HORSE Case IS APPEALED
TO MASON CIRCUIT COURT
Suit Between MOther-in-Law and
Daughter-in-Law Over the Own
ershlp Of Horse Becoming
Quite Celebrated.

The suit between Mrs. Lotta Sch
weickart and her daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Louellen Schweickart, of the
South Ripley neighborhood, over the
ownership of horse promises to be
as celebrated throughout this section
as the famous white horse suit" sew
eral years ago.
This case occupied the attention of
Judge Purnell and jury in the Ma
son Quarterly Court for two days a
couple of weeks ago and the jury f.
nally awarded the horse to the older
Mrs. Schweickart without damages.
Today in the Mason Circuit Court Mrs.
Louellen Schweikart has filed an ap-
peal from the lower courts decision.
This case grows out of the settle
ment of the Schweickart estate which
has been the subject of much litiga-
tion for the past year. 1t seems as
though when the older Mr.. Schweick-
art died several years ago and there
was no settlement of the estate but his
only son managed the affairs on the
farm as If it were his own. This son
died more than a year ago and since
then the settlement of affairs between
his wife and his mother has been
taken to court several times.

AGAINST HUSBAND
Former Maysville Dentist Seeks Di-
yOrce From Her Husband In Suit

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: DR..

was married to Hewins October 2,
1902, her first husband having been u
brother of her present husband. She
then was practicing dentistry, and she
declares she paid for Hewin's course
at dental college, after which they
practiced together.
She declares he has used liquor to
excess and has accused her, and that
he would absent himself for days,
weeks and even months at time. She
declares he sought to create the i'm
preston she was ill-treating him, and
says that frequently, when the win
QOWS OF InelT HOlne were open, he
would cry out, "Do not hit mel" or
do not strike me with the hammer!
although she would be in another
room. She says he also did this in
their offices in the Johnston Building
On the other hand, Mrs. Hewins al
leges. Hewins often struck her and
frequently threatened her. She says
she took a trip to Texas for her health
and when she came back she found
matters even worse. so she decided tc
seek a divorce, she declares Judge
C. W. Hoffman enjoined Hewins from
interfering with her in any way.
Mrs. Hewin practiced dentistry il

SUGAR famine HERE
UNLESS REFINERS SHIP
SUPPLIES ORDERED
Wholesale Grocer Appeals to Sugar
Refiners to Ship Immediately
Large Quantity Of Sugar to
Save Large Black.
berry Crop.

Unless the appeals of local whole
sale grocers to sugar refiners are an
swered Immediately by the shipment
OF big supply of sugar, large por-
tion of the blackberries throughout
this section will likely waste.
The sugar shortage in Maysville and
surrounding territory becomes more
acute every day and in very short
time what little supply of sugar there
is in this district will be completely
exhausted. Other sections of the state
also report serious sugar shortage
and it is lamentable that it comes just
at this time when the largest black
berry crop in years is awaiting to be
canned.
Mayor Thomas NJ. Russell for the
M. c. Russell Company, today wired
refiners from whom his firm had a
large shipment purchased which has
failed to arrive although long over
due, explaining the situation to them
and urging that they ship him immed-
lately at least five cars Of sugar and it
is to be hoped that the refiners will
answer his wire by the immediate
shipment of large supply.
Mr.. George Dodson of the Omar
Dodson Wholesale Grocery, has also
wired for 5 cars to be shopped him i'm
mediately.
Berries came into Maysville in large
quantities today. Many people are in
the patches picking for sale while
many Maysville residents have gone to
the country to the farms of relatives
and friends where they are picking
berries from morning to night. The
market price today seemed to average
around one dollar a bucket Of two and
half gallons but because of the
shortage of sugar, it is expected that
prices will decline unless a supply OF
sugar is obtained at once.

CONTROL
MANY CONCERNS.
REPORT SHOWS
Federal Trade Commission Uncovers
What Seems TO Be Food Mon.
OpOly in Nation.

Washington, July 1.-THE big Ave"
meat packers soon will exercise
powerful domination over the nations
food supply and International control
of meat products unless Congress take
immediate steps to forestall these
aims, the Federal Trade Commission
reported today to President Wilson.
IAN approaching packer domination
of all important foods in this country
and an international control of meat
products seems a certainty unless fun
damental action is taken to prevent
it," says the report which covers part
one of the commissions investigation
of the meat industry.
"a fair consideration of the course
the five big packers-Armour Morris,
Swift, Wilson and Cudahy-have fol-
lowed and the position they already
have reached must lead to the conclu-
sion that they threaten the freedom
of the market of the country's food in
dustries and of the by-product indus
tries linked herewith" says the re-
port.
The commission claims the packers
rapidly are obtaining their domination
by manufacturing or dealing in 775
commodities, largely by-products, and
by gaining control of 762 other COM
panies, many of which are public util-
tiles corporations.
"The big five,' jointly or separately,
WELD a controlling interest in IT'S
companies, a minority interest In 95
others, and an undetermined interest
in 49," the report continued,
History of the packers growth Is
interviewer with Illegal combinations,
rebates, and with undisclosed control
of corporations. The commission
urges full publicity, with corporate
ownership of all industries.
"As to devices for secret control,
there does not exist adequate law. In
its absence unfair competition may
run its course to the goal of mo-
nopoly and ruin of competitors with
out secret ownership being suspect
ed" -

GROWTH ON BONE WAS
CAUSE OF SOLDIERS DEATH
Adams County Man Who Underwent
Operation at Local Hospital,
Dies ut His Home.

The Manchester (O.) Signal says:
Herbert Stanley Scott, the young re-
turned soldier boy who several weeks
ago had his right leg amputated just
below the thigh at a Maysville hos
pital in the hopes of stopping the raw
ages of a malignant growth on the
bone, died Thursday of last week at
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
julie Scott, near West Union. The op-
Grafton had failed to check the spread
through his system of the poison from
the growth.
The disease is supposed to have de-
veloped from an accidental gun shot
wound Stanley received several years
ago while hunting. The wound had
not given him any serious trouble and
at the time he was called to army
service. he did not claim any exemp-
tion. He was sent to Camp in August
1918, and was mustered out of service
in January, 1919.
oHOTlly lOllO"HlS MS return lIOll
camp, young Scott began to exper-
ience serious trouble with his leg
and an investigation disclosed q
malignant growth developing on the
bone. His physicians decided that am.
putation was the only chance of stop
ping the spread of the growth, but
this proved of no avail
There is little doubt that the drill
ing and other strenuous camp worl
while young Scott was in the army
service, caused the fatal bone disease
to develop from the gunshot wount
he had received years before. He was
a splendid young man, of jovial
kindly disposition and was general!
well liked. Besides his parents, he il
survived by six brothers and three
sisters.

BAND MAKES BIG HIT AT EWING

The Maysville Boys Band which

with the people in that section of
Fleming county who did not know
what sort of a band we had in Mays

were kind enough to say. that they
would have been more than pleased to
have had the local band for the Fair
and had they not made their contract
with a Lexington organization, the
contract would probably have been
signed.
