Kellison and Lauer, filed a demur to this complaint, WHICH WAS SUSTAINED BY JUDGE BERNETHA. An appeal from this decision was taken to the Supreme Court, and this court sustained Judge Bernetha, See Indiana Reports, page And this is how the decision of Judge Lairy was "knocked sky h'gh" by the Supreme Court, a fact Vbich existed mostly in the mind of the dense brain of one

LARY AND HIS DECISIONS. C. V. Metsker, of Plymouth, Ind.

Will the Democrat correct its

was a Judge Lairy of Lo-

kansport who rendered a decision

in the "Elephant" case in favor of Wm. G. Hendricks, of the bastard republican organ. That decision was later knocked sky high by the Supreme court. Special Judge Lairy, who came to O'Keefe's rescue in the court house case, will doubtless find the Supreme court a snag, so far as adding anything to his opinion on a question of law is concerned, just as it was when the former Lairy decision went down under its weight. Jacob Xess realizes that OLairy and O'Keefe sounds very much alike. Plymouth Democrat. ' i

miser v for them. This would be all right with the commissioners, but it is not quite fair with the tools which Metsker uses. For instance Jacob Xess. He will be forced to stand the expense of this figh't alone, and the Democrat will continue to "coach" the losing fighter. Why not spend a little, an'd help out the man who became involved, listening to talk of the Democrat's editor?

In his usual nasty language, which Ve rqmnc only to prove the falsity thereof. Editor Clay W. Metsker, of the Plymouth Democrat makes the above absolutely false statement, in his newspaper Thursday evening. In his futile effort to "stand behind" Jacob Xess, in the Iatter's fight against the Board of ComtTMssioners of Marshall County, the eklitor of the Democrat, attempts to belittle the decision of Special JuVlge Moses B. Lairy of Logan sjort, who dealt a double blow, to Editor Metsker and his

underling Councilman Jacob Xess, when he knocked out the

injunction against the board of

commissioners, and decided that

the contract made -with Contract or Arthur O'Keefe bv the com

missioners, was perfectly legal.

with one small exception, under

which decision the Marshall

County Court House, will be repaired, after lying in a dismantled condition for over four months, subject to the ravages of the weather. The Chairmanship Case. Before discussing the Court House case, let us return to the old Republican County Chairmanship case, which the Democrat resurrects in such an absolute disregard for truth and facts. The following are the facts in that old calse and disprove the false statement of the Democrat. Thursday evening. First, Judge Moses B. Lairy, who decided against Jacob Ness, and his chief backer and bondsmen, Editor Metsker, in the court house injunction case, is an attorney of Logansport; he was never a regular judge, and is a brother to Judge John Lairy of Cass county .who .is .mentioned, .but took no part in the chairmanship case. Second the Democrat says that the decision of Judge Lairy in the chairmanship case, was knocked "sky high" by the supreme court. .This is as far from

the truth as it can possibly be. F. E. Garn filed "quo warranto" proceedings in the Marshall circuit court, which on change of venue went to Cass county, Judge John Lairy taking jurisdiction. THIS CASE WAS NEVER TRIED BY JUDGE LAIRY, BUT WAS TRANSFERRED TO HOWARD COUNTY, AND WAS THERE DISMISSED, AND 'COSTS PAID BY THE DEFENDANT. Gam filed a "mandamus" case against the election commissioners, John R. Jones, William Everly, and F. M. Buxkett. The attorneys for the election commissioners, Messrs.

rank misstatement, or allow itself to ero down once more, as a

chronic fabricator? Answer please, Mr. Metker. Court House Will Be Repaired. The decision of Special Judge Moses I. Lairy, handed down Wednesday, will restart the work of remodeling, which was begun by Arthur O'Keefe before the injunction suit was filed by Jacob Xess. The decision of Judge Lairy holds, and governs,' until it 11 .1 . .

is reversed in me supreme eoun.

if it is taken to the supreme court, and reversed by that body. Unless another bond is filed, ami an

injunction aisked of the supreme

ourt, then the case, if it is ap

pealed to the Supreme Court by

Xess, will have to await its turn :efore. that court, and in all probibilitics, would not be readied until the work of remodeling the court house has been completed, and Kiid for. Inasmuch as the decision of Lairy holds until it is reversed, then should the supreme court later reverse his finding, (whidh is improbable) the later decision cannot force , a repayment of the money. The only h'ope of Xess is to file 1 bond in the supreme court, and attempt to secure an injunction from that court. The bond which is nied. is no specific sum, but

mu?t be a guarantee to pay costs, nnd whatever damage might arise

fron the pending of the suit.

WHAT DAMAGE IS LIABLE TO ARISE TO THE

COURT HOUSE. IF THAT

1'UILDIXSG STANDS WITH

OUT A ROOK AXD REPAIRS MUCH LONGER? Quite a bit we think, and who will come forward and go on the bond of Ness in the Supreme court guaranteeing these damages? Will Metsker, who went on the bond in the Marshall circuit court, go on the bond in the Supreme court? Let us wait and see. We don't believe that he will. There are plenty of people willing to help a man fight his battles providing that it does not lose them anything. When it comes to a case of help pay, most such helpers take to tlight. Jacob Xess will be called upon to finance his own fih t against the Board of Commissioners, and his court expenses will be heavy.

