Caught On So Quick

Hou. Bryon S. AA'aite, a member of the last legislatura, and one who has made himself prominent in the State, moved to Detroit recently from Menominee, and from the following article, wliicli appeared in last night's Evenhig News, it would'seem as if he was uick at "catching on." Being a gradúate of the University and a sou-in-law f D. Cramer, the article will he read-' Ijle here : ProaecutingAttorney Frazerannouncd to The News tliis morning tliat he had appointed Byron S. AVaite as his ourth assistant. Mr. AVaite, althou-h comparatively a neweomer to Detroit, ïaving made tliis city his home since lis removal form Menominee some nontlis ago, is well known throughout he state for his record as a representative in the legislatura. He served as a ■epublican from Menominee during the ast session, and also was a representative in 1889. Mr. Wake is a lawyer of experience and ability, having been in continuous practice since bis graduation from the Michigan university in the literáry class of 'SO. In the early years of bis practice be was a memberof the firm of Cramer & Waite, of Ann Arbor, Mr. Waite living at Dundee at the time, where a branch office was estabKshed. Since thenhe has been a resident of Menominee. "The appointment of Mr. Waite," said Mr. Frazer to The News, "is by authority of an act of tegislature in 1893 entitling this ortice to four aseistants. For two years I feit that we could get along without the appointment, and we have done so witli some inconvenience. Bat new business will develop in the office which requires the services of a new man to help us. As yon know, the grand jury is about to sit, and that will take all of my attention, probably for some time to come. "I propose also to commence the investigfition of forfeited bonds. There are a large number of cases on the docket of the recorders' court against the j sureties of bonds which have been forfeited by the non-appearance of defendants. Heretofore the sales of property and all details of the collection of bonds have been leftin the hands of the sheriff, and no attention has been paid to them. That is a matter which must be looked after. I have 110 doubt that Mr. Waite will be able to more than make up his salary in enforcing the penaltiea of bonda which are now lying in the sheriff's hands. Mr. Waite has a ood n behind him and I feel sure that he wilí make a valuable assistant."
