Robt. A. Critchfield, brakeman on
the night shifter at Rockwood has
been taken to the Johnstown Memori-
al hospital as a result of having been
thrown recently from a box car at
Wilsoncreek Junction.
Among the decisions announced
last week by the Superior Court, was
in the case of J. C. Lowry vs. Austin
Yutzy, which has been reversed and
sent back for re-trial. Lowry secured
a verdict for $780, which he claimed
as a commission on the sale of a farm.
Work on the new passenger depot
at Windber was started last week.
The new structure will cost approxi-
mately $40,000 and will be very at-
tractive. The work is in charge of the
Pennsylvania Lumber and Construc-
tion Company of South Fork. The
freight depot was gompleisd ' two
weeks ago.
Judge Ruppel has issued a manda-
mus to compel the County Commis-
sioners to pay the bill of Alexander
King for his services as auditor
of Public Accounts, amounting to
$175, under the Act of 1913, fixing the
compensation of the auditor at $5 per
day, while the old act of 1846 pre-
scribed $1.50 per day.
Somerset County Game and Fish
Protective Association has decided to
disband. The association ceased to ex-
ist with the passage of the following
resolution: ‘“Resolved, That the Som-
erset County Game and Fish Protec-
tive Association, cease to exist and
that such members who wish affiliate
themselves with the Wild Life
League of League of America.”
It appeared from the trials against
beer agents, in court last week, that
the three licensed breweries in this
county have formel an organization,
and that each corporation has depos-
ited $200 in a fund from which detect-
ives were employed to secure evid-
ence against the agents of outside
competitors. The breweries also have
a working agreement which embraces
a division of the territory in which
each may sell to individuals.
Judge Ruppel filed decrees last
week granting absolute divorce to
Laura Bowlin, wife of John Bowlin,
who had been married at Somerset in
1886 and to Ella Sabin, wife of Archie
Sabin. Both divorces were granted be-
cause of the desertion of the respond-
ents. The latter couple was miarried
by ’Squire Babcock of Ogle Town-
ship and in all these years the hus-
band had contributed only ten dollars
to the support of his wife and their
child. >
Attorney John S. Miller has enter-
ed a claim and instituted suit against
Joseph B. Musser of Berlin, repre-
senting Wm. Millhouse in a demand |
for $388.52, which the plaintiff alleg-
es is due him for wages. Musser con-
ducts a blacksmith shop at Berlin,
and Millhouse worked for him from
July 1913 until October 1915. The
claimant alleges that they had enter-
ed into an oral agreement and that in
accordance therewith he kept a strict
account of the number of hours he
worked, totaling 5821-2 days, for
which he demands $2.50 per day. He
says that Musser paid him $1067.73.
Mr. and Mrs. John P. Jacobson c
Windber were notified recently of the
death of their son, Arthur J. L. Ja-
cobson, who, according to informa-
tion received, committed suicide at
Philadelphia. The young man was a
graduate of the Windber High School
and had been a student of medicine in
the Jefferson Medical College, Phila.
since the fall of 1914. He was about
20 years of age.
Suit was filed last week in behalf
of Francesco Camiliti, a victim of
the disaster at Orenda No. 2 mine,
Boswell, - Aug. 31, 1915. He demands
$20,000 for permanent injuries. Cam-
iliti had one eye destroyed and was
otherwise permanently injured. He
supports his wife several chi:dren
and his aged father. Attorney J. W.
Henderson, connected with the Ital-
ian consul at Phila. is fighting the
case.
Judge Ruppel has granted a writ
of mandamus upon the board of coun-
ty commissioners to compel the pay-
ment of $165 to Alexander King his
fees due him for his work as auditor.
King was appointed to audit the fees
of the former prothonotary, register
of wills and recorder of deeds. An act
of assembly provides that half of ev-
erything above $2,00 received by them
shall be paid over to the county. The
officers were later surchanged and
entered an appeal The auditor pre-
sented his bill to the commissioners
after having the court’s approval but
the commissioners refused to pay out |i
the money.
