JUDGE RULES LAND v BELONGS TO SCHOOL

UNTIL

WRITER CONFUSES WAR AND WEATHER

Another step in the suit of Stephen Thomas agaiust New Garden township for quiet title,, which Judgs Fox recently refused to try, was taken in circuit court today when Special Judge Engle of Randolph county overruled a demurrer filed by Thomas, to the answer of New Garden township to his complaint. Judge Engle found that Thomas cannot reaver a deed to his property

until the facts show the school located on property formerly belonging to Thomas was voluntarily and permanently abandoned by the township trustee, the abandonment in this case being forced on the trustee by the law -nrhV. nrnvlrias that school With leSS

than an average dally attendance of

twelve pupils cannot operate. in hi rullnr. Judge Engle said

school was operated on the land pro11 v a . ad to the township by

Thomas, for eighteen years prior toj 1907 when it was abandoned under the i law,, and that it is now regarded as school property where a school may be opened again when the number of children in the district -warrants. Judge Engl ruled that permanent abandonment, the cause for which Thomas can recover his property, must be brought about by petitions of two-thirds of the property owners of New Garden township and that sucb a step has never been taken. The school was opened in ib. Thomas giving the township a deed for the property on the condition that It be used for school purposes. He is now an aged man and says he needs the piece of land. He declared he understood under the deed that the property would revert to him as soon as soon as the school was closed. The school was closed when the dally average attendance was only ten pupils. DR. CLEM INSPECTS SCREENS ON DAIRIES Dairy Inspector Dr. Lou Clem is making a personal visit this week to each of the forty-four dairies which ,..nniv Richmond with milk, advising

and overseeing the work of screening the darles to eliminate the possibilities of disease and dirt through the flies which, with the approach of hot weather, are becoming numerous All the local dairies use crushed ice i no.irinc th cases of bottled milk,

so Dr. Clem has little to remind the dairymen along that line. There will he little difference, according to Dr. Clem, in the quantity of milk consumed during the summer months and that used during the winter season. As the cows are out in the open most of the time during the summer ' tl'e milk is probably Of a better quality than that given during the winter, said Dr. Clem. PRISONERS TO CUT WEEDS ON HIGHWAY Weeds along county roads will be ..t this vAaf without expense to the

oractically without

expense to the county, Superintend eit Tnnea said today.

The new automobile truck was put in service yesterday and It was found hat twelve orlsoners can be hauled.

Eight are being used to repair bridge floors and as this Is the largest force which can be used In such work, the truck has not had a capacity load.

Within three or four weeks, a gang

of prisoners will start cutting weeas the county. The gang will be

divided to hasten the work. Last vpar the weed cutting was done by

regularly employed labor at the ex mum -f the county.

Property owners will be compelled

to cut weeds on townsnip roaas, reravine credit on road tax at 51-50 a

day. Failure to observe the law in this respect will mean a penalty, the township trustee being bound by law to have the weeds cut on township

roads and assess the charges against

the property. This law operates rrom

June 15 to September 1.

Conflicting official reports late this

afternoon indicated that the struggle which had been raging for the entire day had. not been settled. . Both aides

claimed victory after attacks, withdrawal and counter-attacks. - Many times the sun advanced to . points which it was forced to evacuate some

five weeks ago, only to be forced by

vast fleets of clouds to retire. Ma

different point along the battle line

Richmond people abandoned all at

tempts to remain neutral and threw

their moral support to the sun's side of the cause, who they were glad to note bad not been weakened by : his compelled retirement to a strategic po

sition.

(Note What the reporter who was instructed to write this story about the weather intended to say was that

the sun was shining the greater part

of tne day for the first time in weeks and that weather indications were fair, but after reading statements

from war officers he got the impres

lon, was believed to be dying today of a bullet wound Inflicted by Mayor Charles Wolfe.

COMMENT ON ARMY BRINGS PRISON TERM

TURKISH SOLDIERS JOIN IN RETREAT PETROGRAD, June 3. The Turkish army in the Villayet of Van Armenian is still retreating before the

Russians, it is announced in the following statement on the Trans-Ca-causian frontier:

"In the direction of the Black sea

our artillery bombarded the Turkish entrenchments, destroying Turkish shelter."

Remarks about the German army

have placed a former Richmond rest

dent behind the bars of a Berlin jail

for a short time. For one week, Aurele

Borriss who gave music lessons in this

city several years ago, must endure imprisonment because he said in a

Berlin cafe that the Germans naa buried 900 Englishmen alive at Augsburg. For some time Mr. Borriss, who was a native of Russia, was connected with the conservatory of music at Marion, later joining an opera company as singer. WILLETT TO COME John T.

IN OUSTER SUIT BY STEEL TRUST

TRENTON, N. J., June 3. The federal court today unanimously passed the suit of the government for the dissolution of the United 8tatea 8teel Corporation in favor of the corporation.

The foregoing are the msin points in the decision handed down by Judge Bussington.

COLD WEATHER SPOILS GOOD PROSPECT .

FOR APPLE CROP IN WAYNE COUNTY

Continued cool weather has caused:

prospects for a bumper apple crop to diminish rapidly within the last few weeks, according to Steven Kuth, well-

known fruit grower.

The ground in orchards is covered with apples which have fallen from the stem. Cold weather, Mr. Kuth said, prevented the forming bf a healthy Joint between the apple and the stem so that when the fruit increased in weight it dropped to the ground. Wayne county's peach crop will not be good. There are few peach trees in the county, and the few there are show little prospect of bearing much fruit.

Although retarding the ripening of

strawberries, the damp weather had not injured the berries, which are large and full and need only a few

the market in large, delicious quantities. Raspberries and blackberries, which have Just finished blooming, are in excellent condition, said Mr. Kuth, with every Indication of a splendid crop, which could only be marred by a long drouth within the next three or four weeks. Wheat and oats are in good condition, but corn is suffering some for lack of warm days and nights. Although the corn is onlr three and four inches high in most places in the county, and has stood at that height for about two weeks, Mr. Kuth says the grain has been forming an elaborate root system which will enable it to grow faster when warm days come. A few hot days, he said, would send the stalks shooting upward like magic.
