MT. VERNON
To Be Well Represented At
Delaware Tourney
.Biq Crowd Of Boosters VIII
Make The Trip

A boom was launched Friday even
ing, by enthusiastic basketball de-
votees of this city to secure special
train for the finals in the state basket
ball tournament at Delaware on Sat
urday, March 13.
1t is necessary that guarantee of
100 one-way tickets be put up, before
the Pennsylvania will run a special,
but is thought by those who are back
Of the movement that this will not be
difficult.
The first part of next week, the
proposition will be presented to stu
dents of the high school and the
names of all secured who desire to
make the trip this way. Immediately
afterwards, papers will be circulated
in the business district of the city, so
that all who want to go will be given
a chance to sign up. 1t is expected
that at least $50 people will agree to
make the trip.
The special train will leave Mt. Yer
non early Saturday morning and will
go straight through to the railroad
yards in Columbus. Without enter
ing the Union station, it will be
switched to another track which will
land the train and party in Delaware
in good season to see the start of the
games at $3.50 o'clock.
The one.way fare to Delaware is
$1.S5, so that guarantee of $135 must
be placed with the railroad. DR.. N. r.
Eastman has kindly offered to do this,
If the project meets with favor among
high school pupils and business men.
Players on the Mansfield Y. M. c.
A. team, which defeated the Mounts
Friday evening, expressed their deter
mination of attending the tournament
in full force. They also stated that q
goodly representation will be present
from Mansfield high school and that
all will root hard for Mt. Vernon to
win. And this in face of the intense
athletic rivalry between the two
cities!
One prominent resident Of Mt. Yer
non, who has lived in this city prac'
tically all his life, stated the other day
that this is the first time Mt. Vernon
has had an opportunity to do some.
thing little better than any other
city in the state-referring of course
to the locals chance of winning the
championship. He further added that
while never having seen a game OF
basketball himself, he intended to &c
to Delaware to the tournament, mere
ly for the purpose of boosting Mt. Yer
non.
| This view seems to be meeting with
favor on the streets. One of the big
topics of discussion right now, among
men of all ages, is the splendid show
ing the high school team has made
this season and the chance it has to
carry off final honors at Delaware.
Are you going to Delaware?" has
almost taken the place Of good day
as salutation.

Catherine Preston, through her at

ed petition in which she asks judg-
ment Of Burton Preston in the sum of
$26.0e0. says the Mansfield News. She
says that on Dec. 8, 1910 at Aberdeen,
Scotland, she was married to Burton
Robinson Preston, son of the defend
ant and that they lived together as
husband and wife until Dec. 26, 1910,
when Burton Preston, Sr. sent his son

This, she claims, was intended to be-

the very close score of 18 to IL. Crit.

The ball was in the territory of the

Fifteen members Of the American
mission in Van. Turkish Armenia, who
were present during the recent fight
ing between Turks and Armenians in
that vicinity, have arrived in Tifiis,
broken down with work and hardship,
and they brought the news of the
death of Mrs. Clarence d. USHER, wife
Of Dr.. USHER. before the party had to
leave their mission station. The Uni
ted States consul at Tiffis on, Monday
notified the state department of Mrs
Ussher's death and the government
officials there forwarded the anfor-
nation to the American Board Of Com
missioners for Foreign Missions. From
the American boards headquarters at
Boston, telegram came Monday aft
ernoon to Rev. J. o. Barrows of Nor
witch Town announcing the sad. news
of his daughters death.
The details that have come from Tiff
lis are meagre, and the telegram that
came from Boston told none of the
circumstances of the death of Mrs.
USHER. A letter was received from
Mrs USHER last week dated at Van
on June Both and then she was in good
health and the situation at the mis-
sion station was quiet. The fighting
between the Armenians and the Turks
had been ended by the occupation of
Van by the Russian troops, but there
were a humber of refugees be-
ing cared for at the mission grounds.
Many of these were. on the verge of
starvation and in pitiable condition
and among them typhus fever broke
out. 1t is thought that Mrs. USHER,
overworked as shet was by her long
and arduous duties, fell prey to the
disease.
The Washington dispatch. on Mon
day brought to the American board the
first news that their missionaries had
left their station at Van, Turkish
Armenia and had arrived in Tifis, four
hundred miles to the north, in Trans
caucasia. between the Black. and Cas-
plan seas.
Rev. James L. Barton, foreign sec
rotary Of the board. expressed the be-
lief that the missionaries had left
Van on account of an outbreak of
typhus. So far as the board has any
knowledge, Wan and the adjacent
country have been quiet since the ter
ritory was occupied by the Russians
troops a few months ago.
The dispatch said that Mrs usher
had died in Van and that her hus-
band was now dangerously i'll in Tiff
