THE COURT NEWS. A receiver is asked to take charge of the business of the Willshire Tele- ■ phone company, in a petition tiled in 1 the Adams circuit court this morning by Attorneys K. C. Parrish and M. L. I Clawson, for Quinn Heaten. The com- ' plaint alleges thut the Willshire Tele- ’ phone company is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Ohio, and doing business In Van Wert county, Ohio and in Adams county,, i Indiana, the principal offices being in the village of Willshire, in Van Wert I county, and that no offices are maintatned in Adams county and that the defendant company has not complied , with the laws of the state of Indiana . in their conduit of its business ini said state. The complaint also alleges j that the plaintiff last spring was awarded a judgment of $550 against I the said company for injuries sustain- | ed when he was thrown from a mov-1 1 ing train operated over the Clover! | Leaf railway while he was employed ! thereon as a brakeman, by reason of I the fact that wires belonging to the ; company were strung too low; that I the said judgment remains unpaid, and I that the defendant company has tak-1 en no appeal from the ruling of the ; court, and that the judgment still stands. He further alleges that the company is likely to become insolvent and he asks that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the affairs of the company, that his claim may be : properly taken care of.

It KLINK & MILLER. , « THE RUSH IS ON |; Mail and Express Service This Week Crowded With Usual Christmas Work IS NOT AS HEAVY' However, as in Past Few Years-A Noticeable Increase Shown Today. The Christmas season is brought i i more forcibly to the minds of the public —and especially the mail carriers and expressmen today—because of the greatly increased number of packages, coming and going, between friendu w-ho reside in distant parts of the . land, and who are of course desirous of reaching each other before Christmas day. "Many have taken advantage of the slogan: “Do your Christmas shopping early,” and as a result a considerable portion of the gift-buying is out of the way, and all that remains in the problem of getting to the friend. The loads carried by the mail men, and I the expressmen today indicate that this big job will be accomplished in plenty of time that all may enjoy the j presents on Christmas morning. While the rush seemed to start in earnest today, those in charge of the mail service and the express service state that the busines will not be as large this year as it has in the past several years, and perhaps it will be less than the average. So many people have been out of work, that the I gift-buying, in many instances, will be confined to members of a family, where in former years members of the family had long lists of friends to re-; ■ member. But everybody will have the Christ- ‘ mas spirit, just the same, whether the finances go as far as it would be de-! sired or not. The feeling that they will have done what they could will prevail. John Habegger of Blue Creek, township, was a Decatur business visitor this morning.
