1 TAKE CASE FROM PREBLE COUNTY TO COURT OF APPEALS

EATON. 0-. Dec. 16. Bill of excepHons, original papers, transcript docket and Journal entries, along with exhibits, were filed today with the court ": of appeals, now sitting in Dayton, in the case of R. E. Estls and William ' Mills, who in October were convicted ; of stealing an automobile by a Jurj in common pleas court. The papers

y and records in the case were filed with the court of appeals by Attorney Har- . ry Risinger, of Eaton, and Attorney . B. H. Tivenen, of Mattoon. 111., counsel for Estls and Mills. After their conviction, motion for a new trial was filed and argued and retrial of the case was refused by Judge G. W. Mannix, of Greenville, the trial judge. : Appeal was then taken to the higher court on error, following which Estls was released under $2,500 bond and Mills was given temporary liberty under $2,000, pending action -of the court, of appeals upon the case. Both men were sentenced after being declared guilty, a sentence of from one to seven years In the penitentiary being imposed upon Estis, while Mills was sentenced to from one to seven yearsin the state reformatory. Estis and Mills were convicted of stealing an automobile from S.-C. Richie, banker, of New Paris, in January, 1919. They were indicted the following May, after which their trial was postponed six or eight times. Richie's car was recovered in Indianapolis a few days after it was stolen and Estis and Mills had it in. their possession at the time and they were arrested. Estis claims Mattoon, 111., as his home, while Mills claims St. James, Mo., as his home. Sues for $25,000 Lurton E. . Bishop, farmer, a few

days ago was acquitted of a charge of petit larceny by a Jury in common

pleas court and now he has filed suit in common pleas court against Richard White, farmer, for $25,000 damages, alleging false arrest and proeecueion. ' Bishop also seeks an extra $100, which he claims he paid an attorney for defending the charge against him. Bishop avers White caused his arrest and subsequent indictment for

stealing a hog. all of which injured his J

reputation and credit to the extent ot the amount sued for. Attorneys Harry Risinger and Harry King prepared and filed Bishop's petition for him. Seek $1,050 Damages. An automobile belonging to Hiram Jaskulek and Julius Fryer, of Camden, tobacco warehouse operators, was struck and wrecked on a crossing by a Pennsylvania train a few months ago and as a result they have entered suit for $1,050 damages against the com- , pany in common pleas court. They aver the car was driven by an agent of theirs and that the alleged fact that the train did not sound a warning signal as it approached the crossing was responsible for the accident. This, they aver, constitutes carelessness and negligence upon the part of the,coro"pany's employes. H. R. Gilmore is attorney for the plaintiffs.

ada, and affects some American interests, including the Sinclair syndicate which bad obtained certain oil rights under the Tinoco administration. The British government filed a strong protest with the government of Costa Rica, refusing to abide by the law. - To which Costa Rica replied that it would not allow a foreign power to interfere with its Internal legislation. Great Britain, ' then sent its minister from Panama to Costa Rica, personally, to settle the dispute. An a rnnnomionPA thA (VmIa. Rtrjin
