 The Question at. Stake.
 It was greed by the respective at torneys that the question to be de- cfdedE was whether or not the in- juries sustained by these six men arose out of and in the course of their employment and also whether the status ssof the dependents of .Oster- Fhout was, the same asA4that of the other Claimants. -s < K So far as the position of Osterhout's Sdependents is concerned, T would dis pose of that matter by saying that their case stands in the same light as the dependents of all the other deced- ents.

 Paid Transportation Money.
 From the testimony it appears that Latham 6 Crane paid Osterhout 90 cents a day for each man, including himself, for transportation from Willimantic to Stafford Springs and he received ss.40 each day for trans porting the employees in question. This 90 cents per day was arrived at by taking the distance, 20 miles, and figuring at 1-2 cents per mile, which would make it cost 45 cents each way. It was customary for Osterhout to pick the men up either at tteir homes or at the nearest available point each morning and to leaves them at night as near as possible to their different homes. It appears that a definite arr engagement was made with Osterhout to carry the men back and forth to their work and that it was a part of their contract Of employment with Latham & Crane, and that a similar arrangement had been carried out on a previous occasion at which time the men had been working outside of Willfmantic for the same employers. ent cases was charged up with labor and material to Dennis and eventu- ally paid. by him.
 The respondents testified that it was
 
 out of town to allow, in addition to their regular wages, the transporta- ton charge which they could use as transportation or board as they pre- ferred. In the present instance their contract of hire with the employers called for their working at the Den his house fl hours per week and they were at liberty after their dayss work was done to go wherever they chose. They could have remained in Staf. ford and applied the 90 cents day, which was allowed for Transportation. | towards the payment of their board in Stafford. or they could have gone home blythe Central Vermont train. E but the arFangement made for takin < care Of the transportation of the men on this particular job seemed to be that the tFansportation was provided E i'd the form of an automobile which was paid. for by the employers, and that is the manner in which they were taken to and from their employ mer1t. sassas El Agreed to Provide Transportation. : E There was also an uhderstanding between Latham & Crane and the |Carpenters.

A rattlesnake was killed at the
plant of the Sequatchie Handle
Works Friday, being discovered
in a pile of lumber in the box
making department. 1t is not
known how it got in the building
which is we'll constructed. 1t is
possible it was brought into the
building in q hollow piece of hick-
ory timber. A former watchman
reported that he had seen the
trail of a snake in the dust on the
floor several times and that he be-
lieved there was a snake in the
building, but no attention was
paid to his story. The snake was
not a large one, and had only two
rattles.

Sa4ly History Of
Cequatchie Galley
BIZ an Er-SeqUutchidn.

Since the Skillerns and AndersonI
were closely related, a sketch Of the
Skillern family naturally follows that
of the Andersons.
The pioneers to America in the
Skillern family were William, his
wife Elizabeth, and their family.
There records show them to have
been in Virginia as early as 1888.
July ., t74O, William SkIlllern before
the court of Orange county to qualify
as land claimant, proved that he
paid transportation expenses from Ire
land to Virginia by way of PhiIadel-
phia of himself. wife and children.
He SETTLED in what was afterwards
Augusta county. purchased 1876 acres
in Beverly Manor in 1741.
William Skillern died in 1745. His
will. an exact copy of which is in pos
session of the writer, is on record in
Orange county. Va, and is an interest
ing document. In it be named his ex.
ecutors. one of which was Capt. Pc
ter Jefferson, the father Of the presi-
dent, Thomas Jefferson. The ap-
praisement of his personal property.

pence. Among items listed we're two
suits-One of silk, the other of hard
cloth, each valued at more than a
horse. five periwigs, the gentlemen"
all wore wigs in those days; (the
dishes we're pewter, and candlesticks
brass There we're no lamps at that
time
William Skillern left FIVE children
George, William, Isabel, Sarah and
Elizabeth. His widow remarked in
1747, marrying John Anderson; his
daughter Elizabeth married James An.
derson and William II married Mary,
daughter of William and Elizabeth
Anderson and sister of Capt. John An
derson, ''Block House family"
When Bontetourt county was formed
the Skillern property was thrown in
that county. George was colonel of
militia for years, while william was
ensign for twenty years, from 1850 to
1880. when he was honorably dis
charged in Bontetourt county.
These two brothers owned large
plantations and were exceptionally
good farmers. In 1771 they entered
claim for bounty on approximately
$500 pounds of hemp, an amount rare
ly reached and never exceeded by a
planter in the Valley of Virginia.
William l was the progenitor of the
Sequatchie Valley Skillerns. He was
born October 81, 174O his wife, Mary

Visiting in this Section.

WhitwelI, Tenn, Sept, 3.-Mr and
Mrs. j. G. Ealy and family, of Puer-
to. New Mexico, formerly promi-
nent hardware and furniture dealer Of
this place, are visiting Mrs. Ealy' 6
sister, Mrs. W. L. Ross. of Sweetwa-
ter. Mr.. Ealy's natural ability to
laugh, win or lose, and his special
favors to the poor, did not only go to
make him one of Whltwel's most sue
cessful business men, but won for him
many friends, who were glad to see
him and hear him tell his experiences
in Mexico on the ranch and in the
livestock business. His friends also
enjoyed his jack rabbit, wolf and buff
alo stories. His friends have become
so enthuse1 at his stories that they
have had him corralled ever since be
arrived. Perhaps be will learn how 1t
is to be coiralled this hot weather and
be more compassionate to his little
herd. One reason he commands our
attention sc well is because we know
retired merchants and cattlemen won't
tell lie, except when they sell or
buy. So we get up close and listen
we'll as be his Mexican stories tell.
We all believe just what he is telling.
for he is neither buying or selling.
Some of his stories seem strange, but
however..funny..we wish him a long
and pleasant journey.