It is highly improbable that Jacob Xess would have ever entered this fruitless .and expensive fight against the county had he not been talkcxl into the action, by woulU-be 'directors of county affairs. The enmity of the Democrat and its editor to the Board of Commissioners is known to every voter of Marshall county, who

reals the newspapers. It will be remembered how the Democrat fought atgainst the election of E. C. Martindale to the office of County Attorney. How the Democrat threatened all kinds of things against the commissioners should they dare to electf Martindale, under Which persuasion, it is needless to remark that they did just what the Democrat wished them not to do. Among other things 'the Democrat threatened to reaid the Democratic commissioners out of the Democrat party, threatened to opjxyse them in all of their undertakings, and in other won-s, trv to make life a

Tobacco in Indiana. According to V. S. Blatchley, state geologist, Kentucky growers of l'urky tobacco have turned thciir attention to the Indiana tobacco have turndd their attrition to the Indiana tobacco belt and will probably begin its dovolopumit within the near future. Mr. Blatchlcv has bean consulted bv the growers concerning the soil of the bellt, its otxent and its development as a tobacco field. Mr. Blatchleiy has recently completed a soil survey of a large part of

tire tract, ami nas other surveys under "wav.

The tobacco belt in tlvis state,

according to Mr. Blatchlcv, extends along the line of the out

cropping of the Mitchell lime

stone, from the Ohio river, in Floyd county, in a northwesterly direction to the northwest corner of Putnam county, passing through Putnam, Owen, Monroe,

Lawrence, Orange, Washington, Crawford, Harrison and. Floyd counties. "The soil of the belt." aid Mr. BTatchky, "is distinguished from the alluvial, or drift soils, in that it has bcvTi formed by a decomposition of the Mitchell limestone. It is the same as that of the Bur-

fields of Kentucky, and, in

my opinion, is as well suited to tobacco growing as that across

the Ohio river. The best part of

the field perhaps, is to be found

in Owen countv, where the long

hillsides produce the. fin.st kind )f Burley crop."

Wash the Bottles.

Wash the milk bottles, ladies,

before returning them to your dairymen. The state pure food inspectors are insisting upon that step and are now -making a campaign along that line in adjacent cities. In other words you are ex peeled to keep your own dirt and disease germs at home and not mix them with those from other people's homes. .Take warning aml don't let the inspector find you napping a dirty milk bottle on your porch.

Brothers Engage In Duel. Winchester, Ind., Oct.. 21. John Dull shot and 'seriously wounded his brother. Marion Dull in a pistol fight this morning near Unionport, a village ." miles southwest of Winchester. The trouble arose over the payment of a grocer)' bill. The Dulls have a contract for the construction of a county ditch near Unionport and have been at work there for several days. They are well-to-do citizns of Randolph countv and are well known.

Leave For Oklahoma. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Kuhn and daughter Meta, left for Oklahoma City, Okla., yesterday, Where they will make their future home. A number of their friends were at the station this morning to bid them GoU-speed and wish them happiness in their new home.

The killing frosts of the last few nights and the consequent carpeting of the fields and wood with -deadened grass ajid fallen leaves have been a signal for increased activity in the office of the .-täte fish ami game commissioner and in that of the secretary of the state boatM of forestry. Both are preparing for the annual oncoming of the hunter, but with widely varying purposes the former to see that the hunter's greed does not overcome

the sportsman's honor, while the latter is preparing to protect the owner of the woods against the

Dortsman's car lessness. The

forces in uV two offices arc com-'

binding their efforts along th lines, and the hunt who carelessly sets fire to a heap of dried and fallen leaves, to Ut the blaze spread through acres of forest, is as certain to feel the grasp of the law as is one who forgets that fifteen quails are as many as he is allowvd to Ibag in any one day. In preparation for his part, Chas. C. Dean, secretary of the state board of forestry has called attention to the farmers and hunters through the newspapers of the state o he loss by forest fires during the last year and the necessity of carefully guarding against conflagrations, especially during the hunting season. In addition, he hs caused to be print

ed on muslin copies of the law against setting fire to forests or fields, and these will be posted in conspicuous places throughout the state. A fine of from $5 to $50 mav be anessed against any

person found guilty of wantonly

causing a forest hre. The indications at the office of the fish ami game commission are that when the season for rabbits ami qualis opens November 10, the farmers and keepers of game preserves for private shooting will see a great influx of fustian clad gun-bearers arriving via rail or automobile, to say nothing of the local sportsmen who do not give so much attention to dress and who usually show up on f(X)t. By an enactment of the general assembly, rabbits are protected from October 1 to November 10, not so much for the rabbits as to protect five young quails, the legislators evidently knowing how difficult it is for a rabbit hunter in the crisp October air to refrain from taking .a shot at a

youthful Bob White sailing across the stubble field, and running his chances of being invited to the office of a justice of the peace by a wary aime warden. Consequently they arranged to keep the hunters out of the field m.til the regular date for opening the quail sason. The experience of the game commissi vier has beer tnat the law works admirably.
