Kitchen swore the bull came to his
premises a year or more ago, that he

Whiting. of the circuit court. ponder

bull belonged to Kitchen.
Following dismissal OF the criminal
charge, CHM procured a warrant in
detinue for the recovery of the bull.
When a deputy sheriff went to the
Kitchen farm to get the bull and put
ii under lock and key awaiting an
other decision OF the court, he was
met with resistance on the part Of the
female members of the Kitchen fam
fly, who did not understand the ma
ture OF the proceedings.
The officer finally made himself IN

The building Is more than half

The ceiling will be little more than
one story from the ground and the
overhead girders will be supported
entirely by the side walls. This makes
interior posts or partitions unneces-
sary, and allows each end to be OPEN

A small machine shop with a lathe

principal purpose Of the building will
be for exhibiting and comparing
aeroplane devices.
