TURNER should have staid here, where he was lionized to quite an extent, and given the confidence, and constant ovation of many of our people, notwithstanding reports which were freely circulated derogatory to his character.

BENSON, saloonkeeper. It is alleged TURNER gave BENSON a draft for $29 which was protested at the bank in Grayling, on which it was drawn. Attorney I. A. GILBERT had endorsed the draft. BENSON couldn't get his money and swore to a complaint.
Mr. TURNER was supplied with funds when he reached here with the detective and he was given an opportunity to settle the matter, which he did, and therefore he was not arraigned. Mr. TURNER said he drew the draft with the understanding that one of the persons interested, who he said owed him money, was to pay it, but that he did not do so. (22 Mar 1906)-E. E. TURNER, formerly an attorney of this village, who succeded J. C.

Atty. last fall, died in that village the 6th inst. The body was taken to Owosso for interment. He leaves his wife and four children to mourn his going. (16 May 1907)
