There seems to be considerable strife between various cities, including the province of Canada, for the rigiit to try the arch fiend Holmes. It isn't often that such a thingoccurs, but this trial will give a great amount of free advertising.

The general agent for the Pitts Co., feit so good over the sale of the road rollers to this city that he set up a dinner at the Cook House, to the council, city officials and a few others.

Wednesday's Free Press contained a dispatch from Lyons telling how au empty coffin box purporting to contaiu the remains of E. M. Sellman, of Arkansas City, Kansas, had reached that place from Ann Arbor, and how the consignee was unknown there.

This he did, but by rnistake he sent it to Lyons instead of to South Lyons.
