Report OF Condensery Survey

A committee of business men met
at the home of the county club
agent Tuesday evening, to go over
the dairy survey for the last time,
before submitting it to the cooper
ating official of the B. & O. rail-
road, the latter part of this week.
The group felt that things were
progressing very well, since re-
turns at present represent 1852
cows. Latest statistics show that
there are $500 cows in the county
which leaves only 948 to be report
ed. Reports show that if the mar
ket is satisfactory, there can be D.
$50 cattle added. To date there
have been 1,164 farms reported,
with Deerfield, West Windsor and
parts of other townships yet to
come in.
Those present at the committee
meeting were c. B. Smith, Rufus
Brown, Frank Coulson, George
Lowell and Frank Barrett.
Recent reports from the CON-
pany considering locating here, in
dicate that they "areg very much in
terested and anxiously waiting the
final results"

WINSTON AND WESTON DOTY
MEET DEATH In FLOOD

Tuesday morning Mr.. Robert J.
Naylor of Malta received a tele-
gram from his sister, Mrs. Olive
Naylor Doty Of Venice, Cal, telling
Of the tragic deaths Of her twin
sons Winston and Weston Doty, who
lost their lives Monday in the worst
storm in the history Of southern
California. The message did not
state the manner in which they
died The twin boys were born in
Malta, and lacked about month
of being 20 years of age. They left
Malta when about six years of age
bright, lovable children, with
their mother, for southern Califor-
mia, where they had since resided.
About ten years ago, they returned
to Malta for visit. They grad
uated from Venice, Cal, high
school, and had spent two years in
the University of Southern Califor-
MIA, where they were very popular.
During the 1892 football season
they we're cheer leaders at the Uni
versity of Southern California.
However they were not in college
this season. They had taken small
parts in a number of pictures with
Paramount and other picture cor
porations. They were splendid,
manly boys who possessed magnetic
personalities, and their deaths came
as a great shock to the family and
friends. They were always togeth-
er, very seldom permitting them
selves to be apart, going through
life together, and meeting death to-
gether-perhaps as they would
want to do. Besides their mother,
they are survived by their grand
parents, DR.. and Mrs. James Ball
Naylor of Malta, and many other
more distant relatives, who have
the sympathy of many friends.
A newspaper dispatch sent out
Tuesday from Los Angeles, Calf,
reads as follows: Devoted, insep-
arabic twin brothers who, as cheer
leaders at University of Southern
California football games in 1882,
were known to thousands Of per-
sons, lost their lives together in the
southern California floods They
were Winston and Weston Doty, 20,
Venice, Calf, formerly of McCon-
nelsville, o. Sunday night they
were invited to New Year party
given by Mrs. Henry Hesse, Mont
rose. Weston escorted Mary Janet
Cox, Venice, to the party and Win
ston took Gladys Fisher, Santa Mon
lea. At midnight the boys called
their mother, Mrs. Olive Doty, from
the Hesse home, and wished her
happy New Year. She never heard
their voices again. Far down an
arroyo, the twins bodies were
found, Lying close together Miss
Cox escaped, but Miss Fisher was
drowned.

A bond issue in the amount of
$14,645 has been issued to pay for

The 95 horsepower air COM
pressor and the building enclosing
it, son the lease on the Frank Gif-
ford farm, near Pennsville, and be-
longing to the Fred Dover heirs.
burned Sunday morning about Q
O'Clock. This was one of the best
equipped stations to be found in
the county, and the loss is better
than $4,000, and there was no in
surance. Roy Newman who had
charge of the compressor states
that at 1880 everything was in
good shape, and the supposition is
that backfire from the engine must
have caught in the wooden frame
work. The remainder of the build
ing was covered with iron sheet
ing.
The local fire department re-
sponded and succeeded in keeping
the fire from spreading to nearby
tool house and another smaller
compressor.
