The festival of missions and church

churches can and should be a blessing to the individual and the community. In the afternoon the speaker

The Midland ball team went to
Evart last week for a game of ball
and it is claimed the visitors received bad treatment. Old Olare players
will recall some hard fought games
with both these teams. It is proposed by Midland to play Evart on
neutral grounds, and we suggest
that Glare, friends of both would
like iio hold their coats.
Here is what the Midland sun says:
The Midland Ball Olub went up to
Evart Wednesday and defeated tho
Evart club by a score of 6 to 4. They
are now" wondering if tbe club and
tans who attended the game are a
fair example of Evart sportsmen.
Not content with playing rough,
dirty ball, failing to win, the Evart
team refused to pay expenses of the
visitors.' They tried to win by baiting their own umpire and jockeying
the score keeper, but as they were
clearly outclassed by the Midland
boys and were only able to secure
four hits off Renner's masterful pitch
ing, their rowdy tactics did' not win
them.
The crowd of hoodlums who pose
as fans in that back-woods town took
a hand in the roistering, calling vile
names and throwing sticks, stones
and even over ripe eggs at the visiting team. We are glad that ball
clubs coming to Midland do not meet
that kind of a reception and Evart
was not so treated on their visit here.
The Midland club stands ready and
challenges Evart to play on neutral
ground for S25 per side ant one-half
the.gate receipts.

Alderton   and   Two Others
Get Out   of  Jail At
Harrison,
AND THEN GET BACK AGAIN.
Sunday Not a Day of Rest for
Sunday, but was Spent Hunting The Fugitives.
Last week we had a news story • on
Our first page entitled, "Easy Money
for Sunday," which dealt with the
easy capture of Chester Alderton,
wanted in Washington State Reformatory, whence he escapped about a
year ago. Alderton saw this story, so
he says, and determined to make the
Sheriff earn the money, and so trouble
began. We now give tho second
chapter. Alderton and McKinnon,
whose jail sentence had nearly
expired, and McKnight, who .was
awaiting trial in justice court as
toid in the Sentinel last week, escaped from the jail at Harrison at about
eight o'clock, Saturday night,
through a hole worn in the floor
near the stool of the toilet. It had
been covered, but for several days
the prisioners worked enlarging it,
covering it when any one came near.
Saturday night Sheriff Sunday
went about eight o'clock, as is his
custom, to see if any one had letters
to be mailed, and then went to the
office for the mail. When he returned
about fifteen minutes later he found
the men had gone. They had gone
beneath the jail and had found scrap
iron to pry open an outside iron
door.
The sheriff then got busy, telephoned to Under-sheriff Doherty to
be on the watch for the men, and
then started on their trail, which led
west at the first.    It was a bright
moonlight night snd easy taavelinge ^c Iflland Eark ■***• 4th.
that matter the charge of jail breaking will be made against him also.
We understand last a sentendo for
this last offence means a prison sentence at. Detroit/ That McKinnon'
anticipated something of this kind
maybe judged from his remark too a
by stander at the depot in Glare, "I
really think my hair needs cutting
but I guess I will will wait and have

ISABELLA FARMERS' PICNIC.
Will Take a Dsy Off for a Gathering at Mt. Pleasant.
No end of essays have been written telling us how to keep tbe boys
and girls on the farm. Farming
should be the most delightful occupation in the world. That it is not so,
is due perhaps in a measure to the
ceaseless "grind." While people in
other avocations take a day off now
and then, farmers generally keep
everlastingly at it. The farmers of
Isabella feel that they can afford a
day's vacation after gathering in the
magnificent crop of hay and wheat
they have this year. Accordingly
they have planned for a grand pic-
-nSc and general social time, as well
as something Intellectual, at Island
Park, Mt. Pleasant, Thursday, Aug.
4th. Aderesses, music, and a ball
game are amongt the attractions.
Delegates from tbe subordinate
granges of tho county met at Mt.

the following program:

As the men were headed west Sun
day figured they might try to get to
Clarence and catch a freight or the
morning excursion train. Officers
Smith and Bouck of Glare took the
early morning train north, and joined Sunday at Marion. The men had
evidently gone south.
About seven o'clock Sunday morning, acting on the tip from the sheriff
Deputy Doherty, Wm. Dwyer and
Jacob Mason, with Dr. Gray for
chauffeur, went from Olare to Far-
well and north on the state road.
They picked up tho trail by the
men's tracks in the road, and turned south through Farwell the officers
being convinced., that the fugitives would get to McKinnon's home
two miles southwest of Olare and
secure money to make their escape.
Working on this idea the officers
struck the county line road going
east, and about a mile and a half
west of Clare, overtook the trio by a
near approach. As soon as the men
saw who was in the auto they bolted
the road, Alderton hiding in the
brush by the road, tbe others taking
to the tall timber. Alderton figured
that the officers would pursue the
running feet, and they did, but Dr.
Gray walking up the road fonnd
Alderton in the brsuh and later in
the .day he was brought in and taken
to Harrison.
The other two men made a long
chase of it. The officers followed
them across two or three sections going south, and at one time were with-
n ten minutes of them where they
drank at a Bpring. Sheriff Sunday
and the other officers came down
from Marion Sunday afternoon and
the sheriff joined in the search.
The next word tbat came from the
fugitives was on Wednesday afternoon when a telephone to Sheriff
Sunday from Big Rapids saying
two men answering the description
the sheriff had Bent out, and the latter phoned back to bold them. He
took the next train and Thursday returned with the men.
It appears that the men got pressed with hunger and ventured into
town, there one of them being talkative from drink, told a popcorn boy
who they were but cautioned him to
be silent.
It is likely that Alderton will be
turned over to the Washington officers, that McKinnon will finish his
jail sentence and then answer to the
complaint of jail breaking, and that
McKnight's hearing on the charge, of
being disorderly will be re-rest
and that when he is through with

however, and Mr, and Mrs. F. B.
Doherty, speedily hustled the young
couple to Rosebush to catch the train
there. Not to be outgeneraled completely, however, a dozen went on
hetrain to R6sebush and pelted them
there.
AH day Saturday in big truck loads
and more trunks and traveling,
boxes stood on the Union depot platform and attracted some attention,
becase they seemed Io have.no claimant. There was as much baggage as
a big show troupe carries, but it was
more humble in appearance, and
there were no peroxide blonds and
long haired Hamlets nervously pac-
ingthe boards.
During the day the owners of the
baggage showed up and tbe Sentinel
scribe had the pleasure of a visit
with them, The party had come up
oh the early morning Ann Arbor
train from Delware and Ohio bound
for Alberta, and thereby hangs a
rather interesting story.
About thirteen years ago the Ervin
brothers and MoCloud from east of
Rosebush migrated to Alberta in the
Canadian northwest, taking their
families, making a colony of about
twenty persons. They tired of the
bard winters and hardships, and
this spring sold out their holdings
and went to the country around Delaware and Ohio. But tbe summer is
as much too hot there as tbe Alberta
winter is cold, and they decided to
return to the far northwest, stopping
on their way at their old home near
Rosebush for a brief visit. As the
early morning train does not stop at
Rosebush, they came on to Clare
and spent the day, going to Rosebush in the evening. In a few days
the little party of twenty-one will resume its migratory movement.
