OLD LINE FENCE WAR
is SETTLED IN COURT

A line fence war, which, 20 years
ago, involved two of the most prom
inent families of the down-river dis
trict, has had a revival In circuit
court. before Judge Collingwood, al
though this time the principals have
changed. and SO have the rules OF
the contest.
| A score of years ago. the Saliotte
and Bondy families argued over the
ownership of strip OF land. 46 feet
wide, running from River-rd. TO the
Detroit river, in Ecorse. In those
days, the land was worth only frac-
ton OF it's present valuation, 100000.
The Saliottes and Bondys were large
landholders and lumber mill oper-
ators, and, according to the testimony
submitted to the jury and Judge Col
lingwood, II became necessary on oc-
casions, to summon the reserves"
from the mills to hold fence, or to
attempt to complete it's destruction.
The twentieth century method OF
settling the dispute resolved itself
into determined legal conflict be-
tween Paul A. Serge and Gustave
Raup. Serge instituted ejectment
proceedings against Raup to force
Raup to relinquish his claim to pos
session of the 46-foot strip.
The land In dispute Is situated at a
point where there Is sharp curve
in the road. Raup alleged that he
held It by virtue OF a surveyors line
running on a straight course from the
road to the river Serge contended
that the land was part Of his acre
age because the line should follow the
turn In the road, adding the rounded
portion between the straight line and
the curving line, to his holdings.
After the case had been I'm pro-
gress three days. a jury, Tuesday aft.
ernoon, returned verdict in favor
of Serge.

JITNEY BUS FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN SUGGESTED

II has been suggested that the park
commission might operate jitney
bus service on the East Grand-blvd..
from Jefferson-ave. to Mack-ave., for
the accommodation of the Eastern
high school students who now find II
difficult to reach the school by street
car. Such q bus service would be
particularly desirable to assist the
boys and girls Fastening TO school In
the morning During the cold wealth
very seldom used except In the aft
ernoon and evenings when the skaters
visit the island.
A woman who lives on Jefferson
ave. explains that her daughter Is
compelled to ride on three car lines
to reach the high school. II il neces-
sary for her to leave the house at Z
o'clock, to be in school by 7:46. The
jitney bus could pick UP pupils com
ing west on the Sherman and Jeffer-
son lines. and lug them to school In
a jiffy.
But
Secretary Henry w. Busch. of the
parks and boulevard departments
says that the scheme would cost the
city money.
Says he: "The buses are built to
take on passengers from turnstiles
and II would be difYicult and danger
Gus for them to pick up children
along the Boulevard. They could not
be operated at a profit on three-cent
fares. Itlwouid be lot of trouble
to have the buses turn out on school
mornings for couple of loads. The
buses would be empty on the return
trip. II we started jitney bus ser
vice from Jefferson-ave. to Mack-ave.,
people north of Mack-ave., who are
far away from car lines, would want
It. don't think the commissioner
would approve OF a bus service"

CAMP HATFIELD NOTES
(BY JULIAN STALEY.)

terday evening was the war strength
parade given by the First Regiment.
Two companies were joined making a
total of about 12O men in each com.
pany and they marched behind the
First Regiment band to the Fair
Grounds where they were reviewed
by Major Jackson Arnold, of Weston,
and his staff, Lieutenant Adjutant
Thomas ]. Blair, of Weston, and Lieu.
tenant Commissary Leonard H. Jones
of Morgantown. y
This was witnessed by one OF the
largest gatherings that has visited
the camp yet and was well received.
Companies H and l of Fairmont re.
ceived much praise for their work in
this parade and they were highly
praised by Major Arnold.
After reveille this morning the First
Regiment left camp for the Fair
Grounds for drill. The regiment was
well fed before going and fine drill
was held. All recruits of Companies
H and ! are doing fine and these two
companies are expected to make fine
showing. Each evening the regiment
bands render a concert in front of
headquarters which is we'll attended.
Next Tuesday the First Regiment
and the Second Regiment will clash
in deadly" combat. One of the regl-
ments will defend Parkersburg while
the other one will try to capture Par
kersburg. viii Parkersburg fall?
This Is the question that is being
asked all over the city. Neither one
of the regiments will know where the
other one is and "hot battle" is ex-
pected. There is state of warfare
existing between these two regiments,
as the First Regiment won from the
Second last year.
Hardly will the day dawn next Tues.
day until every man in camp will be
on his feet. The reyeille will sound
and the camp streets will be filed
with soldiers ready for the great fight.
They will be led by the regiments
bands.
The First Battalion of the First
Regiment will journey to the rife
range tomorrow and the Second Bat.
talon will leave for the range Fri.
day. The Third Battalion will be on
the rifle range Saturday.

rade this evening. The State Militia

A UNIVERSAL FOOD
Follow Natures Footsteps.

II have boy, two years old, weigh.
ing forty pounds and In perfect health,
who has been raised on Grape.Nuts
and milk. {.
This is an ideal food and evidently
furnishes the elements necessary for
a baby as well as for adults. We have
used Grape.Nuts in large quantities
and greatly to our advantage"
One advantage about Grape-Nuts
food is that it Is partially pre-digested
in the process Of manufacture. The
starch contained in the wheat and
barley is transformed into a form of
sugar by the same method as this pro.
cess is carried out in the human body;
that is, by the use of moisture and
long exposure to moderate warmth,
which grows the diastase in the
grains. and with long baking makes
the remarkable change from starch to
sugar.
Therefore, the most delicate stom-
ach can handle GrapeNuts and the
food Is quickly absorbed into the
blood and tissue, certain parts of 1t
going directly to building and nourish-
ing both body and brain. There's a
