INDIAN ASSAULTS
ROSEBUSH WOMAN
SUNDAY MORNING
Driver Charged
With Negligent
Homicide Here
Jailed On Charge of Assault
With Intent To Rape
Ybung Woman
Mrs. Emma Straka, about 30, who
lives with her two small sons, George
10, and Dick, 9, was the victim of
assault with intent to rape, Sunday
morning about 2:00 o'clock,
Mrs. Straka lives three miles east
of Rosebush in" a small cottage across
from the Bader school. The youngest son, Dick, was away from home
visiting relatives, so that just the
woman and ten year old George were
at home, when the attack took plfcce.
Held in the Isabella county jail is-
Abraham Solomon, 34, an Indian living southeast of Delwin. Formal
charges were placed against Solomon
by his intended victim.
On the night of the attack, Mrs.
Straka was awakened by the presence
of the intruder, who was prevented in
overpowering her by the gallant efforts of her young son, who fought
the man away from his mother. The
latter was able to make her way out
of the house screaming for, help and
attracting the attention of the Tom
Bader family who live nearby.
Before neighbors could arrive, the
man had fled, but his identity was
suspected and inquiries' at his home
showed that he was absent. A relative of Mrs. Straka arrived and decided to spend the remainder of the
night with the frightened woman.
Soon after the lights were extinguished the man returned and attempted to again gain entrance to
the house. The relative on guard,
armed with a club, went out of the
house to apprehend the attacker and
was able after a brief struggle to
overpower the man. Neighbors, again
attracted by the disturbance, assisted
in holding the prowler while State
Police were called.
When advised by the Mt. Pleasant
State Police Post that all available
officers were assisting with a road
barricade in Mecosta county, Solomon's captors decided to take the
man to the sheriff's office, which they
did.
Local residents ^are ■especially-
stirred by this incident, due to the
fact that only a few years back, the
same man attempted to perpetrate the
same crime, entering a house only a
fraction of a mile distant from the
scene of Sunday morning's attempt,
and assaulting its occupants.
The attempt to commit the same
crime again after having been out of
the penitentiary less than a year as
the result of his former crime, would
seem to be an illuminating factor to
consider regarding the retention of
able psychiatrists in State prisons
to determine the fitness of a criminal
to rejoin human society, before discharging him from the institution.
WHO BROKE THE CAMERA?
We had planned on having a nice
picture in the Sentinel of the two
hundred odd Saginaw wholesalers and
their guests in the Wedgewood Room
at the Hotel Doherty Tuesday, but after taking a picture of our mayor,
Hon. Herbert Randall, and three of
his colleagues from Saginaw, Harrison and Gladwin, the Saginaw Daily
News photographer could not get his
camera to work.
Lloyd Keysor, of Hamilton township, was arraigned before Justice of
the Peace Wm. B. Dunlop Monday
morning for examination on a negligent homicide charge brought against
him by Clark Walters, whose child
was killed at the Redner school near
the Shull Ranch in April, when the
youngster ran into the side of Key-
sor's car. At the time Keysor was
released after -making a statement
to the Clare County Prosecuting Attorney.
Considerable testimony was taken
and Justice Dunlop has withheld his
decision until he has had an opportunity to make a study of the court
stenographer's 'brief.

Clare Tuesday on treid "Salute to
the Communities" lour which took
them to eleven Central Michigan cities
that day. Arriving' at 10:10 o'clock,
they spent two hours calling on customers of their representative firms
in Clare. ,
At 12:15 o'clock the wholesalers
were hosts to the retailers and their
ladies of this vicinity when 232 were

Room at the Hotel Doherty.
Following luncheon Fred Kundinger
president of the wholesale division
of the Saginaw Board of Commerce,
presented Chas. Haensel, secretary of
the board, Secretary R. L. Dankers
and Assistant Secretary Fred Schaeffer of the wholesale division, and
Mayor Harold Stingland,. of Saginaw,

