*' ■‘mall matter. aHha Hot-BBea at WaMHliir, ladlaaa. Adar the act of March t, IIH

Mayor-Elect Charles G. Spitler will take office the first Monday In January. He has already decided on his three appointive officers, city marshal, city engineer and city fire chief, and in each case retains the same efficient men now holding the Jobs., William R. Shesler will be continued marshal, W. Frank Osborne, engineer, and J. J. Montgomery, fire chief. There were other applicants for the job®, to be sure,, but Mr. Spitler learned after , making thorough inquiry that these officials were fulfilling their positions faithfully and to the general satisfaction of taxpayers and efficiency being the aim of Mr. Spitler, as it ha® been iwith Mayor Meyers, the claims of the men for reappointment could not be discredited. The nightwatch is not appointed by the mayor, but is elected by the council. The next election will be in June. Mr. Critser is filling the job in a faithful manner and giving satisfaction, we believe, in every respect. On the first meeting night of the council in January, Mayor Spitler will announce his committees. 1

MISS KELLY GETS JUDGMENT FOR $10,000

Miss Nall Drake Beturns From Columbus, Ohio, Where She Was Witness in Damage Suit.

Miss Nell Drake returned Saturday from Columbus, Ohio, where she had for two weeks attended the damage trial of Miss Marie' Kelly against the Columbus street railway company and a garage company of that city. Miss Drake was a witness for the plaintiff and the case lasted two weeks and resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff for SIO,OOO. Ou August 20th, 1912, Miss Drake, accompanied by Mrs. W. T. Jones and niece, Miss Marie Kelly, of CunOhio, were in Columbus and entered an automobile and were being driven about the city when the auto was struck by a streetcar and all were thrown out Miss Kelly suffered injuries that kept her in a hospital for several months and that will always leave one arm crippled. Mrs. Jones and Miss Drake escaped i injury. Miss Kelly brought suit jointly against the garage company and the street railway company and the judgment is against the joint defendants, the jury not having the right to divide sponsibility and the defendants' win have to determine that among themselves. They will have four months in which to .decide whether or not to appeal from the decision, but it is quite certain that Miss Kelly will receive the money eventually, as both of the defendants were public carriers.
