GOBBLERS
IN COURT
Especial to THE T1MEa)

Lowell. Ind, Dec. Just at the
time when turkeys should be peacefully
contemplating the transmigratory ex-
istence of the future the whole turkey
colony at Lowell was involved in a
serious question of ownership.
1t seems that William Gale OF this
place had a dozen nice turkeys which
he was about to dispose OF at the
market price. One day. according to
Gales story, his turkeys were missing
and his neighbor Orville Osby, had a
fine flock of new birds.
That is how turkeydom became in
volved in a bitter legal battle Gale
brought suit against Osbv to recover
the turkeys. Attorney Robinson ap-
peared for the plaintiff and Attorney
Belshaw for the defendant
A number of witnesses were sub
poenaed and some fine points in law
were brought out in the case How
ever. 1t was established in the judg-
ment of Judge Woodstock. who tried
the case, that Gale failed to establish
hi sownership to the flock of gobblers
and the verdict was in favor OF Osby.

TRUST CO. HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING
Officers and Directors of the

A meeting of the stockholders of the

the first time since the bank moved to
it's new location. The report on the
growth OF the business during the past
six months was very gratifying.
The judgment of the directors as to
the advantages of the new location
over the old one shows that the change
was an advantageous one. The new
business secured as a result of more
central location will more than cover
the extra expense.
The stockholders elected the follow
ing directors: Peter W. Meyn, Joseph
w. Weis. John n. Beekman, A. NJ

Washington, Dec. Former Repre-
sentative James f. Watson, erstwhiIe
whip of the house, may serve as go
between in negotiations between con-
gressmen of insurgent proclivities and
Speaker Cannon. Word reached Wash
ington yesterday that Watson is coming
to the capital and is due to arrive here
not later than next Monday
The report spread through the capital
that he is to be the intermediary who is
to smooth out the troublesome situation
that faces Uncle joe" 1t is surmised
that he is coming at the speakers re-
quest, although definite information on
that point is lacking. No man in the
country is closer to the speaker or on
more confidential relations with large
number Of the members of the house.
The report was circulated yesterday
among members of congress that Wat
son, in speech recently at Hammond.
Ind. said that Speaker Cannon will
not be candidate for another term as
speaker. 1t is known that Watson gave
similar assurance last spring when
Cannon was facing hard fight for re-
election and by so doing helped to
break down the formidable opposition
which threatened the speaker at that
time.
Want Statement Right Away.
Timid congressman from close or
doubtful districts are banking a great
deal on Watson's coming visit. @They
will ask Watson to use his influence
with the speaker to induce him to ma ke
known at once in a public way his de-
cision not to permit his name to be used
again in connection with the speaker
ship.
They say that if Watson can do this
he will be hailed as one of the greatest
peacemakers of the age, for he viii
thus end the fight on Cannon and bring
peace to the minds of many congress
me who are now on the anxious seat.
