bUDLONG PICKLE
COMPANY PLEASED
Representatives here First
of Week. Many Con-
tracts Taken.

l.. W. Hathaway and B. A. Raich,
managers of the Budlong pickle factory,
we're in Paw Paw on Tuesday. They
stated to The True Northerner that from
the way the contracts for cucumbers
were being made they anticipated a
large acreage for their Paw Paw branch.
f. b. Longwell, local manager, is making
the contracts for acreage and many
farmers 10 the vicinity have already
signed for liberal acreage. Those who
have not alrea iy taken contracts and de-
sire to do so should see E. b. Longwell
at once. The company will be able to
handle all the cucumbers they can get
and the proposition is deserving the en-
couragement OF every farmer 10 this
vicinity.
The Budlong Pickle company is an
old established concern They now have
eight branch factories and the one to be
built in the spring will make nine. The
managers are genial, courteous business
men and they spoke enthusiastically of
the reception they have received at the
hands of the citizens of Paw Paw and
vicinity. Enough acreage has already
been secured to insure the factory for
Paw Paw.

LONGWELL WINS
BIG LAND CASE
Two Years Litigation over
Land Title Decided by
Supreme Court.

After nearly two years of litigation
and hard fighting in the courts, the
case of n. r.. Diliie ct al vs.. r.. b Long
we'll ct al, has been finally decided in ia
vor of Longwell.
The case grew out of dispute as to
the ownership OF the wooded strip of
land along the west shore of Maple lake,
directly opposite and west of Attorney
Il. j. Cavanaugh's residence. Mr.. Long
we'll obtained deed of this land from
Mrs. Rowena Welch in 1896. 10 1903
Mr.. Otis Gleason gave a deed OF the
same parcel to Mr.. and Mrs. Dillie. The
Dilles took possession and claimed to
own the Ian |. LDngwell brought an
ejectment suit to recover the land and
when this was all ready for trial, Mr..
Dilie obtained an Injunction restraining
Mr.. Longwell from proceeding further
with his ejectment suit and claiming
that the original intention was that this
strip should have been decided to Glea-
son instead of Longwell and asking to
have the deed reformed. The decision
Of the circuit court was in favor of the
claim of Mr.. Ollie and was that the
deed should be reformed. This ruling
was reversed and set aside by the su-
preme court last week. The ruling
gives Mr.. Longwell title to the land in
question. Mr.. Dillie was represented by
A. Lynn Free and Thos. Cavanaugh
and Mr.. Longwell by Anderson & War
ner.

KINGS BRYAN PICTURE
RESEMBLES LOCAL MAN.

King says that when Col. William Jen-
nings Bryan was here last fall at the
Maple Lake Chautauqua, he secured a
inc, large negative of the distinguished
gentleman. On developing the same
however, be discovered that it bore a
striking resemblance to one of Paw
Paws prominent citizens, who was OF
opposite political belief from the "peer-
less" Bryan, and who had strong convic-
tions on the "souud money" question.
For fear of political complications, King
hesitated about exhibiting the picture.
After mature dehberation however, he
has recently decided to take the chances
and place the picture on exhibition at
all hazards. The picture in question
will soon be exposed to the public gaze
in the show window at the foot OF the
stairs leading to Kings studio.
