"Mrs. Mary Craig, a colored woman employed as a domestic by the Wilder families on S. Monroe St. had a very peculiar experience while returning home from work last evening. When passing the lumber sheds on E. Cass St, some miscreant, thug or robber, who was hidden in the upper part of the shed, hurled a brick which struck Mrs. Craig on the top of the head." February 9, 1922. "A warrant was issued this morning by Justice W. S. Price for the arrest of Fred Dusik, charging him with malicious destruction of property. The complaint was made by Mrs. Sophia Dubina, proprietor of a pool room on Austin Avenue, just east of Albion St. Mrs. Dubina states that Dusik, formerly one of her boarders, deliberately kicked in the glass of a large show case in her place of business Tuesday, and also entered her home, from which she had difficulty in getting him to leave." "Clarence M. Bowe, ice cream maker for the Campbell Dairy Products Company at Homer, suffered painful injuries recently when a knife with which he was cutting ice cream bricks slipped, slashing his left hand so badly that medical aid was summoned." February 10, 1922. "John C. Dunn, local agent for the Michigan Central, stated this morning that the company expected to move into the new union freight house about February 15. The building is completed and only the interior decorations need to be finished." "Stanley Kresge, son of S. S. Kresge of Detroit, owner of the Kresge system of five and ten cent stores, was in Albion yesterday making arrangements to enter Albion College." "Residents of S. Superior St. and thoroughfares leading off that street are complaining of the depredations of a milk bottle thief. This individual…is taking money from the bottles, place there for the milkman." February 11, 1922. "The Albion Malleable Iron Company’s plant will start Monday on a new schedule which will make for greater production. A ten-hour day will go into effect, on a five day per week basis. This will result in better wages for many of the company’s employees." February 14, 1922. "The parsonage of St. Paul’s Evangelical Church, S. Superior St., was visited by robbers about 5 o’clock Monday afternoon. Fifty dollars in cash and a watch were stolen. The money, which belonged to one of the church mission funds, was in a drawer in a desk and its hiding place was evidently known to the thieves, who apparently did not look elsewhere in the house for other valuables." February 20, 1922. "The report that the Rice Creek school was resumed today in the vacant store at Rice Creek is incorrect. School will commence tomorrow at the residence of Peter Alexander who lives about a half mile north of the burned school building and who kindly offered a vacant room at his home." February 22, 1922. "Charles M. Quigg, son of Mrs. and Mrs. Charles Quigg, Highland Avenue, arrived in this country February 14, from Coblenz, Germany. He has been in the air service of the U.S. Army of occupation in Germany." February 27, 1922. "High Chair Invented by Menno Davis Big Success, Will be Made in Albion.

Yesterday, while fishing through the ice at Reymond’s Lake was of Concord with for other Albionites, he pulled in a large-mouth bass weighing seven pounds. Parks will have his large bass mounted by Alfred Tuchtenhagen." Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Noakes, who have been living on the E. J. Finley farm east of the city, moved Friday and Saturday to the farm owned by James Sheldon Riley, two miles west of Albion, which they will work this year."
