Miniature Race War.
Two colored youths of Ypsilanti,
who had been drinking heavily, were
using indecent language on the street
when one of them said that he could
lick any man of any color in two minutes with his hands tied behind him,
closing with remarks derogatory to
the white race. Oue young man of the
later race would not stand such remarks and without further ado gave
the colored fellow a blow which landed
him on the sidewalk. He picked himself up and hurried off to find some of
his own race to avenge his disgrace
while the white man was carried away
by admiring friends.
His Own Fault.
The coroner's inquest iu the case of
Earl Gardner who was struck by a
Michigan Central train and terribly
mangled, resulted as follows:
"Earl W. Gardner came to his death
by being struck by a Michigan Central
train, No. S on the afternoon of May 2
at 2:49, as a result of bis own carelessness."
Joseph Mauthe was struck at the
same time but does not remember anything of it as it rendered him unconscious and he remained so for twenty-
four hours.
Kind of Men to Have.
Capt. C. R. Miller is in Tecumseh
to-day where he is preparing to plat
about 80 acres of the old Bills farm
into village lots. The D. T. & I. repair shops are located on the east portion of the farm. The Heesen shop on
the west portion and the new Anthony
Pence factory will occupy one block of
the west part. Capt. Miller will lay
out streets and offer the lots for residence property, which he believes will
be readily disposed of to workers in
the different factories.—Adrian Times.
Will Be Decided In June.
At the biennial review to be held in
Port Huron in June, it will be decided
whether thb Great Record Keeper's
office of the L. O. T. M. M. will remain
in Ann Arbor or not. If the people ol
that city wish it to remain, ihey must
provide suitable quarters with fireproof vaults where the valuable papers
may be stored. The question is a serious one for Ann Arbor and unless
some direct move is made at once it is
quite probable tbat it will be lost to
them which will be a sore loss.
Good Roads Movements.
The town board will have a meeting
next week tp make plans to raise
money enough to build 40 rods of road
from the village limits east in compliance with thfe state highway requirements. Thfc object in building this
strip of road is to give the taxpayers
an opportunity to examine the road
thoroughly and See if they want to be
taxed next year to build two miles of it
with the assistance of a state grant for
that purpose.—Tecumseh News.
Youthful Disturbers.
E. R. Brown, president of the village of Pinckney, has given the following notice in the Dispatch: "The public, and especially the younger generation of our village, are hereby notified
that all disturbers of the peace will be
promptly punished to the full extent of
the law." They must have a lot of
youngsters of the "Buster Brown" in
that village. *
A Good Calling Down.
The Millen-White case in Ann Arbor, had been attracting a room full of
students and one day they became
quite noisy and Judge Kinne said:
"If you young men cannot come here
and behave yourselves in a proper
manner lean find a way to get rid of
you." *
Victory For Freshmen.
The Tug of War, that was waged in
Ann Arbor Friday between the Sopho
mores and Freshmen of the TJ. of M ,
was a novel sight. In years past the
Sophomores have been fortunate in
capturing all of the honors but not «o
this time as the Freshmen won in this
event as well as the stone contest
which was the putting of a four hun
dred pound boulder somewhere on the
campus. Saturday morning occurred
the obstacle race on Ferry Field between the two classes which was a run
of 220 yards up a. long incline and
Jumping oil to the ground aod crawling through a barrel, this was also
won by the first year men.
Who Can Beat It?
One Bridgewater farmer has put in
20 acres of barley, has 32 acres of corn
ground ready to plant and will put in
25 acres of potatoes, a part of this
baing plowed. He has done the work
without help and one team of three
horses.—Times of May 19.
