public to learn that Mr.. Frank M. Rey-
nolds, whose store at Level was destroy
ed by fire one year ago, has recovered in
the Court of Common Pleas of Baltimore
city a Judgment against the Farmers
Fire Insurance Company of York,
amounting to $3.50 81, being the full
amount of his claim, with interest. This
is the third Judgment Mr. Reynolds has
secured against stock companies, their
defense being what is known as the Iron
safe clause, which requires the insured
to keep stored in an iron safe all books of
account, moneys, etc. A motion for
new trial was filed by the company and
the case will go to the Court of Appeals
for review.

the canning season last year at the cam
ming house of Mr.. Jesse Preston, at

membered that her hair was caught in the

to save her life, and the doctors and |
nurses at the hospital unite in saying
that Miss Gallon was the most patient |
sufferer that ever came under their care. |

town and is especially conspicuous at
