Constable Holds Men/’ Devil
Herman Men/.’ statue ot, the devil at
Dtnveris being guarded by a consta
ble. The image was set up two
months ago by Men/., who is not a be
liever in the deity, and wrought this
statue to symbolize his feeling as to
the future. A constable with a writ
of replevin called at the home of the
old German stonecutter and levied on
the idol. The owner resisted the de
mand of the otlieer, and he and his
family tried to save the statue from
capture, even going so far as to bring
a sledge hammer to smash it to hits.
The constable and his assistants were
successful in removing the statue, and
thus made return on the writ that was
-worn out by Warren West, of Ypsi
lanti, on a claim of 151.40 for labor,
part of which was performed on
“Beelzebub.”
An ore shoot appearing at the sur
face and at some distance from an end
line of the claim, and which in depth
passes beyond this end line into the
adjoining claim, cannot be followed by
the owner of the apex beyond his end
line. The ore shoot then passes to the
owner of this adjoining claim, even
though the apex of the vein is un
known at the surface of his claim.
The end line bounds and terminates all
rights in that direction.

Claim of Vegetarians
Vegetarians contend that llesh-eating
is not only immoral -immoral because
it necessitates the wanton taking of in
o(Tensive life -but also extravagant,
for whereas twelve acres of land, il
used for the rearing of cattle for
slaughter, will maintain one man
feeding on the llesh produced, the
same area under wheat will maintain
twenty-three, and on a mixed crop ol
fruit, pulse, grain and vegetables a
still higher number.
