Than Experiences His
First Setback TODAY
Writ of Habeas Corpus Grant ed By Canadian Judge Order

In the mean time AFTER arguments
had been presented the court by Jer-

sued a writ at II o'clock, ordering
Thaw produced in court at 10 o'clock
nNt Tuesday morning The govern
ment lawyers exhausted every agency
to rush the case through today and get
Thaw into the hands of the immigra-
ton authorities before night. Counsel
for Thaw fought bitterly, contesting
each step.
The writ issued by Judge Hutchin-
son was applied for by Chief OF Po-
lice BOudreau at Coaticook Quebec,
who arrested Thaw on Canadian soil.
This was the third habeas corpus pro
ceedings to come into the case.
This was the first setback that Thaw
has suffered since he began his fight
for liberty and his counsel say that
the writ will not hold because of the
manner in which it was secured.
On the other hand Jacobs and Jer-

Harry is just as good as on the
way back to Matteawan now said the
former New York district attorney.
Boudreau's application for writ OF
habeas corpus, took Thaw's lawyers
completely by surprise. 1t put the con-

templating asking that their client be

Real estate deals did not show up
so strong this week as compared to
past weeks Of summer months. Many
small building lots were sold and
transferred and few houses and lots
The sale of farms was at a minimum
for the week
According to opinions expressed by
well known real estate men, the work
of the Wayne county agricultural ex-
tension department will materially
and numerically increase the sale Of
large and small farm lands. Former
ly what was considered poor farm
land, can now be made to produce
crops with careful fertilization in the
same year in which a crop of soy beans
and alfalfa can be reaped. Naturally
this resultant condition increases the
sale of hitherto unproducing land by a
wide margin.
The largest sale this week was that
of farm of AN acres by Harriet
Cant to Allen Taylor, one of the finest
crop producing properties in the north
west section of Wayne county, for a
consideration of $4,150.0O.

ELGIN, H., Aug. 30.-Ed. Ricken-

capped death when his machine went
off the track, overturned and threw
the driver and Edward ODonneH, his
mechanition, over the wrecked ma

Gus injury but the car was so badly
wrecked that it was withdrawn from
the race course.
Bob Burman and his Keeton car
We're out of the race on the Nineteenth
lap. His engine collapsed and he was
forced to push the car 1ff the course.
When 1876 miles had been covered
the real race had been between Spen-
Ger Wisharts and Ralph milford for
scond place. Gil Anderson was hold
ing first place with more than five
minutes lead. At the end of the six
teenth lap he was forced to make his
first stop to take on oil and gasoline
Wishart drew up to the Mercer pit at
the same time, and Ralph Milford

raced for today was, not attempting
to get all the speed out OF his car
that was in it. He was laying back
more than a lap behind contented to
keep running at paratively mod
crate pace during the early part of
the race. Wishart, his team mate,
was setting the pace for the other
drivers and compelling Anderson TO
keep up a pace that taxed his Stutz

ject of Wishart to have the other driy-
ers exhaust the power of their ma
chimes so that DePalma could make a
