Accident Occurs Near Bran
don On Wednesday
Charles Perkins Loses His
Right Arm
While Working About A Gas
Well

While at work In the gas fieIda
late Wednesday afternoon, Mr.. Chas.
Perkins and Mr.. Charles Stapleton
we're very badly injured. About
o'clock in the afternoon, the men
were cleaning a gas we'll on the
Baxter farm, just west of Brandon,
and 1t was then that the accident
occurred. A heavy bucket of sand
and mud was being drawn from the
well when the sand line, a small
rope about three quarters of an inch
in diameter, broke.
The end Of this rope coiled about
the right forearm of Mr.. Perkins and
the recoil was to sudden that the
arm was almost torn completely off.
All of the flesh was pulled away from
the bone, exposing 1t for about three
inches just below the elbow. AS soon
as the accident happened, the man
started to run to a neighboring
house and Perkins was not aware
that his arm had been almost torn
off until he happened to glance at
it. McCormick's ambulance was call
ed and it was upon the scene of the
accident in very short length of
time considering the distance of the
run.
The Injured man was taken to the
Mt. Vernon hospital and after ex-
animation by DR.. J. F. Lee and DR..
F. L. Singrey, it was found that 1t
would be necessary to amputate the
arm just below the elbow. This was
done by the surgeons.
In the same accident, Mr.. Staple
ton was struck on the back of the
head and across the back of the
right hand by the rope. In both
places, he sustained severe cash.
Drs. Lee and Singrey attended him
and he was taken to his home near.

SUIT
iiIGd Against MI. Vernon
Men At Mansfield
Litigation RGlitivG To Gas
Production 80
n Southern Part Of RiChIaRO
County
(Mansfeld Shield)

NmdnSneld Shleld)
The Frederick Oil G. Gas company
OF Butler, through Attorneys Kerr &
LaDow has filed an injunction suit in
common pleas court against Frank o.
Levering, J. B. Waight and Charles
Rusk.
The plaintiff says it is the owner of
certain oil and gas leases in the
county and particularly a lease of
what Is known as the Oswalt farm on
which it has two gas wells produc-
ing 225,000 feet of gas a day.
The plaintiff says it is under con-
tract with the milk company to sup
ply the entire product of gas from
the Oswalt wells and that all the
product is necessary to supply the
bottle company and keep its factory
in operation; that on or about Nov.
80, 1909, and defendants Frank o.
LeYering and j. B. Waight fraud
ulently represented to the Frederick
town Oil e Gas company and to the
bottle company that tbsy had a
large supply of gas from wells be-
longing to them located in Richland
county and would furnish 1t 20 the
bottle company.
The plaintiff says that defendants
proposed that If they would sell them
the product on the two wells that
they would then have ample gas to
furnish Butler and Bellville and suf-
ficient in addition to supply the de-
mands of the bottle company.
The plaintiff says that the defen-
dants knew they did not have enough
gas to supply the towns and that with
the mills of plaintiff they would not
have more than enough to supply
the towns alone.
The oil and gas company says the
defendants receive IS cents a thou
sand feet for gas supplied to Butler
and Bellville and that they were to
receive IL cents per thousand feet
for the gas supplied the bottle COM
pany. II says they were induced to
sell the gas of its wells under the
belief that defendants would supply
the gas in ample quantities to sup
ply the needs of the bottle company
but it AYERS that they at the time
intended to divert the gas SO obtain
ed to supply the towns for IS cents
a thousand feet and not to supply
the same 10 the bottle company at
IL cents. 1t is claimed that the de-
PENDANTS turned the whole supply of
plaintiffs wells out of the line sup
plying the bottle company.
The plaintiff says that upon dis
covering the fraud that 1t repudiated
and cancelled the contract and ar
rangement with defendants; that II
is now using the gas to supply the
bottle company and has turned 1t
back into the line used TO convey the
gas to the bottle company; that de-
! PENDANTS threaten and are about to
turn the gas back into their own
lines and divert 1t away from the
line Of plaintiff and unless enjoined
will divert the gas and deprive the
plaintiff and the bottle company OF
the gas necessary to operate the
factory. The plaintiff says the bottle
company earns $4,000 a month in
profits and that without the gas from
plaintiffs wells will be unable to
operate.
temporary injunction was grant
ed enjoining defendants from inter
fering with gas in plaintiffs wells
or diverting it. Judge Mansfield fix
ed the bond at $4,000.

