Ask to Have Issuance of 35 Shares
OF Stock to Wilmarth Cancelled
and That New Officers be Elected.
A hearing of the suit in equity
brought by G. G. Lozier against the
Clinton Cut Glass Company, G.. H.
Wtlmarth, James H. Stranahan and
K. M. Terrell, defendants, was heard
before a special sitting Of court Fri
day, Judge A. T. Searle presiding.
The hearing commenced at ten
o'clock and finished up shortly after
four O'Clock that afternoon. Attor-
neys P. H. Iloff and c. A. Garratt
represented the plaintiff and Num-
ford & Mumford the defendants. The
Court set aside Monday, December
10, as date for the final arguments
before it.
On September 9th last c. c. Lo-
zler, through his attorneys, filed a
bill in equity against the officers of
the board of directors of the Clinton
Cut Glass Company. They charge
that on or about March 1, C. H.
Wilmarth illegally conspired with
James H. Stranahan and R. M. Ter
rell to have issued to himself a GER
tificate for thirty-five shares of the
capital stock of the corporation at
par. A resolution was adopted at
the next meeting and all voted for
the issuance except ]. G. Perry. The
payment of the stock was to be ap-
piled on the bank note of $4,000 held
at that time by the Dime Bank, re-
ducing the same to $1,000.
G. G. Lozier charges that the is
suance was illegal and that no cash
was paid into the treasury in pay
ment of the stock issued to G. H.
Wilmarth.
The bill avered farther that if C.
H. Wilmarth was longer permitted to
hold the offices of President, Treas
urer and Director of the company,
he would eventually absorb and take
over, all the property and assets of
the corporation.
The plaintiff claimed also that no
notice of an intention to issue addi-
tional stock was given him prior to
the issuance of the thirty-five shares
to G. H. Wilmarth.
Many witnesses were heard for
both sides. The contention of the
defendants was that it was absolute
ly necessary that they sell the thir-
ty-fve shares to Wilmarth at that
time in order that they could take
care of the note in the bank, but
the plaintiff attempted to show that
the note had not been reduced and
had gone to protest on May and
was not settled up until September.
The defendants claimed that it
would be absolutely impossible for
the company to pay Wilmarth back
for the shares of stock and have
them cancelled at this time. The
defendants witnesses were Glen Will
marth, Aldenville; R. NJ Terrell,
Carbondale, and j. H. Stranaghan.
An argument of the case before
Judge Searle will be held on De-
cember 15.

SEWER ExrtoDEs IN PITTsBURG

Many Laborers Injured-More Than
Mile of City Streets Hurled in the
Air Spontaneous Combustion
Cause of Accident.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
damage was done to property, nearly
score of persons were injured,
more than a mile of city streets
hurled into the air and large part
of the city rocked and shaken, when
more than mile of a 10-foot sewer
blew up Wednesday in Pittsburg.
The cause of the blast, the de-
tonation of which was heard for
more than a mile around, is said to
have been due to spontaneous COM
bustion of accumulated gases in the
sewer.
Sewage began early to fill the gap
in Skunk Hollow and there was dan
ger of the district being flooded. A
number of families were warned to
move from their houses because of
the shaken foundations and the fact
that the water was undermining
them.

The Misses Calmbacher and
friend, Mr.. Whalen, all of Hawley,
were precipitated down an embank-
ment near the home of Fred Houth

Elsie Calmbacher, who may have in
ternal injuries. She was taken to
the office of DR.. E. B. Gavitte. An
examination was made, but no bones
were found broken. She, however,
received a severe bruise near the
spine, but it was not injured, Miss
Calmbacher being able to move her
limbs.
The young ladies and gentleman
were returning from dance held in

WILL 1T BE THROUGH WAYNE
COUNTY?

Announcement is made by the
Erie Railroad company that second
track work on its New York Chicago
line, with the exception of 40 niles,
will be completed within a few
weeks The remaining stretch will
be completed early next year.
The undertaking presents an out
lay of several million dollars and
was begun six years ago. The COM
pany has had a double track for
many years between New York city
and Salamanca, N. Y, and the ex-
tension of the double track line was
begun westward from the latter
point. Its terminus is Hammond,
Ind, where the lines Of the Chicago
and Western Indiana road are used
to reach Chicago. OF the second
track already laid ITO miles are in
use and large part of the remaind-
er, it is expected, soon will be in op-
GRAFTON. At several points along the
road where the traffic is the heavi-
est, three and four tracks have been
laid. Special efforts have been made
to establish low grade line and to
eliminate curvatures and grade cross
ings.

buck Rider held on to the antlers.
The buck plunged into the forest,
and as Rider could not let go his
hold he was carried, as near as he
could estimate, about nine miles.
The infuriated animal tried to throw
the unwelcome rider and brushed
against trees and rocks. Rider
clothes were torn to shreds, but he
held fast. Peter H. Markle, an old
hunter, saw the deer coming with
Rider and he fired a heavy ball
through the animals fore shoulder.
The buck fell and Rider landed in
the branches of spruce tree. He
was badly bruised. The buck weighed
200 pounds.

FRED BROWN GOING DOWN FOR THIRD TIME
is RESCUED BY FATHER IN LACKAWAXEN

Fred, four-year-old son of Minor
Brown, narrowly escaped drowning
last Sunday morning in the Lacka-
waxen river at White Mills The
father had taken his automobile to
the river to WASH IT. He was accom-
panied by his son and two other little
children. They played about the ma
chine and on the ball field nearby,
while Mr.. Brown busted himself
about the machine. Looking up
shortly afterwards to assure himself
that nothing had happened to the
children, Mr.. Brown noticed that
only two little tots were there and
his son was missing. Mr.. Brown at
once began to scan the river. About
half way out he saw something float
ing upon the surface of the stream.

HUNTER KILLED TWO DEER
WITH ONE SHOT.

R. c. Yocum of Mapleton went
deer hunting on the mountains near
his home, it being the last of the
season in Pennsylvania, and killed
two animals at one shot.
Stationing himself at a crossing,
he waited. Soon came a huge buck.
Yocum brought the animal down at
the first shot.
After the ball killed the buck it
caromed and struck the bucks mate,
handsome doe, and killed it, too.
Yocum went to Justice of the Peace
L. L. Parker of Mapleton, made in
formation against himself and paid
500, less $50, which went to the
informant.

1t was his sons hat! Mr.. Brown
made running jump, which carried
him out about 20 feet, or where the
cap was floating. He arrived Just in
time. Fred's face was upturned. The
father made grab for his sons face,
it being the only part of the lad S
body to which he could secure fas-
tening, for he was slowly sinking,
going down for the third time.
Mr.. Brown swan ashore with his
unconscious son and summoned DR..
e. B. Gavitte, who succeeded in re-
suscitating the little fellow. Other
than few scratches upon his face,
Fred is now none the worse for his
impromptu swim. Neither has the
father, Minor Brown, suffered any
inconvenience from his sudden cold
plunge.

bile. His fore feet crashed through
the wind shield, punctured the radi-
ator tank, and demolished the lights,
entailing damages amounting to
about $40 to Mr.. Loziers car. 1t
was with great difficulty that the
horse was extracted from it's perilous
position. The animal received a few
bruises and cuts, but Mr.. Gregory
was able to drive the horse home.
Mr.. Lozier returned with his car to
the Maple City garage, which he had
left about 20 minutes before.
Fortunately none of the occu-
pants of the car, nor Mr. Gregory,
were injured in the collision.

the animal for several hours Rider
got shot at the buck and missed.
The deer was in an open space and

and stood for the buck, which rush
