a rescript filed says:
The petitioner asks us 10 hold that
the words personal service in said proviso,
means personal service upon the defend
ant and exclude service at the last and
usual place OF abode OF the defendant,

I'VE think, however. that the history OF

the language OF the section I'm question.

RESCRIPT FILED IN The
M'D0hALD.MAHADY CASE

The appeal of the defendant in the case
of Della Il. Mcdonald VS.. Maria Mahady
that plaintiff in her slander suit be COM
PEELED by To name at least one person in
whose presence the alleged slander was
uttered, has been rejected by Presiding
Justice Sweetland of the superior court
and his honor says in a rescript filed:
The court in the exercise OF It's discre-
tion might well compel the plantin to in
dcate clearly the specific occasion OF
which she has complained. There appears
no occasion TO embarass the plaintiff by
compelling her to disclose the names of
her witnesses. or the name OF possible
witnesses, and perhaps thereby restrict
her in her proof at the trial. IF the
court is not to force the plaintiff to dis
close the names of all persons known to
be present at the time OF the publication
of the alleged slander. II fails TO see up
on what principal II should require the
disclosure of the name OF but one, or
that the name of one OF the number
would better enable her TO fully prepare
her defense or guard her against sur
prise"
Plaintiff ordered TO furnish bill OF par
ticulars setting out the time and place Of
the alleged speaking of the alleged SLAM
derous words"

fourth consecutive game Saturday,
biting the dust to the Pogue, Miller

is playing fast baseball. The Pals
presented a crippled lineup, four of
their regular players, Captain Quigley
Clutter, Foreman and Meyers, being
out of the game; The hardware men
used their sticks to a good purpose
and their run getting was aided by the
errors of the newspaper team. Gill

Knightstown, Ind, May 27.-Mark-
leville is again excited over an anony'
nous letter writer, who threatens to
white cap" certain citizens unless
they carry out the mandates of the
writer. Some time ago Walter Eli
son. a we'll known business man OF
Markleville, was shot and terribly
wounded, while seated behind a stove
in his place of business. The would
be assassin escaped unidentified.
About the same time the house oc-
cupied by Geo. Lewis, near Ellison's
store. was burned. Lewis had receiv-
ed anonymous letters, telling him that
If he did not put Ellison out OF his
room something would happen to him.
The excitement died down, howev-
err, only to be revived again by finding
two whitecap letters tackled on VIII
liam Bluher's barn door Bluher lives
on the farm of Adam Forney and he
keeps his horses and farming imple-
ments in Forney's barn. On going
to the barn early in the morning he
found his horses unhaltered, the barn
doors and gates to the road open and

was addressed to Bluher himself, and
it warned him to get his stuff out of
the barn at once, and keep 1t out, II
he did not want it reduced to ashes.
Refuse to Leave.
The other letter was addressed to
David Harrison, a middle-aged man,
employed by Mr.. Forney, as farm
laborer. The letter warned him to
get his gray head out from under
Forneys roof within forty-eight hours,
and keep it out, if he didn't want to
be done like it was done to Ellison
Excitement in the neighborhood is
intense, and Frney, Harrison and Blu
her are all on their guard. The fact
that the "whitecappers" carried out
their threats in the case of Ellison and
Lewis makes the recipients Of warn
ing letters apprehensive, although nei-
Their Harrison nor Bluher will leave
the Forney home.

session of congress. The House jul
dietary committee, after giving de-
tailed hearings to the insurance com
missioners of various states. has
reached the conclusion that there is
not sufficient time for the prepare
ton of an effective bill.
The reason is assigned that the
question is so complicated and pre-
sents so many different aspects that
careful attention must be given be-
fore legislation is attempted.
The hearings have been held on the
Ames bill. 1t has been bitterly com
batted by the insurance companies, all
of them resenting federal control of
their business. ....
