FIFTY
VALUABLE PLYMOUTH ROCKS
BURNED TO DEATH IN FIRE
ON THE HERRoo FARM.

Martinsburg, Dec. 14-Locked in a
coop with no means Of escape, so
Plymouth Rock chickens belonging to
Stanley Herrod, who resides one mile
south of this place, we're burned to
death Wednesday evening when, from
some unknown cause, the chicken
house was consumed by fire.
The fire occurred about o'clock in
the evening and the blaze which the
dry wood made attracted the atten-
tion of some neighbors who told Mr..
Herrod Of the fire. Attempts were
made by Mr.. Herrod and the neigh
bors to extinguish the blaze, but their
efforts proved fruitless as far as the
rescue of the fowls was concerned.
The blaze was extinguished, but all of
the chickens were burned to death by
the scorching heat.
The fowls that we're consumed were
exceptionally good chickens and their
death is quite loss to Mr.. Herrod.
1t is not known exactly what the loss
amounted to.

SEES DANGER IN
GREAT GOLD SUPPLY
Banker In Speech TO Commercial
Congress Sounds Warning.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 14.-The United
States faces a great potential danger
In its swollen supply of gold. John
Clausen, manager of the foreign de-
partment Of the Crocker National
bank. San Francisco, told the South
ern Commercial congress- here today.
He said:
"Over and above all we have the
need to build up and retain a favor
able trade balance with Europe espe.
cially because of an accumulated gold
supply such as has never been expert
enced before, and this In itself may
throw obstacles in the path OF our
commercial prosperity with the out
side world.
''From statistics we learn that since
the beginning Of the European war
the gain in our supply of gold ap-
proximates $3.50, 900 900, which, with
the normal production, has brought
our gold stock to the stupendous Hg.
ures Of $2,70o, 100000.
''The first step taken by our Euro
rean contemporaries after the war
will no doubt be that of attracting
gold to re-establish their financial
prestige. This can, of course, best
be accomplished by again building up
the commerce which they have tenn
porarily neglected, and so endeavor.
ing to create an increase of exports
over imports with the United States.
"a move of this nature would dem
onstrate clearly the advantage to the
world at large of having the stock Of
gold more evenly distributed among
all countries. We may be lulling our
selves into a sense of false security
that the steady accumulation of gold
will give this country greater econom-
ic strength-but may be suddenly
awakened from this illusion unless we
marshal our forces along different
lines In the future financing OF our
foreign trade.
"Our problems do not seem SO much
That OF retaining the present stock OF
gold and gaining the remainder OF
The worlds supply, but rather that of
creating and maintaining after the
war O favorable trade balance = and
IN our ability to solve that problem
lies the solution whether the Euro
pean war viii leave this country
richer or poorer"

A law book published in 1856 was
found last week by Attorney Benja-

The book is in an excellent state of

The title page of the book pro-

WAYNE TIP. FARMER
CLOSE TO DEATH
Judge Blair Hears A Long
Case At Delaware; News
From Court

Smuggling up under warm "kivers'
these zero nights, one can still feel a
bit chilly, but prominent farmer re-
siding near Fredericktown did not
take even these precautions to ward
off the frigid atmosphere, as he was
found Thursday morning at $50
O'Clock soundly sleeping on the porch
of Max Hyman, East Ohio avenue,
with nary a bit of protection-not
even an overcoat.
Mr.. Hyman made the discovery
when he arose and Immediately tele-
phoned Sheriff Woolison that a man
was on his porch, either frozen to
death or drunk.
1t took just a moment to convince
the sheriff that the man was drunk
and at the same time was almost
frozen TO death. He could scarcely
stand up, but with the assistance Of
several other men, the sheriff was
able to remove him to nearby paint
shop where he was placed in front Of
a warm fire and the process of thaw
ing out started.
The man was still bewildered and
his mind, confused by the fumes Of
alcohol, could do nothing in helping
him to an understanding of what had
trauspired since his last sober mo-
ment.
In response to questions from Sher-
if Woolison, the man would stick out
his tongue like schoolboy and make
faces at his inuuisitor. He was most
terribly bemuddled and even more so
intoxicated.
Just when the man jumped into his
''downy" bed is not known. Il was
considered little short of miracle,
however, that he awoke in the land of
the living
Lonq Siege at Delaware
Judge Park b. Blair returned We'd
nesday evening from Delaware where
he disposed of three cases in the
common pleas court of Delaware
county. On Monday he had short
case. At II o'clock that morning, he
started on his second case which was
not completed until Tuesday night at
IL o'clock. The case Wednesday took
but a short time to dispose of.
Plaintiff Pays Costs
The damage action brought by John
+. Tyler against Herman Davis,
which was to have been heard We'd
nesday in common pleas court, was
dismissed at cost OF plaintiff.
The suit was brought on Sept. l,
1914, the plaintiff seeking to recover
the sum Of $4,000 for injuries.
The injuries in question were sus-
tanned three years ago, on Dec. 6,
1918, when, according to plaintiffs pc
Gition, a team belonging to defendant
ran away, striking plaintiffs wagon
and throwing him on the ground in
such way that he permanently In
jured his back.

The hearing of the distributive ac-
count of T. ]. Higgins, executor of
James Higgins, has been continued.

was obliged to winter in North Star Bay.
In June of his year a second relief

Hovey. but from present indications II Is
feared the Danmark will not be able 20

that the Danmark had been observed In
