Is in Search and Seizure Law-
Goes into Effect September 2.
There has been much inquiry as to
prescription for liquor Bold by druggists and the Sentinel takes this form
of stating the fact that 90 days after
tbe adjournment of the legislature,
September 2 when all new laws go
into effect, it will require a doctor's
prescription, and there must be a
new prescription with each purchase,
to secure the purchase of liquor from
a drug store. This is applicable only
in "dry" counties.
This provision is a part of the
search and seizure law under which
a citizen having good reason to believe liquor stored in certain places
for wrong use under local option law
will have the right to swear out a
warrant and accompany the officer to j
search such premesis. All this is en-'
tirely new legislation and its trial will
be closely watched.

Heed-Gavanaghn
Rev. Franfe Foster Run to Earth at Valley
Springs, S, D„ Rev. ^. A. Shaw in
Methodist Pulpit at Onaway.
A letter from the Congregational
church clerk at Avoca, Iowa, tells a
Story of one, Rey, Ohas, Fredrick
Shaw, He was hired In February as
pastor for a year. It was done without investigation, be having to give
answer next day-to another offer in a.
distant state. He called himself
Charley and his wife Aggie. They
boarded having given their furniture
to their recently married daughter,
Gertrude, as they said.
He had much muBio and preached
15 minute sermons. May 1 telegra"m
said daughter had broken arm. Mrs:
Shaw left at once. Two days iater be
left. Sent telegrams. Didn't come
back, finally sent resignation. Got
salary weekly. Debts in town a-
mount to S70.
Associated with the Shaws was one
Frank Leighton Foster for a time
pastor at Freelanct and he preached
in Clare on occasion. Under date of
April the Valley Springs (S. D.)
Vidette printed a four column article
on Mr. Foster signed by a committee
for the federated Congregational and
Free Baptist churches of Valley
Springs whose paBtor he was. His
career is unveiled. For a time he
operated iu the eastern states getting
mixed up with young girls w as divorced from his wife. Later on he drifted
to Chicago. Worked as nurse and
railroad conductor. Then W: A.
Shaw picked him up and they began
to recommend each other to churches.
Representing> himself as 35 he was
courting a Valley Springs girl like
blazes but when married in 1887 he
gave his age as 23. His record is a
black one.
Rev. W. A. Shaw whose downfall
through drunkeness at Onaway was
told in the daily-gapers is reported
to have gone to a "retreat" for treatment and noi'ftuHy'cured he's back
in thepujpltat dnaway. Meanwhile
he's neverconfessed any of his scaly
actions either with reference to his
brother,-Charles, or to Frank Foster
In fact arocentJetter from the reverend gentleman referred to his "dear"
brother Charley.
Ib their/ such a dearth of christian
ministers that anybody with a smooth
tongue, regardless of his record as a
man, is good enough to be a pastor of
a church?
At the M. E« parsonage June 5 by
the Rev. Quinton Walker Miss Grace
Reed and Mr. Rupert Oavanagh were
united in matrimony.
Mr. Oavanagh is a merchant at
Lake City. Miss Reed was employed
at tbe Calkins.
Talent and brains demand high

