One of Oldest Cases
One of the oldest and most involved
cases on the Superior Court. docket is
being heard before State Referee Joel
Reed at the County Court house. The
case is that of Joseph A. Gray. et. at.
against Timothy Davenport. adminis-
trator of the estate of Sarah L. Dav-
enport. who died at W'ilton on March
29. 1921. '
According to Attorney Gpldner. the
history of the present case began in
1915 when Sarah L. Davenport was
about to lose 140 acres of land in Wil-
ton. and when Attorney Gray acted as
her counsel in an attempt to recover
the land. Attorney Goldner claims
that nearly all these legal sefivfces
were rendered on a. “no win no pay"
basis. whilg Attorney Joseph A. Gray
asks for approximately $2.860.

its official bow to the country today

to hear: the statement of policy fram—
leagues in the Cabinet recently form-

Bonds and Currency Taken
from Truck at Elkhart
ELKHART. Ind. Jan. 19.——-Bonds,
currency and securities believed to to-
tal nearly 3500.000 were stolen from a
mail truck at the New York Central
Railroad station here yesterday. The
valuables were in a registered pouch.
Latena package containing part of
the stolen bonds and securities was
found at the Elkhart Post Office ad—
dressed to the Postmaster with this
note attached: “Mr. Post Master—
Here's your bonds." It was signed
“Hommy O'Connor." It is believed
the bandits intended to throw officers
off the scent by signing O'Connor’s
name. «The bonds returned were non-
negotiable.
The mail pouch. which contained
two smaller pouches of registered
mail. was to be sent on a. train leaving
Elkhart for Grand Rapids at 6 a. m.
A trail was picked up through the
yards which indicated that the bag
had been dragged to a point on a
street about a block away. where it is
believed the bandits escaped in an
automobile. .
One of the small sacks inside of the
pouch had been sent from New York
city and was transferred at Elkhart.
The other was made up on the train.
which arrived in Chicago at 1 o'clock
