COMMON PLEAS COURT
The case of Tanner r. Starlin VS.
Cora B. Devore ct al, partition, was
heard Friday by Judge Lyme. The
issues in the case are somewhat COM
plicated and grow out of the sale of
a farm of about 100 acres known as
the Frank Fox farm, in Windsor,
which they sold to Tim and Mary
Giblin, subject to the dover interests
of four parties, heirs of Frank Fox,
during the life time of their mother.
Before Mrs. Fox's death Giblins sold
it to Mr.. John A. Carle, who claims
he purchased it with the guarantee
of warrantee deed. The Giblins'
claim is that the sale carried with it
the dowery. The heirs of C. f. Star
lin bring suit for the partition of the
property of about Sd acres. The
court took the matter under consid-
| Grafton.
In the matter of The State of
Ohio VS.. Earl Phillips, assault, no
indictment having been found
|against the defendant, he is dis
charged. The same entry appears
in the case of The State of Ohio VS..
VIM Rogers.
In the case of Luada Vanoster VS..
Mildred Alcott ct al, partition, the
return of the sheriff and report of
commissioners approved and con-
| firmed. Order to sell free of dover
and for cash.

VS.. Geo. o. McGonagle, as admins
traitor of the estate of E. A. Munsell,
