THURSDAY. JANUARY 20. 1914.


Petitions bearing the sigma
lures of less than five hundred
voters of the county have been
forwarded to the York delegation
to the General Assembly re-
questing that action be taken by
that body authorizing and di-
recting the commissioners of the
new county court house to again
invite bids for the old court
house and lot on which it is
located. This is a matter Of con-
cern to the people of the county.
At the session of the legislature
last year an election was author
lied in which the people were to
decide upon a new court house.
Bonds for the building were
voted by a substantial majority
and three good men were selected
as commissioners to direct the
sale Of the old building and site
If a fair price were offered for
the property-to purchase site
for the new building and to
award the contract for the erec-
ton Of it. Bids were invited
and the upset price of the old
building aid site was set at
SIG. 900. No bid to this amount
was submitted until subsequent
to the advertised time in which
bids were to be received. Then,
it is claimed, a bid for SIG, COO
for the property was submitted
after it was too late for the COM
missioners to consider it. The
commissioners have followed the
law by going ahead and award
ing the contract for the new
building and acting upon their
best judgment by determining
that the place for the new build
ing is the site of the old one.
But their action has not met
WIN the approval OF certain
people in Yorkville. And why?
Because these people are not
disinterested. Some Of the com
planners. at least, are Interested
in certain sites which were
offered the county for the new
building. They wanted the
court house built where it would
enhance the valne of their
property or property in which
some of their friends are inter
ested. Hence the petitions to
the York delegation. There
should be no further legislation
on the subject, and The Times
is in position 10 state that there
will not be. We will have a new
court house ere the snow flies
next winter and it will he on the
site Of the old building, where il
should be.

A series Of railroad wrecks
coming in rapid succession seem
to enforce the public's plea for
steel in place Of wooden coaches.
In every case many lives were
saved. Another side Of the
question is suggested. however.
by the well known railroad
writer, James O. Pagan, in a
letter to a New York paper. MIR.
Pagan wants the question looked
into carefully whether these
wrecks in which SO many lives
are saved by steel cars are
not caused by these same steel
cars. The point he brings up
is that the tracks are not heavy
enough to stand the pressure of
all-steel trains, and until tracks
are strengthened such wrecks
will occur with increasing regu-
larity. Certainly it is a matter
to be inquired into. The public
demands steel cars because they
, do not crumple up in wreck,
but If steel cars are the cause of
wrecks. the travelling public is
between the devil and the deep
sea. Mr.. Pagan wants the COM
merce commission to investigate
the question and report on the

In the Clutch.

In the Clutch.
During the frs, FIVE minutes o. his
frenzy Alan, little better than an in
sane man. ran fraatically along the
gently rising and fairly level aoor q
the gulch. striving with every nerTe
and muscle TO keep pace with tie crea-
ture above, calling Doris b. name,
shouting hoarsely at her cap,o-, who
still shielding himself behind the 9th
er. gazed silently back al him from
over the top OF her head as he tapped
himsel, further and further into the
distance IN a half backwards, half
sidewise flight Then With the gradual
return OF reason as his wind began
TO desert him he realized the utter fu-
tility OF so eIhausting himself that be
could no longer pursue, and with an
effort fought himself back 10 s~elf-con-
troll and logical reasoning. He glanced
back. Tolliyer, staring hIedly upward,
was Just coming up on a painting run
and would have passed him without
speaking or slackening his pace had
not March seized him as he a going
By. The look upon Clay's face caused
another shiyer to vibrate down Alsn's
spine. "Tolliyer!" he cried sharply.
Let me go. Release ne, damn you,"
he yelled as he raised his revolver as
II about the strike the other down.
Alan shook him fercely.
Listen TO me" he commanded. III
after | have spoken you still insist
upon senselessly eIhausting yourself
you may do SO. But harken 10 what
say first" Hesitating. seeming TO but
half comprehend what the other was
saying Clay lowered his weapon and
side by side they logged along. March
spoke as best he could between
breaths.
TT is unspeakably horrible, but we
must keep our senses IL we would do
u best. And We must work together
and coolly II we would hope 10 save
her. We must keep IN as rapidly as
We a without e~xhausting ourselves,
and manage somehow TO keep him in
sight. He is pretty heavily burdened
and l don't believe he can go far with:
out stopping to rest. We must not
run ourselves into the blind staggers
at the outset, for once out Of our sight
We would stand little chance OF find
ing him again. Neither would 1t do
any good for one Of us to go back for
help. for all the aeroplanes are away.
What Is to be done must be done by
US. And may the good Lord give US
strength" Tolliver not answering and
making no sign that he had heard was
keeping about a yard in advance.
They went scrambling up a sharp in
cline and arrived at the top breathing
sharply. Despite their efforts they
had lost sight Of the creature for a few
moments during the climb, but as they
now mounted the crest they caught
sight OF him ono more seated upon
