man. In 1916 he took a claim of 2, 700
acres of land on the present site of the
city of Cleveland. He became wealthy
and left his estate to three sons, Absa-
lom, Leonard and Steven. Leonard
died leaving no heirs; Absalom and Ste
ven left families and the late Leonard
Case was a grandson of one of them.
His father, Leonard Case, ST.. married
a Connecticut lady. The property that

ACCORDING to Washington special
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, it is exceedingly
hard to tell whether Ohio or Illinois is to
take, after the next census, the place Of third
State in the Union, which the former has
held so long. Ten years ago Ohio numbered
1885,, 3O2 inhabitants, and Illinois 2,529, 4o1,
or 1882 less than the Buckeye State,
and the Illinoisians are very sanguine that
their State has overtaken and passed this
lead.

burg, broke on the morning of the 3Oth at

in wheat, much Of which had just been
harvested and was standing In the shock, and
the remainder mostly in corn. The property
