-FOUR ARE-FREED
IN DUMPING CASE
Only Baker and Contractor
Face Suit Brought by
Mrs. Hartman.

A court ruling this morning in the
s25, 900 damage suit of Mrs. j. Borden
Hartman, based on the dumping of
4.500 cubic yards of dirt on her elabo-
rate Ridge road estate three years
ago, narrowed the number of defend
ants from six to two.
Only Raymond T. Baker, former di-
rector of the mint, and a dead man
now are being sued.
Justice James M. Proctor directed
the District Supreme Court Jury
trying the case to return verdicts of
not guilty against Mrs. Delphine
Dodge Baker, william P. Lpscomb,
Inc, contractor for construction of a
home on the Baker estate, which ad-
Joined that Of Mrs. Hartman; j. H.
Small & Sons, subcontractor, and
Logan Pingree, another subcontractor
Two Left Defendants.
He decided to let a jury determine
the responsibility of Baker and the
late Joseph P. Maher, a subcontractor
in charge of excavating on the estate.
Maher'S executors have been substi-
tuted as defendants.
Justice Proctor annouced that ii
was only the testimony of Mrs. J.
A. Van Kaathoven, 1155 Sixteenth
street, daughter of the late William
Belknap. Secretary of War in the
Grant administration. which kept him
from exonerating Baker.
When the trial began two days ago
Mrs. Van Kaathoven testified that
MI. and Mrs. Baker visited her home
and told her of dumping the dirt.
She quoted Baker as saying:
BY the way, had to get rid of
some dirt. so I dumped it on Daisy
Harriman's place. She was in Ber-
muda, and sent her a cable asking
her permission, but I did not receive
an answer, so I dumped it anyway
Daisy and I are good friends and
have been for long time. I did not
think she would mind"
Baker Denies Charge.
Yesterday Baker was called as wit
ness for the plaintiff and denied he
had authorized any one to place the
dirt on the Hartman estate.
Mrs. Hartman was in nthe court
room at the time. The two old friends
did not speak.
Justice Proctor held there was not
sufficient evidence to show Mrs. Baker
had ratified her husbands acts.
The verdict In favor of the other
defendants was based on the ground
that Maher was an independent con-
tractor and they were not responsible
for his actions.
Exceptions to the judges rulings
were taken by c. H. Merillat, repre-
senting Mrs. Hartman; Walter N.
Tobrianer, Mr.. Bakers attorney, and
William O'Connell, representing
Maher.
Yesterday the jury was taken to
Mrs. Harriman's estate to see the huge
pile of earth she has allowed to re-
main for three years in what was to
have been sunken garden.

atoms and costs ERE submitted by

mittee of E business people ap-
pointed by President Dave STALL
COP to get subscriptions or Sell
$40 shares in the building to the
amount of $500 90, which Town

ted would be the initial cost. The

lowing six business people raised

President StalIcop announced
the meeting Monday night that
Information gained from school
board officials in Glasgow and else
assured US that in build
.ng our new school house here in
Wheeler the state would DeCeSsar-
ly take the school off our hands
~ furnishing teachers and books.
Also that considering that the state
loes furnish teachers and books,
We would not be allowed to charge
uition as was at first planned to
make the school self-supporting.
One of the great arguments
brought out at the meeting for 60
ne down in our pockets and build
NJ this school besides the benefit
Wheeler children is the fact
hat families will be brought here
~ the attraction of a good school
nd our own families will be kept
moving away. Also popula-
ion means wealth So III It every
usincss house in Wheeler will
eneit by a large school population.

Snake Bites

The rattlesnake, the. copperhead
and the moccasin ale the only
important poisonous snakes IN NO
America and one or more of these
species are found in every state in
the union except Maine. and New
Hampshire.
Children are bitten when at play;
boys while trying to catch rabbits
and men and women bitten when
working; surveyors, civil engineers
carpenters, and men working in
the open are exposed. However,
for all the poisonous snakes of No.
America there is an antidote, anti
venim.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Apply a tourniquet a few inches
above the bite-a handkerchief,
cord or garter-not tight enough
to stop circulation, but to retard the
flow of blood in the veins first un-
der the skin on its flow toward the
heart.
The sole object of the tourniquet
is 20 delay absorption of the poi
sou into the general circulation.
TOo tight a bandage will cause
gangrene and destruction of the
flesh below il.
Therefore it is important to re-
lease il every is minutes for a
minute at a time.
Apply local treatment by max
ing an incision and suction.
Make a cross cut inclSion at each
fang mark d inch deep and u
inch long. This will allow some
of the poison fluid to escape.
The removal of the poisonous
fluids is increased by suction by
the mouth and can be done safely
if there are no sores or scratches Oh
the tongue or membrane lining
the mouth. (
This suction should be repeated /
every IS minutes. '
Insert antivenlm serum along
the edge OF the swelling II you have
it. Ii you don't, Call d doctor and :
tell him what happened.
Make every effort TO obtain medi- i,
Cal attention and the serum any !,
how.
D0NTS L
Don't run or gel over heated. }
Don't take any alcoholic Stimu-
liant. Circulation Increased by eX- :
or alcohol serves to distri-
butte the poison more rapidly over
the body.
Don't depend on snake bite cures
or home remedies commonly used.
They are of no value. !.
Don't burn the sight of the bite n
strong acid or lie.
Don't hesitate to call help from 4
the medical professionalism know u
now to treat it.
