GRo WITH OF FALLON
POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS
The County Seat Will Soon be in the
Presidential Class

Gse Of the most correct estimates to
the growth .of town is the volume OF
business transacted by the postofiiee,
The growth in Fallon postal business is
YER gratifying and would indicate an
increase in the population of the town
ana the business interests of at least
% per cent over what it was year ago.
The records OF the local office show
that the stamp cancellation for the
quarter ending September 80 amounted
to s5746S, as compared with $307 so for
thc. corresponding period of last year.
The stamp sales for the last quarter
were $739 80, while last year during the
= period they amounted to $i52 90.
Likewise, the money order business has
Increased in a remarkable manner, Mrs.
Calls Ferguson, the efficient postmis-
tress, writing during the month of Octo-
Der approximately $1,000 worth of gov
ernment paper.
The law under which offices not in
the presidential class operates makes it
incumbent upon the postmaster that all
stamp cancellations in excess of $3.50
per quarter shall be diverted to the
department.. When this condition comes
upon community permanently it
should be placed in the presidential
class, and if the present rate of increase
is maintained, and there is every reason
to believe that it will, Fallon will soon
make the department officials sit up
and take notice and raise the office to
the presidential class. Larger quarters
are also needed, as is also an assistant.

VICTORY FOR DAVIS TRUSTEE
Circuit Court 0verruIed Motion to Dismiss Appeal
on Ground That Trustee Failed TO File a
BOnd--.Case Will be Heard on Tuesday.

After listening to exhaustive argu-
ments Friday the circuit court over
ruled the motion filed by Attorney
Austin Lynch and William A. Lynch
to have the appeal in the case OF
Judge j. p. Fawcett, as trustee in
bankruptcy of w. l.. Davis, against
sthe w. l.. Davis Company dismissed
on the ground that the appellant had
failed to furnish a bond in appeal.
This means that the case viii tie
retired next Tuesday. In the common
pleas court some time ago, Judge
Amber decided in favor of the w.
l.. Davis Company. Thereby the de-
positors in the Canton State bank
held out hope that they would be able
to get nearly all they deposited. Now
they must bear suspense little long
ler Had the motion been sustained
the case would have been ended so
far as the circuit court is concerned.
The suit grows out of the convey
lance of Davis individual property to
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-03-06

the w. l.. Davis Company just prior
to his going into bankruptcy. Davis
owned all of the stock in the COM
pany himself, except four shares,
which was held by William Wagner,
Hiram Doll, Grant Willis and Judge
Thayer. To secure a loan of about
100000 Davis transferred all OF this
stock to the Canton State bank.
Judge Fawcett afterwards brought
an action in comon pleas court against
the Davis Company to have the trans
fer set aside, SO the money could be
divided among Davis creditors. In
this way the bank would not get so
much,~ and the depositors would nat
urally suffer. 1t is charged by the
trustee that the transfer is not legal.
In the arguments Friday ]. ]. Grant
and r. S. Shields appeared for the
trustees, Hostetter and Richards, OF
New Philadelphia, for the creditors
and Austin Lynch and VIM. A. Lynch
for the company.

Charges of fraud and the exertion
of undue influence over supposed in

ment with plaintiff, whereby he was to
work for her, bring along all his per-
sonal property and to have with her
everything in common. He was to
receive his board and clothing and
was to care for the defendant, Mary
j. Schondle, during her natural life.
THE AGREEMENT.
1t was stipulated in the agreement,
Lloyd alleges, that in the event of
his death, she was to nave all of his
personal property and pay nothing
whatever to Loyd's heirs or legal rep
resentatives.
In the event of Mrs Schondle's
death, Lloyd was to have life es-
tate in her real estate in Canton town
ship and have all of her personal
property, she agreeing to provide for
the contingencies arising out of the
verbal contract by her will.

1t appears that Lloyd worked for
Mrs. Schondle from December, 1895,
until October 4, 1905. He claims he
nursed her from September .25, 1903,
until May, 1904, while she was con-
fined to her bed and mentally de-
ranged.
Lloyd alleges that on October 4, 1906,
when Mrs. Schondle was somewhat
improved, Charles Arnst, one of the
defendants, influenced her to deliver
to himself and wife q 10-year lease on
her real estate, knowing at the time
that she was in weak condition
mentally. Mrs. Schondle quit
claimed all of her interest in the es-
tate to Arnst during his natural life.
The deed was to take effect after her
death, and the property was TO revert
to Arnst's children in the event of
the death of himself and wife.
Lloyd claims he was elected from
the premises and Arnst and his wife
took charge. He charges the lease
held by ATnst is void and was OBJ
tained by fraudulent means for the
purpose Of cheating him out of the
property. Lloyd claims he never re-
ceived any pay for his services, eX-
cept his board and clothing. He
sues to recover $500 and asks that
the quit claim deed held by Arnst
be declared void.
Lloyd is represented by Charles
