OLARE,   MICHIGAN,   FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16 1910.
New Series; Voi.18, No. 44
Keep up   Their   Steady
Circuit in Central Michigan.
The safe blower's bnsiness seems to
b© about as steady aB any other, but
-With' varying risk and profit. Sis
preference seems to be for poBtoffice
Strong boxes, but he sometimes stops
at a common store. He or they have
tracked three safes in Isabella county
in almost as many months and several others at scattered points in the
central territory. It is only a question of order on the program when
they.will visit Olare, Farwell and
Harrison. They rather like Coleman,
having been there three times within
a year, last Friday morning wrecking
the new postoffice safe there. This
is the Independent's account of the
robbery:
Safe blowers entered the Coleman
postoffice early this morning andwith
two charges of nitro glycerine wreck-
. ed the big safe and office furniture.
About 5:30 this morning Frank
Schoonmaker was passing the post-
office and discovered the side door
opened. One glance showed him that
the safe was a wreck. He immedi-
"ately notified postmaster Menery,
Officer Doherty was notified and at
once the wires -were busy no ifying
outside officials of the facts, but up to
noon no clue eonld be found.
Th<? burglars secured the tools for
the work frcm a Pere Marquette tool
house. They entered the office by the
side window. The first work on
the safe was by breaking off the
Combination and inserting the explosive tearing to pieces the two heavy
outside doors. The combination to
the door of the steel chest was then
broken off and a second charge used
which must have been a heavy one as
large bolts were clipped in two and
the door thrown against the wall some
ten feet away breaking out every
drawer in a secretary thatstood in its
way.
Nearly S600 in stamps and 8175 in
cash was secured. The safe was
plaeed in the office less than two
months ago and was supposed to be
proof against burglars but it is a sad
looking sight this morning for a burglar proof safe.
James Marlin.
James Marlin was borp. in Ireland
Jane 25th, 1833, and died at the home
of his son, William, at Herrick, Sept.
6fch, 1910, at the ripe old age of 77
years, 2 months and 12 days. He
came to this country with'his parents
when a lad of seven, they settling in
Canada. January 23d, 1860, he was
united in marriage to Miss Margaret Brandon and in 1882 they
came to Michigan locating in
Wise, Isabella Co. where tfcfey
resided oontiriuously till called
to the "Great-Beyond," The wife
received tbe summons first, dying
Jan. 20th, 1901, after a happy union
of over 40 years. To them were born
ten children seven* of whom survive.
Mrs. Geo.'Bryant of Clare; Mrs. J.
Loyd of Plsinfleld, Canada; James of
Joseph, Oregon; William, Wesly and
David of Herrick. The late Mrs.
Joseph House of Rosebush who died
three weeks ago, was a daughter.
Mr. Marlin was an earnest Christan
and united with the Wesleyan Methodist church when only a boy. On
coming to "Michigan he became a
member ofthe M, B. church at Herrick and so contined till the end.
" After the death of his wife, Mr.
Marlin lived with his son, William.
His health was not good in the later
years and after a long sickness the
end came peacefully. His fune**al
was held at the church he loved, the
services being conducted by the Rev.
Quinton Walker, and interment in
Cherry Grove cemetery. Tbe very
large number who attended told of
the "esteem in which the deceased
was held and the wide place left
vacant when he departed.

corridors the work starts off auspiciously, and it looks as though the
party would present an unbroken
front in Clare county this fall.
Naturally not everyone's preference
was met either in the primary nominations or in the party's county platform, but the unanimous disposition
