Fight Over Opera House Ownership Sparks Armed Standoff in Michigan
In Saint Marie Michigan on March 14 a bitter dispute over ownership of an opera house erupted. Guards with shotguns and revolvers guard the inside while armed parties patrol outside to starve out opponents. Scranton represents the first mortgage holder and, with Mrs Shuts, has forced out the deputy sheriff. Sheriff McNaughton and his men are outnumbered and their efforts to regain control fail. The conflict stems from a mortgage error that separates the house from its ground. Henrietta Shutt holds a mortgage on the contents and protects it with armed guards. All sides are armed and tension rises as authorities prepare for possible violence.