Harold Daschner was presented as
speaker and announced his topic as
"Let's Get Back to Selling," saying
that the heyday we're now in will not
last forever and that the retailers
should now practice the fundamental
principles of salesmanship for the
days to come.
He said it was the wholesalers' responsibility to take the merchandise
coming into their establishments and
distribute it the best they can to the
tremendous market of today, doing
their best in the present, and to plan
for tomorrow.
The speaker said that new articles
are. coming onto the market in increasing quantities and the duty and
opportunity of retailers was to sell
them and that they must be creative
in selling and planning sales and
provide goods and efficient service
for those coming into their stores.
He stressed the importance of decoration and lighting to provide a
cheerful interior with emphasis on
adequate lighting and keeping mer-
chanise clean.
In closing he said we had had a
chance to taste a higher plane of
living which will be hard to give up
and that it was up to the employer
and employee to get together for the
benefit of the marvelous future.
Mr. Kundinger thanked those who
had taken time from their business to
attend the luncheon, some driving
many miles,- and as the guests were
leaving the Saginaw Eddy Band presented a snappy concert in front of
the hotel.
Both-, wholesalers and retailers expressed their pleasure of the success
of the event and the opportunity of
creating good will and better understanding between the two groups. '
A special election will be held in
the city of Clare next Monday, November 10, for the purpose of voting
on the proposition, "Shall the present
Charter of the City of Clare be revised so as to come under the provisions of the Home Rule Cities Act, being Act No. 279 of the Public Acts of
1909, as amended, and to provide for
a City Commission and City Manager
form of Government?"
A Charter Commission consisting
of nine members will also be elected
Monday for the purpose of drafting
the new City Charter in event the
citizens of Clare vote favorably on
the former proposition. Coincident-
ally petitions had been filed for nine
candidates as members of the Charter Commission when ' the time for
filing expired October 31st. However, a voter may vote for persons
as members of the Charter Commission whose name's do not appear upon
the ballot by writing the names in.
Candidates whose names will appear
on the ballots are O. D. Bayes, Frank
Haynak, Laurenee Seiter, Theo Wallington, Tim Cotter, W. James Olson,
Arthur Damoth, Wm. H. Caple and
Leo Brown. The Charter, when
drafted, will be examined by the
City Attorney for legal discrepancies
before adopted.
After the Charter has been written
and adopted another election will he
held to elect five .or more commissioners to serve for a designated time
as prescribed by the Charter,
Much has been said pro and con
concerning Commission-City Manager
form of Government for the City of
Clare and undoubtedly this form of
government has disadvantages as well
as advantages, but it is not the policy
of the Sentinel to influence its read"
ers one way or another in such matters, so we only suggest that each
reader consider the proposition seriously and open mindedly before going
to the polls Monday and learn as
.muck as 'g&Ssible* about-, this form pf
Government from unbiased and authentic sources before deciding upon,
their 'choice. But, by all means, we
urge every qualified elector in the
city to go to the polls and vote according to the best' of his knowledge
and ability.

The department of conservation
and the state police are cooperating
this fall to greatly expand a messenger service for deer hunters.
For several years the conservation
department and the state police have
invited hunters to register at their
field headquarters and posts, giving
their home addresses and the location of their hunting camps. This
enables the state police and conservation officers to reach them in case
of emergency at home.
This year the two state departments
are cooperating t"c% make the servige
even more efficient land convenient.
Hunters may notify* their families and
the place where they woVlc as to the
particular conservation or state police
station where they will register—the
one nearest their, hunting canip. Then
should an emergency arise, the family or working place can phone the
message to the nearest police post
or conservation headquarters. That
station will radio the message to the
station where the hunter is registered
and the message will be delivered in
person. In the same manner, should
something happen to the hunter, the
state police or conservation officers
can notify the family or place of employment,
A supply of registration cards is
being distributed to the various stations this week. Fifty-eight stations
will be available for "■registering.

The first Armistice Day in 1918 brought hope into the hearts of
mankind and in 1945, after another struggle for the principles of
freedom, this hope was renewed. Armistice Day brings sadness to
those who lost loved ones in these conflicts and eyen though this
sadness is mellowed through the years to come, the significance of
Armistice Day will never perish so long as life blood flows through |i

