FOR CITY ELECTIONS
HAS MONTHLY MEET
Nominations for ci y officials for
the coming term will be made at the
caucus to be held tonight at the city
hall.
It is expected that there will be
at least two nominations for mayor
as both J. Merrel Smith and S. A.
Moulton have expressed a willingness
to fill the office if the public wishes
ami bo h have hearty supporters.
Each has served a successful term
as mayor and a close race is looked
for.
In connection with the office of city
treasurer both Harry Thomas and TV.
Thomas Coates are being mentioned.
It is stated that ill health prevents
John Mathers, presen', treasurer from
considering the office for another
term. Mr. Coates is being strongly
supported by the ex-service men as
he saw considerable active service
during the World War.
The ticket for city council that is
most generally talked of includes
three members of the present council,
Frank Conover, Frank Merrick and
Charles Pankow, and Lloyd Edwards
and Emil Heusser. G. A. Reeher is
also frequently mentioned as a pros­
pect.

Accident Case is Decided
Favor of Plaintiff, Edward
J. West
in
Circuit court concluded Friday
afternoon for the October term.' The
case of W. Sedore vs. L. C. Muscott,
which occupied the greater part of
Friday, aroused a great deal of pub­
lic interest, particularly among th«
residents of tne soutn part of tne
county where the altercation took
place.
Sedore brought suit for damages
against Muscott following a flBt fight
in which Sedore claimed to have re-
ceived two broken ribs and other in-
juries. The jury brought in a verdict
for the defendant.
Charles Cruthers, arraigned for the
unlawful possession of mash plead
guilty and was fined $1000 and sen­
tenced to spend one year in the coun­
ty jail. On payment of $500 he was
released-during good behavior, The
case against Ivan Langley, who was
jointly indicted with Cruthers, was
dismissed.
The charge against Sife Johnley
and Delbert Jarman the two who
robbed the fair building of prize ex­
hibits, was changed from larceny of
a public building to simple larceny to
which they plead guilty. A sentence
of one year in jail was passed upon
them. They were paroled on this sen­
tence on the payment of $100 for the
costs of the action against them and
$100 to the county fair board for
damages.
Robert Schneiter indicted on
charges of unlawful operation of an
automobile and failure to render aid
or assistance to an injured person
was given until November 5, to plead.
Schneiter, it will be remembered, ran
over Claude Morse on the highway
south of town last May, injuring him
so badly that his life was despaired
of for some time. The case was tried
before the justice court at that time
and a settlement was reached between
Schneiter and Morse hut Schneiter
failed to comply with the agreement.
Edward J. West was given the ver­
dict in a case against the State In­
dustrial Accident commision. West
was injured while working at the
Whitney camp in June of 1923 and
received compensation from the com­
mission until September of that year.
The jury recommended that he be
given full compensation from Septem­
ber 4, 1923 to July 1, 1924 and 50 per
cent, disability from then till October
9, 1924 and until disability ceases.
Rudolph Zweifel was given a judg­
ment of $166.15 and costs against E.
A. Ball.
Olga Myers was given a divorce
from Richard E. Myers.
Leia A. lx-ach was granted a di­
vorce from Henry Leach on grounds
of cruel and inhuman treatment.
These parties were married on Feb­
ruary 9, 1921. Plaintiff was awa d-
ed her maiden name of Leia A. Heck­
er. This divorce was one of the rapid
fire variety, the decreee being grant­
ed the same day as the complaint was
filed.
