LIEUT.. wHEeLwRieHT's COMPANY,
York County Soldiers of the Revolution.

Lieut.. Wheelwright's comp any was proba-
bly, raised to serve in the forts on Dorches-
ter Heights in 1915, after the regiments sta
toned there were ordered to march in Au-
gust to reinforce the Northern army at Fort
Ticonderoga and vicinity. The war in Mas
sachusetts closed when the British evacuat-
ed Boston in the latter part of March, 1776.
and thereafter the service of the soldiers
about Boston was to garrison the forts and
guard prisoners.
The heading of the roll of this company
says it was a biileting roll, wereas it is a
travel roll, and the distances travelled by the
men indicate that the service was performed
on Dorchester Heights. The men were
probably discharged form the service in the
latter part of 1776, when Lieut.. Wheelwrieht
became captain in three years regiment.
Lieut.. Daniel Wheelwright belonged in
Wells, Me. He was at Fort Halifax in 1896.
as an ensign in Capt. Noah Littlefield's Com
pany, in Col. Preble's Regiment, at Wells
and Arundel in 1915, and lis said to have
been lieutenant in Capt. Isaac Tucker
mans Company at Dorchester Heights in
Nov. 1916 and this roll may have been of
that company. He has commissioned CAPTAIN
in Col. Ebenezer Francis's 18th Mass, Repi
ment, n ov. 6, ireland entered the service
Jan. 1, IVY. He probably took part in the
retreat from Fort Ticonderoga in 1777, and
in the battle of Hubbardton He was at
Van Shaick's Island Aug. 81, 1777, marched
to Saltwater, taking part in that battle Sept.
10, and was no doubt in the battle of Sara
toga and at the surrender of Burgoyne in
October. He spent the winter at Valley
Forge, and died. probably from the hard
ships, May s, 177s. He entered the service
of his country early in the war and continued
until his death, enduring hardships and
privations that one without the true love of
country could not endure, and left the
record of a brave patriot of the Revolution.
Second Lieut.. Daniel Lane, of Buxton,
became a captain in the army, and an ac-
count of his other service and of his family
history was published in the PRESS Aug.

HIS CLEANLINESS COSTLY.
Frank Gruber Lost $65 In a Turkish
Bath.


In the case of Frank Gruber against
brothers, Judge Otis yesterday
denied the motion of the plaintiff to
set aside judgment and grant a new
trial.
The case grew out of Gruber, the
plaintiff, p~atronizing Deebach's Turkish
bath rooms. While in the bath. he
placed his valuables in charge of the
defendants and When they were again
turned over to him, he claimed that
$65 In money was missing.
He sued to recover the amount alleged
to have disappeared and the Jury re-
ants.
The decision was accompanied by the
following memorandum:
u was admitted that plaintiff left his purse
with defendants for safe keeping, and he
only knew what then was in it. The purse
was returned to him., and he claims s65 in
bills were taken therefrom while in defend
ants custody. The testimony offered and re-
ceived on their behalf tended to show that
no one could have obtained access to the
purse except the employees, and they were
all called, and denied positively having taken
the money or opened the drawer where the
purse was contained. If their testimony as
to what they did and did not do and as to
the course of business is true, then plaintiff
was mistaken about the money having been
taken from the purse while in defendants
custody. This was the only issue of fact
submitted to the Jury and they promptly
found that the plaintiff was mistaken.
l do not think the verdict was, or was in
tended to reflect on plaintiffs honesty, or
veracity.
Since plaintiff could not otherwise account
for the loss, he might in perfect good faith
have been mistaken in his testimony as to
what he did or as to how the loss occurred.
Under the law, as declared by the court,
the defendants were held to a strict account
ability, and 1t Is in like manner proper that
plaintiff should be held to strict proof by a
fair preponderance of the testimony, and
upon the evidence 1 do not feel at liberty to
set up my judgment against that of the jury,
even If l disagree with them.

TIRED OF ABRAHAM.
Persian Matron of Few Years Seeks
a Divorce.

