He Only Winked.

The Kind of an Interview Judson Furnished on Helber.

Sheriff Judson, when asked today if he had read the interview with Editor Helber in which the latter explained why Mr. Judson was not to be allowed to boss the appointment of census enumerators who were to be McMillanites, replied that he had. When asked for an interview in reply, the wily ex-sheriff, ex-deputy railroad commissioner, present state oil inspector and next warden, winked. Yes, the truth must be told. He deliberately winked.

Henry Cornwell Dies

He Was An Unostentatious Quiet Man.

Who Possessed Strong Common Sense - He was a Good Citizen and a Michigan Pioneer.

Henry A. Cornwell, of 538 N. Division st., died at his residence Thursday evening about 8 o'clock of paralysis. He had only been ill one week, although he was an invalid most of his life. He was born in Barry, Genessee county, N.Y., March 27, 1823. He came to Michigan in 1834 and lived on a farm in London township, Monroe county until he was 21 years of age. He then came to Fosters and was employed in the woolen mill of Foster & Cornwell. Later the three Cornwell brothers Cornelius, Harvey and Henry were associated together in the manufacture of woolens and paper. He came to Ann Arbor about 30 years ago and this city has been his home since. For some years, until failing health compelled his retirement, he was a director in the First National Bank. His early educational advantages were very limited, the section of country where he spent his early years being new and the school advantages very primitive. His education was mostly acquired in the school of experience. Of his opportunities in this school, he made the most and was successful in his business undertakings, accumulating a liberal competence. He was a man who attended strictly to his own affairs and did little talking. He was of a most kindly disposition and those who knew him best appreciated him most. Many of his kindly, generous deeds never found their way to the public ear but were appreciated all the more on account of the undemonstrative manner in which they were performed. The funeral was held from the house Saturday at 3 o'clock and the interment was in Forest Hill cemetery.

He Married an Actress

After An Ann Arbor Girl Had Got a Divorce from Him.

Now He Lies in a Hospital Dangerously Wounded by a Pistol in the Hands of His Actress Wife.

St. Louis, July 17. - Mrs. Louis W. Holladay, who shot her husband Friday night at their home in North Market st., near the city limits, is under arrest at the Sixth district police station, pending the outcome of his would. Holladay is at the Missouri Baptist sanitarium. The physicians say that his recovery is very doubtful.

Mrs. Holladay says she fired the shot more to frighten than to kill her husband, who she claims had threatened to kill somebody, and from the manner in which he threatened her she supposed she was to be the victim. The police have not notified the parents of Holladay who live in Chicago, but the young man's acquaintances expect that his mother will read of the shooting in the newspaper and come to his bedside.

Mrs. Holladay was a Miss Annie James, of Florissant, a suburb of St. Louis. She was a variety actress, her stage name being Annie Sylvester. It is said that since she married Holladay in 1898 she has returned to the stage once or twice for self-support.

Holladay is well known in this city having attended college here and married Susie Clark, daughter of Charles Clark. About seven years ago she was granted a divorce and was allowed $20,000, she cannot get until he inherits it, or if he dies his two children will get it.
