OF ST. Georges The Shippers cannery
failed and was indebted to numerous
farmers for the tomatoes contracted for.
Recently other parties desired to op-

not contract to raise the tomatoes un-
less they we're paid for the tomatoes
they had lost last year. And naturally
they could not make such deal.

Queer Case.

The Supreme court decided very
peculiar case from Seneca last week.
Many years ago an old man named
Sam Cadwallader who had been all
over the world, and having grown
wealthy, settled near Tif1in and be-
came miser. At his death his farm
was sold to a man named Jacob
Schmucker. The day Schmucker
moved upon the farm his little boy
and dog started rat which ran un-
der the house. The boy and dog
digging for the rat came upon a lot
of money. Schmucker's attention
being called to it, he commenced
digging and turned up, it is said
three or four buckets full of gold and
silver money. His hired man got
some of il, but it was all taken by
Schumacher to Tiffin to be cleaned up.
The hired hand claimed that
Schmucker refused to give him his
share and he sued for it. In this way
the heirs of Cadwallad er heard Of
the find. There was no doubt that
their eccentric father had buried it,
but to prove the property was a diff
ticult thing. Schmucker beat the
hired man in court, and by the Su-
preme courts decision to-day retains
possession of the whole find. 1t is
believed it reached $4,000, He paid
off mortgage to that amount soon
after
