Poised with the cane is James Finnell, veteran of 36 years in farm auctioneering in Washtenaw county. The sale was under way on the Dancer farm, two miles southwest of Dexter.

Cyril Spike & Eber Baker Hold Brampton Beau at Dhu Varren Farms, December 1936 Photographer: Eck Stanger

Caption:
ACQUITTED OF KILLING OWNER: In a public trial, conducted with deadly seriousness, a jury of 12 men on the Isle of Jersey, acquitted the bull shown above, Brampton Beau, of killing his owner. The alternative was public execution. The bull recently arrived from the Isle by way of Chester, N. Y., at the Dhu Varren Farms, Whitmore Lake Rd., where he will remain for one year when he will be shipped back to his owner, Edmund Butler of Chester, N. Y. He is a register of merit bull. Shown holding the bull, above, are Cyril Spike, left, and Eber Baker, right, who say that the story about the former owner's death made a more lasting impression on their consciousness than the story of the Bull's acquittal for alleged complicity in the death.

HIGHER THAN THESE KNEES: Kenneth and Mark Nobilette, aged 6 months and almost 3, respectively, have the farmers' interests at heart as they check to see whether the corn in this Earhart Rd. field is "knee high by the Fourth of July." The plant they are measuring is up to anyone's knees, but in many fields corn growth has been delayed this year by the late spring. The boys are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas A. Nobilette.
