TowNsHEND GETS INJUNCTION.
Court Restraints Allison Cushing from
Interfering with Towns Occupancy
of Schoolhouse.

Another chapter in the suit of the town
OF Townshend against Allison Cushing of
that town for the possession of little
school house was written in county court
Monday afternoon, when Judge w.
W. Miles, presiding at the adjourned ses-
sion of the April term of the Windham
county court, granted an injunction order
on application of the town.
The injunction restraints Mr.. Cushing
from interfering with the town in the
occupancy or use of the property where
Mr.. Gushing has been sleeping and on
which he has placed locks
Mr. Gushing bought the farm, of which
the little plot of land on which the
school house stands was once part, sew
cral years ago. 1t was provided in the
deed that the plot should be used for
school house purposes Mr.. Cushing con
sidered that after the town had failed to
use the building for school purposes for
two or three years it reverted to the farm,
$50 he took possession. The town officials
argue that they have kept insurance on
the building and maintained it as n school
building even though it was not occupied
for that purpose each year
Earlier in the term, when the suit was
first brought, Attorney A. +. Schwcnll
was given time to file an answer to the
complaint of the town. This has not been
/ filed yet. Attorney +. f. Barber appears
for the town.
County court adjourned at II o'clock
Tuesday without having appointed a
commissioner to hear the Waterman-NIar-
tin suit. Judge Miles left that morning
for Royalton, having made arrangements
to later make the appointment.

AKLEY's CAR RUNS INTO STORE.
Sideswiped Bushnell's Grocery While
Turning Around-Axle Bent and
Other Damage Done.

Cadillac touring car owned by
Harold Akley of Vernon, but driven
by another young man, and containing,
besides the driver, two women and
little girl, crashed against the side of
j. +. Bushnell's grocery store on FL
hot street Saturday night at 1920
O'Clock. The occupants of the car
were badly shaken up and frightened
but were not seriously injured. The
front axle of the ear was bent, the
frame twisted, a mud guard was
broken and other damage of minor
nature was done. The ear narrowly
missed the large show windows and
sideswiped the building, doing some
minor damage.
The driver of the ear had driven up
Elliot street and at the corner of
Church street swung around to re-
turn toward Main street. The car
shot forward as the driver apparently
shifted gears while turning around and
went up on to the sidewalk and ran
into the building.

Moonshine and they brought her

In the solemn night.
In some quarters the poem was ac-
cepted as genuine; in others it was de-
nounced as a fraud. After the con-
troversy had waged for months Riley
confessed.
In the early SOS he began writing
verse in "Hoosier' dialect for the old
Indianapolis journal. He sent some of
his poems to Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow and they received his praise. A
volume was published and "the Hoosier
poet - began to win a public. He was
an excellent reader of his own dialect
verses and for the following Is years,
or until 1898, he made tours of the
country, appearing in public with great
success both alone and in association
with the humorist, Bill Nye, who was
his intimate friend.
Publication of books of poems year
after year brought Riley a fortune and
wide recognition of his literary genius
and not only in the genre form. Many
of his poems are of imaginative fantasy
or gently philosophic.
In 1902 he received the degree of
master of arts from Yale university and
in 1904 the University of Pennsylvania
conferred upon him the degree of let
tiers. Indiana university conferred the
honorary degree of LII. d. on him in
1907.
In July, 1911, the poet presented to
the city of indianapolis property valued
at $4,000 for site for a public Ii
brary and school administration build
ing.
Mr.. Riley never married, hut he was
a lover of children, whose spirit he ai-
vined so intimately, and of family life.
Many of the last years Of his life he
spent quietly at his home in secluded
section of indianapolis.
