Blackburn were sent to the homo. This time two separate fires were found burning. Four grass fires, unusual for this time of year, were extinguished yesterday by firemen at 2213 Bedford Terrace, 1849 Madison Road, the rear of 4520 Eastern Avenue, and 1204 Rockwood Drive.

The election of William McMillan was by popular acclaim.

No one else was even considered, for, al though William McMillan was not one of the original founders, he was the most influential and probably the commandant. The next day, Mr. McMillan received an abusive letter from that officer, requiring him to desist from further proceeding, and threatening him with punishment if he did not. A spirited reply was returned to the latter, denying the right of the commandant to interfere, and setting him at defiance. The military pride of the subaltern was wounded by the rebuke, and he sent from the garrison the next day a sergeant with a file of three men to arrest McMillan.

It is proper here to observe that at that time Mr. McMillan was young, athletic, in high health and possessed of unusual strength and activity. The first intimation he had of the movement against him, was from the sergeant, at the door of his cabin, which was taken possession of by the guard. A short parley ensued, in which McMillan declared his determination not to be taken alive, and forbade the guard to enter his cabin. After a short pause, however, they rushed in, when a most furious conflict ensued.

The sergeant, who entered first, received a blow, which brought him to the floor. At the same instant, the men seized McMillan, who by a prodigious effort of strength, rescued himself from their grasp, giving one of them a blow which disabled him. Mr. McMillan informed me that the conflict lasted 15 or 20 minutes, when the parties became entirely exhausted, and the guard retired. the most able man in the town.

He was born in Virginia in 1760, the second of nine children. His father was a Scotch Presbyterian minister. In 1775 McMillan was in william McMillan. As has been stated in other articles, the Ordinance of the Northwest Territory provided that a legislative council be set up to administer the laws of the territory. Accordingly the first Legislative Council of the Northwest Territory met in Marietta during the summer and fall of 1788.

The council consisted of Governor St. Clair, Secretary Winthrop Sargent, and Judges Parsons, Varnum, "and (Symmes was not present at most of these meetings). Ten acts were passed (Symmes's signature is affixed to only one of them), the first being the Militia Act. While there is no public record of any acts of the council during 1789, it met every year (until Ohio was admitted as, a state) at different county seats throughout the territory and enacted laws. In 1795, as will be stated in another article, the laws were revised and William and Mary College, where he stood first in his class in the exact sciences and higher philso-phy.

He was graduated while the revolution was in progress, but did not take part in the actual fighting. Between 1776 and 1787 he was studying and working on a farm. His father wanted him to study for the ministry, "but he refused. A Liberal-sized boxes of candy, Cincinnati made, were sent yesterday to Mrs. Franklin D.

This plot of ground, on the northest corner of Thiid and Walnut Streets, was considered of little value at first and was sold for taxes. Later, it was redeemed and a Masonic Temple was erected there. Thus we get a short sketch of the early law courts in Cincinnati in which William McMillan took such a prominent part.

Firemen were summoned twice yesterday to a basement nt inns printed in Cincinnati and became known as the Maxwell Code. Now, among the first acts of the Legislative Council (8-23, 1788) was one which established General Courts of Quarter Sessions and Common Pleas and provided for the appointments of officers. But, beset by important Indian negotiations and sundry other details, it was January, 1790, before Governor St.

Clair reached the settlement of Losantiville to carry out the provisions of this law. And, therefore, throughout the entire year of 1789 law and order in Losantiville was forced to shift for itself, and there grew up what Judge Burnet called a sort of lynch law. Because of the definite need for laws of some sort, the settlers met and elected William McMillan as Chairman of a committee to form a code of by-laws, fixing the punishments to be meted out for of- the statutes said: "Please don't do it." The law of August 1. 1792, provided that all counties set up courthouses, county jails, pillories, whipping posts, and stocks. Cincinnati's first jail was on Water Street, of Main, and was built in 1793.

