big success. The tables were filed
early, a delicious meal being served
to all, except late comers. Mr.. John

the Republican s wide awake reporter
who discovered the plot and not
knowing it was intended as a sur

JURY GIVES $1,000
To BESSIE FRETz
Noted Damage Suit Ends With Exactly
the Same Verdict as When Heard
in December loo7---May Be An
other Appeal.

The jury In the case of Bessie
Fretz against the Chicago and Erie
Railroad Co., rendered their verdict
Saturday night, giving Mrs. Fretz
$500 damages for her injuries. The
verdict reads as follows:
State of Indiana, Marshall Co., S. S
In the Marshall Circuit Court
February Term, 1911.
Bessie Fretz VS.. The Chicago &
Erie Railroad Company.
We, the jury in the above entitled
cause find for the plaintiff and assess
her damages at the sum of seven
thousand five hundred dollars
(S7500.0O)
Willis w. Thorburg, Foreman
In their answer to a large number
of interrogatories the jury found that
Bessie Huffman Fretz was injured at
the crossing of the Chicago & Erie
Railroad Co., and the public highway
running east and west about thre
quarters of a mile southeast of
Letters Ford on April IA, 1906, at
about tei. clock P. NJ. She was a
the time in one-horse rubber tired
top buggy on her way from Letters
Ford to Rochester with r. B. Fretz
The train which struck the buggy
was a freight, running at about p
miles per hour. The engine did no.
whistle nor ring the bell as warn
ing for the crossing, and this was the
basis of the damage suit.
The jury went out about five
o clock and brought in the verdic
at about nine o'clock. Special Judg
Logan went to the court llouse, re-
eeived the verdict and discharged
the jury.
The verdict is exactly the same as
that rendered at the first trial of th
case in December, 1907. The railroa
company appealed to the appellate
court alleging that there was mis-
take made In the instruction to th
jury which said they could Civ
damages for the feelings of tn
plaintiff as sire was dragged by tn
train for about an eighth of mile
The evidence showed that she wa
unconscious at the time and
could not have known anything abou
ii.
This the court said was error and
they sent the case back with instruc-
tions to grant new trial. The new
trial has been held, after a delay OF
over three years and gives exactly
the same result as before The rail
way company will probably appeal
the case again.

STATE ACCOUNTANTS
REPORT ON COUNTY
Condition of Auditors and Treasurer's
Books is Good and the School
Fund Accounts are Gone Over
From the Beginning

Accountants VIM A. Hammond and
Leonard R. Schrader, who examined
several Of the county offices here,
have made their report and it is Oh
file at the auditors Office for public
inspection.
The documents show the conditions
found in the auditors and treas
urer's Office and in the school funds.
A report has also been received on
the county farm, but this will not
be made public until after the meet
ing Of the board Of county commits
sioners next week, as it was made to
the commissioners.
The report on the auditors Office
covers the period from Jan. /, 1908,
to Dec. 81, 1909. The only dis
crepancy noted here is a difference
of $16.10 in the matter of fees col
lected. This amount Mr.. Walker paid
to the county Dec. 5, 1910.
As to the conduct of the Office the
examiners have these things to say:
"We find that all claims against
the county are required to be itemiz'
ed and set out In detail and to be
verified by the claimant.
eve find that the board of com.
missioners at the beginning of each
term of court compare allowances
by the board at the preceding ses
sion, with the stubs vouchers and
register of warrants drawn by
the auditor in payment Of such al
lowances; and that they examine the
warrants redeemed by the county
treasurer and turned over to the
county auditor and for which he
claims credit, with the corresponding
stubs vouchers and see that such
warrants are properly cancelled.
We find that the county auditor
draws his warrants as they are al.
lowed, and files them away to be
called for by the claimant, and that
he endorse on the claim allowed, the
number Of warrant drawn for its
payment That each month he enters
in his "Register of County Orders
Redeemed" the orders that have been
redeemed during the preceding month
From this register he posts the
amounts to the ledger charging the
amounts paid to the particular fund
out of which it is paid, or the ap-
preparation made for its payment.
We find that the auditor makes a
monthly statement showing the re-
ceipts, disbursements and balance
in each of the funds handled by him
We find that the auditor, CLERK,
and sheriff each file quarterly reports
of fees collected by them, and that
the clerk and sheriff are allowed a
salaries, only the amount collected
as fees. They are. not required to
file an itemized statement shown
the amount of fees collected and un
collected, and of the amount uncol
lected, the amount collectible and tn
amount uncollec4ible. All report
are verified -

When it came to the item of $50
for expenses of the game warden
the state the council clicked" and
kicked hard. They declared that the
did not believe in the law, and if tn
state game warden ever got his $40
he would have to get it at the end
a mandate suit. This item of expens
was, therefore, omitted from the lis
as asked for by the auditor in his
call for the meeting Of the council.
The law is that the state gam
warden is to receive compensation
for the destruction of every net CT
spear taken from unlawful users. A
number of these have from time
time been captured and destroyed
and bill of 5000 has been made ac
cording to the law. Just what the
game warden will do about the mat
ter remains to be seen.
This afternoon Judge Hess presen
ed a petition of forty-four OF tn
business men of Plymouth, asking 70
bridge at the old Brownlee crossing
This bridge has been out of use, ex-
cept for footmen, for long TINA
and another structure is badly need
ed there.
1t it most probable that when tn
bridge is put in, the Michigan stree
bridge will be taken for that purpos
and a new ement bridge will be made
ovr Michigan street. This action is
what has been wanted for a long
time by the citizens here and will
greatly phase them if done.

council was present. Thy are the

EXPRESS WAGON WAR
is STARTED AGAIN

Within few days petitions will be
circulated among merchants who have
their stores on Main street corners,
from Fourth to Tenth streets in an at
tempt to get enough signers to force
council to repeal the two ordinances
now governing the express wagons
and moving wagons and to pass an
other bill palcing these wagons on
the market place on South Sixth
street.
One Main street merchant said to-
day that if all of the merchants whose
places of business are located on Main
street corners would sign the petit
lions that council would not ignore
the request. He said that inasmuch
as several merchants had registered
complaints against this so-called nui-
sance that he expected little trouble
in obtaining the signatures to q re-
monstrance.
Police Supt. Gormon says that he
cannot take any action in the mat
ter because of the two ordinances
which conflict and that he is obliged
to wait until council takes some step
in the matter.

LEBANON, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE high

pastor of a circuit of three
out OF his position and prob
ably out fthe ministry. He has
resigned his pastorate over the Mil
lergrove. Mount Zion and Corinth con-
gregations of the M. E. denomination
for the reason that he and his family
cannot live on the annual salary of
$500 which he received.
Today he rendered his resignation to
the conference of his denomination at
Muncie, refusing to be reassigned to
this circuit. He announced he would
have to quit serving the Lord in any
sort of professional capacity unless
the conference could see fit to ar
range his duty so that he may take up
some worldly occupation on the out
side which will get bread and butter
for his family.
