AUTO TURNS OVER TWICE.

VIM. Carey son of w. F. Carey OF
Trip county, was the victim of an
auto accident about six or seven miles
south west of town Monday afternoon
The Carrrys are moving to the west
end Of the county, and young Carey
was searching out good road to
drive their cattle to their new home.
He was driveing a Ford, and while
going along at good speed on per
fectly level ground, his car dropped
in rut, and in attempting to steer it
out of the rut the car was capsized
and rolled over twice, pinning him
beneath it, and he was unable to ex
tricate himself, until John Bonser aud
wife came along and lifted the car of
him, and then brought him to town,
where he boarded another car and
was immediately taken to Winner
for medical attention. He was pretty
badly shaken up and had narrow
escape from death, but at last reports
he was getting along nicely and will
soon be out again. His father went
out after the car the same evening.
The wind shield was broken of, the
front axle was bent, but outside of
that the car was not damaged.

NIAGARA FALLS PLAYS BIG ROLE
 IN OUR HISTORY

Niagara Falls has played an i'm portant part in American history. In 1792 the village, then known as Newark, became the first capital of the infant Province of Upper Canada. In 1873, during the last war between the United States and England, New ark was storm center for the con- tending hosts. In 1S12 it was burned to the ground by rlie Americans un- der General Mcclure, who was se- yerely censured by his countrymen for his wanton cruelty to non-com- batants. The English and Canadians retaliated by burning Buffalo. Just 30 years ago this month one of the most destructive battles of the war was fought near Niagara. In 1866 the Caadnian town was ravaged by the Benians.
 arrived at Niagara Falls, N, Y, to attempt to patch up a peace between the Northern ard Southern states Across the river at the Clifton House. which occupied the site of the hotel where the Mexican and American peace delegates in later years held their conference, four commissioners of the Confederacy met to open ne- gotfations. They were George M. Sanders, Clement c. Clay of Ala bsma. Jacob Thompson of Mississippi and James P, Hoicembe of Virginia. The Confederate Commissioners had made the advances, and President Lincoln requested Horace Greeley, the famous editor of the New York Tribune, to proceed to Niagara Falls and communicate with them.
 On his arrival at Niagara Falls, F., vol w. c. Jewett of Buffalo, promising the Southern representatives safe conduct to Washington. where they could discuss peace terms with the President The reply was that they were not authorized to act for the Richmond government, but that they were willing to accept safe conduct to Richmond, where they would bring the proposals to the attention

''I feel I weiIld be justified in de- ciding at once that MT. Chaloner is competent person, and that his prop erty should be restored to him. How ever, because of circumstances in the case, and because of the duties inn posed on me as a Justice of the Supreme Court, before rendering a. decision I will take the papers and examine them thoroughly"
 Chaloner had arrived from his es- tate at Gotham, Va, and was an eager auditor of all that went on.
 Thomas Shearman has been a com mittee in charge of the Chaloner es- tate Morris Streusant, speaking for MT Chaloner, rehearsed the history of his experiences since his commit ment to BleomingdaIe Asylum as an incompetent in 1899. He escaped from that institution in November of the following year,
 Speaking for the committee, Her bert J. Bickford said he neither op- posed nor favored the motion for the removal of the committee and the restoration of Chaloner's property.
 MT. Bickford mentioned that the gross income from the property held in trust by MT. Sherman was S112,- 090 for the year 1918.
 The feeling of the brothers and sis ters of -Chaloner was made known by Howard Taylor, an attorney and friend of the family. After reviewing briefly the efforts Chaloner had made tc secure what he termed This rights" MT. Taylor concluded by xaRaa. --fsss.f I

 Mir. Taylor said it was unnecessary to have hearings and he believed the quickest way was to have Justice Ford decide the matter at once. In troducing Chaloner to Justice Ford, MT. Taylor suggested that he ask questions which might help him in rendering his decision.
 Justice Ford replied it was un- necessary, as he already had formed a fairly clear opinion of the merits of the case.
