EIVER NAMED FOR THE COLONIAL Dickinson Trust Company to Act in This Capacity For Creditors. THE MORTGAGE IS HEAVY. $70,000 IS THE AMOUNT AND IT IS HELD BY PEOPLE'S LOAN & TRUST COMPANY OF WINCHESTER. Application was made in the Wayne circuit, court this morning to foreclose a mortgage on Edwin M. Campfield and Gertrude Campfield, his wife, by James Goodrich, attorney for the People's liOaa and Trust company of Winchester. The appointment of a receiver was asked also, and the Dickinson Trust company of this city was selected. The court has set Tuesday, April 7 at 10 o'clock as the time the application of the plaintiff for the appointment of a permanent receiver will bo heard. The loan and trust company seeks to take charge- of the property known as tliw Colonial block, located at the corner of Main and Seventh streets and Including the Colonial annex, located ou South Seventh street, directly in the rear of tho Main street building. The company holds a mortgage for $7o,000 against the defendants. The First National bank of this city is named as a defendant, inasmuch us it 18 a creditor of Campfield. The receiver is empowered to collect the rents, profits and earnings arising from tho ro;il eslato ami to apply the same to the payment of taxes and necessary improvements for the preFervation of the property and to tho payment of tho principal and Interest of the plaintiff's debt ami the: :osts of this suit. The appointment of a receiver was made under an emergency clause showing it was necessary without notice to the defendants. Tho Dickinson Trust company is required to serve under a bond of 300,000. The receiver takes charge of the property immediately and all tenants are directed to pay the receiver all rents due accruing from their occupancy of the real estate or any part of it. NEVER TO BE HEARD. Suit Against Campfield Not Dismissed However. Satisfactory arrangements have been mad i by the First National Bank with Kdwin M. Campfield, owner of the Coloma1 block and there is no likelihood tin' application made by the bank for n icceiver for Campfield ever will be heard in court. The suit has not been dismissed, but it will not bo brought to tiial, according to statement of J. .. It ;pe. the bank's attorney. In ex plaining the present attitude of the bank, Mr. ltupe stated everything has been accomplished outside of court that could be brought about through a receiver and consequently none will be asked for nor needed. Nearly all of the claim of the bank against Campfield has been paid and it will not bo necessary to prosecute. The petition for a receiver was made on the ground Campfield had violated his contract with the bank, whereby it was provided the bank would advance him money and he in turn was to turn over to the bank all moneys collected as rentals from the Colonial block. It was alleged the defendant had failed to keep his contract His Lecture on Job. "! dunno what dey call Job a patient man for," said Brother Dickey. kne of all de growlers I ever beam tell en he sho' wuz de growliest! But h sho' did have enough ter make hi?" growl dat he did!

GIRL WAS LOCKED IN Afterthought of Clerk Penny Saved Girl From Spending Night in Court House. WAS ON VERGE OF TEARS. It was only due to the afterthought of county clerk Penny that a fourteen year old girl was not forced to spend last night as a prisoner in the court house. The girl had been in attendance j'i i'o Lamott-Little trial and had le',1 lore court adjourned in the evening. She did not return until almost 6 o'clock and just as the clerk was leaving the building, which had been locked previously by the jaintor, Mr. Penny presumed it probable that court might be in session and knew if such were the case others in the building would have keys. After the girl had entered the clerk locked the door. He had crossed the street and was en route home when he thought it might be there was no one left in the court house but the girl. He returned and unlocked the door. There stood the girl on the verge of tears. She had gone to the court room and found it deserted. She returned to the front door and it was locked. She was in a quandary as to how to proceed when the clerk returned and solved the problem for her.

MUNCIE TEAM SURE The Union Traction Company Means Business and Will Repair Park.

