Raising The Taxes

Zina Buck, Ypsilanti's deputy marshal, like the early bird, caught the worm Sunday morning. A couple of weeks ago the Russell boys were held up in Ypsilanti and relieved of the annoying encumbrance of sixty cents. The two men, who thus laid themselves liable to the charge of highway robbery, lighted out. Last Saturday night it was reported that Edward Fretner, who was charged with the offense, had returned home. Buck aróse a little earlier than the lark and routed Fretner out of bed at four o'clock Sunday morning.' Fretner begged not to be put in t-he Ypsilanti lockup as his father had committed suicide there last fall. The officer accommodated him by bringing him to Ann Arbor and lodging him in the county jail by six o'cloek, Sunday morning.
