CIRCUIT COURT STILL ON THE LORD WILL CASE

MRS. COMMONS, HEIR OF MRS. EMMA LORD, ASKS ACCOUNTING BY THE ADMINISTRATOR.

CHARGES EXCESSIVE

Logansport Law Firm In Big Will Suit Seeking To Show That Their Claims Are Not Exorbitant.

As was stated before, the time of the Circuit Court since last Wednesday has been taken up with the case of the estate of Mrs. Emma Lord. Briefly stated the case is this: Mrs. Lord died a few years ago, leaving an estate of some $9000 to her daughter, but the where abouts of the daughter were unknown. It seems that Mrs. Lord had been married to a man named J. W. Brewer, and had a daughter. At the time of her marriage to Capt. Lord, who run a steamer on Maxinkuckee lake for years, and afterward committed suicide by drowning, Mrs. Brewer did not let Mr. Lord know that she had ever been married and had a daughter. To attorney John C. Capron, of Ft. Wayne, is due the credit of finding the daughter. It seems that in the effects of Mrs. Lord was a tintype picture of the daughter, taken before she separated from her first husband, and in some way it was discovered that a Mrs. Commons of Muncie had a duplicate of this picture. She knew nothing of her mother, and her mother never gave any intimation of knowledge of the girl. But the likeness was so striking and the evidence brought out so

decided in her favor. Now it seems that the Administrator of the estate, Mr. Shugrue, has paid certain claims of attorney fees and other matters that the heir deems are excessive, and suit is now brought to restrain him from allowing these claims, and for an accounting. The case is being fought over earnestly, with John C. Capron and E. C. Martindale for Mrs. Commons, Hess & Hess of Plymouth and McConnell, Jenkins & Stewart, of Logansport, and S. N. Stevens for the administrator. The trial is before the judge, and will likely take some time this week. The evidence is all in, and the arguing will come next. The Mrs. Mary A. Shirley, will case that was to come up Monday morning is postponed, as Mrs. Bussard is reported as being sick with typhoid fever, and the case may not come up this term of court. The jury that was called for this morning, will not come till Thursday. New cases hr.ve been filed as follows: First State Bank of Bourbon, vs. Omar Swoverland and Peter Swoverland, on note. Elsie G. Caslow vs. Albert B. Caslow, divorce and change of name.

Thomas Grocery Sold. The Milner Thomas grocery store corner Laporte and Center streets, is now being invoiced, it having been sold to Harrison & Grant of Argos.

Without opiates or harmful drugs of any kind Foley's Honey and Tar Compound stops coughs and cures colds. Do not accept any substitute.

A l ilia J. E; Bergman Tailor shop on Michigan street is a machine, the like of which never was seen in Plymouth before. It is a Hoffman Steam Presser. The board on which the garment to be pressed is placed is heated to the required temperature. Then the iron that comes down to do the pressing, besides being heated by a gas jet, is so made as to receive by the manipulation of a lever, a rush of live steam between the blankets which moistens the goods evenly, just as the pressure is given. Bv the old hand method, the dampening was done with a sponge, and was of course uneven. This steam moistening " arrangement not only dampes the entire surface evenly, but it is hot, and livens up the goods. Besides if there should be any germs in new or, old cloth, they stand a poor show with this live steam forced through and through the goods. Again, another point is the even pressure. By the use of an iron in the old way the weight of the iron was only a few pound?, and the pressure depended largely on the amount of muscle the operator had. At the best, it is plain to be seen that this could bring only an uneven pressure. This new machine brings to bear and desired amount up to 300 pounds, and with the even and sanitary moistening, and the uniform pressure, together with the large saving in time, makes this a most desirable addition to this already modem equipped 'taifyr shop. Mr. Bergman has so increased his business that he was forced to move part of his working force up stairs. This new presser will enable one man to do as much pressing as six could do in a day, and do it far better. Mr. Bergman is to be congratulated in his progressive move, and what helps him to do more and better work is a step in advance for Plymouth, and therefore a boost.

P. H. S. vs. BREMEN.

Local Team Wins By Score of 37 to 24, After One of the Fastest Games Seen Here.

The P. H. S. basket ball team defeated the Bremen boys by a score of 37 to -4 in the game played Wednesday evening. It was one of the fastest games ever played in this city. The home team have begun to work together and show a vast improvement over the way they played at Bremen two weeks ago. Every fellow on the team played his hardest, determined to make up for the games they have last. v , The contest was clean from beginning to end and as the two sides were about evenly matched, it proved highly exciting throughout. Principal C. A. Weiler of Bremen acted as referee the first half, while Principal Homer W. Dutter took his place during the las.t The score at the end of tho first half was 15 to 16, in favor of Bremen. Both teams entered upon the second half with renewed energy for

i they clearly saw that it was to be

a hard struggle for tho&3 who won. But for some reason the visitors lost out badly, making but 8 to Plymouth's 22 points in. this half. The floor of the Armory, which is rather slippery, bothered them all through the game as they are used to playing on a rough floor at home. The lineup was as follows: Plymouth Position Bremen Bowell Center Place Overmyer R. forward Wine

Lowenstein There was a good crowd at the game, over $25 being taken in. Bremen had about twenty five good rooters, among them being Supt. of Schools Wimmer, and Prof. E. L. Riordan. The next game, on schedule for P. H. S. is with Rochester, who will be here on Friday, the 15th. Rochester High school has a championship team and it will hustle us to beat them. However, if the boys put up a game such as they played Wednesday night we may be pretty sure of victory. The deciding contest with Bremen, will in all probability be left until sometime in January. Mentone High school has" 'asked for a chance at us and their offer will probably be accepted. If so, this game will take place in the near future.

DESERTS FAMILY.

Contractor Claude Ritter, Having Lost On Work, Leaves City and Whereabouts Is Unknown.

Claude Ritter has left for parts unknown. He has been doing contract work here the past year, having the Welcome Miller house on north Michigan street, and the David Furry house on south Michigan street among his jobs. He made some mistakes in his estimates, and did not make what he hoped to do by these contracts, and instead of facing hard luck like a man, has chosen to run away, deserting his family. He left his wife,. and one child about four years old, and another baby came to them Thanksgiving evening, some few days after the father had gone. The family is in destitute circumstances, and an effort is being made to locate Mr. Ritter, as the law is severe on a man who thus deserts his wife and dependent children.

CATCHING FOXES.

Inwood Men Successful In Getting Five and a Curious Animal Which No One Is Able To Name.

'Ed Burden and John Reed have become famous in the vicinity of Inwood as fox hunters. Last week they caught four of the sly fellows by running them to their holes and digging them out. On Saturday they shot another animal, different from a fox, and which no one seems able to name. It is larger than a fox, has grey coarse hair and a bushy tail. The nose is sharp. Some think it is a coyote. This animal they started i na field and although it ran faster than anything they eAer saw, one of them shot it.

Commissioners' Court. The County Commissioners are in regular session Monday, engag d with the usual routine of business. The only thing unusual was the appeal of a representative of the Plymouth and South Bend proposed interurban. He asked for a renewal of the franchise which has expired, and the commissioners refused flatly to grant another extension. As there are judgments for several thousand dollars . already standing against the promoters of this road, it is likely that this ends the farce as far as they are concerned.

J. C. Myers of Bloomsdale, Mich., is here on account 'of the severe illness of his wife's father, George Gurthett, living southwest of Plymouth.
