Whipple going to Kalamazoo where she
found employment and he followed his
chosen profession, that of horse trading
Whipple lay his grievances at the
door of his mother-in-law, and his desire
for revenge was too strong for
him and Saturday night, thinking Mrs.
Black was alone, drove to the shack, removed
his shoes and prepared for his
fiendish act. He gained admittance to
the house by pulling off a board and
went to the cot of Mrs. Black, where
the above tragedy was enacted. In an
effort to free herself she was slashed
across the left hand, leaving a deep,
ugly wound. Her screams awakened
her grandson, who went to her aid.
Whipple became frightened by his appearance,
ran to the road, got into a rig
and made for Paw Paw. He went to
the home of Mr. Flanders, who lives in
the eastern part of the village, calling
on him at 2a. m. From there he came
to the camp of the "horse traders"
about miles southwest of town.

him and brought him to Jail,

weighs 150 pounds and claims
Mich as his home.

time the assault was made were William Black,
a grandson, and Bert Manley,
who are witnesses against him.

before Judge Rowland and waived ex
amination to the charge of attempted
murder and his bail was placed at
$1500. He is in jail awaiting trial in circuit court.

Local Department Frank Gieser, the Lawton man whose
arrest was chronicled in the Northerner
last week, for a brutal assault on his
father, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault
and battery before Justice Stanton
of Lawton, Wednesday. The 'squire
promptly imposed a sentence of $200 fine
or 365 days in jail, completely ignoring
the fact that the limit of a justice's jurisdiction
in criminal cases is $100 or 90
days. Gieser is now in jail, and will
probably remain there 90 days, when he
will doubtless be released by the sheriff.
Before the sentence was imposed, the
magistrate was advised by the prosecuting
attorney as to the extent of his jurisdiction,
but he evidently consulted the statue, which fixes
the extreme penalty as he imposed it –
but it takes a circuit judge to make it stick.

On the oath of J. Herbert Cissil, presi-

Chicago. He took the money usually in
amounts of about SIOO, but on each of
