .the fact that only !f;2,226.25 is-the April balance whilst $3,06T.'50 has been spent leaving a deficit of §835.2*).
