Coart Refuses Parent Custody OF
Child.

The testimony of George James
in the habeas corpus proceeding to
recover possession of his daughter,
Eleanor, aged three years, was
heard in court at Lancaster Satur-
day. James said he would provide
good home for the child at his
place in Cecil county, Md. He ad-
mitted that he never contributed to
the support of the child. Several
other witnesses testified that the
father would provide a good home
for the child. The court made a
decree ordering the child to stay at
the home of DIR. j. A. and Henry
Peoples, in Little Britain township.
The court said that the testimony
of the Peoples showed that the
father was not proper person to
take charge of his daughter, and
he thought that it would be for the
best interests of the child to stay
at the Peoples home.-Quarryville

DEATH BY DROWNING.
Kirk Ellsworth Reynolds browns
In Paper Mill Dam.

K. Ellsworth Reynolds was
drowned while swimming in the
paper mill dam, about five miles
from Rising Sun, last Friday after
noon. He had been in the water
for about two hours in company
with his nephew, aged Ia years,
and was swimming across the dam
with the lad upon his back when
he was apparently overcome by the
effect of the heat and being in the
water so long. Young Marshall
noticed his uncle, who was a deaf
mute, seemed to be in distress and
dropping from his back managed
to wade ashore. Before he had re.
gained the bank his uncle had
sunk and when found some time
afterward was in a sitting posture
in comparatively shallow water.
His funeral was held at the home
of his parents, near Rock Springs,
on Monday, with interment at
Brookview cemetery.
The deceased was the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. w. Reynolds,
residing near Rock Springs, and a
brother of Eli T. Reynolds of this
town. He was in his 47th year
and had been deaf mute from
infancy. He attended the Fred.
erick School for Deaf and Dumb
for several years and learned cabi-
net making and always attended
their annual reunion and was high
ly esteemed by his associates.
His funeral was largely attended
and many expressions of regret
were passed by his wide circle of
friends at his untimely death.
His parents wish to publicly ex
press their appreciation to those
who SO kindly offered their services
and sympathy.