WHY  THE MAIL  IS LATE.
Temple Saloplst Cases Stirred Things up
t,      in Circuit Court, •   ^
Pros. Atty. Quinn.
It is an embaragsing position for
me to be in, holding the official pos^
tion '{ do in this county and defend?
ing these saloon keepers.
Atty. B. N, Savage.
[With a low bow to Mr. Quinn] We
acqept your apology for being connection with the defence of this case.
[Turning to the jury]. Let us castf
the mantle Of charity over Mr. Quinn
and his short Comings.
Judge Peter F. Dodds.
Do you mean by that, Mr. Lacy,
that this man doesn't know whether
he is guilty or not guilty till the jnry
tells him?
These and similar saying in the old
court room at Harrison, which has
done service these SO years, stirred
things out of the common place into
hushed expectancy this week. Oases
far reaching in their searching and
revelations with more than usual of
legal talent lent interest to events.
The following depositions was made
of caees up to last evening:
John Redabaugh, Lewis Johnson,
Henry Vining, all three pleaded
guilty of violation of local option law
and were fined 850 and 20 days in the
county jail.
Jas. Wilton pleaded guilty to violation of local option law, then changed . plea, was tried with A. J. Lacy
and J. F. Bowler as his attorneys and
convicted. Judge Dodds fined him
S80 and 20 days in the county jail.
Jas. Snider and Arthur Farrington
(the latter plead guilty) put over to
next term.
Oolin McDonald, liquor violation,
ill, not present, put over to next
term.
G. Howard vs. W. 0. Cornwell,
cause continued on payment of S10.
Alason S. Holbrook vs," Patrick
Coyne, Oliver LaFave and their
bondsmen, jury disagreed 11 to 1 for
conviction.
Mary A. Miller vs. Oliver LaFave
and his bondsmen. Settled for S425,
including the S150 preyiously paid
Mrs. Miller. Rep. Dusenbury of
Mt. Pleasant and Judge Searl of
Ithaca appeared for Mrs. Miller and
John Quinn for Mr. LaFave.
Bessie .Sheldon estate matter settled for S250.
Edgar Becker vs. Dr. J. W. Dunlop
put over.
W. J. Mackley vs. J. H. Mackley,
deed set aside.
Effie Sheldon, divorce, under consideration.
Mary E. Tracy, divorce, granted,
S1.50 week alimony.
Maude Colburn, divorce, granted,
SI.50 week alimony.
Wm. Russell, divorce, under consideration.
The case brought by Alason S. Holbrook against Temple" ex-saloonists
and bondsmen for 810,000 damages
for furnishing liquor to .his son/a
minor, who was mangled jumping a
train near Pennock, stirred up the
old cess pool too much for some
people. Atty. Gaffney of Cadillac
with Atty. Quinn defended the sa-
loonists with Atty. Savage of Reed
Oity tor the * prosecution. On the
stand the saloonists confessed to a
threefold violating of the liquor law,
Mr. LaFave in particular showing a
remarkable progression of what constituted drunkeness after going into
the saloon business. So rank was the
whole thing that Pros. Atty, Qninh
apologized in open court for being
connected with tbe case, saying that
being attorneyxfor Mr. Coyne before
he became proseoutor was the reason
he now proposed to see him through.
The jury disagreed 11 to 1 for conviction and it developed that the one
man who stood out against the
eleven is a friend of Patrick Coyne
with his farm near Coyne's and who
frankly confessed he'd stand -by
Coyne every minute. How could
such a man get on the jury?
'The Lion and the Mouse"
showed the selfish wealthy man of millions, "The Man of the hour" the
corruption of city government and "JThe Gentleman'froin Mississippi" the
struggle against corruption in the U. S. senate.   . ^
The Sentinel this week also begins a series of illustrated articles on the
resources of our great state of Michigan, her men and her industries. The
first will be on T>r, Jas. B. Angel, the distinguished ex-president of the
University} the Becond Michigan's salt industry. Copper and iron, mines,
insane asylums and similar topics will follow. These will help us to a better
appreciation of our state.
The series of column articles, "Thoughts on Boys," now running is another practical feature.
If you contemplate subscribing for the Sentinel, do it now. A pair of
patent tension steel shears eight inches long given with every newsubscribv
or. This offer is subject to withdrawal without notice. It is too good an
offer to last long. Remember, you get Clare county's leading newspaper and
a 81.00 pair of steel'shears, all for $1.25. '"
RAISED FROM $1 TO $10.
Two.BiUs  Passed in Clare Saturday   Not ' Detected   Till
Hours Later.
Two one dollar bills raised to 810
we're passed in Olare Saturday, one
at Jackson's meat market and the
other at Van Brunt's grocery. Th8
Olare County Savings Bank detected
the job on examining the Jackson deposit and similarly with the Van
Brunt deposit.
The job of raising the bill from SI
to $10 was very neatly done on the
Jackson one and the ragged erasure
on the other beings the only clumsy
thing about it. The S added to
dollars was obscure but the figures 10
were well done. But the "310 with
eagle on the bill looked enough in-
congrous to have attracted some attention, at the time of receiving. It
was a farmer looking fellow who did
the job at Jackson's, asking for
change to pay hiB help but be had
disappeared before the detection was
made.
Reports are that several such bills
have been passed at towns down the
line.

Mr. Hiscock, Mr. Eggleston et al—
The above caption is just a little
misleading, inasmuch as we stated
that they "et all." But the forgot
to "eat" those trout under seven
inches in length and thereby hangs
the tale. The gentleman from Isabella bad been fishing on the north
branch of the Tobacco and the game
warden from Olare county became a
little curious with the result, so we
understand, that he discovered just
S60.00 worth of "little ones."   It beats
all how the "cost of living" keeps
soaring—Mt. Pleasant Courier.
