one inch in length when placed in
the ponds May 20th, came through
the rearing season with a very small
loss.

GRANT TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY
GET-TOGETHER NEXT FRIDAY
In the razing of the building on
McEwan street, for many years used
as a tire and battery shop, and recently sold by H. J. Foster to Fred Busche
and later to Byron Geller, of Detroit,
a former Clare attorney, a relic of
days gone by was brought to the light
of day. It was the vault built into
this building in the early 1900's when
the Citizens Bank of Clare was first
organized as a private bank by the
late Fred Lister. George Benner,
cashier, and Rev. Goodman, bookkeeper of the bank, have also passed on to
their reward.
After the demise of Mr. Lister,
when the bank had been in existence
about five years, Mr. Benner interested William Haly, Dr. A. E.Mulder,
James Duncan, John W. Calkins, and
Nelson Bloom in organizing the institution as a State bank, and o\\ December 22nd, 1908, a meetinng was
held for this purpose. The organization was completed with the above
six gentlemen and Tudor Schunk,
Anna. E. Mussell and William H. Virtue the original stockholders, and Mr.
Benner cashier.
January 21st, 1909, the bank applied
for its first State Charter, which was
granted March 10th of that year, and
the institution has since been conducted as The Citizens State Bank of
Clare,
Later the controlling interest in the
bank was acquired by Albert E.
Sleeper, who subsequently became
Governor of the State of Michigan,
Lincoln Avery, James McCall and D.
McNair, the latter serving as cashier
until 1911.
In 1911 James S. Bicknell purchased
the controlling interest in the bank
and became cashier, holding this position until relinquishing it to his sons
a few years ago. Mr. Bicknell is still
serving as president of the institution.
Of the original stockholders in the
bank, only two still remain in Clare,
Dr. Mulder practicing dentistry here
and Mrs. Mussell having retired from
the drug business conducted by the
Mussell family for many years.
The bank vault, which hi recent
years has been used as a battery
charging room, was a sturdy example
of the masonry of a generation ago
and Caused the building wreckers
some difficulty in dismantling.
The old building has practically all
been torn down and a new thirty-five
foot cement block extension is being
built at the rear of the original walls.
A new buffi face brick and plate glass
front will be installed, new floor laid,
and new heating, lighting and plumbing equipment will be installed.
Harold Moline is the general contractor.
Local Rebekahs
to Attend Church
Services Sunday
Blanche Hill, Assembly President,
has issued a proclamation to all Rebekah lodges to observe September
20th, as the 90th anniversary of
Rebekah Odd Fellowship. In accordance with this, the local Rebekah
lodge has made arrangements to attend church services Sunday morning
at 10:00 o'clock at the Clare Methodist Church, when Dr. Hall will recognize them and deliver a fine sermon.
Every Rebekah should make an effort
to attend this service and be in front
of the church at 9:50 for the line-up,
to march in.
Correspon den ts
On too many occasions in the past,
community news has arrived in the
Sentinel office too late for publication.
By the time this news has been held
over a week it has lost its news value
and in the future any such news, unless of vital Importance, will find its
way to the editor's waste basket. You
are urgently requested to cooperate in
this matter. 50t2

