MIDLAND TRACK REPAIRED.
The Order of Judge Baker Read to
the Granthams.

A deputy United States marshal read the
order of Judge Baker to Wesley Grantham
at his home, near Ladoga, Friday night, at
10 o'clock. and force of men went TO work
Immediately to repair the Midland track.
Only about an hour was required to repair
the track and bridges on the Grantham
farm, and trains began running yesterday
morning.
About fifty cars of coal on the Midland
sidetracks at Ladoga will be moved at once
and traffic will be resumed.
Grantham's attorneys claim that the
statements in the affidavit fileu in Judge
Bakers court were false from the fact that
the sheriff of the county, acting under or
der of the Circuit Court, cut the Grantham
farm, and that Grantham did not do it. as
was stated In the affidavit
When the Midland men began TO repair
the bridge they found dynamite was con-
cealed under the structure and were very
cautious in their movements, but they
found that no explosive had been used at
any time Only two or three rails had been
removed from the ties, and only small
portion OF one small bridge had been torn
out
There has not at any time been any
armed mob at the scene of the trouble and
there has been no excitement whatever
about the matter. The people there feel
that the Granthams should be paid what
Is due them for the right OF way through
the farm, but they also desire 70 have the
Midland run its trains. The road is in bad
condition in every way.

INDIANA FORESTS.
Facts Contained I'm a Paper Read by
John r. Brown.

A paper containing much interesting in
formation regarding the timber supply of
the country was read before the recent
convention of the Indiana Retail Lumber
Dealers Association, held in this city. by
John P. Brown, of Connersvilie, who is
secretary of the Indiana Forestry Asso-
citation. The title of the paper was 'The
Forests of America" Speaking of erron-
eous impressions that have been made as
to the condition of the forests of America.
Mr.. Brown said: "The United States Geo.
logical Survey claims that 81 per cent. of
the area of the United States is forest.
which averages 1,5OO feet to the acre, MAX
ing a total of 1850, 900. 900 feet of tim
Der. which will last for fifty years. This
is an enormous overestimate. Not one
fourth of that quantity exists. Eminent
correspondents in every State support this
assertion. Sixty per cent. of our land area
is prairie and arid, treeless plain, only 40
per cent. having been timbered. Two hum
dred years of clearing, extensive lumber
ing, opening Of great agricultural States
and vast forest fires have reduced the tim
Der area
Indiana has not one-tenth of the forest
claimed by the authorities. The region
which must supply the manufacturing es-
Establishments of the central States con-
cial timber, which will be exhausted in a
very few years. In Indiana we once had
0.OOh square miles or magnificent timber,
which has been reduced to LOCO square miles,
the most of which is of an inferior quality.
In early times the Ohio river towns were
all booming, when fiatboats loaded and
carried produce to Southern markets. Now
there are no fiatboats. The rich farm land
that supported these prosperous towns has
been swept into the river since the hillsides
were Invested Of timber. and the land has
lost its fertility. The planting of forests
upon these barren hills would again restore
the rich soil and vitalize its productive
ness.
1.-The methods of Washington authorities
in taking census figures twenty years old
for estimating present areas should be
condemned. since our most productive lands
were forests then and no such timber areas
now exist. These overestimates cause an
indifference of our people to forest pro-
lection. The too-great competition among
lumber manufacturers results in wasteful-
ness Our population in thirty years will
be 100000, with greater demand for
lumber, and it is the duty of this gen.
Grafton to preserve our forests and MAIN
tain a portion of IL permanently. The gov
eminent should retain all remaining timber
lands, selling only the marketable trees and
protecting the growing ones"

An Appeal Taken.

An appeal out Of the ordinary was taken
to the Supreme Court yesterday. 1t is
from judgment in favor of Byron H. Dy-
son, of Anderson. which held that all the
property his mother has is trust for her
until her death, and then 1t is to be left
to the son. She is seventy-five years old.
She sold a house and lot her son bought
for her two years ago, and a man about
fifty years old married her. She had
IS 200 in the bank. and from this she drew
quite freely for her husband. On the night
of the marriage the son brought suit, al
leging that the money belonged to him
and that the property was only a trust.
The court sustained his contention and
issued an order that the income from the
property should be paid to the mother and
upon her death the property should go to
her son.

FIRST GAMES PLAYED

The first games Of the City Basket Ball
League were played last evening at the
Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium. The Shortridge
High School defeated Butler and the Y.
NJ c. A were victorious over the Manual
Training High School by the score of %
to 16 and ~ to 2. respectively. The Short
ridge boys were much better matched with
Butler than were the Training School
players with their opponents. The big Y.
NJ c. A. players gave a good exhibition or
team work and displayed excellent form In
all departments of the game. The work
of their opponents was very ragged at
most stages. but they made some improve
ment towards the last. Time after time
they missed easy chances for goal and this
one fact Is largely accountable for their
low score. Only in the last thirty seconds
of play did they succeed In getting the
ball in the basket.
The Shortridge boys played with much
snap and were complete masters of the Sit
uation. Only for brief intervals did the
Butler players manage to forge ahead
The Shortridge boys put up a far better
game than they played against Crawfords-
vile, showing improved form in all the
features of the game.
