Immediately after the Daily Banner reached its subscribers, Tuesday evening, loud yelps were heard from the canine readers, because, they said, they were slandered by the statement that "about a thousand dogs of Greencastle township” had paid taxes of only $695. The Greencastle township dogs are wealthier than that, they claim, the $695 taxes coming, as a matter of fact, they aver, from only about 350 of their number. We stand corrected.

FOUND FOR DEFENDANT The trial of the damage suit brought by Leon J. Cooper, of Terre Haute, a contractor, against Eli Aker, of Putnam county, which was. tried before a jury in the Hendricks Circuit court, resulted in a Verdict by the jury in favor of the defendant. The plaintiff. Leon J. Cooper, now a contractor, is a former resident of Greencastle, having been employed at one time in the Shipley jewelry store. Cooper had the contract for the building of three bridges on the National road, as a part of the reconstruction of that thoroughfare, and was struck by a truck driven by Aker, receiving several injuries, including the loss of an eye. He sued for $15,000, but received nothing, on the grounds of contributory negligence. The fact that Cooper was insured in a casualty company also figured in the verdict, it is said. The defendant was represented by M. J. Murphy of this city, and the plaintiff by Indianapolis and Terre Haute attorneys. SMITH ON TRIAL

(C'onlluaed From Pile* Oort Smith’s interests were looked after

by John H. Janies.

Smith, when on the witness stand, disclaimed any connection wiht the fire, and denied, that he had been in the east part of town. However, the court, after the witnesses had heard the evidence, stated there was no doubt in the court’s mind that Smith had ben in the part of town alleged, and that he had started the fire which damaged the apartment house. Accordingly, the court found him guilty and sentenced him to the Indiana state prison for a term of two to fourteen years, on the charge of arson. Smith, after he was sentenced, stepped up to the judge’s desk and asked time to get word from his son at Cleveland, Tenn., in regard to getting an attorney to represent him in the matter, a statement which was interesting in view of the fact that he had just been represented in the hearing by an attorney. Smith appeared to be mentally dull and also to be threatened with tuberculosis. He will fare better in prison than in the hobo camps in which he has been living. DIVORCE PETTION TERSE
