Lenhart & Heller filed the rasp in the Adaans circuit "court about two years ago, and later a change of venue was taken to Wells county. The court found for the plaintiff, and the railroad company, ( through its receiver, Walter L. Ross, . instructed its attorneys.

BRITISH GOLFERS NOT AFRAID, SAYS EXPERT (By Henry L. Farrell, United Press staff correspondent) New York, Dec. 24 —All England is not so pessimistic about the proposed American golf invasion next summer. When the British golfers first heard that funds were being raised here to send twenty American link experts to England next summer after the British amateur and the open championships, many declared that it was all over. America, by such a drive, surely would succeed. However, “Fairway,” a British ex pert, writing in “Spofting Life,” does not see such cause for alarm. "If our leading amateurs keep up on their game throughout the winter months,” he writes, “the fears of those pessimistic prophets who would have us bow to the inevitable as a result of American preparation foi invasion may be dispersed when the time arrives for the international duel.

"Fortunately we are, or should be quite immune frojn ■ defeat with the talent we possess. I do not care how well Robert Jones, Charier Evans, or Francis Ouimet play, if they come here in the anticipation of success in the open championship, they are more optimistic than usual —even for Americans. We have the veteftins headed by Vardon, Taylor, Braid and Herd; we have the intermediate stage of players, of whom Mitchell, Duncan and Ray are the most prominent, .and we have the younger generation, such as Allis, Ockenden and Holland, a combination which should produce the individual who will defeat the strongest forces produced by America or any other nation, “When it has been necessary, England invariably -has -found naan’ - w umrcojDTncea. ve stall d<rtßj ih 0 the season of 1921.’*. | A handcuffed bicycle rider recently made a 10,000-mile trip through the eastern states in less than seven I nnKinmiii.iim.ifi

With the report of the December ■ session of the board of pardons before him. rite governor was expected 'o follow the recommendations made by it in nearly every case. In the rush or the closing weeks of his term of offic, he does not have time to personally investigate the records of the convicts and for that reason has -refused to consider any petitions except those ■coming to him from the recommend itions cf the pardon board. A thirty-day parole was recommend led for Dr. Nelson Ross, sentenced to life imprisonment from Delawar • ■ county for the murder of an interurban conductor following an argument about a fare. Whether the parole W'll be made permanent depends upon Gov ernor-elect McCray who enters offiu ' I* * before it expires. Other action of the board included: Pardon recommendation for Glen C. Cavender. Allen county. Commutation of sentence reedmmended for Otto Krenn. Allen counts: Leslie Keever, Delaware county: Charles Blasher, St. Joseph county. Refusal recommended: Charle; Clay, Allen county; Urban Faurot, Huntington county, Paul Regande Huntington county; Charles Krist. Lake county; William Landon, Huntington county; Thomas Warbum. Delaware county; Arthur Whitesides, Marion county.
