Clarence Brown oi Ypsilanti, is
dead as the result of being shot in the
.back in February, 1910, by a special
officer who had been appointed to
watch for thieves up in the vicinity
of the Normal college. Brown was
arrested and taken to the hospital at
Ann Arbor, and after his condition
warranted it he- was arraigned on ,a
charge of breaking and entering a
dwelling house with intent to commit
larceny. He waived an examination
and was bound over to the circuit
court for trial. Owing to his crippled
condition, however, the case was
never tried, and he was allowed ,to return to his home here. According to
the city poor commission, he received
aid from the city, his father, who now
lives in Detroit, refusing to aid the
injured son.-—Ex.
Work was started this morning in
the new marl pit of the Michigan Portland Cement Co. at Four Mile Lake,
one or two cars having been loaded
last night.
The new pit is located about a half
mile further to the northwest than the
old pit, and additional tracks were
first laid to it, this construction work
taking several-weeks. Last Sunday
morning work was started on moving
the big Lidgewood dredge to the new
location, and by Thursday afternoon
the big machine was on the job and
ready for business.
A new-tube mill, making four in
all, has just been placed in commission, and the big plant is working full
capacity, night and day.—Tribune.

Caught in the middle of the long
Ann Arbor railroad bridge across the
Huron river in Ann Arbor, Wednesday afternoon, Clarence Overacker, an
eight-year-old boy, lay down beside
the rails, and one of the railroad
motorcars passed over him. The step
in the middle of the car, however,
failed to clear the lad's body, and he
was knocked over the side of the
bridge. He grasped a tie as he fell,
and was able to pull himself up without assistance. A bruised back and
arm are the only injuries.—Chelsea

W. B. Mershon, state tax commissioner, is quoted as saying:- "It is
the little home owner, the fellow with
property worth from $500 to $3,000 who
is overtaxed in this state. He is the
fellow who is paying to much taxes,
yet he is the last one to put up a holler. This kind of property owner is
really the one in the state wh<> has a
kick coming, and we hear the least
from him of any," continued Mr.
Mershon. That is exactly what the
poor man has known all the time but
how could he help himself.—Enterprise,
Fireworks at the Michigan State
Fair, September 16 to 21 inclusive,
will be a feature such as has never
been at the Michigan State Fair in
previous years and has seldom been
seen in America. The State Fair
management has arranged with the
company who put on the fireworks at
the Cadillacqua before hundreds of
thousands of delighted people, to put
on at the State Fair a series of displays rivalling the Cadillaqua in
beauty and splendor. One of the
main attractions at the Fair will be
the fireworks for the main piece shows
the Fall of Old Mexico, an apt subject
just at this time. The Castle of Cha-
hultepec, where President Diaz had
his headquarters, is shown on its
lofty mountain side location as is also
Popocatapel, the mighty volcano that
is plainly apparent from the City of*
Mexico. Another feature display will
be the battle among the skies, showing a glimpse into the future. In
this great spectacle will be seen the
struggle of airships for mastery in the
air and the picture is very realistic.
Thousands of dollars will he^ the expense of these splendid features at the
State Fair.
"Farmer Bill" Endicott of Indiana,
has entered for the Automobile Baces
at the Michigan State Fair, September
16 to 21-next. "Farmer Bill" is a
farmer in reality and when not traveling at a lightning speed in his automobile, is busy on his farm down in
Indiana where he raises everything
worth while. His success on the farm
and success on the road and track has
brought Mi. Endicott a great deal of
money and incidentally a great deal
of fame. His latest achievement was
travelling 300 miles in just 96 minutes
at Old Orchard, Maine. He has competed with honors in great races including the 500 mile race at Indianapolis.

The mortgage tax law as passed by
the 1911 legislature, was upheld in
an opinion handed down by the supreme court recently, and the land
contract clause found to be constitu-
r
tional. The opinion was based on the
case of Herbert Bowen of Detroit, vs.
William F. Moeller, county treasurer
of Wayne county.—Standard-Herald.
An automobile highway from New
York to San Francisco will be built
and it is said that it will pass through
Michigan probably touching Detroit
and if so very likely will pass through
Jackson. If they wish to build it on
the shortest route it will pass through
Manchester.—Enterprise.
Indian Killed On Track.
Near Bochelle, 111., an Indian went
to sleep on a railroad track and was
killed by the fast express. He paid
for his carelessness with his life. Often its that way when people neglect
coughs and colds. Don't risk your
life when prompt use of Dr. King's
New Discovery will cure them, and so
prevent a dangerous throat or lung
trouble. "It completely cured me, in
a short time, of a terrible cough that
followed a severe attack of Grip,"
writes J. R. Watts, Floydada, Tex.,
"and I regained 15 pounds in weight
that I had lost." Quick, safe, reliable and guaranteed. 50c and $1.00.

Sleeping Sickness Discovery.
Reports received from, the commission on Sleeping Sickness working in
Rhodesia state that it has been proved
beyond doubt that the tsetse fly, known
as Gloslina morsitans, as .a carrier of
the disease.
The commission was dispatched to
Africa in consequence of the appearance of the disease in regions where
Glossina palpalis (the-species of tsetse fly, which up to that time had
alone been regarded as a carrier of
sleeping sickness,) was non-existent.
The guilt of Glossina morsitans has
been proved not only under laboratory
conditions, but also in nature. Certain
animals can act as the host of the
virus without suffering thereby.
While palpalis is to be found only
in narrow limits, morsitans is met
with throughout Africa in wide areas,
and the methods of migration and isolation hitherto employed will be practically impossible.
