Quite A Trial.

A large number OF Holt county
people are over at Savannah this
week, a. litigants and witnesses In
the matter OF Big Tarkio Drainage
District Condemnation, etc. This
district WAS Incorporated In 1910. and
although the districts bonds have
been sold and the ditch constructed,
several matters In regard thereto seem
to be still In litigation. Some OF the
facts about how all this happens, a.
we have learned upon inquiry, are
about As follows:
When the suit to incorporate was
pending here, In 1910, . change Of
venue Of the case Was taken to Andrew
county. There the district Was finally
Incorporated, after which. II seems,
the Circuit Court here assumed juris.
diction again, and appointed com.
,pissioners to assess damages
and benefits, etc, TO the lands,
THIS WAS contested strenuously
by some Of the land owners; they
through their attorneys, claiming
that tie Andrew County Circuit Court
having Incorporated the district, re-
tained jurisdlcii Ion Of the matter, al
though the lands involved we're IN

Woman and the two men had held no
cnnsuliai lon after Mrs. Mann talked
over the telephone.
Despite this testimony Of Mrs.
Mann. the authorities say Coii.y SIN
sticks 10 the story that Mrs, Mann
and Summers were with him when
Mrs tancher alighted from his auto
mobile q block from her home.
The authorities are inclined to be-
lieve this last story OF Mrs, Mann. as
Coll-y WAS seen on the streets OF Sa.
vannah only q little while after lie Is
said TO have taken Mrs. Fancher
home. This WAS brought out In the
test imony OF Charles Wyatt, y night
watchman, who told the Jury he saw
Cotfey and spoke few words TO him
shortly after I O'Clock yesterday
morning. Wyatt says he walked .
short distance down the street with
CotYey, and that the latter stopped al
his dry goods store TO place his um.
brella Inside the door. He then went
IN the direction Of the Cottage hotel ,
where he lives, Wyatt says.
CHOKED no DEATH.
The report OF the autopsy, per-
formed by Doctors w. @. Myers,
Wood, Martin, and Ralph Kelley, was
to the effect that Mrs. Fancher was
choked to death. and the marks indi.
Gated that the person who choked heF
used his left hand. The report was
given by Or. Myers, who said the lef,
side OF the lsrnyx was crushed In
where the bruise showed the thumt
had been pressed.

ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM THE
o5ERLlN BUSINESS COLLEGE

The Fall Term at the Oberlin Bust
ness College closed last Friday and
the Winter Term will open Monday,
Jan. 4th, 1915.
This school is meeting with great
success again this year. With anoth-
er new building completed this is re-
garded as the best equipped school of
its kind in Ohio.
1t is somewhat remarkable that,
during the dull times of recent
months, caused by the war in Europe,
when great numbers of book-keepers
and stenographers have lost their po-
sitions, that graduates of the Oberlin
Business College have been able to
find employment. During the past
few weeks, graduates of this school
have accepted positions at Cleveland,
Elyria, Gallon, Detroit, Springfield
and one or two other places.
For many years this school has
been noted for its fine class of stu
dents and for the thorough training
offered and it is this that makes the
unusual demand for o. B. G.. gradu-
ates no matter whether times are

SERIOUS
Charge Plared Against Charles
ROSenkrantz
Alleged He Struck Aged
Woman On Head With
A Wrench

Charles Rosenkrantz was arrested
lin Fairview addition, South Vernon,
Sunday night about 1880 O'Clock by
Sheriff Woolison and Deputy Sheriff
Mossholder. He was placed IN the
county jail and on Monday warrant
was sworn out In the court OF Mayor
sPerrine by Martin Clarity, charging
sRosenkratz with assault with intent
etc kill.
The trouble occurred in Fairview
addition Sunday evening about s
o'clock. According to Rosenkratz's
story, he and Martin Clarity had
been at the home Of q noighbor dur
ing the afternoon driking cider. It
appears that Mrs. Clarity appeared
at the house and demanded that her
son return home and at the same
time commenced to swear at ROsen-
kratz and blame him for the men
drinking. On his way home later.
Rosenkratz appeared at the Clarity
home and demanded TO know why
Mrs. Clarity swore at him. Martin
Clarity rushed out Of the house and
struck Rosenkratz The latter then
struck Garrity with pipe wrench.
In the meantime Mrs. Garrity stepped
between the men to separate them
and Rosenkratz struck her over the
head with the wrench, rendering her
unconscious. She was carried into the
house and physician called from
the city. 1t was some time before
she regained consciousness and her
condition is said to be serious, on ac-
count of her advanced age.
After the trouble, call was sent
for the sheriff. Shortly after Z
o'clock Rosenkratz was arrested at
his home by Sheriff WoOiisOn and
Deputy Sheriff Mossholder and lOdg-
ed In Jail
Rosenkrantz was ararigned before
Mayor Perrine on Monday morning
on charge OF assault with intent to
kill and waived examination. He was
bound over to the grand jury and
bond was fixed at 800. He furnished
surety for the amount and was re-
leased from custody.
