PROMISE n. COURT
WILL Be COMPLETED
THEY'RE LAYING BRICK
ON W. SMITH ROAD NOW
Ry. Co. Notified to Build Tracks Inn
mediately-Work To Be Rush
ing in Ten Days.

Work Of laying brick on West
Smith road was begun Tuesday with
promises made-weather conditions
proving favorable-that the street will
be completed in a week or ten days.
Both the Court end and that abutting
the N. O. Ry. are bricked, and the
workmen are finishing the middle por-
tion.
1t is promised that work will begin
on North Court street within a week
or ten days, and if weather permits
the work is to be completed this fall.
The interurban people have been no
titled to lay temporary tracks on the
side Of the street that the work of
excavating may begin, and with the
completion of paving on one side Of
the street the laying of permanent
tracks is to keep pace. This, it is
promised, will be followed closely with
the paving of the second side of the
street.
It is said that the steam shovel now
on the ground will greatly expedite
the excavation, thus insuring an early
completion of the whole improvement.
As the present curb is to be left in
tact, it being in good condition, this
will also greatly lessen the time
necessary for final completion of the
work.
The paving contract provides that
the railway company must begin work
on it's temporary and permanent
tracks within two days Of request by
the paving company. This request
was made in writing week ago so
that work should now be in operation
in order to conform to contract.
The public should do everything
possible to aid in securing an early
completion of the improvement, and
collectively and individually it should
insist on its completion before winter
weather sets in.
The contractor is making earnest ef-
fort to secure additional men, and WIS.,
tied several cities the first of the week
in an attempt to get as many as he
could use to good advantage.

CASTER INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

Clinton Edwards, aged II years,
ringleader of a gang OF three Chat
ham boys, was adjudged delinquent
in juvenile court on Tuesday after
noon of this week and sentenced to
the Boys Industrial School at Lam
caster for an indeterminate length of
time.
According to the evidence produced
at the hearing the Edwards lad, Milo
McVicker, aged 10, and Theodore Car
ter, same age, have become more or
less a nuisance in the community in
which they live by their numerous
thefts of eggs, which they, would sell
to the village store keepers, and num-
erous other trifies from the store
owners themselves. The affair has
been going on for some time and cul-
minated last week in the disappearance
of SIS, which belonged to the school
book fund and was taken from the
desk, of Miss Leach, one of the teach
ers. When the teachers discovered her
loss she Immediately notified all store
keepers of the village to be on the
lookout for any child of school age
who appeared with more than hisusual
amount of spending money. In this
way suspicion was attached to the
three and when questioned two of the
boys admitted the theft while the Car
ter lad denied that he had taken any
part in the operations but had been
presented with third Of the amount
as "hush money" Nearly all the
money was returned to the teachers.
When arraigned the Carter lad
turned states evidence and implicated
the other two boys, although it was
brought out that the McVicker lads
parents had never been informed as te
the indiscretions of their boy and con-
sequently had used no corrective
measures.
The father of the Edwards boy was
in court and admitted frankly that
he could do nothing with the young
ster..
Theodore Carter is son of Mrs
Edwards and has been living with
his grandfather, Charles Carter.
The county board Of visitors who
handle all delinquency cases recon-
mended to the judge that the ring be
broken up by sending the Edwards
lad to Lancaster and placing the
other two lads on probation, provid.
ing a different home could be foune
for the Carter boy.

HIS AUTO WRECKED:
DR.. Damon ESCAPES
DOCTOR AND CHAUFFER
JUMP JUST in TINE
Houses Crossing, Scene of Accident,
Said to Be a Danger SpOt-Other
- Accidents Here

DR.. G. ]. Damon and his chauffer,
George Babcock, met with an acci-
dent at Houses crossing on the inter-
urban railway, about 8 o'clock We'd
nesday evening, in which the doctors
Overland car was totally destroyed
and the two men escaped none to soon
to save their lives.
They were driving north on their
return from the Infirmary where the
doctor had been called to visit a pa
tient. Though driving slowly they
were almost on the track when they
saw a car approaching from the
north at full speed. Unable to make
the crossing in safety, as their car
stalled when it was part way across,
DR.. Damon jumped and called to Bah
cock to do likewise. Neither was hurt
but they had just alighted when the
car struck the auto full force. and re-
duced it to a mangled wreckage.
For one moment after alighting the
Doctor tried to push the auto from
the track, but seeing the imposslbllity
of accomplishing this he called to
Babcock to jump and himself walked
a safe distance from the machine.
Neither was injured. Both say
they could not see the interurban
coming until a few feet from the
track, and without time to get across;
the engine, too, stalling just at the
time the front wheels rose upon the
track, quick work was made necessary
for both to escape injury.
Houses crossing is said to be dan
ger point as the road and railroad
run nearly parallel at that point for
some distance. Brush and weeds,
too ,obstruct ones vision as he makes
the approach; the dusk Of evening
adding to the obstruction in this in
stance. t....
Reports say that one or more ma
chimes have been destroyed at this
crossing in the past, and that it is not
so long ago when the railway people
were called upon to pay for an auto
that was destroyed under similar cir
cumStanceS.
