Mr. Ringer as superintendent of
public safety, attempted to prevail
en- Sheriff Clark to send his deputies
to Mr.. Thomas Office.
Chief Dunn first appealed to
Deputy Sheriff WEIGH to subject
himself to a cross-examination by
Mr.. Thomas. He refused to do SO
until he advised with the sheriff.
~ Refuses Request.
"You will do nothing of the
kind" the sheriff promptly ordered.
This Office will lend no hand to an
attack on the poor girls character.
She and her family have all the suf-
fering they can bear now.
I'm my opinion the plan to rob
this poor child of her character and
add to her burden, which already is
almost beyond human endurance, is
as low and contemplate, as cruel
and as brutal, as the assault itself"
Reports to the effect that Brown
did not attack the girl, but that he
simply took a ring he is alleged to
have given her, have been in circu-
lation for t1sfe than a week. 1t is

 The railroads through their Safety Bureaus have for many years realized the great danger and alarming rate of increase of this useless loss of life and limb, and have made an especial ap. peal to the engineers and fire men to keep a sharp lookout and take every precaution to prevent an accident and eliminate as far as possible this class and kind of accidents and the dire results that follow.

 No knife or other weapon was discovered that she or some one else could have used and the apartment was in perfect order showing that she had died on the bed apparently without a strug- gle The detectives when last talked with were rather of the opinion she died from hemor. rhage caused oy alteration of throat, she having been troD bled with throat affection toe several years.
 Concerning Sol Van Buren I wish to state that the two Van Buren Bros. with sister and mother have been long acquaint- ances and Sol attended to Mrs. Brickwood's affairs while she visited Carlisle and elsewhere.

 Carlisle, Ark,
 Dear Sir
 Knowing you will be willing tC assist a worth while undertak- ing through the columns of your valuable paper, namely, elimina. tion of grade crossing accidents, might l express few thoughts in that connection which have been given from time to time by those interested in Safety, that might perhaps save the life or limb of some worthy citizen of your city or town if his attention Was called to the danger attend ing the crossing of railroad tracks unless they are sure the course in clear and safe.
 The improvement oftthe auto: mobile as thing of beauty and value. is in full accord with the spirit of the age. Practical sci: ence speedily wrought wonders i'll perfecting the machine until today it is a rival for speed and service with the finest locomo: tive engines. It is now the most popular vehicle of pleasure and service for society, labor, commerce, and the professions, in brief, the automobile has en: tered the circle of human ser: vice as a necessity-so much so, that the suspension of it's use for single day would be ca: lamity in any great city.
 With the ever increasing mum Der of autos in use comes an in crease in grade crossing acci dents which are not confined alone to speed crazed drivers and to those who indulge in those dangerous practices that cause large head lines to appear in the public press, but contrarily there are many accidents charged to those who want to play the game safely, but for va rious reasons fail to do so.

The races proved very satisfactory
so far as they progressed. Time was
very good for a half mile track, while
the tie between Nellie Mack and J. L.
S. was indicative of the spirited con-
test shown in the race. Had the rain
held off for the remaining heats in this
first event prophecy was unanimous in
declaring the crowd would have seen
a "Hoss Race"
Failure to see the running event
staged proved great disappointment
to many, not few ladies ansong these
longing to see good running race.
The rain just poured for 20 or 80
minutes, and the track and grounds
was SO wet it was impossible to think
of further racing.
The major part Of the day having
been so pleasant few were prepared
for the rain when it did come. Those
who had brought their auto curtains
with them were not slow in making
preparations to keep dry, while hun
dreds Of others not so fortunate made
a hasty flight for the exhibition build
ifgs and tents.
There was no attempt to dismantTe
the exhibits until after the rain. After
As to so minutes of rain, however, it
cleared up, the sun came out, and the
crowd began to move about again. 1t
proved very sloppy under foot and
even the young people became dis
gusted with the wet conditions and
the crowd soon dispersed and the Me-
dina County Fair for 1919 came to a
happy ending.

