The Gallup-Bickel case, notorious
because of the unique Injunction secured
by John Gallup of Milton junction, re-
straining Thomas Bickel from speaking

Louie Gallup on a serious criminal
charge, was dismissed in the municipal

The pupils of the Eighth grade of
the public schools are delighted over the
announcement that the Women's Relief
Corps will award a gold medal to the
one having the highest average standing
for the year in U. S. history. This is a
| worthy act on the part of the ladies
and we hope that it will result in awak-
ening new interest in the study. No
part of the school curriculum has a
greater influence in making patriotic,
good citizens than has the study of
American history, and while but one can
win the prize, all will, without doubt,
| profit by it. Such a manifestation of inr
terest in the work being done in the
school is not only direct incentive to
the pupils to put forth greater efforts
and inspiration to the teacher.
"A team owned by Henry Schmeling
of the U. S. Hotel took a lively runaway
up Front street Monday morning. They
were standing at the railway siding to
| be loaded with coal when they became
| frightened at the moving of the car and
! took turn about the Whittet warehouse
where they left the box and hind wheels
| and then passed up the street with the
balance of the rig at atlively pace. When
opposite Babcock & Birkenmeyer's one
of the wheels came off, rolling upon the
| sidewalk and crashed into a showcase
| standing in front of their store. The
| street was filled with teams, and while
several rigs were struck by the runaway
no great damage was done. The team
| was finally caught in Thos. Westlake's
yard but only a small portion of the rig
| they were attached to remained with
| them.
