COURT NEWS

An answer to the petition for dam
ages from the N. o, T. filed in COM
mon pleas court by Louis Menuez,
Massillon dentist, who claims to have
had his hand injured through the neg
ligenCe of the company has been filed
by Attorneys Welty and Albaugh.
The attorneys ask that the case be dis
missed claiming that though Menuez
suffered damages he alleges that they
were the result of his own careless
ness.
A suit has been filed by Albert
ESwallen against R. E. Morgan for the
collection of $3.50 alleged to be due
on a promissory note said to have
been executed March 8, 1907. The
plaintiff is represented by Attorneys
Hart and Koehler.
Suit has been brought in common
pleas court by Jesse B. and Frances
j. Miller for the setting aside of a
deed by which they claim title to GER
tain property situated in Marlboro
township and which also gives title
to the children of the plaintiff, Jesse
Miller, contrary to the desire of eth
er of the plaintiffs. 1t is set forth
that in 1873 the property in question
was decided to Austin Lynch, who was
to act as trustee and deed 1t back
to the plaintiffs in this action. A
mistake was made in the wording of
the deed, it is claimed, and the chill
dren of Jesse Miller were made the
heirs to the property to which the
plaintiffs were given but a life inter-
est instead of possession in fee sim
pie. 1t is to have the deed so cor
rected that the plaintiffs will have
possession in fee simple and the chill
dren of Jesse Miller will not be the
heirs at law that the suit is filed. The
plaintiffs ara represented by AttOr-

81 YEARS OF AGE
WORKS IN GARDEN. WITH HER
RAKE AND HOE
10 CLOSE STUDENT OF CURRENT
EVENTS
Remarkable Woman, Nearing Century
Mark, Possesses All Faculties
Except Perfect
Hearing

One of the most notable women in
Los Angeles, Mrs. Rebecca Spring,
who makes her home at 500 North Soto
street. Boyle Heights, celebrated the
ninety-seventh anniversary OF her birth
last week.
This wonderful little woman, in full
possession of all her faculties, except
her hearing, which is slightly impaired,
does light work with rake and hoe In
her garden, being Justly proud OF the
masses of foliage and fragrant bloom
that result, and declares there Is no
place In tho world equal to Southern
California.
Mrs. Spring greeted Herald repre-
sentative graciously and soon talk
drifted to matters of general public
interest. Much of her time is spent in
reading the current literature OF the
day and the eastern papers share at.
tention with the local purveyors or
news. An apt quotation from scott 8
Lady of the Lake." made apropos or
trees In Southern California, revealed
q memory that many younger person
might envy.
An honorary member OF the Friday
Morning club, Mrs. Spring has a keen
interest In everything pertaining TO the
club life and its programs vie with ner
garden and her books for first place
in her quiet days. While sharing With
the rest of humanity the common joys
and sorrows, she has not known any
of the tragedies which cause shipwreck
and her life story Is. like that or a
happy nation--it has no sad history.
Born In Providence, r. l., In 1871,
her family soon moved to Philadelphia,
where in that stronghold OF Quakerism
she lived the happy childhood of lit
tie Friend and still makes use OF
.'thee" and "thou" in conversation
with her grandchildren.
She remembers the last fife and drum
music of the revolution. has known
the life of the wife of merchant
prince in republican New York and In
Europe during the civil war and counts
among the friends OF her youth poets,
statesmen and crowned heads. Now,
under the blue skies and golden sun
shine of this Land OF Dreams Come
True" she Is rounding out the happy
sum Of her century of years.
Her husband having passed away,
Mrs. Spring came to Los Angeles with
her children and grandchildren nine
teen years ago and soon purchased the
house where they now reside. 1t was
after coming here that she identihed
herself with the suffrage moveemnt
and women's clubs. After she was 80
years OF age she homesteaded a ranch
in Ventura county, where, two miles
from neighbors, she was often obliged
to remain alone at night, and after she
had passed the ninetieth mile post on
her Journey of life, appeared in play
at the Woman's club house-a play
written by her daughter. Mrs. Jennie
Peet. The family possesses a photo
graph of this marvellous woman, taken
on her ninety-second birthday. riding

Among the many celebrities with
whom Mrs. Spring has enjoyed per-
sonal acquaintance may be mentioned
