The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1909-01-07

Mr.. Willard returned immediately
home and began pushing his suit for
damages The Indemnity Company
repeatedly tried to have the case taken
from the Washington county court to
Chattanooga or some other location,
but without success.
The company claimed Willard had
kept back about $4,000 in premiums,
but Willard claimed he spent the mon
ely according to the contract he had
with the company to develop their bus
mess in the state, as their general or
state agent.
During the ten months Willard was
actively connected with the Indemnity
company he built up business in ex-
cess Of 1900 in premiums, which, in
the course of his five years at that rate,
the contract would have Melted him
$4,000 year, or $4,000
When the case was called last week
for trial before Judge A. J. Tyler, no
representative of the defendant compa-
ny appeared and the decision was
awarded on default, and the defendant
I company given ten days in which to
show cause why judgment should not
stand. The court ordered Willard to
produce his proofs in support of his
claim.
The Employers Indemnity Compa-
ny brought suit against the United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Company
who went on Wizards bond, to recov-
er the alleged loss.
Mr.. Willard says the charge was
made against him to bluff him into
giving up his contract This was done
after he had built up big business
and the company thought they coulC

KENTWEL[ TO BE
GREAT EDUCATOR

A letter recently received here by
Chinese gentleman from a friend
In the East gives some interesting
information concerning Lawrence H.
Kentwen, a graduate of Oahu Col
lege, class Of 1897.
Kentwell went from here TO Co
lumbia University where he grad
uated with the degree Of L. L. B. He
is now in Oxford. There he is study
ing for the degree of Doctor of Civil
Laws.
The most interesting part or the
information is that young Kentwen
upon his graduation, will take the
chair of Civil Laws in the Univer-
sity of Picking and will also act as
special legal adviser to the board OF
| advisers on foreign affairs in the
Chinese government.
After his graduation from Oahu
College, Kentwell engaged in bust
ness ventures of several kinds here,
and promoted an immense scheme
TO ship Chinese into Mexico, a pro
Ject which failed, however.

them to the theme Of preservation OF
wild animals and birds.
AS far back at 1868 Mr. Shields was
working in the interest of the game
of this country. He was then busy
with a bill which would protect the
buffalo and wild pigeons here. Since
that time he has done much work for
the preservation of other game. 1t
was about IL years ago that he started
a crusade against the men who wece
killing the game and fish of the coun-
try just for the sport of it. His work
has been successful, and 1t is now con-
sidered unsportsmanlike and IN some
states it is unlawful to kill more game
than can be used at the time.
