CHERRY FILES ANSWER.
Administrators Of Arson Estate Makes
Reply to Petition for, Removal.

Administrators Of Arson Estate Makes
Reply to Petition for Removal.
Thru his attorneys, G. e. Cherry. adj
ministrator Of the Henry Arson es-
tate, filed an answer to the petition for
his removal, which was Ito have. come
before the district court this morning.
The answer alleges that Il the inven-
tory of the personal property Of the
estate is lacking and faulty it is due
to s. R. Arson, who is seeking Mr..
Cherry's removal, because the inven-
tory was. made from list furnished
by s. r. Arson, who claimed to know
what the personal property was. The
administrator admits taking from the
proceeds Of the coal business of the es-
tate $126 a month, but he sets up the
claim that since he devoted his entire
time to its management that amount
was no more than just compensation.
He denies that he has been handling
the estate in the interest Of his father
in-law, Adrian G. Arson. He charges
that S. r. Arson is DESTROYS Of being
made administrator.
From an attorney Interested in the
case it was learned this morning that
Mr.. Cherry is anxious to relinquish the
administration of the affairs of the es-
tate, and that probably a disinterested
person, who will be agreeable to the
heirs, will succeed him. II such is the
case fight on the administrator will
be dropped, and the contest will be
limited to his report.
The hearing on the petition for res
moval, and the administrators report,
were to have come up today, but a
continuance Of a few days, probably
until the middle or last Of the week.
has been granted.

 One evening last week one of those don n't-care-a-picayune autoists wheeled around the Railroad street corner as fast as he could run the machine and keep all four wheels on the ground.

Saturday with an express train near Ashley Falls on the piece of road that was covered by Charles J. Root when he sacrificed his life, and the lives of three women, to the speed mania few weeks ago. On Saturday, however, the autolst accomplished what Root failed to do, l.e., he beat the train to the crossing and passed over it with the locomotive a half dozen feet away. So narrow was the escape that people who witnessed the incident, turned away, expecting that machine and occupants would be sent flying through the air.
 In this incident the autoist knew just what he was doing; he realized the dan ger, still he opened every valve and ran his machine at the limit of it's speed.

MORE FOOLISH RACING
Ashley Falls Automobile Fatality was
 Nearly Repeated Saturday

Our Ashley Falls correspondent writes as follows: What might have been 8 serious automobile accident was barely averted last Saturday, evening when 8 party of six tried to race the p. m. express to the crossing where the serious accident of few weeks ago occurred. This time the autoists were successful and just cleared the crossing ahead of the engine. People who witnessed it, thought another accident was to occur, but they escaped by what seemed a miracle. The engineer gave the proper signals but they were disregarded.
 For the benefit of tho autoists and the public in general it seems that some action should be taken by town authori- ties to control this maddening speed. Last Saturday the train was going no less than forty five miles an hour.
