Mrs. Eastwood is
Again in the Harness

Last March the Watertown Herald,
which was owned and operated by
Mr.. and Mrs. L. r. Eastwood, was
sold by them to WE Bancroft, state
game warden. just what Mr.. Ban
croft wanted with the paper was a
mystery to us at the time Of the sale,
but we presume it was to give him u
little prestige in the political game
in the state. Mr.. Bancroft is good
fellow and it seemed to his friends
that he might make "go' of it, but
1t was a losing proposition from the
very start. He not only lost his time
while conducting the paper but all the

Just before noon Saturday q jury
was empannelled and the case of the
Advance Thresher Co. VS.. Hanna M.

case took up the afternoon Saturday

The action was brot by the advance
Thresher Co. to quiet title claimed
based on the foreclosure OF the mort
gage of a certain piece of property
claimed to have been given by the de-
fendant. In August 1904, Emil Geu
mitz purchased a threshing machine
from the Advance people and as Sc
curity gave mortgage on the outfit
Emil is the son Of Herman and Hanna
Gaumitz. AS further security it was
claimed that Herman and Hannah
Gaumitz gave mortgage on their res
idence property on Kemp avenue e.
"a house and two lots worth about
$4,000.
On account Of default in payments
the company recovered the threshing
outfit and on Nov. 1.1909, forecIosed
on the Gaumitz property. In Novem-
Der, 1910, the year of redemption ex-
pired and the property was vacated.
On account of an error in advertising
the foreclosure, the action to quiet
title was brought about at this time:
In her answer she claimed that she
never signed the mortgage and that
she at all times was the owner OF
this property. She also claimed
that she was entitled to recover rent
since Noy. i, 1910.
The jury returned at $50 o'clock
that evening with verdicr finding
Hanna Gaumitz the owner Of the pro.
perry and that she was entitled to

Perhaps you are not aware of all

only know it, you may be a record
breaker when it comes to this vote
getting business. You may have new
er tried and are perhaps unwilling
to begin. You are like a swimmer
who does not know how easy it is to
swim until he tries. He stands shiv-
ering on the bank trying to harden
his heart to make the plunge. Finally
he jumps. When he hits the water he
fully expects to drown, but he does
not. He strikes out at first, feebly,
maybe, but soon with more conf
dence, and, as he finds himself alive,
comes out of the water-a swimmer.
You may feel queer on the go-off
but after you had obtained your first
bunch of votes you will gain conf
dence, and at length you will find
yourself first class vote-getter and
