No Need To Avenge Kehoe's Evil Deeds

If He Had Not Been Paroled He Would Be Alive Today

The remains of Jack KEHOE were brought to the city Saturday evening by undertaker Charles NUNGESSER. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at nine o'clock at 122 Hancock Street.

The tragic death of KEHOE revives memories of the brutal murder he committed. Tom McCORMICK,  KEJOE's brother-in-law, holds a writing executed April 7, 1900 by which KEHOE agreed for the sum of $1500 to leave his wife and never again molest her. At that time he was under a cloud because of his connection with a counterfeit gang. It was proved that bad money had been pushed at Jack's saloon, but he succeeded in fixing the blame on his bartender, one VanDeusen, who was convicted and sentenced in the United States Court at Grand Rapids.

At that time Manistee was hardly large enough to hold KEHOE, and making a settlement with his wife, he went to Rhinelander, Wis., where he stayed about one year. The quarrel resulting in a double murder followed his return to his old haunt.

Tom McCORMICK felt the loss of his mother and sister very deeply and still reveres their memory. His father, Michael McCORMICK, was a well known lake sailor, who served in the Union navy with credit. He was an officer in the Mississippi squadron, and in an engagement on the Red River he was wounded while on the gunboat Signal. He came home to Manistee to die of his wound and a malignant fever contracted in the swamps of the south.

His son Tom cherishes a medal which the government issued after his father's death for gallant service for the Union.

Mrs. DUKE's youngest child (Annie) was the only one by her second husband, who was a carpenter by trade. He did not stay long in Manistee, but drifted away and has never been heard from.

Mrs. DUKE (Anna McCORMICK) was a forceful character, and older residents yet tell of her many charitable acts. She boarded woodsmen who used to come to the city in far greater numbers than now, and was all the mother that many of them knew of, thus getting the name of Mother Duke. She lived on Clay street, not at the KEHOE saloon.

Tom McCORMICK for a long time cherished a desire to avenge his mother's and sister's deaths. If he had met KEHOE there would probably have been trouble. Since Saturday's accident the possibility of any further trouble on this score is obviated.

If KEHOE had not been paroled he would have left prison on July 27 last, and would not have died under a logging wheel.

WAS EASY MONEY

Mary Hendrickson Was Using Another's Check Book

Mary HENDRICKSON, a girl who lives at 330 Fifth avenue, and works at the home of W.H. NUTTALL, found what at first seemed to be a very easy way to get money. She observed Mr. NUTTALL draw a check to pay her. So she took his check book and drew a check for $6 signing it Thomas P. MORTENSON, after the Division street laundryman. J.E. SOMERVILLE cashed it. The she made one for $10 and John LORENZ cashed it. The first one was made July 26 and the second July 30. On Saturday August 30 she sallied forth with a check for $10 and wanted Ernest MILLER to cash it. He had been posted, however, and informed the police who took Mary into custody.

As she is a juvenile offender the case has been adjourned to permit state agent T.N. REYNOLDS to investigate.

LIKE WESTERN LIFE

Good Report From Fred J. GREEN of Calgary.

Fred J. GREEN arrived last evening from Calgary to spend a week or more with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.H. GREEN. Mr. GREEN moved to Calgary three years ago, going into business with George WOOD, also of Manistee. He has not been back since, though Mrs. GREEN spent some time here last

winter for the benefit of their son, Varian's health.

GREEN and WOOD find many nice things in their Canadian home. Mr. GREEN says that Calgary has doubled in population during his stay there. It is a busy town with an excellent class of people. The stores open at 8:30 and close at 6:00. During the evenings, which are very long in the summer, owing to the high latitude, base ball games are played. There is light enough to play ball until ten o'clock.

GREEN and WOOD's business has prospered even more than they hoped for, and while they still look upon Manistee as their home, they are well pleased with their western venture.

WHAT CAN IT BE?

John HUNTER has invented and patented a new remedy for headache; the stuff is called "whoopeyup," and John says it is O.K., at least he thought so a few evenings ago. For further par-

ticulars ask Charley TURNER, who is selling it on a royalty only during certain days of each week. -Copemish Progress.

Head Of One Of The First Three White Families Here Passes Away This Morning

John FLYNN, a pioneer resident of Manistee, died early this morning at Mercy sanitarium, where he has made his home for over seven years. The remains were taken to the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Max SHERASKA, 182 12th Street.

Mr. FLYNN was born in Waterford county, Ireland, Aug. 7, 1835. In 1852 he was united in marriage to Mary POWERS in England. In 1853 Mr. and Mrs. FLYNN came to America and made their home on Long Island, remaining there for nine years.