PIONEERS TRIM
GLADWIN 26-13
HERE_LAST WEEK
To End Season on Local Field
Against Breckenridge
This Evening
RACHEL ANN NUNN
LAID AT REST IN
COLEMAN CEMETERY
Resident of Beaverton Township
Passes Away ai Home of
Daughter October 26
Rachel Ann Arthur, daughter of
Joseph and Jane Arthur, was born
February 18, 1867, in Ontario, Canada.
While visiting at the home of her
daughter at LaSalle, Michigan, she
Was taken ill and unable to return to
her home. She passed away October
26, 1947, at the age of eighty years,
eight months and eight days.
May 1, 1889, she was united in marriage to Sealey Nunn. To this union
were born eight children, four sons
and four daughters. One son passed
away in infancy and one daughter,
Nettie, passed away "March 31, 1918.
They came to Beaverton township,
the same year they were married and
have resided here since.
Her husband preceded her in death
June 14, 1921, ,
Surviving to mourn their loss are
her children, George Nunn, of Coleman, Fred Nunn, of Beaverton, Mrs.
Jennie Rilett, of Coleman, Mrs. Nellie
Henry, of LaSalle, Mrs. .Ben Keinrath,
of Beaverton, Robert Nunn, of Beaverton; five' grandchildren and three
great grandchildren. I
Funeral services were held Tuesday '
afternoon, October 28, at Elm Grove
Church of God, of which she was a
member, and burial was at Coleman
Cemetery. Rev. Kleinhardt officiated, |
assisted by Rev. Honderich and Rev.
Miller.
In the fastest, flashiest game played this year, under the lights at
Clare's home field, Clare handed a
thumping defeat to Gladwin. While
it was the most exciting of all the
games to watch it was enjoyed by
the Smallest crowd this 'season, due
probably to so many people staying
at home to entertain the Halloween
goblins.
Glare scored twice in tne first half
both on well executed passes., Gladwin also hit paydirt after getting inside Clare's 20 yard line on a long
pass. Neither team-gained much ad*-
vantage on the ground up to halt time.
The Pioneers came back after the
half and received the kickoff from
Gladwin. Campbell picked it up on
his own 17 and scampered the other
83 yards through the whole Gladwin
team for a touchdown.
In the fourth quarter Clare carried
the ball to Gladwin's 2 yard line for
a flrst down. An offside penalty took
it back to the seven. On the second
attempted pass from there the Gladwin fullback intercepted and ran 98
yards for their second marker.
When a few minutes later Clare
ran their way back to the same spot
they avoided that mistake and car-
i*ied it across.
This was a game where Clare really
needed that *big tough line led by
Johnston. Time after time the entire SOO odd pounds of Gladwin's
backfield would charge the middle, be
met by a solid wall, and after a resounding impact Would stop, waver,
and finally fall backward on their
own soil. We were lucky -we had
big boys- like Busche, Creguer, Hamp
ton, Fleming, Wallace and the rest,
who could meet that test. Otherwise
the final score would have been different.
#
Clare's backfield were at their best
in this game, featured by the running
and passing of Campbell, the nice
gains made by Worstell and Borle.
All in all a fine performance both on
offense and defense.
Since the Pioneers have looked
better in every game since their loss
to St. Louis, by a narrow margin, it
should really be worthwhile to see
the wind-up game of the season this
Friday night against Breckenridge.
Let's all turn out and show the boys
and Coach Richardson that we know
they are a credit to themselves and
to us.

his rear window from cars behind
and bright lights of cars approaching
blinded him and he thought he was

FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7. 1947. New Series Vol. 56, No. 6 INDIAN ASSAULTS ROSEBUSH WOMAN SUNDAY MORNING Driver Charged With Negligent Homicide Here Jailed On Charge of Assault With Intent To Rape Ybung Woman Mrs. Emma Straka, about 30, who lives with her two small sons, George 10, and Dick, 9, was the victim of assault with intent to rape, Sunday morning about 2:00 o'clock, Mrs. Straka lives three miles east of Rosebush in" a small cottage across from the Bader school. The youngest son, Dick, was away from home visiting relatives, so that just the woman and ten year old George were at home, when the attack took plfcce. Held in the Isabella county jail is- Abraham Solomon, 34, an Indian living southeast of Delwin. Formal charges were placed against Solomon by his intended victim. On the night of the attack, Mrs. Straka was awakened by the presence of the intruder, who was prevented in overpowering her by the gallant efforts of her young son, who fought the man away from his mother. The latter was able to make her way out of the house screaming for, help and attracting the attention of the Tom Bader family who live nearby. Before neighbors could arrive, the man had fled, but his identity was suspected and inquiries' at his home showed that he was absent. A relative of Mrs. Straka arrived and decided to spend the remainder of the night with the frightened woman. Soon after the lights were extinguished the man returned and attempted to again gain entrance to the house. The relative on guard, armed with a club, went out of the house to apprehend the attacker and was able after a brief struggle to overpower the man. Neighbors, again attracted by the disturbance, assisted in holding the prowler while State Police were called. When advised by the Mt. Pleasant State Police Post that all available officers were assisting with a road barricade in Mecosta county, Solomon's captors decided to take the man to the sheriff's office, which they did. Local residents ^are ■especially- stirred by this incident, due to the fact that only a few years back, the same man attempted to perpetrate the same crime, entering a house only a fraction of a mile distant from the scene of Sunday morning's attempt, and assaulting its occupants. The attempt to commit the same crime again after having been out of the penitentiary less than a year as the result of his former crime, would seem to be an illuminating factor to consider regarding the retention of able psychiatrists in State prisons to determine the fitness of a criminal to rejoin human society, before discharging him from the institution. WHO BROKE THE CAMERA? We had planned on having a nice picture in the Sentinel of the two hundred odd Saginaw wholesalers and their guests in the Wedgewood Room at the Hotel Doherty Tuesday, but after taking a picture of our mayor, Hon. Herbert Randall, and three of his colleagues from Saginaw, Harrison and Gladwin, the Saginaw Daily News photographer could not get his camera to work. Lloyd Keysor, of Hamilton township, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Wm. B. Dunlop Monday morning for examination on a negligent homicide charge brought against him by Clark Walters, whose child was killed at the Redner school near the Shull Ranch in April, when the youngster ran into the side of Key- sor's car. At the time Keysor was released after -making a statement to the Clare County Prosecuting Attorney. Considerable testimony was taken and Justice Dunlop has withheld his decision until he has had an opportunity to make a study of the court stenographer's 'brief.