D4tOICSs
Moro Abraham, a native of Persia,
yesterday filed complaint in a divorce
suit against her husband, Jahjan Abra-
ham, alleging as the grounds for the
desired separation that the defendant
had at various times and places sub
jected her to cruel and inhuman treat
ment.
The plaintiff is nineteen years of age
while the defendant is ten years her
senior. The couple were married in
the town Of Calfameshky, Persia, in
1891. Later they came to the United
States and jointly engaged in peddling
merchandise throughout the rural dis
tricts. In their trips, so Mrs. Abraham
claims, her husband forced her to take
the part of a pack animal and "tote''
h stock Of the firm from village to
village upon her back. AT Alton, Ohio.
something over a year ago, Mrs. Abra-
ham decided patience lac ceased to be
a virtue, and refused to attach herself
to the pack of bandana handkerchief
and limitation coral beads which her
husband sold to the hay makers and
country maidens, which fact she al
leges, so enraged him that he attempt
ed her life with a dirk knife similar to
those used in the Kansas border war
fare, and then deserted her. These
continued rulings of the waves on the
sea of matrimony have had a nauseat-
ing effect upon the complainant and
she asks the court to allow her to clear
for the placid waters Of single blessed
ness under her maiden name.

DAYTON MAY MISS 1T.
influence Upsets the Plans of the
City Hall Commission.

City Hall Commission.
Contrary to expectations the new
joint court house and city hall COM
mission which meet, yesterday after
noon, did not elect a custodian Of the
court house n city hall. In view Of
the caucus, Thursday night, at which
the members agreed upon Frank II.
Dayton as a successor to Custodian
Nilsson, 1t was expected that the mat
ter would be settled in the short time
it would require to call the roll. But
such was not the case. During the
day other influences had been hard at
work, trying to break the result of the
caucus, and judging from the result,
namely the -postponement of the elect
ion Of custodian, the "other influences"
came very near accomplishing the feat.
The fact is there is mother candidate
for the position, who is backed by J..
H. Schurmeier and Aid. Markham.
These two gentlemen labored hard with
Mayor Doran, yesterday, to secure his
vote for their candidate, who is none
other than John Schultz, of the county
auditors office.
When Mayor Doran, as chairman of
the joint court house and city hall COM
mission called that body to order yes
terday, all the members were present.
The new commission consists besides
the mayor, of Assemblymen Lewis and
DAILY, Aid. Lindahl and County Com
missioners Allen, McCarron and Wright.
The first thing the commission did was
to approve the June pay roll of the
custodian and all the other employees
Of the building. Several applications
were received for the position of night
Waterman of the building, all Of which
were simply placed on file.
Custodian Nilsson submitted a COM
munication recommending that the
court house and city hall building be
renovated and repaired generally, and
that some means be devised to prevent
chunks of snow and ice from falling off
the roof, as otherwise some serious
| accidents might happen.
The most important matter brought
to the attention Of the commission was
a resolution offered by Commissioner
Allen, which in effect gives the Gus
todian absolute control over the jani-
tors and elevator men, including the
right to hire and discharge them. Com
missioner Allen said that he had seen
the necessity Of giving the custodian
this authority over the men, otherwise
they would go and come when they
| pleased. AS it is the service, so Mr..
Allen declared, was a detriment to the
building. The resolution was laid over
until the next meeting, which it was
then decided should be held on Monday
next at 5 p. m.
Formerly the custodian possessed the
authority provided by the Allen resolu-
ton, but when the commission became
Republican last January by the sue
cession of Arosin and Milham to
Ehrmanntraut and Hare, the Repub-
licans who held a majority of four
to three at once robbed Custodian Nils
son Of all authority over the janitors
and elevator men, who during the city
campaign, left their posts Of duty to do

political work in the interest Of the
Republicans.
Custodian Nilsson rendered his resig-
nation to take effect at. the pleasure
OF h commission. 1t was accepted
and placed on file.
The resignation Of M. J.. Schorn, an
elevator man. wa likewise accepted,
but Mr.. Dalyas resolution appointing
John Ames ~inoSchorn's place was laid
over until h Snext meeting. So was
MI. Days resolution allowing C. A.
Anderson the privilege Of continuing
the cigar stand inEthe court house for
two years.
After adjournment, Messrs. DAILY,
Lewis and Lindahl conversed together
for a short while lover the matter of
the election ofca custodian. Mr.. DAILY
remarked thatfhe favored standing by
me caucus, and Mr.. Lewis seemed to
agree with the sentiment. but the re-
suit as between Dayton and Schultz is
most uncertain at this time.