PIQUA READY FOR THE FRAY Muncie fans are greatly plaasad with the prospects of having their team in the I.-O. league managed by A. J. ! Watts, the well known Toledo baseball man. When Mr. Watts comes to look the field over he will be welcomed with open arms. The sporting writer on the Muncie Press states that the Union Traction company is sincere in its efforts to have a club placed in the field and as soon as the weather permits the company will repair the fences and stands at the West Side Park and make everything ship shape for the season. All that it will be necessary for Watts to do, if he takes control of the club- b to siSn UP a teanl that win keep .Muncie in the running irom start to finish the Muncie fans will then do the rest. West Side park Is quite a little distance from the center of town but this handicap would be offset by good street car and traction service. At Piqua the majority of stock in the ' baseball company has been placed. This ; week tho promoters of the company j are at work placing the remainder of j tho stock and soliciting subscriptions! for season tickets. Their efforts are i meeting with success and at the Van j Wert meeting Sunday, Manager Sauk j will be able to report that everything in hi3 city is in readiness for the opening of the season. GENERAL PROTEST WILL BE RAISED BY THE F (Continued From Page One.) commissioners to comply with the request and proceed according to law. This means tax payers residing in Wayne township four or five miles from the site of the proposed road will have to pay their share for its construction. It is doubtless there will be general protest among the farmers and rural residents to paying for a road that they will regard as almost entirely for the benefit of the city. The usual method of procedure will be followed. An engineer and viewer must be appointed and a profile of the proposed road must be prepared. The county auditor must advertise for bonds and the treasurer dispose of them. Tho residents of the township will be taxed to pay for these bonds. Another feature provided for by the law governing such road construction, Is that after the township has been taxed to build the road, it loses all vestige of authority over the same. The law says: "After any street shall have been improved .hereunder, the trustees of such town or tho common council of such city shall have control of the same and shall maintain the same in repair." The Turret Battery. Early in the nineteenth century, In 1812, Colonel John Stevens conceived 1 the Idea of the construction of an Iron j plated vessel of war with a saucer shaped hull, propelled by screws so arranged as to give a rotary motion to luu bu uuiuie. lue utxuvij wits iv w of tha heaviest ordnance of the time i and the plating heavy enough to resist! the shot of similar guns at short range. The main purpose of the craft was harbor defense, and the plan of action was to moor the vessel by a chain leading down through the bottom of the ship at its center and to spin it around this center, firing gun after gun as it came in the lipe of fire, thus anticipating the later Timby turret, which in 'turn was the germ of the modern monitor armorclad. Such a vessel was i actually built half a the Russian government and was a good representative of the first Stevens battery. Cassier's Magazine. Paved With Tombstones. "Not the least noteworthy thing about the beautiful building," writes Dr. Sundermann from Mayence to the 1 Woehensehrift, referring to the cathe-! dral of that place, "is the pavement. I This is made with stones on which ' there are Hebrew letters, which aroused our curiosity. Investigation showed that the stones at one time marked graves in the Jewish cemetery and had been taken thence when there was a scarcity of building material and used ; to pave the cathedrai. They have re mained there ever since, and some of the inscriptions are still in a fair state of preservation." Its Cost. A Frenchman, meeting an English oldier with a Wafeiloo medal, animadverted sueenngiy on the government for bestowing tuch a triCe, which. h deciared. did not cost 3 francs. "That is true, to be sure," replied the hro. ' It did not cost the English government quite 3 franca, but it cost the French a Xapoleon."'

Such au affidavit was made necessary because of the variance between the laws of this state and those of Pennsylvania. The executors of the will of Mrs. Starr had sought to file it for probate and record in Pennsylvania and learned that proof of the will by two subscribing witnesses was required. The name of Edward Klute appeared as the other witness.

Tbe first attempt to reclaim the Maghaya doms in Champa run was made by Mr. (now Sir E.) Henry. He found the greater number of the adalt members of the tribe were in Jail. Every police officer was held responsible if any doms were found In his Jurisdiction, with the result that as soon as a dom was released from Jail he was usually returned thither under the bad livelihood sections. Agricultural settlements were established for the tribe, but they do not seem to have been very successful as civilizing agencies. The settlements serve as houses for the women and children, but the men are seldom found in them. The females generally bawk stolen property in the villages and act as spies. Bengal Gazetteer.
