worse and DR.. r. L. Woodland was
called in and worked with him for
two hours, but he continued to sink
until he died. DR.. Woodland found
the bottle from which he had taken
the medicine, but as it was not full

swallowed.
Mr.. Skerritt was 81 years of age

transfer business and more recently
bought a livery stable. The deceas

Ind, and one brother, Harry Skier
rift, of this city.

Votes In The Pri-

RACES IN TWO WARDS.
Four Old Board Members
Candidates, Three With.
out Opposition.

City politics is beginning to take
definite shape and several contests
are under way. The vacancy in the
Second ward has brought out con-
test between Messrs. M. c. Forbes
and Jno. B. Galbreath, both former
councilmen. This race bids fair to
be a hard fought one.
In the First ward Councilman j.
Miller Clark is candidate for re-
election and is opposed by Mr.. E. H.
Higgins, the young druggist. Each
of these young men has a strong
following and there is already some
lively campaigning in the ward.
Councilmen L. H. Davis in the
fourth and E. H. Armstrong in the
Seventh are candidates for re-elec-
ton, and so far have no opposition.
The same may be said Of E. W.

DAMAGE SUIT CASE.
Finally Disposed of By
Court of Appeals,

A case Of considerable interest in
court circles was finally settled by
the court of appeals this week. 1t
was a case that had been tried in
the lower court five times in a many
years. The initial trial was begun
when John H. Bell, Jr., brought
suit to recover a claim, as we under
stand it, against j. P. Thompson.
by attaching tobacco belonging to
Mr. Thompson, a judgment having
been rendered in favor of Mr.. Bell
in the circuit court. Mr.. Thompson
then instituted suit against Mr..
Bell for damages and obtained a
judgment for $3.50.
Mr.. Bells attorneys, M essrs.
Landes & Sites, took an appeal.
Every contention for the appellee,
we learn was sustained in the higher
court. The Court of Appeals de-
clded the original plaintiff had no
cause for action and ordered the
case striker from the circuit court
docket, thus settling far all time a
case that has been on hand for five
years and consumed a great deal of
time and at considerable cost to both
parties.

 The curious custom of keyhold tenure still prevails at Cromand. the famous abbey town in the Lincolnshire fens, where there are a number of cottages which are neither copyhold, freehold nor leasehold. They were originally built on waste land, and in each case the possess sor of the key holds undisputed ten ancy.

USED TOWARD THE ESTABLISH

THE FESTIVAL.

The guarantors of the last May Mu-
sical festival met Friday night in the
Masonic temple, and it was unani-

the same lines followed in the past
years. the main features being choral
and orchestral numbers. NotwIh-
standing the heated weather, there has
been no more enthusiastic meeting

who have in the past been so interest
ed in the success of the event as to
stake their money as a guarantee.
Speeches were made and all highly
praised the work done at the last fes-
tival. while president Henry Gennett
spoke of the encouragement which he
had received from outside sources for
the promotion of the event. The ex-
cellent numbers rendered at the last
festival by both the orchestra and
chorus under the direction of Prof.
Will Earhart, are still the source of
much commendation for the festival
management. from people residing in
other towns. but who came here to
hear the concerts.
At Friday nights meeting it was
shown that about two hundred dollars
remained as a surplus and it was voted
to allow a number of minor claims,
amounting to about one hundred dol
lars of the surplus, one hundred dol
lars remaining for the general fund,
which will be established for the main
tenance of the festival. President
Gennett will in the near future appoint
ways and means committee to devise
plans for the maintenance of the fes-
tival association and provide for next
years event.

TEMPERANCE FORCES
INCLINED TO FIGHT.
Don't Like the Ruling of the Su-
preme Court.
MAY ASK A NEW HEARING.

The temperance forces OF Indiana
are in fighting humor over the de-
cision of the supreme court knocking
out the rulings of Judge Artman OF
Lebanon and Judge Christian Of No
blesyille, that the state has no right
to license saloons, because saloons are
a menace to the public welfare. The
attorneys who represented the temper
ance forces declare that they will de-
mand another hearing of the supreme
court. III they are refused they will
try to have a case filed in the federal
court with a view Of taking IL to the
United States supreme court. 1t Is
not considered likely that the supreme
court of Indiana will grant another
hearing, as the opinion rendered COW
cred the points at issue very thorough
ly, showing that the matters had been
considered from every direction.
