has filed novel suit in the Henry
circuit court, The suit is filed against
the Smithtield Cemetery company, al
leging that it refused to allow j. il. p.
Rabbit to be buried in his own lot be-
side his wife. The petition is written
i'll Colonel Thorne's most vivid style
and is gruesomc in the extreme.
The trustees of the cemetery all
lege that the lot i'm question was never
paid for and will file a counter claim
on the estate for seven years rent for
the occupancy of the grave by the
dead mans wife. AS the plaintiff
lives in Indiana there is a possibility
that the case will be transferred to
the United States court for trial.

In a review of the worlds coal trade
published in England four years age
it was stated that between 1ss3s5 and

lower than the value of the coal at the
