The farm home of Henry Clay, northeast of New Maysville, was destroyed by fire Monday morninfr starting, it is believed, from the fire that was used to prepare breakfast. The flame was first noticed in the attic and burned downward slowly, it being a two-story house, giving time for the family and neighbors to salvage everything removable in it. The

work was carried on so skillfully that the breakfast table with the tableware and edibles on it. was carried out with cveiything intact, and a kitchen cabinet which had a basket of eggs on its top was also taken to the yard with no loss of dishes or eggs. The furniture was all saved. l.KOKl.K T. DntHAM DIES At Crawfordsville, on Feb. 27. occurred the death of George T. Dur-

All-Time Midi In Auto Deaths

Discovery that a 17-year-old girl, Lucille Turner, had held a threehour tryst with Dayton Doan.

A private shower, radio, library and other conveniences had been extended Dean who was sentenced to life imprisonment.

CHICAGO, March 1 —- Deaths in automobile accidents reached an alltime high of 3.050 for January in the United States this year, the National Safety Council reported yesterday. Favorable driving weather and "carelessness among city motorists’’ were blamed by the council for what it described as a "grisly start at the job of clicking off automobile traffic accident deaths." The total for the month was 20 per cent above the 2.550 deaths in Janu- j ary. 1936, and exceeded by 200 deaths the previous high established in Jonuary of 1934. "Unusually high death increases” were icported in the nation's cities, and compared with the last January figure, this year’s total was up 32 per

:ent.

The advance for the country’s thirteen cities of more than 500.000 population was 26 per cent. In this Troup only tnree cities, Boston. San Francisco and Chicago reported decreases. The St. Louis anti Milwaukee totals were the same as in January of last year. New York City had seventy-three traffic deaths compared with fortythree in January, 1936. but the council reported that "in spite of the relatively bad record,” the nation's j chief city was tied with Boston for the "best” death rate among the large cities. Boston and New York each had a rate of 12.2 per 100.000 of' population. A jump of 45 per cent was recorded for cities between 250.000 and 500,000 population; 58 per cent for cities between 100.000 and 250,000, and 9 per cent for cities between 35,000 and 50.000. The rate in cities between 50.000 and 100 000 icmained unchanged. Among the states which reported I increases were "many of the larger' dies suen as California. Illinois, Maryland. Massachusetts. New Jersey. Pennsylvania anil New York ’’ Fight states reported decreases. Nevada began the new year with 100 per cent reduction, reporting no ieaths as against two in January of 19.16 The South Dakota figur> was 1 ut 10 per cent; Wash ngton 31 per •ent; Kansas, 29 p'-r cent; Rhode Island, 14 per cent; Indiana an I Iowa 13 per cent each and Arizona, 9 per

cent.

•MINNESOTA. NORTH DAKOTA TANGLED B! ‘'SPITE" DITCH V/AHPFTO:-, N. D.. (UP) ■ BcI ( .•nme of a bit of spite war. nearly 80 years ago. a part of the state of North Dakota became a part of Minnesota. And due to the confused situution, owners of a tract of Minne- , ioIo. land for years have paid their j tuxes on the property to North Da- | koto. The mix-up came about back in 1860 shortly after ol I Fort Abercro; ibio was moved from Its original

site near here to a new location. As old-timers recall it. a troop of soldiers visited the fort at its new site. There were a number of Indians present, some of whom apparently bootlegged whisky. At any rate, the soldiers became intoxicated and quarreled with the half-breeds, who routed them after several heads had been broken. In retaliation, the soldiers armed themselves with spades and shovels and dug a ditch diverting the river from its regular channel to the low area on which the fort originally

stood.

The stream rushed through the ditch and meandered through the low lands. The channel has remained virtually unchanged since that date. As a result, a part of North Dakota was placed on the Minnesota side of the river. And since the boundary between the two states is the center of the Rod River channel, the land cut off is legally a part of Minnesota. The confused situation was disclosed by army engineers, who conducted a survey in connection with a Red River valley water conservatior. project.

LADIES AID HOLDS FOX HI NT Rl T ITS HI NTERS WHO ARE OUT-FOXED SHADEVILLE, O.. (UP) - This tiny community of 150 residents is peaceful again after a controversy over the annual fox hunt of the Ladies Aid Society threatened to divide the hamlet. The aid society, composed of Methodist church women, out-foxed the hunters, and therein lies the story. Hostilities started when the ladies announced that this year the fox would be hunted down and killed with clubs. That was too much for the Columbus Humane Society. The society decided the slaughter by the club constituted cruelty to animals. The humane society declared it would send observers to watch the whole affair and would stand ready to take legal action. So the situation was tense just before the hunt. Dr. Ira Jones—he’s the local superintendent of the Shadeville M. E. church district announced that the hunt was not a church enterprise. But then Howard German, foxhunt chairman, admitted that right on the poster announcing the hunt in said: "Sponsored by the Ladies Aid of the Shadeville M. E. church." The day of the hunt, about a thousand men asembled. armed with clubs. They thought they would be

the hunters who would kill the fox. Actually it turned out they acted as beaters to drive the quarry toward a nearby river, where were stationed a dozen men. with shotguns. The ladies admitted later their strategy. It seemed that last year some 25 foxes swam the river and ! escaped. The Ladies Aid was determined nothing like that would happ .n this year. They obtained expert gunmen to guard the river—and then t they hatched the club-killing story so as to procure plenty of man-power I lo scare up the foxes. Members of the Ladies Aid chuck- , led and admitted the plot. What | would they do for beaters next year, with this year’s crop irate over the j ruse? Oh. they’d cross that bridge when they came to it. SURVEYORS’ EXPENSES PAID One bill in the Indiana legislature which passed the house Saturday
