THE FIRE FIEND e . David Shield Lost His House and Contents ’> by Fire J OTHER EVENTS >• s Hiram Kraner Was Seven-ty-Three Last Sunday— The Lecture Course 1 L Geneva, Indiana, Nov. 20.—(Special • to the Dally Democrat)—A most dis- ’ astrous fire occurred on Thursday afternoon, which entirely wiped out , the country home of David Shle’ds. I living six miles northwest of Geneva. . A defective flue caused the contlaJgration and before any help could arrive the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be done to save the building or contents. Just a little of the furniture was saved and the rest with the building was , soon nothing but ashes. The loss , is one thousand dollars with no in* , , surance, making the loss a total one, and rather a hard blow to Mr. Shields. Hiram Kraner was seventy-three years old last Sunday, and his children reminded him of that fact by all flocking in to spend the day and which was enjoyed to the limit. Mr. Kraner is one of the best known men in southern Adams, where he has spent the most of his life, and where too, his friends are numerous, and they are as legion as they are numerous. The second attraction of the Geneva lecture course occurred last evening at the Methodist church, Hon. 1 Elijah Brown being the speaker, his subject being "Watching the World Go Round." It was a splendid lecture, and the large attendance was pleased every minute of the time he was speaking.

On Monday, November 29, the Southland Sextet will give an entertainment <jf recitations and singing at the Methodist church here, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society of the church. The admission is twenty-five and fifteen cents, and’t is already predicted that a full house will greet them. — o— HIGH SCHOOL NOTES This has been a very busy week at high school.

BEING DISCUSSED (Continued from page 1J county commissioners sitting as a quasi judicial body. Before the amendment to the road law in 1905, two supreme court decisions had upheld the validity of the act. t’he decision of yesterday brought on injunction proceedings against the commissioners of Hamilton county, is the first test made sipce the amendment of 1905. In that county an action was brought to enjoin the dounty comnftsstoners from letting contracts for building $40,000 worth of gravel roads and from issuing bonds to pay for the work As far as this case Is concerned, any bonds which might have been issued by the commissioners would have been void. Whether or not bonds Issued by other commissioners sitting itfder similar conditions are also void is the question now being raised Another question Involved is whether In cases where no appeal was taken from the decision of the boards of county commissioners In bond Issue cases, the taxpayers have any grounds for nonpayment of the bonds. One Informal opinion by an attorney was that where appeals were take there wau'.d undoubtedly exist grounds for preventing payment It is expected that a number of suits to enjoin payment of bonds will be filed shortly. From a record compiled by the state statistician, it has been learned that of the 1,016 townships in the state, tax levies for gravel road building, which may or may not be utilized for the payment of gravel road bonds under the act declared unconstitutional, 343 townships have such a levy, while 124 have a tax levy made purposely for paying such bonds. Three counties, Blackford. Scott and Johnson, have both levies. Counties in the townships of which no levy is listed for gravel road or gravel road bpnd purposes are the following: Brown, DeKalb, Elkhart, Fayette. Floyd. Fulton. Henry, Huntington, Kosciusko. LaGrange, (Marshal!, Noble, Posey, Steuben. St. Joseph. Vanderburg and Whitley. No record, outside of the counties fe kept of the number of bonds issued or of their total amount. In a number of counties the bond> are understood to aggregate more than $500,000. The decision of the court leaves the township still in possession of the assessment law as a means of road building. Under this law a petition may be filed wifi the board of county commissioners by a majority of the resident land owners whose property lies within a mile of the road it is proposed to build. The regular form is gone through by the commissioners, and the cost of the building defrayed by assessments against the land owners whose property lies within a mile of the highway. This is the only remaining act by which township gravel roads may be constructed.
