injuries sustained by reason Of obstruc-
lions placed In the public highways.
Miss Smith alleged that last fall she
was driving along the public road by
the farm Of Dave Laird. On account
Of the muddy condition Of that portion
Of the road which was usually travelled,
she was driving along the unused por-
ton near Laird's fence, which was COW
cred with grass and weeds.
It appears from the evidence that
some time during the summer Laird
had opened up an old tile drain that
crossed the road and had neglected to
fill the ditch. The ditch itself was OBJ
scured by the growth of grass and
weeds, but it was shown that the tile
which had been removed was plainly
visible. The horse which Miss Smith
was driving fell into this ditch. In its
struggle she was struck in some way
and sustained injuries which it is al
legged may be permanent.
IAN action was brought in Judge Pow
ers' court against Laird for $4,000 and
after a hard fought battle the jury
awarded damages to the plaintiff in the
sum of s4O0 II is understood that the
attorneys for the defense will ask for
a new trial. which will not be resisted
by the attorneys for the plaintiff.

present incumbent is out for the nom
ination for third term. Mr.. Tompkins
has made a record of being a very
methodical and efficient official. P. A
Long, principal of the Lloyd township
high school, and F. G. Meeker, of Mil
ford, are the other candidates for this
position. and are both well qualified
for the place. At this time it looks as
if the fight would be between Tomp-
kins and Long, as Professor Long is
looked upon as strong one in the
race.
Mrs. Emma Owen town is candi-
date for the office of county recorder
10 succeed herself Mrs. Town has
held the office for two terms. and has
made a good record as an obllging and
efficient official. W. A. Price, of the
city, has announced himself as candi-
date for the office and is making
thorough canvass Of the county. look
ing UP the situation.
Fred w. Jones is out for the sixth
term for the office OF sheriff and seems
to be a strong candidate. The length
of his service seems TO be the only OBJ
lection to him. T. J. Francis, a broth
er of Senator L. E. Francis, has also
announced himself as a candidate for
sheriff. and II looks as if he would
make a good race for this office.
For the office of county treasurer
there is a clear field for new candi-
dates, as E. D. Carlton. who has oc-
cupied this place for nine years refuses
TO be a candidate. Up 10 this time there
are only two in the field for this posi-
ton; one is E. c. Carlton, of this place,
and the other is T H Tvedten, OF Ter
ril Both are young men and well quail
flied, Mr.. Carleton having acted in the
capacity of deputy treasurer for the
past six years. There are prospects for
other candidates for this office.
So far there seems TO be no oppo-
sition 10 the candidacy Of John s. Blow
for auditor, nor 70 w. c. Drummond
for clerk of courts. but that may come
later on in the campaign