Eighty-five Saginaw wholesalers, led byethe Saginaw Eddy Band, visited Clare Tuesday on treid "Salute to the Communities" lour which took them to eleven Central Michigan cities that day. Arriving' at 10:10 o'clock, they spent two hours calling on customers of their representative firms in Clare. , At 12:15 o'clock the wholesalers were hosts to the retailers and their ladies of this vicinity when 232 were served luncheon in the Wedgewood Room at the Hotel Doherty. Following luncheon Fred Kundinger president of the wholesale division of the Saginaw Board of Commerce, presented Chas. Haensel, secretary of the board, Secretary R. L. Dankers and Assistant Secretary Fred Schaeffer of the wholesale division, and Mayor Harold Stingland,. of Saginaw, before introducing Henry Riefel as toastma,ster. Wholesaler Kenneth Collins led in group singing, with Mrs. John Hall accompanying at the piano.

' Mayor Gordon Smith, Chamber of Commerce President Flynn and others from Gladwin. Mayor Herb Randall, Chamber of Commerce President Art Damoth, Chet Richard, Cir.cuit Judge-elect Don Holbrook, Prosecutor Harold B. Hughes, Tim Cotter, Rotary Club President George White and Kiwanis Club President Leo Brown. Harold Daschner was presented as speaker and announced his topic as "Let's Get Back to Selling" saying that the heyday we're now in will not last forever and that the retailers should now practice the fundamental principles of salesmanship for the days to come. He said it was the wholesalers' responsibility to take the merchandise coming into their establishments and distribute it the best they can to the tremendous market of today, doing their best in the present, and to plan for tomorrow. The speaker said that new articles are. coming onto the market in increasing quantities and the duty and opportunity of retailers was to sell them and that they must be creative in selling and planning sales and provide goods and efficient service for those coming into their stores. He stressed the importance of decoration and lighting to provide a cheerful interior with emphasis on adequate lighting and keeping mer- chanise clean. In closing he said we had had a chance to taste a higher plane of living which will be hard to give up and that it was up to the employer and employee to get together for the benefit of the marvelous future. Mr. Kundinger thanked those who had taken time from their business to attend the luncheon, some driving many miles,- and as the guests were leaving the Saginaw Eddy Band presented a snappy concert in front of the hotel. Both-, wholesalers and retailers expressed their pleasure of the success of the event and the opportunity of creating good will and better understanding between the two groups. ' A special election will be held in the city of Clare next Monday, November 10, for the purpose of voting on the proposition, "Shall the present Charter of the City of Clare be revised so as to come under the provisions of the Home Rule Cities Act, being Act No. 279 of the Public Acts of 1909, as amended, and to provide for a City Commission and City Manager form of Government?" A Charter Commission consisting of nine members will also be elected Monday for the purpose of drafting the new City Charter in event the citizens of Clare vote favorably on the former proposition. Coincident- ally petitions had been filed for nine candidates as members of the Charter Commission when ' the time for filing expired October 31st. However, a voter may vote for persons as members of the Charter Commission whose name's do not appear upon the ballot by writing the names in. Candidates whose names will appear on the ballots are O. D. Bayes, Frank Haynak, Laurenee Seiter, Theo Wallington, Tim Cotter, W. James Olson, Arthur Damoth, Wm. H. Caple and Leo Brown. The Charter, when drafted, will be examined by the City Attorney for legal discrepancies before adopted. After the Charter has been written and adopted another election will he held to elect five .or more commissioners to serve for a designated time as prescribed by the Charter, Much has been said pro and con concerning Commission-City Manager form of Government for the City of Clare and undoubtedly this form of government has disadvantages as well as advantages, but it is not the policy of the Sentinel to influence its read" ers one way or another in such matters, so we only suggest that each reader consider the proposition seriously and open mindedly before going to the polls Monday and learn as .muck as 'g&Ssible* about-, this form pf Government from unbiased and authentic sources before deciding upon, their 'choice. But, by all means, we urge every qualified elector in the city to go to the polls and vote according to the best' of his knowledge and ability.

