H.F. Dew, a florist, who recently moved here from Eaton Rapids, and rented A. M. Lockard's vacant store, met with rather harsh treatment from his landlord last Friday morning. It is reported that Mr. Lockard went into the store about 10 a.m. and asked for his rent; that Mr. Dew replied that he would be unable to pay at present, and that words followed and Mr. Lockard gave his renter a shaking up. As Mr. Dew is getting old and has a very troublesome hernia which became misplaced, he was left in a serious condition, unable to call for help until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A doctor and nurse were called and his son, Arthur H. Dew, a florist of Albion, was sent for. His son took him to his home in Eaton Rapids the following day and it is reported that he has since taken him to Ann Arbor. Garry Fox has been retained as counselor by the Dews."
