An Ypsilanti tcombstone dealer is
utilizing our native boulders in the
manufacture of monuments, and they
are said to rival in beauty many of
those built of imported granite. Last
week one weighing 18tonswas excavated
from a farm near Ypsilanti.
Democrat: Tuesday night the wheel
at Foster's mill refused to work and it
was supposed to be out of repair. A
man was sent from here to examine it
when he found that the wheel had become clogged with e els, there being
hundreds in and about it, many of
which had been killed making an oily,
sticky mass so the wheel could not
turn. Where so many eels came from
is a mystery.
A few years ago the road opposite
the Follett house in Ypsilanti broke
through when it was found that underneath the l'oad was a large excavation
which extended considerable distance
under ground, over the top of which
heavy timber has been placed to keep
the earth from falling in. It is supposed that this underground cave was
used as a rendezvous for criminals, as
fifty years ago none of such ilk could
ever he found after they had been
traced to Ypsilanti. This road has
again broken through and men are endeavoring to put it in a safe condition.

The old idea that gold -only existed,
or originally existed, in quartz jias
been exploded by the successful working of the Grand Prize in Nevada and
the Pioneer near Deadwood. The
latter is an immense porphyry ledge
sixty feet wide. It pays regular dividends, although the owners say that in
milling 500 tons of porphyry not to
exceed one ton of quartz is worked.
Carrier swallows are now used in
France by the military authorities instead of pigeons. A test was recently

perched on the trainer1 outstretched
linger. In half an hour every swallow

A murderous affray that it is thought
will terminate in the death of the -victim occurred at Ann Arhor last Friday
night, adding another to the long list
of murders, resulting from carrying
a revolver, which is often used in Jt
moment's excitement, when if not so
accessible its use would not be thought
of. From Tuesday's Argus we glean
the following particulars:
Fred Frank is a boy of seventeen who
came here from Cleveland, Ohio. He
had lately been working for Albert
Pierce, who occupies the house on the
fair grounds, belonging to the fair association, and whose ^nsinesa is training horses. Fyaujy find a, Bon of Pierce,
have b^an, sleeping- in the barn. Last
Friday P|eroe discharged Frank on
accQUHt of certain exhibitions of bad
temper. After Frank had been discharged, Augustus Pierce informed
his father that Frank had stolen un
overcoat belonging* to Georgo Aprfll,
during the fair, and was packing it up
with his things. The father took the
overcpat '(wv-ay from Frank and gave
gim a talking to. Frank left but in
the evening* returned, and knowing
that young Pierce would come out to
the barn, took his position in the barn
by the door, sitting on a nail-keg
which he moved into the position he
wanted it, and holding a neck-yoko in
his hands. As soon as young Pierce
appeared Frank struck him with the
neck yoke. Pierce grappled it when
Frank let go ot it, stepping back apace
or two and drawing a 38 calibre British
bull dog- revolver fired at Pierce, The
bullet struck him about the oenter of
the stomach and cannot, be found.
Pierce fell and Fratilv van away.
The officers at once began searching
for Frank, He was seen in the fifth
wand Saturday morning and later was
arrested by Marshal Walsh and Deputy
Sheriff Schott near Geddes. When arrested he had the revolver still in his
possession,, with two empty chambers.
He is now in the county jail. Besides
the revolver he had fifty or sixty keys,
a couple of drills, etc.
The only chance that young Pierce
has for life is that the ball may have
glanced downward. His ante-mortem
statement has been taken by Coroner
Clark and agrees withjthe sto-ry iig told
above,
Frank's. s.tatetnent to a repdrter last
Saturday, was as follows:
"t:! went to work for Pierce just before the toll' and left there yesterday
noon to search for work elsewhere. In
the morning I had some words with
young Pierce, because he was beating
a horse. A coat was stolen during the
fair and Pierce saw me packing it in
my valise yesterday and told his father,
and I gave it up. I came down town
and must have heen drunk when I went
back in the evening. I knew young
Pierce would come out to the barn and
I sat down to wait for him. As he came
near me I picked up a neck yoke and
struck at him. He grabbed the neck
yoke and I let go and ran* back a few
feet. He started after me and was going to strike me. I reached in my
back pocket and pulled my revolver, a
self-cocking. 3S-caliber British, bull-dog,
and fired. "I don't think I would have
fired if it hadn't been a self-eocking revolver. My hand was on the trigger
when Ipulled it out,andI wouldn't have
had the grit to shoot a man if it hadn't
been. 1 didn't want to shoot him, and
the shooting was accidental. I don't
know why I went back therelast night.
I didn't want to hurt him and don't
know what made me do it. After the
shooting I went into a barn near by,
and slept. Went to the Michigan Central depot this morning and got my
valise, and then'walked down the track
to the place -where I was caught. I
didn't try to draw my revolver to shoot
the marshal. Put my hand back because I didn't know what he was going
to do."
