Blanchard Explains Plan.

Attorney Blanchard followed with
graphic recital of the history of
the efforts put forth by Grants Pass
TO obtain a coast road For years
negotiations had been carried on
with the Southern Pacific and the
hope had been continually held out
that that company would soon pro-
ceed with construction. But the
day for longer waiting had passed
said Mr. Blanchard Now there
con be no division Of sentiment in
Grants Pass. There can be no north
side and no south side. no Hanley
men, no Smith men no Hobart men.
no vets. no drys. Are we agreed?"
THE Ayes Have It.
And the roar of ayes that ascend
ed from the 600 throats attested the
spirit of the community.
Mr. Blanchard said that with the
coming Of DR. Reddy and the plan
which he had outlined the business
men had seen the opportunity for the
building Of the road, and that all
that was required was that the peo-
pie of Grants Pass meet the demands
that would be made upon them to as
sure immediate success. In explain
ing DR. Reddy's proposition, he said
that the redwood lumber people,
through Mr. Hotchkiss. stood ready

structed railroad over to the new
company and that they would sub
scribe financially He said that an
option was now held upon the Draper

Boy Killed as Ambulance Takes
Mother to Hospital.

Physicians decided at consultation
at the bedside of Mrs. Margaret Dunn
of No. 1889 Second avenue a few days
ago that she had spinal meningitis.
The only chance of saving her was in a
hospital, they said.
She told her husband, Martin, and
their six sons and one daughter.
Dunn has been an invalid himself
since Nov. 8 last when he was stabbed
by man at Forty-second street and
Sixth avenue. The knife blade entered
his lung and though the wound healed
tuberculosis threatened. To cure him
self, Dunn had spent the family savings
and it was beyond his purse to send his
sick wife to private hospital.
The ambulance came and Mrs. Dunn
was put in it. AS it rolled away her
sons, Martin, seven, and James, twelve,
ran along by its side, calling out cheer
ing message to their mother.
Then the two started across Sixtieth
street, just as an automobile rolled
toward the Greensboro Bridge. The
older brother saw the automobile in
time to step aside but Martin was too
dazed. He was run down and a front
and rear wheel crushed over his body.
The car was owned by Mrs. Schley of
Douglaston, L. L., and was driven by
her chauffeur, Oscar Wolden. In the
rear seat was man whose name the
police did not learn.
Wolden stopped quickly. The bleed
ing and unconscious boy was lifted into
the car and with the older brother on
the seat by the chauffeur it raced to
Flower Hospital. Martin died as he
was being carried into the reception
room.
News of the accident to the boy soon
reached his home. His sister May,
who until recently was in the employ of
publishing house, was forced to give
up work because of a serious heart
affection. When she learned that her
brother had been killed her condition
became such that for a time it was
thought she would die.
Mrs. Dunn was not to be told of her
sons death. The doctors say the shock
undoubtedly would kill her, and at any
rate she is not expected to survive more
than few days.

Trolley and Auto Crash When
Drivers Get Confused.

DR.. John Duehler of No. $50 st.
Nicholas avenue, driving his touring
car west in Seventy-second street last
night, with his brother George as a
passenger got his signals mixed with
Motorman John Byrne of a south-bound
Columbus avenue car.
DR.. Duehler brought his automobile
to halt as the motorman stopped his
car. Then they both started up at the
same time with the result that the
Duehler automobile butted into the
side of the open car. George Duehler
was pitched out and cut his head.
j. j. Zimmerman of No. 81 Maiden
Lane, was pitched against the next seat
forward when the motorman reversed
his power and received a bruised leg.
Dr. Duehler found that no serious dam
age had been done.

trouble, the injuries and consequent ex-
element disabled her for the per-
Torrance of her household duties for
six or seven weeks, hence her claim for
damages. Ira H. LaFleur of Middle
bury and John ]. Enright of Burling-
ton are the attorneys for Mrs. HER and
James B. Donoway of Middlebury is
counsel for the defence.
The suit was brought to head at II
O'Clock Thursday forenoon. After the
introduction of small amount of evil
dence and the pleas of Ira H. LaFleur
for the plaintiff and James B. Donoway
for the defence, Judge Fish delivered
brief but clear cut and clean charge
to the jury, who got the case little
after eleven o'clock and were out in it's
consideration only about twenty
minutes, when they returned into court
and rendered a verdict that the de-
PENDANT was not guilty of the alleged
trespass and assault and for the de-
PENDANT to recover his costs. The
painful III tLIo case Sueu lOT plUUU
damages and instead of getting any
damages is forced to pay the costs of
the other side.
Thursday afternoon the case of
Arthur ]. Blackmer VS. Charles E. Nc
Cabe and William Tisdale was got
started. This case arises out of an
automobile trip taken in Mr.. Black
mer's auto during the last Addison
County fair, in which Mr.. Blackmer's
chauffeur acted as the guiding spirit of
the party. The machine broke down
after the party had got across the lake
into New York state and Mr.. Blackmer
is sueing for damages occasioned to the
auto on that trip. The case will take
up another day, probably. Judge
Charles l. Button of Middlebury is the
attorney for the plaintiff and James B.
Donoway represents the defendants.
The probabilities are that the next
case to be taken up will be the cele-
brated horse case of H. C. Potter vs.
l. N. Chase, in which the plaintiff
claims $40, 900 damages for the loss of
his stallion Krempest, which was in the
care of the defendant at Brandon six
years ago.

Hurt MortaIIy by Auto.

E. CASTOR Higginbotham, the Brook
Ign lawyer, who held the Office of
Magistrate at the Bedford avenue court
until his resignation in November, 1910,
following a series of court proceedings
against him, was struck last night by an
automobile at Flatbush and Seventh
avenues, Brooklyn, receiving injuries
that may cause death.
The automobile is owned and was
being driven by Stanley w. Smith of
ITO Albermarle road. AS Mr.. Higgin-
botham got off trolley car and started
toward the curb, Smith, who had been
coming along behind the car, swung
his machine toward the curb, knocking
Mr.. Higginbotham down.
Mr.. Smith stopped his machine and
took the injured man to the Seney
Hospital. The physicians say he has
internal injuries and conclusion of the
brain, and express doubt as to his re-
cOvery.

MUD IN THE HOG TROUGH.

contamination OF Feed Responsible For
Unthrifty Herds.
Under the best of conditions the hog
gets too much filth into his system.
Many man has been at loss to know
why his hogs lacked thrift. why they
breathed hard and finally thumped
themselves to death when. as a matter
of fact. a deranged digestive system
could be made to account for all the
symptoms displayed and for the final
issuance of the death warrant.
We are not SO much interested in the
for market as we are in the youngsters
that are to be. says Iowa Homestead.
Assuming that good feeding methods
have been employed during the gesta-
ton period. it can be stated without
any fear of contradiction that the con-
stitutional soundrpss of pig is deter
mined before it is four months old. and
the big factor in determining this is
cleanliness in the food supply.
Hog troughs are ordinarily placed so
that there is IA tremendous amount of
contamination during bad weather, and
as result the little fellows consume
an enormous amount of mud. even be.
tween the time they begin to eat and
the weaving period. At this stage OF
their career they are usually big eaters
for their weight and they are not very
fastidious in their tastes. With them
everything goes. and where the feeding
ground is filthy it requires special pre-
cautions to keep the feed clean. II