Court OF Ohio

Numerous Matters From The

Notes OF Interest From
Temple Of Justice
columbus Dispatch)

Heretofore the oath administered
by the supreme court to candidates
for admission to the bar, was simply
bound them to support the constitu-
tion OF the United States, the con-
stitution of the state of Ohio, and to
denean themselves properly as coun-
sellors at law, but the new rules just
adopted by the court proposes to re-
quire them to take an oath that is a
great deal broader.
l Do Solemnly Swear:
l will support the constitution of
the United States and the const!tu-
tion of the state of Ohio.
| will maintain the respect due to
Courts of Justice and Judicial Off
GERS:
l will not counsel or maintain any
suit or proceeding which shall ap-
pear to me to be unjust, nor any de-
Tense except such as | believe to be
honestly debatable under the law of
the land;
l will employ for the purpose of
maintaining the causes confided to me
such means only as are consistent
with truth and honor, and will never
seek to mislead the judge or jury by
any artifice or false statement of fact
or law;
/ will maintain the confidence an
preserve inviolate the secrets of my
client, and will accept no compensa
tion in connection with his business
except from him or with his knowl-
edge and approval;
l will abstain from all offensive
personality, and advance no fact pre-.
judicial to the honor or reputation
of a party or witness required by
the justice of the cause with which
l am charged; l will never reject,
from any consideration personal to
myself, the cause Of the defenseless
or oppressed, or delay any mans
cause for lucre, or malice, SO Help
Me, God.
1t is not difficult TO imagine that
some portions of the oath adopted
were suggested by the developments
in the trial of the disbarment case
agair st Charles A. Thatcher.
Another new feature in the new
rules is the requirement that candi-
dates for admission to the bar shall
stand examination, in addition to the
subjects already prescribed, in "the
canons of professional ethics adopt
ed by the Ohio State Bar association
at It's 30th annual meeting In 1909"

GIVE MOLNkR
RENEWAL OF
HIS LICENSE
Application of George Homa
Becomes Invalid for Keene
Street Place.
ACTION OF EXCISE BOARD
Vote Was 3 to 2 Frank
Houser Gets Saloon of
Van Aalst.
FIGHT IN COMMITTEE
Three Others for Transfers
Laid Over--Grant II Re-
newals Collectively.
FIGHT IN COMMITTEE

The Board of Excise Commission
ers at their monthly meeting last
night granted twelve renewals and
a transfer. Three applications for
transfers We're laid on the table and
one went over under the rules. The
application Of John F. Ernst for
hotel license at 152 New Brunswick
avenue, was laid On the table.
Surprises We're sprung when the
commissioners, by votes Of three to
two, granted Frank Houser the sa-
loon license of John w. Van Aalst,
and gave Joseph Molnar a renewal
of his license at the northwest cor
ner of Keene and Francis streets. BY
the passage of the latter the applica-
tion of George Homa for a license
in the same place became invalid
and was not acted upon. A fight be-
tween breweries, Molnar and the
landlord, Anton Massopust, has been
in progress for some time past. 1t
was claimed that Molnar could not
make the place pay sufficiently and
others were to take hold The ap-
plications Of Molnar and Homa came
up at the last meeting and were laid
On the table Commissioner Burns
made a motion to remove Molnar's 8
application from the table and it was
balloted upon and granted.
There was a warm fight on over
the Houser transfer, which had de-
veloped at the caucus preceding the
meeting. The application was for
the transfer of the saloon license of
Van Aalst, at 1 Fayette street, to
HOuSer and il was granted thraa
to two.
The application of Alexander Pc
traszka for transfer of his saloon
license from 23S to 240 Hall ave-
nue., was laid over, under the rules.
The application to transfer the sa-
loon license of Joseph Balint, at 273
New Brunswick avenue, to George
Miller, was laid on the table by mo-
tion of Mr.. FritZiDger, seconded by
Mr.. Cornelison. That for the trans
fer of the saloon license of Steve Lo-
vasz, at 673 Catherine street, to
John Resko, was laid on the table
ON motion of Mr. Fritzinger, sec
onded by Mr.. Tymrakiewicz.
The application for transfer of
the saloon license of George Cherev-
ka, at 535 State street, to James
Gilliland, took a similar course on
motion of Mr. Cornelison, seconded
by Mr.. Fritzinger. The Ernst appli-
cation for a hotel license at 1852
New Brunswick avenue. took SINH
lar course on motion Of Mr.. Fritzin-
ger, seconded by Mr.. Cornelison.
Eleven applications for renewals
were granted, collectively.
