SHE ASKS DAMAGES
For Horse Killed by Trac-
r.. ton Car.

Determined to at least make a fight
for her claim after. it is said. the Of
ficers for the traction line became in
sulting in their correspondence with
her, Kate Cox has instituted suit in
the circuit court against the Ohio
Electric Railway company. She asks
for $3.50 damages for a horse which
was killed on the company's right OF
way.
According to the allegations of the
complaint the woman's horse got on
the company's lines on election night,
due to the cattle guard which the COM
pany used being SO imperfect that any
animal would not be prevented from
crossing onto the private right of way.
The horse was worth $3.50 the COM
plaintant says.
Before attempting legal proceedings
to collect the damages she wrote to
the claim agent of the Ohio Electric
Railway company and stated her case.
In reply the agent wrote back letter
which her attorney says was in sum
and substance q demand that Mrs. Cox
should pay the railway company dam
ages because the horse got on ~,the
Aght of way and stopped the interur-
ban car when the car struck the ami
NAL. 1t was evident to the plaintiff
in the suit that she could not adjudi-
cate the claim without legal procedure.

HAD A HARD TINE
GETTING MARRIED

Unfamiliarity with the marriage
license law almost resulted in a post
ponement of the marriage OF William
Freeman and Clara Bell Howell OF Dali
ton township on Saturday evening.
Freeman, accompanied by his brides
father. arrived at the county clerks
office early on Saturday morning but
Miss Howell was not a member of the
party and the clerk could not issue
the license, as it is necessary for
brides as well as grooms to sign licen-
ses. This has to be done before the
clerk, or some other official, who has
authority to administer an oath. After
about six visits to the clerks office
the father and the prospective groom
returned to Dalton township. The girl
was secured and the journey back to
the court house was made on the last
c.. c. & L. train from the north on
Saturday. Freeman is farm iaborer.
The girl is but sixteen years old while
her husband is twenty-four.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 28.-The trial
of John Sears. the mulatto and the
slaNer OF sthe Rev. Amsi
L. Armstrong and his wife in the par
sonage of the Dutch Neck Presbyter-
ian church. promises to be the weird
est blend of the theatric and sensa-
tional in the annals of New Jersey

opments today.
Wealth will be exerted by the white
father of the slayer to save him from
the electric chair and the family skel.
eton of at least one formerly rich and
aristocratic family will be paraded be-
fore the public in hope of consum-
mating this.
Parentase Of Slayer.
An investigation of the records re.
veals that John Sears is the son OF
Thomas Duncan, former rich and
substantial citizen, and that Duncan's
wife sued him for divorce after the
birth of the prisoner, naming Rachel
Sear's-John's mother as co-respon.
dent. After the divorce was granted
and at that time Duncan was affluent
and socially prominent in New Jer.
sey. And while much of his wealth
has slipped through his fingers, he re.
tains the friendship of his prosperous
friends who knew him in his palmy
days.
Sears is an outcast, despised by
both blacks and whites. His own
father could not possibly recognize
him and time after time. when Sears
sought to call himself Duncan after
his father. he says, he was forbidden
by the Rev. Armstrong.

TAX FERRET CASE
SET FOR HEARING
Suit of Clifford Against the
City Will Be Tried for
the Fourth Time.

The civil case of Fremont Clifford,
tax ferret. versus the City of Rich
mond, asking $4,000 as his share Of
seuuestered tax paid to the city in
1904, has been set for trial, December
10, by Judge James +. Reed. In the
Hancock circuit court at Greenfield
Ind. To-day City Attorney A. NJ
Gardner fled claim for change OF
venue from Judge Reed.
The Clifford-Richmond case is an
old one, having first been tried in the
Hancock circuit court early in 1905.
1t is alleged by Clifford that he, as a
tax ferret. employed under contract
by the city, placed $166,000 worth OF
Morrison Plummer stock bonds on the
Wayne county books. against the
Morrison estate. On these stocks the
total tax was collected by the city
His share of the tax would be $500
he alleges.
City Denies His Claim.
City Attorney Gardner alleges that
it was not through information fur.
nished by Clifford that led to the fina
collection of the taxes. 1t is claimed
by the city that it had positive knowl
edge at the time of the existence oi
the stocks.
The first trial resulted in disagree
ment of the jury, eleven favoring the
city and one holding out for awarding
the judgment to ferret Clifford. Then
during the Schillinger administration
the case was again tried in Hancock
county and judgment of 5000 rem
dered against the city by jury On a
motion of Attorney Study. for the city
the jury set aside the finding OF the
jury and ordered new trial
The puzzling case was next tried
before Judge Robinson. OF Spencer
Ind, in February. 1908. This Judge
held the papers in the case for two
years and failed to bring in finding
The city is confident of its position
in the case and will fight it to q finish
1t is said that Clifford is as equally
determined and the trial promises te
be an interesting one. During the
three trials the total expense to Ricf
mond has been only about $500.
