Court Decision
Gives z. Clark
Title To Farm
Judge L. B. Frazier
FavOrs Defendant
In Civil Action

Zedrick Clark is the owner in fee
simple of 81 acres of land in Center
township, according to a decision
handed down this week by Judge
L. B. Frazier of the Noble County
Common Pleas Court.
The case was submitted to the
court by agreement of the parties
who waived trial by jury, thus
causing the civil action to be taken
under advisement by Judge Frazier.
The civil action listed Aaron D.
Bates and ARIA L. Bates as plain
tiffs against Zedrick Clark, defend
ant. The plaintiffs, in their petition,
claimed legal estate in and are en-
titled to the possession of the 81
acres located in Center township.
E. p. McGinnis was attorney for the
plaintiffs and L. c. Young for the
defendant.
Judge Frazier ruled, on examina-
ton of the evidence submitted in
the petition and cross petition, "that
| neither the plaintiffs nor any other
person other than Zedrick Clark has
any estate in or is entitled to the
possession of the real property in
volved. But that Clark is the owner
in fee simple and is rightfully in
possession of the tract of land"
"The court further finds that de-
fendant is entitled to the equitable
relief prayed for by him in his ans
wer and cross petition in having his
title to said premises quieted. It is
therefore ordered, adjudged and de-
creed by the court that the title and
possession of said ,Zedrick Clark
property in the petition be. quieted
against the plaintiffs and all other
persons claiming under them or any
of them.
at is further found that the de-
fendant was put in possession of the
premises by the plaintiffs under a
verbal contract and that he per-
| formed certain acts of ownership
including the planting Of corn, grub
bing part of a field the building
of inside fences and pasturing his
horses and cattle upon the land
with full knowledge and without
any objection by the plaintiffs, until
the bringing of this action.
'It is therefore ordered by the
court that the plaintiffs, within
sixty days, execute and deliver tc
the clerk of courts for the defendant
a proper deed of general warranty
for the lands described in the peti-
ton.
"The defendant, having made 6
tender of the purchase price in the
amount of 100000, the same is to
be held by the clerk of courts until
the plaintiffs execute the deed"

Former German Prisoner OF War Writes From Berlin
Concerning the Fast Approaching Christmas Season

me no calm, in the letter to
thank you sincerely and to say
how deeply I was happy, that
you was so very good to me, in
August this year to sent an
food-parcel. With the foods
from your parcel, my wife and
myself, we feel that we are in
the weeks of August on the
road to recovery. I would like
to thank from the bottom of
my heart for making this posi-
BILE; and I would be fortunate
to tell you in the near future
that we have fully recovered
our health and hungry through
your great generosity. The next
thing l remember is seeing my
wife than her eyes lighted up
and a smile looks out on her
pale little face. Dear Mr.. Hud-
china, don't make the mistake
of thinking this is a formality.
We will never forget all of
them for what you are doing for
us in our distress. May you be
fully aware of the fact that it
has not been easy for me to
say in all my postcards the
difficulties of food situation
but it is only the extreme need
which dictated such lines. May
I express the hope that the
time of greatest distress in Ger
many will soon pass. A change
is much to be wished for. 1t is
hoped that peace will soon be
concluded. Let us hope that
1948 may prove to be the year
of recently but not without
preparation a hard work and
may the Almighty grant
throughout the world second
harvest.
And so may the New Year
bring joy to you and all pros
perity. May you be happy.
Merry Christmas and Health
and Happiness in the New
Year, with this wishes / am
closing my letter.
/ remain yours,
Walter Bohrn

Dean Reed GARAGE
Robbery Occurs Early
Wednesday Morning

Sheriff Clayton Mckee and state
highway patrolmen are investigat-
ing the robbery at the Dean A. Reed
Motor Sales, just south of Caldwell
on U. S. Route 81, which occurred
sometime after midnight, Wednes-
day.
The robbery was discovered early
Wednesday morning when Reed

A Chevrolet car, owned by How
ard Carter of Playground road,
which had been left at the garage
for repair, was stolen but later re-
covered Wednesday morning on

munity.
Sheriff Niece said the radiator had
been drained of water and he was
of the opinion that the car was
abandoned by the culprits for this
reason, since no water had been
added. The car was not damaged.
Entrance to the new Reed garage
was gained through a window in
the mems rest room. The large
doors were then opened from the
inside.
The entire garage was completely
ramSacked and an attempt had been
made to break open the safe but
they were unsuccessful in this eff
fort.
A fingerprint expert from the
state patrol was to arrive in Cald,
well Wednesday afternoon and the
fingerprints will be taken as the
investigation continues.
The robbery occurred after 1918
a. m, Wednesday as Reed drove pas

cars, trucks, used cars and trucks
changed ownership throughout
Noble county during the past month
of November, according to check
at the office of Clerk of Courts
George L. Thompson. This number
is slightly less than for the previous
month of October.
New car and new truck sales took
a decided slump, probably due to
the fact that many on the list for
a pleasure car are waiting for the
1948 models. Ten new cars were
listed and thirteen new trucks.
Included in this sale was new
school bus for Buffalo local school
district. William Mckee of Lowell

Council Votes TO
Raise Water Rates
Only Large Consumers
Will Be Affected Here

Large consumers of water in the
village of Caldwell will be paying
more for this service, beginning the
first quarter in 1948, according to
action taken Tuesday evening al
regular meeting of the local coun-
Gil.
1t has long been a known fact
that the rate for Caldwell was too
low and the combined action by the
board of public affairs and council
comes as no surprise.
The new rate was drawn up by
members of the board of public af-
fairs and submitted to the council
Tuesday, for their approval.
The council adopted the new rate
and it will be in effect for only the
one quarter, January, February and
March, l948. If satisfactory, the new
rate will probably continue.
For the first ten thousand gallons
of water consumed, the rate remains
the same. Home consumers will not
be affected by the increase since
they seldom, if ever, use the above
amount. The minimum rate of ST. sc
will continue.
The new rate adopted Tuesday
evening is as follows: first 1000
gallons, minimum of $3.50; next
1000 gallons, 80 cents; next 5000
gallons, 20 cents; next 10000, ten
cents; next $4,000, eight cents and
all over $4,000, five cents.
In the past, large consumers have
been paying eight cents for the Sec
ond 10000, four cents for the next
25,000 and three cents for over
| $4,000
Violet Morgareidge, village clerk
pointed out that the meters on the
new rate would be read April Isl
and the bills mailed May 1st
The increase is expected to meet
with the general approval of the
public