Miss Erma Eberhart, thirteen y"_a-*
old Clare High School Freshman, oi

automobile accident one mile east of
Clare on old US-10, Sunday evening.
She was riding with Lester Davis,
20, also of Clare R-2, who was driving?
west on the county line road, when
the car struck a dog and the drive*
lost control. The car ran into the
ditch on the south side of the road and
traveled quite a ways before it rari
into a drain ditch with steep banks/
When the front of the car struck the
opposite side "of the drain ditch it
stopped instantly, throwing the pass*
engers against the inside of the caiv
A tire was blown out, apparently
when the car passed over some large
rocks along the roadside.
The injured were brought to the
Clare County General Hospital here,
where examination revealed that Miss
Eberhart had sustained a broken nose
and a severe cut extending across the
forehead oyer both eyes, and it was
feared her«"> skull was fractured. She
remained in a very serious condition
until Wednesday, but Thursday was
reported from the hospital as getting
along much better and that her con*
dition was much improved. Davis was-
cut on the chin and had several teeth
broken.
The accident was  investigated by
State Police of the Mt. Pleasant Post,
Clare Girl Injured at Wolverine
Miss Ann Morgan, of this city, was1
injured in an auto accident near WoV
verine at about 6:00 o'cIock Monda/
evening, when she was forced to drive*
her car into a ditch, by another car, on
a sharp curve, and the Morgan car
rolled over several times.
Although not seriously injured, as
was first reported here, she was cut-
and severely bruised, and Harry For-
tino, of Mt. Pleasant, who was riding'
with her, was cut and bruised. The'
injured were rushed, to a Petoskey
hospital and brought from there to*
theiivhomes-Tuesday evening. "Annie,"'
as she is known to her many friends
here, still felt quite sore and bruised
Thursday afternoon, but is recovering"
nicely.

accident occurred. The car was com-'

Leo Hampton Wins Seventh Twin
Elms Golf Club Championship
With Old Sol beaming approvingly
down on Twin Elms Course last Sunday, defending Club Champion Leo
Hampton confidently strode forth to
meet this year's "dai*k horse" contender, Ed Johnson, and well might
he be confident for the players were to
be caddied by two other members of
the Hampton clan, Bernie and Jesse,
respectively. The caddies were attired
in the costumes of Alpine mountaineers, presumably to guide their younger brother, Leo, to the heights of
golfdom.
The natural outcome was that Leo
defeated Ed. 9-8, even if it did take
the whole Hampton family to do it,
and Ed. has resolved never to attempt
to outplay the three brothers again,
not even if they will let him play with
his little red cane instead of his golf
clubs. Incidentally, this is the seventh
time Leo has won the championship
in the ten years of the club's history.
In the championship consolation
Flight Ed. Roach defeated Mort.
Gallagher 2-1 on the seventeenth hole
and Homer Douglas 1 up on the
eighteenth hole in a three cornered
match.' Originally Eddy was to have
played the winner of a match between
Homer and. Mort., but the three
cornered watch was decided upon as
a splendid means of deciding the
championship in this flight-,—.___.  .__..

eighteenth hole with Mort. turning the
trick on the nineteenth. As the
writer has contended before, Mort.
can play a good game of golf anywhere, but it is hard to say if he is
at his best on the club house veranda
or in one of the local barber shops.
In the first flight, Dr. Neff and Aus
tin Bates have not as yet played the
deciding match, but if the season is
long enough and these two gentlemen
can turn their attention from their
professional technique on unsuspecting "toothache patients and headache
students," to their amateur golf, it is
hoped this championship can be decided.
In the second flight Maurice Pratt,
handicapped by activities of many
summers, defeated Ace Parker 1 up.
After winning and enjoying the
aroma of the stimulating side bet,
Maurice was good for another
eighteen holes.
In the Tim Cotter Handicap tournament finals, played Thursday, September 11th, Dr. Neff defeated Mort.
Gallagher, who had previously eliminated last year's champion, Leo
Hampton, 4-3.
Believe* it or not, this year's annual
club banquet will be served next
Thursday evening, Septemer 25th, at
the club hoitse, with the "executioner"
drawn from the club's ample list of
after dinner speakers.
Funeral services were held in Mt, .
Pleasant Thursday afternoon, Septem-**
ber 11th, at 2:00 o'clock for Mrs,
Magaret Caple, wife of Walter Caple/
who died Tuesday, September 9th/
following an illness of one week. The
Rev. C. B. Hawkins, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, officiated
at the service and interment in th®
Riverside cemetery at Alma.
Mrs. Caple was born in Canada dis-
July 29, 1876, and had been a resident
of Mt. Pleasant for the past twentyj-
two years. She was a member of t_ie~
Order of Eastern Stars and the First •
Presbyterian church of Mt. Pleasantr-
She was a sister-in-law of William H. -
Caple, of Clare.
Left to mourn their loss is her hus- -

here were Mr. and Mrs. William TT-