vOMAN WEEPS, MAN LAUGHS,
WHEN APPLYING FOR DIVORCE

s Rose B. Smith and her husband,
s Tho P. Smith, appeared together in
county clerks office Wednesday
en the former filed petition for
6 orce and alimony. AS the petit
"a was filed by mutual agreement
robably will not be contested. The
IAN was unable to keep back the
while her husband appeared to
u the situation.
Me couple have been residents Of
Medina county for sometime past, but
were married in Williams county in
September, 1898.
The petition charges the husband
with gross neglect of duty and claims
that he has associated with other
women for number of years and
often made the boast to his wife that
she had lost his affections. 1t further
alleges that when wooing other women
Smith would become ugly and swear
and curse his wife and that on one
occasion he struck her. This was
kept UP for some time, until January
3Oth of this year when he deserted
her and left the county. Later he was
located at Willard, Ohio, and when
the plaintiff went to see him in an eff
fort to reconciliate- him, he was found
in company with another woamn.
The Smiths own several tracts of
land in this section, 1856 acres in all,
and the woman asks that the court
grant her a share of this together
with divorce and alimony.

BRANDT GIVEN S740
AS TRACT DAMAGES
LANDS TAKEN AND CUT OFF
TOTAL ABOUT TWO ACRES
Second Case Assigned For Tuesday,
Sept. 16-Nellie Ring Case Now
On Trial.

The condemnation case Of the Buck
eye Pipe Line Co. vs. Calvin M. Brandt
ct al. was given to the jury about
8 80 Friday afternoon. Judge Van
Deusen read carefully prepared
charge in an effort to so instruct the
jury that an equitable verdict might
be given.
Mr.. Brandt owns two Of the 9 par
cells in dispite, while each Of the other
defendants owns but one. Because Of
this fact he was chosen to make the
test case. The other seven, who all
live near the pumping station at
Brunswick, promise to make fight"
in an effort to get what they deem
justice for the right of way sought by
the pipe line company. They are:
Nellie Ring, Edna Winchel, J. A.
and Leslie Lockwood, Harley Lock-
wood, Daisy Earhart, Frank and Mary
Barabas and George Taylor.
Some twelve years ago, as the story
goes, railway sought a right of way
in this section and to get it without
controversy or delay, it is said to
have paid handsome figure. These
people, it is alleged, know of that fact
and are basing their claims for dam
age largely on that age-old data.
Calvin M. Brandt owns two tracts
one 35 acres and second of GA. In
addition to the acreage take by the
strip used for the burial of the pipe
line, there was a small cutoff of
acreage on each farm. Naturally
when the pipes were buried this cut
off would not be noticeable. On the
home tract of So acres the land taken
totals 1-3 acre and the cutoff u acre.
On the second tract of ga acres the
land taken totals "A acre and the cut
off full acre, or grand total of d
little over two acres divorced from
the two tracts.
In his testimony Mr.. Brandt said he
considered the damages so done would
equal $1,000 in each instance, or to-
tai damage of $4,000.
Asst. Eng. Morgan, in his testi-
mony, said the production of oil in
the Chatham field, under considera-
tion, amounted to 1900 barrels of oil
daily at this time.
A verdict was arrived at within two
hours and reported to the court. The
total damages awarded Mr.. Brandt
were $740. -.
The second case in the series is
that of Nellie Ring, and was called on
Tuesday morning.
Witnesses for the defense were ex-
amined Tuesday-what time, at least,
was not given over to controversy by
the attorneys. These oil cases are be-
ing tried under as stringent conditions
as if a million dollars were at stake
instead of few hundreds. The Court
granted a recess for the Home Com
ing celebration on Wednesday, and the
examination of witnesses was again
taken up on Thursday morning.
In the case Of Buckeye Pipe Line
Co. VS.. G. M. Brant motion for a new
trial was filed on Thursday.

MANY LOCAL CITIZENS
MAKE AIRPLANE FLIGHT

George B. Weaver, from the Ohio
Aviation School at Lorain, was the
man in charge of the airplane that
made the flights from the Fair
grounds last week. During the war
preparations he was instructor in the
U. S. school for aviators at Waco,
Texas. He is a careful flight master
and during his career has made over
10000 flights without any serious ac-
cident.
Most of Thursday and Friday Mr..
Weaver was kept busy in making ex-
hibition and passenger-laden flights.
The charge was SIS a passenger for
straight-away flights, and 500 where
he looped-the-loop. Following are
those who made an air voyage with
Mr. Weaver: Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Boy
