TIN, AGED 80, DELIVERS MILK EARLY AND LATE

MODOC, Ind.. Feb. 28. The most familiar figure and old eat man in this .little village Is the Rev. Joshua Mattox, who is 80 years old, and claims to feel as young as a boy of 16 years. Rev. Mr. Mattox has with his good wife resided here for many years. His younger days were spent in preaching the gospel from the U. B. pulpit in diftcrcnt parts of the state, and he i3 now class leader in the church of which he is a member. Rev. Mattox always works when the weather wiU permit and he is seen early and late delivering milk to his many customers with a pleasant smile and a "howdy do" to every one he meets. Old and young respect and honor this good old man. Ills age is probably due to the life he has always lived. At Movies Tonight z LYRIC. The Universal stands pre-eminent as a producer of wild animal thrillers with a punch. . In "A Recoiling Vengeance," at the Lyric tonight, this is exemplified in a convincing manner. A woman spy and adventuress, planning the death of a young couple, meets her own nemesis and is pushed ,.to death by a slave whom she has punished. Just as the tigers are about to . spring upon the young couple whose peril she has skillfully contrived, her ' mangled body falls among1 them and the tigers complete the grim work of destruction. THREE COMPANIES Continued From Page One -Jhlans and that their plans would not ebe given consideration, j. Attorney Keller, representing Mr. Mueller, asked Peacock if he was not aware of I ho fact that Mueller has now suit pending iu supremo court brought against him by the Luten Interests because he has refused to use pho Luten patents, which Mueller al,;egoB are unsatisfactory and is a "holdp" of the county using the plans, if. "What do you think about the Luten r-pntonts," asked Mr. Reller. "They are good for small bridges. jVspeciiilly when a comparatively inex?lf'i'bncd contractor is working on 5.1 ho bridge," replied Mr. Peacock, r Are Counties Soaked? "Haven I. you found that counties huv.! been literally 'soaked' when theyj ;i!f-:e the Luten patents." asked Roller.- ; - "I don't know anything about that," I ,aid the witn:- f;, ; -J 4 ."Haunt Mueller u suit pending in ysuprin court now on this very question." asked Mr. Roller. i "Lee mentioned it," replied Peacock. f One of the major complaints brought by Peacock against the work of Bridge Kngineer Mueller that so few bridge Si on tractors have submitted bids on D'hins and specifications as made by Mueller. ; Attorney Reller asked Mr. Peacock to review the bridges that "were built in Wayne -while he was bridge engineer. In the cross-examination he admitted that three of the bridge plans received bids from only two contractors and the other plans bid on by throe contractors. In two of the bridges the Luten patents were specified and in the third the plans had to be changed because they did not fit the conditions. "What bridges did you make plans for?" asked Mr. Roller. "The Sycamore bridge, the Wasson Ford bridge, the Fountain City culvert and the Wernle Home bridge." replied Peacock. Atks About Specifications. "What did the specifications call fori in the Sycamore and tho Wernle Home bridges?" asked Mr. Mueller. "The reinforcement made by the Luton interests was specified in both bridges," replied the witness. "What changes had to be made in the Wasson Ford bridge?" asked Roller. "I flon't know," replied Peacock. When the question of the bridge at ClUhoin whs brought, up, Mr. Reller risked, "Didn't you know that Mueller h;id nothing to do with that bridge?" At this point Attorney .lessup. rep resenting Peacock, stated an objection ie having the witness answer the Ques tion on the grounds that the Ablngton bridge question had merely been brought up on tho statement of Sher?n:in 1 1 a 1 c and that Peacock did nor assume to Know any more about it, but. ns merei.v giving ino noarn nenrsay ;as he had boon requested to do. i Asks Hearinn's Purnose.

Q Who else made complaints with you about not. being able to get work in Wayne county. A No other firms with the exception of the Indianapolis people and D. L. Davis, of Klkhart. Mr. Peacock testified that Davis' bid on tne temporary Main street bridge wa over $3,000 higher than the bid of I. K. Smith of Richmond, although Davis was bidding on his own plans. Peacock said, however that Davis's porary bridge, the Burke company, of New Castle, Yagger & Co., Indianapolis, D. 1j. Davis of Elkhart, and I. E. Smith of Richmond. "The general complaint regarding the Main street bridge was that it did not go deep enough with the piling," said Peacock. Peacock Reads Telegram. Mr. Peacock then read a telegram he had received from Davis the morning of the bearing in which the contractor

advised him not to appear before thejarrhea, sore throat, full of cold, give!

In the discussion regarding the Locke bridge, Mr. Reller told the commissioners that the bridge was placed at its present position above the protest of Mueller and that the trouble there arose over a personal dispute between Mueller and Locke because Mueller w-ould not allow Locke pay for more gravel than had been placed in the fill according to measurements. The troirble over the Armantrout bridge was also explained by Reller in that the bridge, he said, was located over and above the protest of Mueller. The Nettle Creek dredge and bridge question for which Mueller had been blamed was explained by Reller, through the cross examination of Peacock, in the statement that the dredge had been ordered after the bridge plans were made and that the sand Your Sick Child Is Constipated!
