Ypsi's Daily Up The Spout

YPSI'S DAILY UP THE SPOUT

LIVED FOR A WEEK AND QUIT WITHOUT WARNING

NOTHING HAD BEEN HEARD OF EDITOR FRANCIS FOR TWO DAYS

About a week ago the Argus chronicled the pleasant news that Ypsilanti would have a daily paper - the Daily Sentinel - and thereby Ypsilantians could read the daily local news of their town. The paper was started by Mr. Francis, who recently purchased the Weekly Sentinel. The daily appeared for a few days but since Thursday neither the Daily nor Weekly Sentinel has been issued.

Later: - Since the above was in type a staff reporter visited Ypsilanti and found that Mr. Frances had returned home. He was seen at his residence this afternoon and stated that he had not absconded. He had come up to Ann Arbor Friday and had had an attack of appendicitis, but had recovered and would be down at his office tomorrow. He did not know why the boys in his office had not gotten out the weekly and the daily and he expected to resume publication of both. 

A visit to the Sentinel office revealed the fact that Mr. Francis had said nothing to his employees about any intended absence and the weekly had not been issued because the patent insides could not be gotten out of the express office without the cash being put up.

Babbitt & Kirk took possession of the office Monday afternoon on behalf of M. T. Woodruff who holds a $1,500 mortgage on the plant.
