Complete Change.
The postoffice at Tecumseh has been
undergoing a series oE- improvements.
Between the'hours of closing on Saturday night and the opening for business Monday morning a week ago a
complete transformation of the interior was wrought. The old set of
boxes were moved out and a neat and
handsome set installed. The woodwork is of quarter sawed oak. The
new set contains 252 lock boxes, -4
large drawers and 420 call boxes, besides the money order and registered
leiter Window, i.he general delivery
window, the letter and package drops,
and the rural carriers' window. The
postmaster's room is at the side. It is
a great improvement over the old system and Postmaster Bidwell deserves
the thanks of the patrons in bringing
sibout the change.

A terrible tragedy resulted in -the
death of John Frazpr, a University
engineering student from Genesee,

Episcopal faith, and the three had
been shooting at a mark near Geddes,
when Cass Lightner of Detroit, Fraz-
or's room mate, reloaded the revolver,
wbich in some way was discharged the-
bullet piercing "Fraze.r's abdomen. A

of blood, and E)razer was hurried to the
hospital, where Dr. Nancred took oot

An Expensive Rat.
A. M. Lemhle* a b(is.?neS3. *tfla*a of
Ann Arbor, bafl au experience with
rats a few days ag'fl tjiat he does not
care to h^ye repeated- He has a large
boiler- in the basement of his store, he
also bas a dog that is a terror to rats.
The dog espied a rat in the cellar and
gave chase and in some way the dog
bumped up against the faucet of the
boiler and innocently turned it so that
the water all run out. The consequence was that the boiler was nearly
ruined by the fire underneath and it
cost Mr. Lemble £250 to get it fixed.
