Valley News BOROUGH WINS STREET RENTAL State Supreme Court Decides in Favor of Mechanicsburg in Valley Railways Suit Mechanicsburg, Pa., June 24. After years of contention between the borough of Mechanicsburg and the Valley Railways Company, with a law suit of long standing, a de cision was reached by the Supreme Court, the highest judicial body in the State of Pennsylvania, in favor of the former. This is, in effect, that the borough is sustained in the ordnance, asking the rental of sl,- 200 per annum for the use of the streets. The trolley line resisted the pay ment of this amount and the mat ter went through the courts. The lower court. Judge Gillan sitting, de cided unreservedly in favor of the borough, whereupon the Valley Company appealed to the Superior Court. The Superior Court, Justice Porter, affirmed the decision of the lower court, declaring that the question at issue was the borough's constitutional right to make and enforce a contract, which neither the Legislature'nor the courts had the power to nullify. This decision was appealed by the trolley company to the Cumberland County Court, Judge McPherson, of Adams county, presiding, who dismissed the case and sustained the borough. The decision of the Supreme Court gives the borough the right to charge $1,200. During the years the matter was in the court, the amount due the borough has accumulated, until at the present time the sum is in the neighborhood of $12,000.

EARIVY WHEAT HARVEST Waynesboro, Pa., Juno 24.—The wheat harvest is about ready for the sickle in this region, some of it entirely so and a few began to-day; the harvest will be in full swing all along the line by the middle of the week. The grain stands up finely and the crop looks to be a bumper one. A seeming paradox is that the wheat harvest in this region will pre cede the hay making. The grass was held up by the cold season In April and but little of it has come to ma turity. so that the wheat can be cut and housed before any considerable portion of the hay crop is ready to be harvested. , JUMPS FROM BRIDGE Hagarstown, Md., June 24.—John Ardinger, agd 35, leaped from the top of the bridge across the Poto mac river at Williamsport yester day afternoon In an attempt to end his life and was probably fatally in jured.

MRS.GERHOLD TRIES SUICIDE Woman Was Acquitted of Murder of Floyd Keller, Her First Husband Chambersburg, Pa., June 24.—Al though she contends that she wanted to end her life, Mrs. Zelda Keller Gerhold probably saved it by looking into a mirror to direct the aim of her revolver.' Angered because she believ ed her husband unfaithful to her, she went to an upstairs room of her home in Mercersburg, near here, and pointed the pistol at her heart. How ever, hy looking into the mirror she misjudged the angle of the pistol anil instead of entering hor bodv, tne bullet passed under her left breast causing only a painful flesh wound and some powder burns. Mrs. Gerhold first entered the limelight in Franklin county when she was prosecuted for, and acquit ted of the murder of her first hus band, Floyd Keller, whom she was alleged to have poisoned. Recently she brought suit against her second husband, Louis Gerhold, for desertion and nonsupport. After she entered the suit, her husband re turned to live with her, but she told friends who found her after the shooting that he had remained away from home a couple nights last week and it was because of that that she decided to end he." life.
