THE MANSFIELD NEWS, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1911. FOUR LITIGATION IN THE COURTS H. C. HEDGES BEGINS AN INJUNCTION PROCEEDING AGAINST THE MEDINA GAS FUEL CO. ALLEGES UNLAWFUL TRESPASS Upon His Land for the Purpose of Laying a Gas Main Across the Property--Alleged That Drainage Was Destroyed and Other Damages Inflicted--Sale of Personal Property in Probate--Appointment of Guardian--Cross Petition.

Verdict in Common Pleas. Henry C. Hedges, by Lucretia Z. Hedges has begun an injunction proceeding in common pleas court against the Medina Gas Fuel company. The plaintiff alleges that he is the owner of premises in Madison township lying immediately south of the Wooster road and east of the Rockyfork of the Mohican and the grounds of the sewage disposal works of the city of Mansfield.

The defendant is a corporation engaged in the sale of natural gas and is now laying a pipe line for the conveyance of gas through the township of Madison in Richland county. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant wrongfully and without permission entered upon the premises of plaintiff and dug a ditch or trench diagonally across the land described. Also that it dug up and destroyed a large amount of corn planted therein. Further the company dug up, broke, mislayed and otherwise interfered with a large number of tile drains rendering the same useless and they are now threatening to lay down a large pipe across the premises in the ditch and the laying of the pipes will completely destroy the usefuluess of the tile and render the drainage system heretofore put in at great expense, useless. The plaintiff says that these acts committed by the defendant are a great irreparable and continuing injury to plaintiff's land and cannot be measured by damages.

Wherefore the plaintiff prays that the defendant and the agents may be temporarily restrained from laying the pipes and doing any work in or about the laying of the pipes upon the land described and upon final hearing that the temporary injunetion 1 may be made permanent and for such other relief as he was be entitled to. Judge Mansfield allowed the temporary restraining order prayed for and the bond was fixed at $100. Charles W. Chew is the attorney for the plaintiff. SALE OF PERSONALTY.

ed, One Saves Himself. Mike Mayer, a contractor, who is making an excavation along the B. 4 0. on the Perk avenue west road, had two Beagle hounds killed by trains Friday afternoon and a third one was saved by its intelligence. Mike seems to he very partial to dogs, especially Beagle hounds and always has them with him.

Friday afternoon one of the hounds followed a workman after water. They were returning along the B. O. railroad track and the dog got in front of a passenger train which made short work of him. Now comes the remarkable part of the story.

The other two dogs, attracted to the spot where the catastrophe occurred, were demonstrating their grief over the death of their fellow canine, when another passenger train which was following the frst, caught the two mourning pups. One tried to make his getaway but was ground up into tamale filling by the wheels. The third dog, more intelligent than his companions, did not lose his head, neither figuratively nor literally. Because he was able to retain his self possession, this dog is left to tell the tale. When the intelligent little hound saw there was not time enough to get out of the way of the engine, he lay down between the rails where he hugged the ties until the train passed over him.

While his companion was giving his death yelps as the wheels ground him up, Beagle hound No. 3 held onto the ties. After the train had passed, this remarkably intelligent canine got up and looked sorrowfully at the mangled bodies of his two companions as much to say, "Why didn't you do as I did?" LOCAL BREVITY. Crooked Trail of Booze-A stranger in the city, evidently just come off some of the neighboring deserts, attracted a large following on North Main street Friday night. The convivial visitor left a trail, but not of blood, as he passed along the street.

As witnesses report it, the stranger had a goodly supply of wet goods, both inside and out. What he could not drink he was carrying in a suit case and a telescope. In front of the Knox store the telescope sprung a leak and today there is a very crooked trail of booze down the sidewalk on North Main street. A crowd followed the wobbly visitor down the street to Fourth, where he hired two little boys to carry his unruly suit case and telescope which had given him much trouble by getting mixed up with his legs. When last seen he was still going north.

'That Yankee Dodge. The description of the first operation under ether in Europe as given by Dr. F. William Cook in the University College Hospital Magazine is reproduced in the London on Lancet, and the scene is referred to as the "most dramatic ever enneted in which medical men grouped the stage." The tion was performed by Robert Liston on Dec. 21.

1846. "At 2:15 Liston enters, that magni8cent figure of a man six feet two height, and says, 'We are going to try a Yankee dodge today, gentlemen, for making men Liston introduced ether to a London hospital." The subject was a man, thity-six years old, whose thigh was amputated. The operation was successful, and Liston uttered the epilogue, "This Yankee dodge, gentlemen, beats mesmerism holler." Marvels of India. What a wonderful country 1s India! There is only one India. Its marvels are its own.

There is the plague, the black death. India invented It. The car of Juggernaut was also India's invention. So was the suttee, and within the time of men still living 800 widows willingly and, in fact rejoicingly burned themselves to death on the bodies of their dead husbands in a single year. And 800 would do it this year if the British government would let them.

Mrs. M. P. Curry, P. O.

Box 615, Petersburg, writes: "I have been troubled with internal catarrh since my girlhood, and was sick in bed for three months. I had pains all through me. When I was able to get up I was so weak and thin that I could hardly walk. What I ate disagreed with me. bad stomach and liver trouble, and my feet and limbs were swollen so I could scarcely drag around.

"I I took Peruna and it has done wonders for me. My cure was a surprise to my friends, for they never expected to see me well again. I just took two bottles of Peruna after doctoring for five months and growing worse all the time." MEASURING THE EARTH. Erastesthenes Made the First Attempt and Did Fairly Well. The earliest attempt to measure the circumference of the earth was made by a Greek, Eratosthenes, who was born 276 B.

C. He found that at Syene the gnomon, or upright pillar, used by the Greeks to measure the height of the sun in the sky, showed the sun to be exactly overhead at midday at the time of the summer solstice, while at Alexandria the gnomon cast a shadow upon a the same date, showing that the latter point was one-fiftieth of the earth's circumference north of Syene. Eratosthenes reasoned correctly that the length of the shadow at Alexandria bore the same relation to the circumference of the small circle described from the top of the gnomon as a center that the distance between the two cities bore to the circumference of the globe. This latter was 5,000 stadia, or about 625 miles, which when multiplied by fifty gives 31,250 miles as the circumference of the earth. This result is not quite correct, but as nearly so as could be expected from the first rough attempt to estimate it.

-New York Mail. Mexico's Way With Women. Woman's place in Mexican life is the inevitable mingling of the Moorish ideas of the Spanish conquerors and the savage ideas of the natives, the Milwaukee Sentinel says. The Castiltan hides his wife and daughters bebind stone walls and the picturesque lattices of romance, and he is their lord and master. On the other band, the Indian tribes are, of course, still bound by the spirit of the ancient savage customs.

Historians tell of one of the baptismal ceremonies of the Meshde tribes, who fought their way to supremacy long before the Spanish arrived on the scene. To each boy baby the priests chanted this command: "Thy profession and faculty is war, thy obligation to give the sun to drink blood of the enemies and the earth corpses of the foes." To the girl baby they said with far less ceremonial: "You are to stay within the bouse, as the heart does within the body. Our Lord enshrines you in that place, and your office is to fetch and to grind maize in the metate." I have robbed myself oftener than others have robhed me. Going Away?
