ton for the voting on delegates 10

Deputy Of Registration Arthur Her
bert Conley. Mr.. Conley states that
both Elkhart and Goshen people
seem 10 be taking a great interest
in this important matter and that
women are especially active both In

The county registration Office was
opened in the public rest room OF
the court house in Goshen a week
ago last Saturday and since that
time the office force has been very
busy recording the many persons,
who want 10 vote on delegates.

MISS TRINA REID
AWARDED $4,000
Jury Takes TWenty-one Min
uteS to Make Finding in
Her Favor.

ELKHART. June 19.-After a de-
liberation of q minutes the jury in
the damage suit case of Irma b.
Reid VS.. Clarence Scott gave YER
dict in favor Of Miss Reid 20 the
amount Of $1,000 damages for
breach OF promise
The case has occupied the atten-
ton of the superior court for three
days and throughout the entire case
the defendant. Scott. failed 10 estab-
fish his defense, that of not promis-
ing 70 marry Miss Reid. The case
dates back TO the year 1904, wnen
Scott asked Miss Reid to marry him,
and under promise of marriage Miss
Reid acceded TO his advances. and
as result a child was born. Evidence
was given that tended TO prove that
during the many years that has
elapsed since that time that Miss
Reid has stood ready 10 marry Scott,
but that ne got a case of cold feet
and refused to keep his promise.
About two years ago Scott mar
ried another girl and the present suit
was resultant from that marriage.
Miss Reid is still unmarried and
has had custody of the child, who
is a bright little lady Of seven years,
and until Monday was ignorant of
her parentage.
Miss Reid has been a telephone
operator for eight years past at the
New York Central station. and has
always borne an excellent reputa-
ton and popular sentiment is with
her and the verdict in her favor.
During the trial Scott seemed TO
take the whole matter as a huge
Joke and in his testimony he referred
10 Miss Reid as mere past
time" but the verdict rendered by
the jury makes the affair rather an
expensive Joke for him.
Up TO a late hour Monday evening
no motion had been fled for a new
trial. although II is probable that J..
IT. State, attorney for Scott, will do
so within the time allowed by law.
Proctor & Cawley appeared for Miss
Reid.
The verdict rendered in this case
goes on record as being the quickest
ever given I'm the superior court In
a case of this kind, and the amount
one Of the largest in local legal
history.
