At Their Trial Which Was Held

in Caro Thursday Flornihg.

Firs. L. Wooley Tries Hard

to Clear

Her Husband

of the

Charge

Brought Against

Him.

In a crowded courtroom, with guilty

consciepces but unconcerned lot k%

the Wooley brothers, with their three

witnesses,

attempted to

establish

their innocence of the charge of lar-

ceny made against them by the P. O.

& N. R. IL Co., for the theft of eigh-

teen bags of beans.

The case was called at Caro early

yesterday morning with

witnesses

for the plaintiff from Marlette, King-

stun and Cass City, and a brother and

brother-in-law of the Wooleys and

Mrs. L. Wooley as-witnesses for the

defendants. The latter made a brave

attempt to clear her husband of the

charge by testifying hat, on the night

of the theft both men were at home

until 8 o'clock, when they all went to

the home of their sister who was sick.

The prisoners and remaining two wit-

nesses corroborated the statement.

When asked how it happened that the

Wooley brothers were both seen in

town on the night of the theft, Earl,

the younger of the two prisoners tried

to patch up the story by saying that

"before going to their sister's, they

drove near town to get a load of kind-

ling wood. With every testimony the

case looked darker and darker for the

Woolys, and they finally decided to

surrender. After ten minutes recess

both prisoners came before the judge

and altered their plea to that of

guilty. The jury was at ohce div-

missed from the case and the prisoc-

ors, after receiving some solid advice

from Judge Bech, were taken to

their cells to await sentence.

FACTORY AT (1A(iETOWN

An $8,ooo Plant to Be Erected at That Place

by Outside

Parties.

Railroad projects, sugar beet and

=___ pea factories and pickling stations

are

causing great agitation in our

surrounding towns and ith its usual

complacency, our neighboring village,

Gagetown, steps before the public and

announces that slm will join the swim

and

have a chicory factory.

We lave always been aware of the

sprightliness of Gagetown's citizens

but for industrial activity this last

deal

takes tim cake.

The business

men

have had tim project under con-

sideration fr two weeks and it is a

mystery to us how they have kept

such an important matter from the

public notice.

However a syndicate

of men, who are interested in a chic-

ory factory at Grand Haven have de-

cided that it would be a desirable lo-

cality for a similar industry and with

the co-operation of the business men

this project will be made a reality.

A bonus of $1000 and 400 acres of

land is required by the company but

through the energetic efforts of the

business men and farmers, the dillicul-

ty has been overcome and the con-

tract which insures the erection of an

$8000 plant has been signed.

Two acres of land lying across from

the P.O. & N. depot have been pur-

chased of Mrs. Gage and will be used

as the factory site.

Althougi a

small industry of this kind will not

employ many men, those interested

are confident that it will boom busi-

ness and be a great benefit to tim

farmers.

Thirty-three

Cass Cityites

Enjoyed

Them-

selves Flonday Evening.

Sme time ago the Care 1. O. O. F.

lodge extended an invitation to the

members of the Cass City Order to at-

tend their regular meeting, which was

imld on Monday evening.

About

thirty-three from here accepted tile

invitation and enjoyed tim fine sleigh-

ing to Care.

Two degrees were ex-

emplified by the Care team and it, was

after midnight befme that part of the

program was completed.

The Caro

degree team is considered me the best

in the county and their work was

warmly applauded. The CassCity team

performed the work in one degree, the

chief feature being drills whicll were

excellent arid faultlessly executed.

At twelve

o'clock

the banguet,

which had been prepared by members

nf the Rebekah Lodge, wits served in

the spacious dining room.

After the inner man had been re-

freshed, I)r. Meredith presided as

toastmaster. The doctor was at his

best and added much to the pleasure

of;tim hour with his hits of wit and

humor. Toasts were given by Messrs.

Gifford,

McDowcll, Holmes, Keyes

and Laing of Cass City, Chgs. Prun-

nor of Chicago and N. M: Richardson,

H. Bush, S. F. Chase, F. L. Evans and

G. H. Sloeum of Care.

It, was early

Tuesday morning when the guests

began to leave the banquet hall and

it will ever be remembered by tle

Cass City lodge as one of their pleasant

social events.

WARI $6.00 A 10N.

Word comes from Bay City that the

Michigan

Farmers'

Union held a

meeting tlmre last Saturday, the

principal object considered being tlie

arrangement

of the °incorporation

papers w!'ich were signed and go to

Lansing this week.

The members of

the union stated they are determined

to maintain the $6 per ton demand for

beetsor no contract or de'ote their

time to raising,thor crops. If this is

their determination it appears likely

tlmt they will have to raise some-

tiling besides beets.

Tile manufact-

urers have decided tlmt timy can give

no more than $4.50 for 12 per cent

beets, and

the several

companies

claim they are experiencing no dif-

ficulty in securing acreage.

They say

they are paying a higher price for

beets than is paid anywhere else in

the world. Tilere does not appear to

be any conflict between the companies

and farmers in this vicinity and the

extent of the farmers' union as to

membership is not known.

It is to

tile intmest of the farmers and manu-

facturers to work in harmony, and

any differences may wrk t) the dis-

advantage of the farmer as the tend-

ancy is to purchase territory and each

company raise its own beets.

This,

however, is not likely to be resorted

to by more than one or two companies

for some time in the future if at all.
