Citizens.
Richmond, Ind, Aug. 16.-Eliza-
beth Culbertson, q years old, pretty
Centerville girl, today gave that little
town, six miles east OF here, some
thing hotter than the weather to think
about following a dispute with her
sweetheart Robert Mendenhall of this

After pouncing upon Mendenhall
and tearing of his shirt Elizabeth
fought Town Marshal Moore and two
citizens who rushed to his rescue.
After putting Moore on his back she
twice foored one of his deputies.
Nearly all the girls clothes were
torn of before she was placed in
the lookup. There she scattered a
crowd of villagers with the aid of a
bucket of water.
After Elizabeth had cooled down
Marshal Moore took her TO her room
so she could reclothe herself.

A letter was received from A. j.
Hardy who is at Manitou, Colorado,
this morning, stating that he was just
recovering from a brief illness and
was feeling much improved after his
strenuous campaign for reelection as
county attorney of this county. He
recites that he witnessed a case in
court here wherein a man was being
tried for "bootlegging" and was ac-
quilted and that the procedure was
different than here inasmuch that after
his acquittal the party of the first part
took his booze and walked out Of the
court house. Nothing like that ever
happens here, the stuff is always con

the road builders. When roads are
built with borrowed money it is, OF
course, especially important to avoid
this error. On the other hand, how
ever, it is not necessary to regard the
total cost of surfacing a road as
temporary Improvement. Much of the
surfacing may be classed as pern1a-
nent investment, for it is becoming
more and more common to have sur
faces built in two courses, the lower
of which is as much permanent fea-
ture of construction as the grading
itself. This is particularly true OF
those types of road that are built with
concrete foundations for bituminous
macadam, brick or asphalt surfaces.
It is probably conservative to regard
40 per cent Of the first-construction
cost of macadam or more enduring
payements as permanent investment
1t is seldom nowadays that hard roads
are permitted to wear into the founda-
ton course of the surfacing.
Where proper maintenance is as
surea It is safe to say that an average

1t was Garrick who first struck a
blow at the custom of allowing mem
bers of the audience upon the stage, a
practice which at LincolnS Inn thea

dangerous disturbance, only quelled by
calling out the military. In October.

following appended notice: LAS the adj
