An operation was performed that afternoon which was entirely successful, however, his condition is still considered to be serious.
- Frank Antene, a butcher employed in the Joseph Sleder & Sons' meat market, suffered a serious accident on his right hand Monday due to the manipulation of the sausage cutter. While attending the machine, he caught his fingers and they were so badly injured that amputation to the first joint was necessary.
- Mrs. Carol Brower, aged 43 years, of Mayfield, died Saturday from the effects of gunshot wounds inflicted with suicidal intent. The ball entered her breast and came out the back. She had just returned from the Grand Traverse hospital where she had been convalescing from a former attempt. She leaves a husband and five children.

- Sergeant Arnold, who was in charge of the United States recruiting office here some months' ago, returned this morning and will open an office here again, remaining until Christmas. The sergeant likes Traverse City better than any other post to which he has been assigned.

- A mysterious happening at the home of Walter Mull, two mile northeast of Acme, is causing much talk and although it occurred nearly two weeks ago, no explanation has yet been advanced as to the cause. While Mrs. Mull and her daughter were in the parlor, there was a rattle in the kitchen cupboard and again a short time later. Taking a lamp, Mrs. Mull went into the kitchen, looked inside the cupboard and at that instant the dishes began to move and rattle again. It remains a mystery to the two women.

He was taken ill at the We-que-tong Club that evening and the ambulance was summoned to take him to his home. Everything that skillful and loving service could plan was done but he never regained consciousness.
