"Mack's" All Right,
A letter from W. A. Mc Watty, postmarked Marquette, Mich., reached us
a short time ago. "Mack" is a former
Clare county boy, haying resided
many years at Harrison. He went to
Marquette more than a year ago and
took a position in the state prison
there as guard. He was given a
Christmas present of a raise from
guard to keeper, with an accompanying increase in salary. Part of his
business now is to read all letters coming into the institution and all that go
out, also to examine all newspapers.
There are now confined there 222 convicts. Mack was the first officer to
takecnarge of Wiseman, sentenced to
life at Marquette recently for the
murder of Mrs. Huss at Royal Oak.
At present there 13 eight inches of
snow up there, and Mack remarks that
up there Is a good place to get fid of
one's sins when one of those swift
nor'easters comes in off the lake. We
have asked Will to write an article for
publication which we are sure would
be eagerly • read by his many Clare
county friends.
