IA SALLE Girl. FOR
$4,000 DAMAGES
PAIR WHO FIGURED IN AN AUTO
ACCIDENT LAST YEAR ARE DE-
PENDANTS IN BIG TRESPASS
SUIT STARTED TODAY.

A La Sale young woman Miss Eliza
beth Thompson was made defendant in
a $4,000 damage suit started in the
Circuit Court today by John Bruch,
farmer residing south of Peru. Only
the praecipe in the case was filed by
the attorney for Bruch, Charles w.
Helmig of Peru. and the declaration
making public the cause for action
was not entered on the court records.
1t is said however that the action
is the outgrowth of an automobile
action, in which Bruch and Miss
Thompson figured near Cedar Point
in August 1920. Miss Thompson is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Thompson and was driving the car
owned by them when the smash up
occurred
Both autos were 1iadly wrecked.
and the occupants of both cars were
injured.
1t is alleged that the plaintiff in
the suit filed today alleges that Miss
Thompson was at fault when the
smash up occurred.
The case is scheduled to come up
for hearing during the October term
of the Circuit Court.

FIND PREHISTORIC
MONSTER IN MO.

prehistoric reptile or deep sea mon
ster of gigantic proportions, has been
uncovered on farm near Racine,
Mo, fifteen miles south of here, it be.
came known today
The general contour of the fossil
is in good state of preservation and
resembles giant lizard. The head
is two feet long The forelegs meas
ures twelve feet in length and the
petrified object is twentylfour feet
long from tail to head the tail meas
uring twelve feet. While the outline
of the monster Is regular parts have
been broken and earth filtered into
the openings. All of the separated
parts fit together, however, imbedded
in the legs of the monster are numer!
Gus fossils and shells This led many
persons who visited the discovery to-
day to the belief that it might have
inhabited the sea in prehistoric days.
The remains are white on the out
side, resembling limestone. but on
the inside they are the color of flint
and extremely hard.

FREEDOM OF CITY.
IS ASSURED THEM.
WAR MOTHERS SECURE USE OF
ROOM AT POLICE HEADQUAR.
TIERS TO HOUSE TRANSIENT
GUESTS-LoOKING FOR A WAY
TO FEED THEM.

The question of providing some
place for housing the unfortunate eX-
| soldiers when passing through the
city in quest OF work, as quite a num-
ber do, came before the city council
last evening The War Mothers of
Ottawa had appealed to Mayor
Weeks fer some place where sleeping
arrangements could be made to house
these untOrtunates, rather than treat
them as common yags and commit
them to the city Jail The mayor
brought the matter to the attention
of the commissioners and all agreed
that something ought to be done
about it. Finally the mayor suggest
ed as the only place he knew of that
might be used was the vacant room
back Of the police headquarters. This
seemed to meet the approval of the
others and on motion of commissioner
Bradley the War Mothers were ac-
corded the use of the room.
1t is understood that the philan-
thropic organization will cause it to
be put IN suitable condition and
equipped with cots for the use of
the unfortunate men, who entered the
service Of their country at the time
of her need, when travelling through
the city without the wherewithal TO
purchase a meal or place to sleep
There are many such men in the
country compelled by force of cir
cumstances to look, for work that
seemingly cannot be found Some OF
them arrive in Ottawa hungry and
fOotsore. and as a last resort apply to
the police for permission to stay at
the Jail for the night.
1t is this class of itinerants that
the War Mothers, with thoughts of
their own boys in mind, have taken
the initiative for providing a place
to sleep. They have in view, also,
providing some way for raising mon
cy which may be used for furnish
ing food for them, but plans for this
purpose have not yet been perfected
The municipal authorities seem to
be without power to render aid in
this direction. and thus it is left for
the Charitably inclined to assume the
responsibility, All the expressions
by the city commissioners made at
the discussion of the question last
evening were along the line Of will
lngness to do whatever was possible
to aid in the matter.
