10 the Editor of the Kenosha Telegraph :

TO the Editor of the KenoSha Telegraph:
I hand you the decision of the Supreme
Court Of the United States in the suit of
J. T. Samson VS.. Guy of Kenosha. This
decision is designed and does cover the
suit above mentioned also the suit of
Campbell vs.. City of Kenosha, and to
make it apply to the Campbell suit the
readers must strike out the words, Bonds
and Coupons where they occur and insert
the word Scrip.
The main points presented by our
attorneys were these, First The con-
to borrow money in unlimited amounts
and, Second; Our Supreme Court has
decided that our charter under which
the ten per cent Bonds and Scrip were
issued was unconstitutional.
Both these points you will see is over
ruled and the Supreme Court has ignored
their former decisions.
ne court say III INC last seH'ehceS VI
this decision that at the time this laon
was made the decision of the court
favored the validity of the law
This may be so, but have never seen
any decision of our court that looks like
it-But you have the decision of the
court and we must abide by it. Please
publish it. Yours,
G. T. VAN ARsDALE.

SAM PATcH.-This famous jumping hero
of generation ago, was native of Pawtuck-

side, but most or MS Jumping -c-plei.s ruare
performed in New York State. A successful
leap that lie made October H. 1928, at Niaga-
IA Falls, is thus described:
''Sam has made his great jump. The day
was lowery and rainy. However, the number
of 800 persons assembled the island to wit
ness tie feat, and the Canadian shore was
crowded. To view the platform erected for
the fearless Patch from the Biddle stairway.
did not appear so grand, as the platform
reached only about two-thirds the hight of
the bank; but 10 descend to the margin Of
the water, in the gulf beneath, and there look
up at the perpendicular ladder, made you i'm
agine that it would require superbuman
powers to accomplish such an enterprise
Sam assembled the LADDER and remained on
the top about ten minutes, resting himself aud
adjusting himself for the leap during which
he was repeatedly cheered by the spectators.
AT length he rose every eye was bent intent
ly on him, he waved his hand and kissed the
star-spangled banner that foated gracefully
over his head, and then precipitated himself
like an arrow into the hood below. Twas
matchless and tremendous leap. He very
soon reappeared, and swan TO the shore with
GREAT ease Then it was that painful and
unpleasant yet ndescribable sensation was
driven from each breast by the food of ioy
which succeeded on seeing that he was safe
Then it was that the bcnumbing spell, which
had relSned from the moment he arose on the
platform, was broken by the bursts of The
voices of congratulations
The jumping hero made his last and fatal
leap No7. IL, 1929, at Genesee Falls, which is
thus chronicled -
"Sam Patch is no more. He made his last
leap from scaiod erected on the bank ofihe
falls this afternoon. The staging was eeva
ted 70 ieet. He sprang tearlessly from it and
descended about one.third OF the distance as
handsome as he ever did. He then evidently
beear to droop, bis arms extended and his
legs separated; and in this condition he struck
the water and sunk forever! 1t was a fearful
