BUNKER
JUSTICE DAVID HEARS THE HIS
TORY or THE ANIMAL AND
SAYS SHE BEE0NGS TO
BUNKER PULIEM.
Evidence in the Action Of Detinue Over
a Horse, Once in Partnership, Shows
the Danger of Business Alliance


That gray mare belongs to Bunker
PuIIem is the decision Of Justice David
IN the detinue proceedings Bunker
brought in his court against Clyde Pull
lem, his step-son, to recover possession
of the animal The animal has had a
long and varied career, both as to owner
ship and service. An interesting story
is connected with her, a story that points
out the annoyances and misunders stand
inga of business partnership, other
than the matrimonial, with the queen Of
most ordinary households. The lesson
IS taught that it is well to form a con-
nubiaI partnership with woman, but
dangerous ordinarily to go into business
with her, and periIous to permit her to
assume the management of mems af-
fairs, although it is frequently the case
that she does much more successfully,
when she undertakes it ana ofttfmes there
il no doubt that the wife would be the
better business man, if she had the cour-
age and lack of true appreciation of wo'
manly character to usurp the right.
Several years ago Mr.. and Mrs Pullem
purchased gray animal of Hiram Mum
day. the former paying one dollar and
the latter $ll for the purchase. Bunker
trnded and retraded this animal with
the consent of his spouse, and finally
traded it for the gray mare in contro-
versy. He used and Kept her quite a
while and then traded her for pony,
which proved vicious in its habits. Mrs.
Pullem was very much dissatisfied with
the pony, which doubtless had enough
tuition to become aware of Mrs. Pullem's
displeasure, and guessed that she was
perfectly willing that it should do away
with Bunker.
According to the testimony Of Pullem
and his daughter. Mrs. Tullem wanted
her Sll back at the breakfast ta-
BILE many months ago and remarked that
if her husband would reimburse her
to that amount. he could have the pony
as his own. In other words, she remarked
that he could have the pony and go to
the devil. Mrs. 2ullem, however, denies
that she said anything of the sort, but
She admits that he pulled $50 Quit oS
his pocket, laid it on the table and left
the house She took the money and did
not return it to him, thinking, as she
says, that it ought to be taken care OF.
Mrs. Pullem claims. that she gave the
mare to her son, Clyde, last winter. but
kept her ut home. Last week she sent
the mare by her daughter to Henry
Wines. Bunker went there and demand
ed the marc, but was refused possession
of her. He then instituted the action
in detinue, with the result that Monday
morning the justice decided the mare
belonged to Bunker

MORE TRACK
FACILITIES
Pennsylvania Company Wants a
Fourth Line Through the
City.
ORDINANCE IS BEFORE COUNCIL.

The Pennsylvania railway company
is preparing to increase the yard and
side track facilities of the Fort Wayne
road in Canton, and preliminary 10
this an ordinance was introduced into
the city council at its meeting Monday
evening asking for the right to lay a
fourth track through the city. What
was sougt was permission to cross thr
various streets and alleys along the
right Of way of the company. The
ordinance contemplates fourth lino
of track from stark siding on the east
and Harrison avenue on the west line
of the city.
Councilman Paxson stated that the
object of this was to perfect the plan
for making the Fort Wayne yards
Stark siding and have nothing but
running lines through the city, except
where switches run into private con-
Germs
Through a great portion OF the city
the fourth track is already down In
the shape of side tracks, but they are
not connected The intention is to
unite all the sections on the north
side of the main track, and as far as
possible the local work will be done
over this line so that three tracks can
be kept open through the city and
there will be less delay than under the
present congested conditions of things
Large tracts of land have been ne
gotiated for at Stark siding for yard
purposes and all the making up Of
trains will be done outside the city.
reducing the chance of accident to the
public.
The ordinance was read for the first
time and referred to the proper CON-
mittee. Some of the councilmen dis
cussed it in an informal way, but
about all that was desired was infor-
nation as to the intention of the COM
pany.

Observation-Disclosures MUCH
MISERY TO THE POOR Of STARK
Many of Them Have Applied to the Infirmary for
Food and Shelter--Supe erintendent is Fearful
That Coal Supply May Become Exhausted.

Canton is still in the grasp of the ice
king There was not a time Monday
when the thermometer got above zero
and as the nlgnt approached the cold
became more intense. Fortunately the
wind fell to gentle breeze compared
with what it had been the night be-
fore. and travel was less difficult. The
second cold night caused even more
suffering than was experienced before.
with the poor where the supply of
fuel was short the consumption was
great and the result was that Tues
day there was a great demand for
coal. Applications were numerous tr
the township trustees and they did
not refuse a single request.
All over the city the charity dis
posed people were looking after their
less fortunate neighbors and while
there was some suffering and destitu-
ton it was where the authorities or
ncighbors were not advised of 1t. 1t
is said that in a number of instances
where pride prevented an application
to the public charities, there was
!some suffering. ...
At the infirmary the applications for
admission and relief were the most
numerous this winter. From Canton
alone there we're half dozen or moro
who had to seek shelter in the county
institution. Persons from Alliance
and from all over the county, driven
to the Necessity by the cold, sought
shelter and food.
Superintendent Bixler stated Tues
day morning that people were flock
ing into the infirmary in large num-
bers and the inmates now numbe,
over 325. They are crowded for room,
but are doing the best they can. Every
day tramps call for food and while
there is no law for feeding this class
CT people. the superintendent never
turns them away hungry and coca
sionally they are kept over night.
Those that have come in during the
cold spell are in an especially pitIable
condition.
Superintendent Bixler stated that he
was fearful that they would run out OK
coal at the infirmary, and if they did
there would be a great deal of suffer
ing. The greater number of the in
mates are quartered in little frame
outbuildings that do not keep ont the
cold. and it is only by persistent firing
that they are made habitable. Should
the coal supply fail the result would
be disastrous. .I..
There is coal enough only to run
four or Ave days. Several carloads
have been ordered for some time. rut
there Is no certainty as to when IL
will be delivered.
throughout the city Of Canton men
who are compelled to be out of doors,
teamsters, and other laborers, suffer
a great deal from cold and frosted
ears, toes and fingers are common.
The coal teams have to go, no matter
how cold it gets, and the drivers are
the greatest sufferers 1t is noticeable
that all teamsters are careful of their
horses, using blankets to protect them
from the cold, especially when they
are not moving