PIONEERS TRIM GLADWIN 26-13 HERE_LAST WEEK To End Season on Local Field Against Breckenridge This Evening RACHEL ANN NUNN LAID AT REST IN COLEMAN CEMETERY Resident of Beaverton Township Passes Away ai Home of Daughter October 26 Rachel Ann Arthur, daughter of Joseph and Jane Arthur, was born February 18, 1867, in Ontario, Canada. While visiting at the home of her daughter at LaSalle, Michigan, she Was taken ill and unable to return to her home. She passed away October 26, 1947, at the age of eighty years, eight months and eight days. May 1, 1889, she was united in marriage to Sealey Nunn. To this union were born eight children, four sons and four daughters. One son passed away in infancy and one daughter, Nettie, passed away "March 31, 1918. They came to Beaverton township, the same year they were married and have resided here since. Her husband preceded her in death June 14, 1921, , Surviving to mourn their loss are her children, George Nunn, of Coleman, Fred Nunn, of Beaverton, Mrs. Jennie Rilett, of Coleman, Mrs. Nellie Henry, of LaSalle, Mrs. .Ben Keinrath, of Beaverton, Robert Nunn, of Beaverton; five' grandchildren and three great grandchildren. I Funeral services were held Tuesday ' afternoon, October 28, at Elm Grove Church of God, of which she was a member, and burial was at Coleman Cemetery. Rev. Kleinhardt officiated, assisted by Rev. Honderich and Rev. Miller. In the fastest, flashiest game played this year, under the lights at Clare's home field, Clare handed a thumping defeat to Gladwin. While it was the most exciting of all the games to watch it was enjoyed by the Smallest crowd this 'season, due probably to so many people staying at home to entertain the Halloween goblins. Glare scored twice in tne first half both on well executed passes., Gladwin also hit paydirt after getting inside Clare's 20 yard line on a long pass. Neither team-gained much ad*- vantage on the ground up to halt time. The Pioneers came back after the half and received the kickoff from Gladwin. Campbell picked it up on his own 17 and scampered the other 83 yards through the whole Gladwin team for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter Clare carried the ball to Gladwin's 2 yard line for a flrst down. An offside penalty took it back to the seven. On the second attempted pass from there the Gladwin fullback intercepted and ran 98 yards for their second marker. When a few minutes later Clare ran their way back to the same spot they avoided that mistake and car- i*ied it across. This was a game where Clare really needed that *big tough line led by Johnston. Time after time the entire SOO odd pounds of Gladwin's backfield would charge the middle, be met by a solid wall, and after a resounding impact Would stop, waver, and finally fall backward on their own soil. We were lucky -we had big boys- like Busche, Creguer, Hamp ton, Fleming, Wallace and the rest, who could meet that test. Otherwise the final score would have been different. # Clare's backfield were at their best in this game, featured by the running and passing of Campbell, the nice gains made by Worstell and Borle. All in all a fine performance both on offense and defense. Since the Pioneers have looked better in every game since their loss to St. Louis, by a narrow margin, it should really be worthwhile to see the wind-up game of the season this Friday night against Breckenridge. Let's all turn out and show the boys and Coach Richardson that we know they are a credit to themselves and to us. King's Daughters Enjoy Birthday Luncheon Thursday The Baptist King's Daughters Society met in the church parlors for their birthday and missionary luncheon Thursday afternoon "of last week.
