HE IS REFUSED LAND
Judge Henry c. Fox Rules
Against Steven Thomas.
A UNIQUE SCHOOL CASE.

Judge Fox this morning ruled that
Steven Thomas had no claim to land
decided by him in 1889 to New Garden
township to be used for school pur-
poses. In a suit filed by Mr.. Thomas
against l. o. Anderson, trustee of
New Garden township, he set forth the
fact that when he sold the property
in question 1t was provided in the deed
that In the event the school was ever
abandoned, the property should re-
vert to him. In 1907 the school was
abandoned and Mr.. Thomas asked that
the property be turned over to him.
but Trustee Anderson refused to do
so.
Judge Fox stated that Trustee An
derson abandoned the school In Ques-
ton under an act OF the last legisla-
ture which provided thta whenever
school had twelve or fewer pupils it
should be abandoned. The court ruled
that the trustee was compelled by law
to abandon the school but that he
could still continue to hold the proper.

Change of Venue Granted in
The Suit of Hill VS..
7. H., |. & E.
ROBBINS MAKES PLEA.
SAYS THAT LOCALLY THERE is
SENTIMENT AGAINST TRACTION
COMPANY WHICH is GOOD
GROUNDS FOR ACTION.

This morning in the circuit court,
John F.. Robbins, attorney for the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern
traction company filed petition to have
the case of George Hill against the
traction company from placing a line
through Glen Miller park, taken to
some other court on change of venue.
Judge Fox acted favorably on this pc
tition and venued the case to the Ran
dolph circuit court. Tho ground for
Mr.. Robbins petition was local pref
udice against the traction company.
Last week the citizens who have
been instrumental in the injunction
proceedings, issued a circular letter
in which contributions were asked to
meet the expense of pushing the suit.
These letters were sent to large num-
Der of prominent citizens and prob
ably through an oversight one was
sent to Mr.. Robbins.
This letter was all that he needed
to support his petition to have the case
taken out Of the county on the ground
that there was local prejudice against
the traction company.
Today was the day set for the hear
ing of the arguments in the case, but
these were made because of the action
taken by Mr.. Robbins. There were
but few members of the Citizens
Lookout Committee in the court room
probably because of the general un-
Outstanding that Mr.. Robbins would
take the action he did
1t is not known when the case will
be heard in the Randolph circuit
court, but 1t is probable 1t will not be
given a hearing until some time next
month. City officials and local ship
pers are anxious to have It decided as
soon as possible, so that work on the
north end freight line can be pushed
to completion.
