Attorney Cook, oF Xenia,' repre­ sented Timmons while Squire Brad­ ford appeared for the corporation Considerable time was occupied in arguing Cook’s motion to set the. case aside but the Mayor overruled the motion. Mr. Cook-then'moved that the plaintiif.net- be allowed to ' offer any evidence on the bill of particulars and lie was again set hack by the Mayor overruling his motion. Only ono witness was examined and that was for the corporation, and tile defence and plaintiff decided to submit the caser^Mayor McFarlnm' then rendered judgment in favor of the. plaintiff and the sum of $6,05 was held against Timmons. .

Tuesday morning, Thompson Jones, a farm hand employed by Mf« Alexander Turnbull, was injured by the falling of a heavy iron screen usee to separate the rock as it falls from the stone ’ crueller... The screen quite heavy and fell some little dis­ tance before, it hit Mr. Jones, who was directly under it scraping up some crushed rock. As there is al ways considerable noise about this part of the plant, Mr. Jones could not make any one hear and come to his assistance. He 'finally mai to free himself before help arrived. He was a t onco taken to 'the' office of Dr. E . V, Oglesbcc who examined him closely as to his injuries and dressed his wounds. His right ear was cut in two, and there was a gash on the let’- side of his face which re juired several stitches. On the left side of his head was u good size bruise and a flesh wound on the left shoul­ der. Mr, Jones was fortunate iu bo­ ng injured no worse than lie Mae. The crusher was not in operation a t the time of the accident and it is not mown what caused the screen to fail. Kaper Wade is certainly entitled to the championship for potato raising.

From ihe number of requests that have been received a t this office in re­ gard to the coming of “Ben H u r” to Cincinnati, one is forced to believe that there will bo a good size delega­ tion go from this place. Numerous requests haveBeen received here in regard to-the railroad rate, price of admission, .exact dates, and when seats go on sale. As there lias been no railroad rate announced officially, Agent Keyes informs us that .there will probably be a rouud trip for one and one third farea.and possibly a one fare for the round trip oil certain days duriug the Fall Festival which is to be held Sept, 15 to 27, As for prices of admission, and date when seats go on sale, we have not yet learned,..but these will be.givcn out in plenty of time. One can rest assured that the price of admission will be far above the average for it is the opening of new Grand Opera House which is one of the finest in the coun­ try, and then the “Ben Hur” com­ pany is .one o f 350 people, Cincin­ nati is one of the eight cities that is to be visited this, year.
