Mr.. Hill arriving at an amieable un-
derstanding in the matter. AT that
time the commissioners were asked

session, all parties concerned seemed
to think that it was possible the mat
ter might be adjusted without going

opcd, however. that this would be i'm
possible, and hence by resolution the
county attorney was instructed to uru-
ceed with the matter of filing the
papers in the condemnation proceed
ings.
Chairman Corzine, of the board Of
county commissioners stated this
morning that the trouble was over
40 yards of land, belonging to Mr..
Hill, over which the road would pass.
Mr.. Hill objected to the road crossing.
for that distance across one ten acre
block OF land in section l6, on the
is mile line west the section line
between sections Is and 16.
The Alex township board, Mr.. Cor
zine stated. had offered Mr.. Hill pay
ment for this land in the sums OF SIS
per acre for all upland and SOS per
acre for all bottom lands In addition
to this the township board had Of
fered to build an overhead CHUTE to
enable the transfer of cattle across
the road from one portion of the pas
ture, cut by the road. to the other.
At the commissioners meeting yes
terday Jeff NJ. Morrow of the town
ship board was present, as was Harry
Hammerly, who represented the board
as its attorney. Bond and Melton ap.
peared for the property owner, Mr.
Hill.
The matter of vacating the order
of County Superintendent Shepard
whereby school districts 1892 were
combined was taken up and disposed
of. 1t appearing to the commissioners
that all concerned, including those
who had petitioned the county super
intendent to combine the two dis
tricts wished them to remain as they
originally were, the commissioner
made their order to that effect. Tn,

Immelmann's secret of offensive air
fighting is extremely simple. He
sights his quarry-an allied aeroplans
bent on reconnaissance duty or aerial
photography, somewhere over the
German lines near Lille. The Falcon
leaves the ground and wings to a
great height, an altitude OF $4,000
feet or more.
When he has manouvered over his
adversary, he sets his planes and
makes one long, terrific, downward
swoop. The plan is to pass diagonally
behind his opponent at the rate OF
perhaps 200 miles an hour. His ma<
chine gun is primed and ready. When
he enters a prescribed area the buL

dive until it takes him home.
In Germany Immelmann is a nat.

More graphic details Of Immel-

tained in a letter just received in
London from Lieutenant R. J. Slade
of the British Flying Service.
