Although the local elevators and mills are offering $1 a bushel for wheat very little of it is coming in and many elevators are not getting over 200 bushels a week. Should the price break a few cents much more grain would be rushed in probably. Hardly any corn is being received either, although a' record price for this time of year is being offered, 80 cents a bushel 1 . Since new com became fit the local elevators have received not over 1.200 to 1,500 bushels. What corn is being sold Is almost entirely by renters while land owners seem to be holding their crop either for higher prices or to feed. — Bluffton Banner.

COSTS WERE BIG Plaintiffs Will Have to Pay $2,100 to Retry a Law Suit IS A NOTED CASE Bluffton Paper Comments on the Studabaker-Fay-lor Fee Bill The Bluffton Banner of Tuesday evening said: This morning Sheriff Lipkey received a fee bill fo r the famous Studabaker-Faylor case. The bill amounts to something like $2,100. This amount will have to be paid by the plaintiffs in the case before the suit can be retried, having been reversed by the supreme court and sent back for a new trial. Owing to the fact that Simmons & Dailey, one of the firms employed by the plaintiffs were out of the city, it is not known what will be (Jone with the suit. Thomae Faylor, who was the principal man in the suit, has made an assignment of his property at his home in Pennsylvania. Whether the trustee who was appointed by the court will decide to take up the matter and continue it is unknown. This suit is probably one of the most noted ever tried in the local courts and owing to the number of trials it has had has created considerable discussion. It was first tried here and then a new trial granted. Studabaker got a change of venue to Adams county. The first trial there ended in a disagreement. The second trial ended in favor of the plaintiffs. The case was then appealed and reversed by the supreme court. Should the fee bill be paid by the plaintiffs then the case will probably come up for trial again in a few weeks. The fond hopes of a young couple . of Pennville, were blasted Saturday forenoon when they came to this city to secure a marriage license and were t refused the necessary credentials by County Clerk Gillespie, when it was learned that the bride-to-be was not sixteen years of age. The names of the couple were Charles E. Kessler and Myrtle Slentz and the application of the intended groom had been filled out and all was going smoothly on the girl’s application when her age was made known and they were informed by the clerk that it was all off and nothin’ doin’. —Portland Sun.
