Damage Suit
Filed After
Alteration
Sheriff's Son Files
Suit After Being
Wounded On Glass

AS the outgrowth of disorderly
disturbance, Saturday evening, in
volving Howard Hupp, Caldwell
barber, and his sister, Mrs. Joyce
Bramberry of California, who is Wis
iting relatives here, a damage suit
in the amount of $1,000.00 was filed
Tuesday afternoon in Noble county
Common Pleas court by George
William Mckee, through his at
torney, L. c. Young.
Mckee is the son of Sheriff and
Mrs. Clayton Mckee, and was de-
putized Saturday evening by his
father, when they received a call
to quiet the disturbance at the
corner of Cumberland and Spruce
streets.
According to the petition, the Off
cials found Howard Hupp and his
sister, Mrs. Bramberry in the latter's
car but it had been locked from
the inside.
Mckee broke the glass window
and when he stuck his left arm
through the opening to unlock the
car door, the defendant purposely
and wilfully forced the plaintiffs
arm down and across the broken
glass edge.
Ten stitches were taken at the
office of DR.. E. G. Ditch to close the
wound. The plaintiff says that he
will be famed and crippled from
the accident for several weeks and
he seeks money judgment of $1,000
to cover medical attention as well
as 100000 in damages.
Tuesday morning, Mrs. Bramberry
and Howard Hupp entered a plea
of not guilty when arraigned before
Mayor Sam~Secrest. Hupp provided
cash bond of $4,000 for his ap-
pearance before the grand jury and
Mrs. cranberry cash bond of 5000
for her appearance.
Drawing for the members of the
October term of Grand Jurors will
be held Thursday, September 18, at
the office of Clerk of Courts George
L. Thompson with E. o. Bond and
]. Kyle Walkenshaw, members of
the Jury commission, in charge.
Mrs. Lois Hupp, wife of Howard
Hupp, filed suit for divorce the
past week, and this is believed to
have been largely responsible for
the alteration.
Howard Hupp also appeared be-
fore Probate Judge Otto Polling,
Tuesday morning, for contributing
to the delinquency of his children.
Mrs. Bramberry is said to have
been stricken with an attack of ap-
pendicitis, while lodged in the Noble
county Jail and required medical
attention.

County Veterans
Now Converting
Bonds Inio Cash
Local Banking
Institutions Will
Assist Veterans

The Caldwell banking institutions
were busy, Tuesday, with the rush
of Noble county veterans, who are
caShing in their terminal leave pay
bonds, now permitted by the recent
ly enacted congressional law. A
check at the local institutions re-
vealed that the percentage of the
veterans cashing their bonds in
Noble county will be much smaller
than the average for the state.
Noble county has over 1900 vet
Grams and it is believed that at least
fifty percent of this number will
cash their bonds. Others will play
it safe and let the bonds accrue
interest.
The commerce department estim-
ates that business activity in the
next few months will show Strong
upward surge" due to the cashing
of these bonds. This will also hold
true for Noble county.
Between $55,000,000 and $80,0O0,-
900 will be pumped into Ohio
avenues of trade and commerce by
the end of the year, analySiSts in
Washington believe. The exact
amount for the state and Noble
county will depend entirely on the
number of veterans cashing bonds.
Throughout the state, it is estim-
ated that from so to 80 per cent of
the veterans will cash in their
bonds. In Noble county the percent
age is being listed at SO or CO. This
should hold true in practically every
rural community, according to local
bankers.
About 100000 bonds worth
$1,000, 100000 have been issued and
are subject to cashing. About
100000 odd veterans out of
14,473,000 in the nation have yet to
apply for their terminal leave bonds.
The time for so doing has now been
extended one year.
Local banking officials are point
ing out that "U. S. government is
sues have always been considered
the worlds prime investment and
unless the money is needed now, it
is good business to retain the bonds
which pay interest accruing at the
rate of 212 per cent.
The treasury department has is
sued rules and regulations covering
the operation of banks in handling
the bonds.
Under these regulations, proper
Identification is required. For this
purpose, in most cases, the original
discharge papers should be pre-
sented in compliance with the
Identification instructions.
The request for payment of the
bonds must be signed in the pres
ence of an officer of the bank and
the Identification presented at the
same time. The bonds can be pre-
sented only by the registered owner.
While congress authorized cashing
of the bonds effective September /,
the bonds were not handled until
Tuesday, due to Labor Day.

the A. R. Boyer building, located on
the corner of Spruce and Cumber-
land street The accident occurred
Saturday evening at $50 after the
driver had left the parked truck to
make purchase in the Sunshine
Feed Store.
Damage to the hatchery building
is estimated to be over 100000. In
addition to the destruction of ap-
proximately IL feet of the wall, in
terror installations demolished in
cluded toilets, a hot water tank,
water lines, the stairway, leading
from the main floor to the basement,
and several spare emergency parts,
which were stocked in shelves, were
either damaged or broken,
Another one of Kings truck was
dispatched to the scene of the acci-
dent and succeeded in withdrawing
the slightly damaged truck from the
debris.
Mr.. Boyer explained that a sim
liar accident was averted last spring
when an unoccupied car moved from
same driveway and crashed into his
Plymouth sedan which was parked
in the path of the moving vehicle.
The contact checked the forward
movement and resulted in only
slight damage to the two cars.
1t is believed had the King-owned
truck careened slightly to the right
while in motion, serious damages
would have resulted to a recently
installed incubator which is sitting
within few feet of the demolished
wall. However, the incubator es-
capped without serious damage.
Only the front of the truck was
damaged by the impact, mainly the
tenders and hood.
According to Mr.. Boyer, plans call
for the immediate repairing of the
damaged wall, in addition to other
repair work necessary to bring the
frame building up to its original
Al condition.
Two weeks ago, George Rice and
associates, finished painting the en-
tire building: .Re-lettering the estab-
lishment's name and product on the
front and side of the building was
the handiwork of Mr.. Rice.

Final payment of a farm mort
gage in the Louisville Federal
Land bank district of four states,
including Ohio, interests rural &C.
onomists at Ohio State university,
because the farm now free from
debt had been lost on mortgage
foreclosures or by forfeiture by
every preceding owner since 1882.
The period of 100 years during
which successive owners of this
farm lost their home and their
business because it would not
earn enough to pay operating ex-
penses, overhead costs, and the
family living has included bad
times and good times. The econ
omists say the financial history of
this particular farm is a sharp re-
minder of the need to consider
any farm investment as a long
term plan.
These observers of farm financ-
ing believe prices for Ohio farm
land have reached a point which
should be seriously considered by
prospective buyers, especially by
those veterans whose purchase in