4t was only a log cabin a story-and-a-half high and 16 feet square. The jailor, Levi McLean, became drunk at regular intervals and would beat the prisoners, mostly debtors, for pastime. In 1799, McMillan was elected to the territorial Legislature of Ohio and after the resignation of General Harrison was chosen territorial delegate to Congress, but declined reelection. In 1801, he was commissioned District Attorney of Ohio, but had scarcely entered into his duties when declining health forced him to resign. He died at the early age of 44.

He had married but was childless. In his will, McMillan 'made a posthumous endowment of Lot No. 135 to the Nova Caesarea Har Publication today of the second novel by Albert I. Mayer, young Cincinnati author, is announced by Harper and Brothers, New York publishers. Mayer is author of the series, "How Cincinnati Was Founded," appearing in The Enquirer.

His first novel was the popular boys' book, "Defense of The Castle." His new one is "Olympiad," a story of fifth century Greece and the early Olympic games, in which he uses new material from the excavations of Cur-tius and Adler. It is illustrated by Cleveland Woodward, a former Cincinnatian. Mayer now is writing still another book, this one on early Cincinnati. Watt did. This ended the argument and his father never referred to the subject again.

About the time of the argument McMillan was one of the many who were thrilled by Symmes's Trenton Prospectus and other literature circulated about the great opportunities in the newly created Northwest Territory. He decided to take up his lot in the Miami settlements and arrived with the first settlers. He purchased a farm, and although he was under 30, he immediately became a leader in the community. As Judge under the Lynch code, McMillan was soon to discover that his life was not to be an easy one, for with Fort Washington being erected and the military authorities assuming that they controlled things, there was ample room for heated arguments. The first case moved swiftly enough and without "interference.

A Patrick Grimes was arrested for stealing cucumbers, and Judge McMillan immediately summoned a jury. He was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to 29 lashes on his naked back that same afternoon. According to Judge Burnet: "In a few weeks, another complaint was made and an order issued to arrest the person accused. The accused immediately fled to the garrison and claimed protection of State Avenue to extinguish fires Duilt by children. There was no damage.

In early January, 1790, Governor St. Clair arrived at Losantiville and after changing the name of the settlement to Cincinnati, proceeded to establish the county of Hamilton, and antagonism between the settlers and the garrison eased down.

On the fifth of January, in accordance with the act of August 23, 1788, Governor St. Clair established county courts and appointed Wil and tie AUTOMO BILE OD and AD were machinists many years ago.

When his second car was finished, it had cost him almost as much as the first. He showed it to as many people as he could see and after a long time sold it for just about what it had cost him. In the next five years OD built several more automobiles, but always by the time his cars were finished AD was making better cars for lower, prices.

AD decided that if he could make cars by the hundreds, he could lower the cost and add still more improvements. So he appointed agents and advertised in other cities. In this wav he was able to tell the story of his car to thousands and thousands of people neither he nor his agents had ever seen. The more agents he appointed, and the more he advertised, the more people came in to try his car, and the more cars he sold.

THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER'S AD now realized that there were millions of people who would buy his automobiles if the prices were only lower. He also knew that if he could build hundreds of thousands of cars a year, he could make them better and at less cost.

So he enlarged his factory, employed more men, and advertised to millions of people all over the country. By 1921, he was making a fine-looking car with a six-cylinder motor and a self-starter. And the price had been reduced to 21,000. AD's profit per car was now very small. But he sold so many cars that his business was successful.

And, as prices became lower and lower, millions of people who had never dreamed they could afford automobiles were able to own and enjoy them. By 1938, ADwasmakingthe best and finest looking car he had ever built and the price was only $750.

Who would have believed that in 30 years almost every family would have an automobile!" AD said, "It never would have been possible without advertising. All the advances in manufacturing would have been futile without advertising to tell the story. As it helped us to sell more and more cars, we were able to make them still better and sell them at lower prices. As a result, the advantages of an automobile are now (Car print tivtm tbnt fur 111, 1921, tni 13 trt enjoyed by people of small means just as they are by the well-to-do."
