A feature of the evening was the huge birthday cake presented in honor of the
occasion and a beautiful spoon from the scholars of the class was given to Miss

Verdict for Defendant
The first three days this week were busy ones in Justice
C.W.W. Dow's court. Mrs. Clara F. Moore, was plaintiff in a suit against Eli S.
Ogg, alleging unlawful retention of property, the property in question being a
farm about three miles north of the city on the diagonal road. The case was

Wednesday night the jury brought in a verdict for the defendant.
Babe Near Drowning
Doris, the three-year-old daughter of Walter Payne, came very

Dow. The accident happened under peculiar circumstances. The little one had been
playing about the premises and in some manner succeeded in raising the cellar
door, and apparently lost its balance and fell headlong into the cellar, which
contained about two feet of water. Fortunately, Mrs. Payne heard the splash and
went to the rescue. The tot was revived and is none the worse for her impromptu
bath.
