E. M. Wheaton's Testimony.

in the afternoon session, E. M, Wheaton, president of the Wheaton Building 6 Lumber Co. Of this city, was called to testify concerning a me chanic's lien which the company put on certain property belonging to MT Aronld in June. 1910, amounting to s7.000. He said that this amount was made up of a note of $3,900, which the company had discounted at the bank and had afterwards had to meet as Arnold did not and a bill of S2900 and upwards for work, which was not evidenced by note. All of this sum he said, was for work and material in the two houses owned by MT. Arnold on Grove street. He further stated that there was quite time interven- ing between the last few items of work done, amounting to abodt S73, and the main part of his bill, and that the lien had been put on about fifty days after these last few items of work had been completed. The hearing was adjourn ed without date.

Indianapolis, Jan. 2O-"Nothing
doing is the word passed down by the
legislative visiting committee to DR..
w. E. Cooyer, state veterinarian. and
the Indiana wool growers association,
signifying the present democratic ad-
ministration prefers economy and
thinks it more necessary than the pre-
vention of sheep scab.
The veterinarian put in a request
for 10000 more than he received in
1910 in order that he might hire in
spectors and try to establish a state
line blockade against diseased sheep,
which, he says, are injecting all the
flocks in Indiana. His regular ex-
penses. including salary of $1,000
amount to $4,000, but this time he put
in a bid for $4,000. 1t was a bold
bluff to hand out to state which has
suddenly found a hole in its jeans and
it's hard-collected roll gone, but, from
Covers standpoint. the request might
be considered justifiable. For he be-
lieves the federal government will
quarantine the states woody herds so
they cannot be sold outside Indiana,
and this, to sheep-raiser, looks like a
calamity.

A TRIBUTE TO THE
LATE ROBERT DAVIS.
OUR LEADER.

Our hearts are sad tonight and our
heads are hanging down,
AS from u eyes we wipe a tear we're
not ashamed to own.
For in our midst the reaper
Stalked with swift and silent tread,
Just when we needed him the most
He struck our leader dead.
He's taken from among us, but
His memory still shall live;
When petty s~trifes are all forgot
Then he'll be judged by what he did
Not by the gold he got.
The cardinal virtues he possessed
That won both friends and fame,
His word ono passed he eve broke.
And while he played the game, \
Stood unaccused by friend or foe OF
acts to be ashamed.
A friend he never left, he was aces
sible to all;
The widows tale met prompt response
And, WELL"
There was a worthy soul
Had aver reason. to complain of Bob's
heart being cold.
To pomp and pageantry in naught
allied,
Noble, he was contemning all things
mean;
A friend to the poor Bob Davis died,
His truth unquestioned n his SOU
serene.
At no mans presence Bob felt afraid,
Shame knew him not, he dreaded nc
disgrace.
At no mans question Bob looked dis
mayed.
Truth, simple truth, was written or
his face.
He's left us now forever. boys"
He has gone to his reward,
Where politics don't figure
And a mans to meet his God.
That's why we're sad tonight
And our hearts they feel like lead,
For our spirits crushed within us,
Because our leaders stricken dead.
NEITHER MADDOX.

BRIDGE HELD UP
BY PICKERING OF
JOINT COMMITTEE
Hudson Freebooter Members I'M
pose Conditions Which Essex
Contingent Resents.

The joint free bridge and plank road
committee of the Freeholders of Essex
and Hudson counties is badly tangled
SO badly in fact that the organization
OF the committee is not only held up,
but serious delay Is threatened upon
the work of the road Itself.
The committee should have met and
organized on the last Friday in Deem
ber. But it became known to the Essex
committeeman that their Hudson breth-
ran were holding aloof until they
should be assured that William p. Du-
gan would be continued in his Job as
superintendent of construction at the
wage of t166 a month.
Some of the Essex committeeman ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with Dugan's
work, but their chairman, Driver, sem
sse II an entente could not be reached.
HudsOnites Oppose Driver.
Holcomb was not particularly sue
o~essful. but 1t developed that the Hud-
son county committeeman are also OPP
posed to the election of Driver as
chairman of the joint committee. In
this muddle the matter stands today.
In discussing the trouble that has risen,
Mr.. Driver said:
'Essex has a strong committee and
it's members will only stand for what
IL right. We are anxious to get to work
and are naturally surprised at this &C
ton Of the members from Hudson. If
they feel that they are in a position
TO make conditions before they will
consent to organize with us they are
very much mistaken. Our committee
has nothing TO be afraid of and l don't
think the Hudson members have, and
therefore I oannot see any reason for
these tactics of delay. This delay will
cost both counties money and 1 for one
don't want to be responsible for 1t. I
will make a report on the matter to the
board when 1t meets tomorrow"
