In her declining years she has been
tenderly cared for by her stepchildren

CAR COMPANY HELD
LIABLE TO PAY FOR
USING BRIDGE span

In case the interurban company
does not agree to bear what the county
commissioners think Is its share OF
the expenses of the Main street
bridge, it may be required to build an
individual bridge along the side.
County Attorney Hoelscher in an
argument this morning with Wilfred
Jessup, asked, What can the inter-
urban company do If bridge too light
for heavy cars is constructed 1T Main
street"
Holescher has been investigating
what can be done with the interurban
company in case it refuses to bear
part of the expenses Of the new struc-
ture. Although the attorney has made
no public report yet, this question was
taken by several people present to
mean that he had found that the In
terurban company cannot force pass
age over the bridge unless it bears its
part of the cost.

unanimous opinion of those who have
taken in the attractions this week.
and no show company which has ever
visited Richmond has made such a
big hit. The fact that all of the ex-
hibits are clean and free from vulgar
features has had great deal to do
with the success of the Druids' affair,
hundreds of representative citizens
who are seldom seen at such events
having been conspicuous on the
grounds each evening.
The committee of the Druids in
charge of the carnival are elated at
the success with which their efforts
have been crowned and it is stated
that the local lodge will earn a tidy
sum from the shows proceeds.
