GAS. co. HEARING.

The hearing in the matter of the
application of the Manitowoc Gas Com
pany for permission to raise its rates
permanently and also for order giving
immediate emergency relief were
heard before the state railroad com
mifsion al Madison on Monday. The
city was represeosed by City Attorney
Ledvina and Aldermen McKeough and
Bouril were also in attendance. The
company claims that it will be short
for the year fifteen thousand dollars
under the u per cent which is Gus
tomary to permit gas utilities to earn
ON the value of their properties. They
say that the increased cost of coal and
labor is responsible for the loss. Man.
ager Eastman asserted that the cost
Of producing gas has increased thirty
cents per one thousand feet, twenty. six
cents OF which represents the increased d
cost OF coal. The company wants an
increase OF about 10 per cent in its
charges. The price now Is los net.
The city argued that the cost OF coal
may be regulated shortly by the feder-
al government and that there may be
no necessity for an increase. Both
sides will prepare briefs and argue.
The matter will be decided shortly.

THE TRUCK QUESTION AGAIN.

New complications in the four wheel
drive truck case that stirred up the
county board at the May session de-
veloped this week, with the receipt by
Nash & Nash OF a chattel mortgage,
on the truck, purchased by the county
from Hall Bros, for "a, 500 which the
Finance Corporation Of Chicago claims
to hold against the truck
The date of the chattel mortgage is
Jan. 8, 1917.
According to the reports, the truck,
which the county purchased from Hall
Bros. was originally in the hands OF
Miller, Earl q Miller OF Chicago.
They disposed Of it 10 the Commercial
Service company, who in turn disposed
of it to the Finance Corporation o
Chicago. Then it seems that the
truck was again turned over to the
Commercial Service company and in
these various transactions the chattel
mortgage for $500 was issued, and
came into possession of the Finance
Corporation.
The Hall Bros. purchased the truck
from T. d. Ransdall. II there should
be litigation over the chattel mort
gage mess the county will be protected
by Hall Bros.

LET RAILROAD OUT.

Judge Kirwan on Tuesday filed his
decision on the motions in the cases
arising from the accident at the rail-
road crossing near Two Rivers year
ago. Four people we're killed In the
accident when the Two Rivers train
struck an automobile driven by Frank
Kucera. The estate of Frank Bau-
mann, one of the victims, sued both the
G. 81 N. w. Railway company and the
estate of Kucera, the driver OF the car.
The case was tried at the June term OF
the circuit court and a verdict was
rendered which would make it possible
TO recover against both defendants.
The damages were fixed at about six
thousand dollars. The decision OF the
court now filed dsmisses the action as
against the railroad company on the
ground that the evidence shows that
Kucera was guilty Of more than a
slight want of ordinary care and that
this negligence of Kucera is imputable
to the passenger Baumapn, whose es-
tate is suing. The jury had found
that Kucera's negligence was only a
slight want of ordinary care which
permitted recovery against the COM
pany.
AS against the defendant estate the
court holds that the doctrine OF
Kuceras negligence being imputable
TO the passengers does not apply as be-
tween the passenger and the driver,
and that if Kucers was guilty OF neglt-
gence the plaintiff estate can recover
against the drivers estate. The oe'
fendant, kucera estate, is however
granted new trial partly because the
damages awarded would probably not
have been as great if the railroad COM
pany had not been defendant. no
get the new trial the Kucera estate
must pay the costs OF the first trial
which are taxable against 1t.
II the Kucera estate pays the cost OF
the first trial the plaintiff can then
proceed to trial again against the de-
fendant estate or appeal to the supreme
court in an attempt to hold the railroad
company also.
The cases brought by the survivor
Theresa Bauman and her mother s
estate against the same defendants
have not been tried and will doubtless
await the result in the first case.

The COUNTY FAIR.

The thirtieth annual Manitowoc
County fair was Fled successfully the
four last days Of last week. Thursday
and Saturday the weather was idea
but Friday, planned TO be tne dig
day, turned in raw wind that made
sitting in the grand stand a freeze. out
proposition and kept hundreds from
going to the grounds. AS it was the
total attendance compares favorably
with former years. There were the
usual stock exhibits and the exhibi
tion halls we're filled. The poultry ex
hibits were particularly fine. Natural.
ly the automobile exhibits seem to be
growing every year.
The racing was &c good as any ever
held on the local track. On the first
days program was the 2:30 Pace and
PIP Trot. There were ten starters in
the pace. The first two heats were
won by Adall Patch, n Fond du Lac
horse, and the last three and the race
by Ben o. C. an Appleton horse. The
best time was 2:l9!
The Pace had four starters and was
won in straight heats by George w
Newton from Mayville, best time, 2:l3
On Friday there were three good races
The 2:30 Trot with nine starters went
six heats before Lulu Harvester Of
Fond du Lac won the deciding heat
Best time, 2:22. A colt race was won
by Quickrelief from Green Bay and
the PIT Pace was won by Sheriff Peter
of O'Brien's Fond du Lac stable in
straight heats. Best time, 2:l5i.
On Saturday there were three races
also. The 2:20 Pace with Ten starters
was won in straight heats by Little
Alice L. Of Looses Green Bay stable
Best time, 2:lS4.
The Free-for all brought out -four
horses and it was won easily by Hal
Mckinney. Best time, 2:l24. The
last race OF the program the 2:H0 Trot
was most stubbornly contested. There
we're six starters. After Belle Patch
and Direct Patch had each won two
heats Barn j. Cecil came up and took
the fifth heat. Rather than go a sixth
mile the two Patches split first and
second money as new rule made
them the only horses eligible for the
sixth heat.
The fair was a pronounced success
considering the bad weather on Friday
Discontinuance of the fair because OF
rumored plating and sale OF the
grounds are authoritatively denied.
The early date and late season kept
away many farmers who we're still
harvesting last week.

Capt. A. L. Nash was called to the
front and gave an interesting talk on
the work OF the training camp and in
terjected bits of drollery that relieved
the tension some. He said that com
mon remark at camp is, "Can the hero
stuff" expressing the mems aversion
to being sentimentalized over.
Judge Baensch for the people OF the
city gave nice talk, one striking re-
mark being that although the people
of Manitowoc were not In favor of a
declaration of war they would do their
duty and that "duty" will be the

ARMY NEWS.

Manitowoc county's quota for the
new national army has not yet been
secured. To make it easier the first
district board sitting in the court
house last week ordered ali married
men without families who have filed
claims for exemption on the ground oi
a dependent wife to appear in person
with the wives for further eXamina.
tion. The presumption was that the
board was finding so many exempted
that these married men were TO be
certified for service. Then news came
from Washington that the president
was inclined to exempt all married
men except in cases where the wife IL
clearly independent financially. This
rule will probably govern and the 10.
cal board is required to summon more
men for examination. How many
more it will be necessary TO call canno,
be determined because some of those
certified to the district lboard at Osh'
kosh may still be exempted for occu
pational reasons or on appeal from de-
cisions of the local board. Up to the
end Of last week 100 names had been
certified in the lst district. The dis
trct must furnish 1913 men.
Lieutenant Jung recently transferred
from the Manitowoc company OF for
mer national guarl at Camp Douglas
to the $50 Machine Gun Battalion, SD
Infantry, expects to be ordered to Long
Island shortly for intensive drill in
machine gun work preparatory to
leaving FOR France.
