A Desirable Citizen

Chas. E. Gallup, who some weeks since bought the residence of Frank E. Stivers, 802 Kingsley street, east, and occupied it with his family Oct. 1st., is about to establish himself in business here as a permanent resident and will open a real estate office in the office of Stivers & Storm, in the Ann Arbor Savings Bank block. Mr. Gallup came from Hudson, where he had been successfully engaged in business for many years and is well equipped to push the work in which he will engage with energy, intelligence and integrity. Men like Mr. Gallup are wanted in hustling Ann Arbor and his coming is a source of congratulation to the city.

Mr. George Walling, of Clackamas County, has been troubled recently with thieves. The first was a large panther, which visited his farm on Saturday night and began to make sad havoc among a flock of fine sheep. The varmint was soon killed by Mr. W. and by this time we suppose it has a place in Buchtel & Cardwell’s cabinet of curiosities. The next thief was a two-legged one, who entered the house and appropriated several articles of clothing, etc., of not much value, however. Mr. Walling did not succeed in capturing the last-named “varmint.” (Portland Oregonian, April 24, 1912)
