SUIT IS SETTLED After several years of neighbor hood bickering among the residents of Sauvles island and litigation that has now reached the state supreme court,, the "Gardner farm" road la to be built along the east aide of the Island. The county commissioners have so decided and an order was drawn this morning by Deputy Dis trict Attorney Sam Pierce which provides that the commissioners, be cause of the urgent need of the road, direct Ccunty Clerk Beveridge to pay to the appellants in the dam age suits the ' .11 damages that may be decided, upon by the supreme court. The highway was first petitioned for by J. L. Reeder and other land owners on the Island four years ago. They asked that the road be extended to a point, beyond the farm of E. B. Gardner, following the hjgh land of the second bench. Immediately there was objection from Gardner and other property own ers, who sued fair damages. The Jury at the trial decided that the only recom pense on the part of the county would be for It to rebuild the fences of the plaintiffs along the proposed road. This verdict 'was set aside. Then followed a trial in which awards for damages were: E. B. Gardner, $1706; J. S. Crumbley, $389; J. N. T. Mclntlre. $2482.70; Kitty T. Hutchinson. $457 ; Mary Crumbley, $165. They appealed to the supreme court, and the case Is still pending ; but the agreement reached by the county commissioners opens the way for the construction of the road and gtves assurance of the land owners eventually receiving from the county such amounts as the supreme court may decide as proper and Just. " In connection with the difficulties over the Sauvies island road there has been much neighborhood trouble over a bridge which Reeder built across Dairy creek after the county had been en joined from so doing, and over which It is said he allowed only limited pass age. Opponents of Reeder claimed that the bridge obstructs navigable waters, and a hearing on this matter is set for November 10 before Colonel Park, United States engineer. brought la 'a verdict of guilty In the case of the state " against Voncenxio Mattio. " Mattio was charged with having robbed the safe In the general store pf Joe Lemma at Linnton and was arrested by Frank Beatty. detective, while he had marked money in his hands that he had Just taken from the safe.. His de fense was that be was told by Lemma to go to the safe and take money to repay funds loaned to Lemma. Mattio will be sentenced Friday morn ing. He had filed a suit against Beatty, Lemma and others for $20,000 for al leged false arrest. MEXICANS SEEK MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO V. S. RULES Ynes Hernandes Randall and Francis V.

Sith and Stark, HOME STATE BOWS N HOMAGE TO COX (Continued Pram Pact On.) the covenant of the league internation ally precisely what the Monroe doctrine is on this continent? What is behind the Monroe doctrine except our moral force? Have we ever had to fire a shot in 100 years to maintain it?" DENIES POST'S STATESK5T Governor Cox, In a statement here to day, again attacked the Saturday Eve ning Tost for becoming "partisan four days before election" by the publication of a cartoop attacking his candidacy. He charged that the Curtis Publishing company had been found guilty of unfair trade practices by the federal govern ment and that it "and every unfair business in America desired a return to normal in the hope that it can get more than a square deal." T "Every unfair business lij Amenca is against me because I don't stand for a return to the old or&er under which the strong prospered at the expense of the weak and under which biff business trrew bigger while small businesses were forced out of existence." Cox said. REPLIES TO LO RIMER The governor's statement was in re ply to one by George H. Lorimer, ed itor of the Saturday Evening Post, made after Cox first attack on the publica tion. Cox said In part : -"When, early in the week. I called attention to the guerilla tactics of the Saturday Evening Post on the basis of its last minute attack on me, the response or Mr. Jonmer. Its editor, was that my action was unethical. Since Mr. Lorimer has seen fit to reply simply In a way that raises the question of ethics, I would like to di rect to him the plain question : Is his interest in this election which brings the unusual act of partisan support from his party based upon the desire for a re turn to "normalcy' under which his pub lication sought to prosper by unfair methods? Is it because the Curtis Pub lishing company was found guilty of the use or unfair and illegal methods of competition and of violation of the anti-trust law prohibiting use of certain tying end' contracts and of violation of the federal trade commission ruling? The complaint In each case was based upon the fact that the Curtis Publishing company made contracts with wholesale distributors which prevented them from handling other publications without per mission from the Curtis Publishing com pany and which prohibited the sale Of all competing publications.
