"Gentlemen of the Jury!" exclaimed a
lawyer not thousand miles away, sum-
ming up COW case, "you have heard the
testimony of my client and you have heard
the evidence of this red headed railroad.
Now, gentlemen, which do you believe?
Do you believe my clients COW walked on
the defendants track and allowed him to
run over her, and with no other motive
than to be run over? Do you believe that
any COW is going to do such thing as
that while humane government stands
ready to protect US and our rights? Do
you believe that COW brought up in this
country as this cow was, with every facili-
ty for knowing the character of this
bloody minded railroad, it's locks dripping
with the gore of your property and mine,
gentlemen, will willfully go upon its
reeking track and stand there while one
ofthis defendants scarnage-stained engines
rushes upon her with its mouth watering
for warm blood? tell you, no gentlemen,
you will not! AS well ask you to believe
that smiling Jehovah looks down ap-
provingly and bids the work proceed
while this gore-stained railroad rushes
headlong upon the dearest rights of man
and clatters up the very gate of swe ct
heaven with the bones and pelts of the
best cows that ever straddled milk pail. -
The jury were unanimously for the plain
tiff.

Maumee Valley pioneers has just passed
over the river. Mr.. John Hively died on

eiehty-two years and over. For fifty
years Mr.. Hively has witnessed the on
ward march of events in this region, and
the future HISTORIAN of these parts must
find for him prominent place among
those hardy settlers who first carved
homes in the wilderness, associated with
the red men and tracked the wild beasts
through the tangled forests of the North

reap the reward of their labors.

fall a distance of forty-hve feet at the

patch from Maysville, dated Jan. 22d,
says: "Our new Court House was the
scene ofa sad accident this evening. Jos.
II. Bainer, a painter from Napoleon, Ohio,
while at work in the dome of the rotun da
slipped and fell forty-five feet to the mar
BILE floor. His entire left side was re-
duced to jelly, and the bones of the leg
and arm protruded through the flesh Sc
that pieces an inch long were extracted
without the use of instruments. He is
living, but can hardly recover. He had
been working about the building over a
year and in half hour would have finally

From the Times. ]


From the Times
"Thursday night, about $3.50 O'Clock, a
fire broke out in Krotz Opera House, and
in few short hours the once beautiful and
imposing edifice was mass of smoking
ruins.
The night was calm, not breath of air
stirring. or the citizens of Defiance would
have witnessed conflagration SURPRISING
ANYTHING in the fire annals of our city.
AS it was, it was only through the almost
superhuman efforts of the Fire Depart
ment that the buildings of E. N. Lewis
and Michael Schultz, between which the
Opera House was sandwiched, was saved
| from destruction. Heller & Waterman,
who occupied the double store-room of
Krotz Opera House building, were burned
out, and saved but small percentage of
| their stock.
ESTIMATED LOSSES.
The following is as close an estimate of
the losses sustained by the sufferers from
the flre as can be gwen at this writing:
Krotz Opera House, $4,000. Insured
for S22,500, divided up as follows: Fire
mems Fund Insurance Company, Califor-
mia, S4,250; Union, California, $4,250;
Glenns Falls, New York, $4,000 William
| Higgins, agent,); Phoenix, Brooklyn, N.
| l,.V
massachusetts, $2,5O0; German American,
N. Y, $4,000; Queen, Liverpool, Eng,
81, 900; (J. M. Preisendorf, agent); West
chester, N. Y, $4,000: (Enos 4 Cameron,
agents.)
Heller & Waterman, $33, 5000. Insurance,
SIS, 900, in the following companies Rich
land Mutual, Mansfield, O., 5000; Buck
eve Mutual, Shelby, o., $4,000: Knox
County Mutual, $1,000; Ashland Mutual,
$5, 900.
The buildings of Michael Schultz and E..
N. Lewis were each damaged to the
amount of 5000, and Smiths block, $25;
covered by insurance.
Damage resulting from removal ofgoods
etc., from buildings: e. N. Lewis, 81 900;
Knapp g. Scott, $25; DR.. Della Rohn, $50;
Haggart & Co., $l00; Mrs. Nellie Kugle,
$40.
The total loss will reach $65,000. The
cause of the fire can only be conjectured
1t is supposed to have originated under
the stage. All sorts of rumors are afloat
1t is the opinion of many that the fire was
the work of an incendiary.

Every community is now blessed, or
cursed, as the case may be, with number
of people whose minds are given to retro
spection, who "sigh for the good old days
whef nlgger was anigger and whiskey
was three cents glass;" Some lover of
cold facts has delved into the mysteries of
domestic economy sixty or seventy years
ago, and developes some interesting facts:
In 1876 one bushel of corn would buy one
pound ofnails. In 1888 one bushel of corn
will buy fifteen pounds of nails. Then it
required some twenty-eight dozen Of eggs
to buy one bushel of salt. One dozen of
eggs will now do the same thing. In 1916
it required sixty-four bushels of barley to
buy one yard of broadcloth. In 1888 five
bushels will buyit. Then one bushel of
wheat was worth one yard of calico. Now
one bushel of wheat will buy twenty FIVE
yards ofa better article. In 1916 pair of
woolen blankets cost as much as a cow.
A cow in 1883 will buy twenty pairs of
blankets, superior in every way,
