Defendant's Counter=- Claim Amounts to $421.50 | More Than Plaintiff Gets. | -- | Judgment for the plaintiff of { $1,281 and costs, and judgment for { the defendant of $1,702.50 on the | counter-claim and costs of counter- | claim were given by Justice Logie in | the McNicholas-Eves case which was | heard at the opening session on Wed- | nesday' afternoon of the non-jury | Supreme Court here One judgment | is to be set off against the other and | the balance paid. In this case John McNicholas, a farmer living near Godfrey, was su- {ing Joseph Eves, administrator of | the estate of his brother, the late ' Mark Eves, of this city, for the keep | of the deceased's horses and cows for | several years and for board, lodging, {laundry and mending supplied the | deceased on visits to the plaintiff, | whose wife was a sister of the de- ! ceased. There was also a claim for $150 for cash advanced, bringing the total to $2,712.50. His Lordship al- | lowed for the keep of the horses and | cows but disallowed the remainder. | Cunningham and Smith represent- ed the plaintiff, Nickle and Farrell | the defendant. The plaintiff, the first witness, de- { scribed to Mr. Cunningham how his {claim against the Eves' estate of over $2,700 was made up. For sev- | eral years, beginning in November, | 1918, he had kept four horses and a | colt belonging to Mark Eves. For | these he was charging $50 each for { wintering and $3 per month, or $12 each, for the summer. He had work- | ed none but the colt, which he broke |in at Mark Eves' instruction, as he | had half a dozen horses of his own. | For two years he had also kept cows | for which he was charging $25 each | tor a year, One year he got no re- sults from them. He was also put- ting in a bill for $213, being a charge of $1 each for trips which he had made on Eves' behalf from four miles. There was also a bill for board when Mr. Eves visited him, six meals each time at 26 cents each, and for the room he slept in. The witness said he had been sued by his mother for her keep, under the Parent's Maintenance Act and to protect himself had given Eves a chattel mortgage for $1,600, the judgment in the action having gone against him to the extent of $100 a year. His mother was 75. Eves had said that his property was to go by his will to the plaintiff's daughter, Eileen, Three farmers of the county, J. Daley, of Bedford, Arthur Kenyon, of Godfrey, and John Challes, of Hinchinbroke, who were called by Mr. Cunningham, sald fair charges for keeping cows and horses ranged from $30 to $60 a year for a cow and $100 a year for a horse. Joseph Kvés, the defendant, said Mark Eves' estate totalled about $3,- 000. Mark did not visit the plain- tiff more than eight or nine times in 1922, There were no more visits after Christmas, 1922. | John Conway, an employee of the plaintiff in 1921, said he worked Eves' horses at plowing while there. Fred Whitney, a horse dealer, said Eves' horses showed signs of having been worked when they were brought back from the _ plaintiff's farm last fall. RICH, PURE BLOOD Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make Rich Blood and Restore Health. Thin, pale people lack the power of resistance to disease that rich, red blood gives.

Verdict Was Given in Case of Wil- liam Keeley at Wolfe Island. Wolfe Island, June 5.--"Acciden- tal drowning" was the verdict given by the jury empanelled to enquire into the death of William Keeley, who was drowned while crossing from Cape Vincent to Wolfe Island in a motor boat on May 27th. Coro- ner Dr. D. Phelan conducted the in- quest. Messrs. Donald McRae and John D. Grant gave evidence. They were with deceased at the time of the fatality and their evidence gave the impression that the deceased had been standing up in the boat and missed his footing and fell into the water.

The huge fish, which weighed 187 pounds, and measured seven feet, six { inches in length and had a girth of | two feet, eleven and a quarter inches, became entangled in the nets and 'fore the fishermen pulled in the day's catch. Gault, in describing the landing of the big fish, declared that it showed more fight than any with which he ever has come in contact. He and his brother wrapped the net about the sturgeon when it became appar- ent it was too large to drive into the traps and finally succeeded in pulling it over the side of the fishing boat after a long fight. Anglers say it is the longest fish ever caught off this point, Some years ago a sturgeon which weighed a few pounds more was caught, but the fish landed by Gault measured several more inches in length. It was placed on exhibition and scores of amateur photographers took snapshots of it. The value of the sturgeon is plac- ed at about $100. . Sturgeon at the present time is selling at fifty-five cents a pound on the New York market, I ---------------------- URGE COUNTY T0 PAY BILL (Continued from page 1). two miles of provincial highway in | the county which had to be paid for { both by the province and the coun- ty. He made reference to tourist traf- fic in the northern part of the county, and speaking to Councillor Drew reminded-him that in Cali- fornia there was more money ob- tained from the tourist traffic than from the orange crop. The deputy said that to his mind the highway game is the most im- portant problem in the province and Hon. George Henry, minister of high- ways, has the biggest job to do in the province. He urged upon the members of council the necessity of getting behind him and making his load easier to carry. He stated that during the past seven years 144 millions of dollars had been spent in highway construc- tion and this all had to be paid. He also reminded his hearers that the county of Frontenac had been dealt with very generously and he urged them not to step aside from their obligation but to pay thelr part of the great expenditure. In closing he sald that in Phe | county there was $673,000 invested in the county road system in Fron- tenac and he urged the councillors to protect their investment by keeping the roads in good state of repair. Hon. G. 8S. Henry, _ Hon. George Henry spoke of the County unit of road building as the proper one. He also told of some changes in the road system which will Hkely be introduced in the near future. The commission, which was appointed by the government at the last session, will visit all parts of the province and make a very careful survey of the way the road work is being carried on and then many changes will likely be adopted. He told the council that there was a bill of $32,000 against the northern townships, not included in the good road system and he had not power to vary the bill and it had to be paid. He said that he would sug- gest a survey fo the grants so as to townships. He gave the reeves of the back townships the assurance that the government would give them some relief. The minister of highways took occasion to speaking of the excellent manner in which Dr. William Spankie had presented the case of the island township, and said' he thought the island should be in the good roads system and he was will- ing that it should come in, and the portion of the cost of . the . ferry should be paid the same as maintain- ing a good road. | He told the council that since 1918, $1,176,000 had been spent on provincial highways in the county of Frontenac, and hé thought that this was a very large sum with a county assessment of six" millions. It was more than the amount spent in his own county. He said that there was to be no work done in Frontenac this year. The bill must be paid and the statutes require it and it could be paid by the end of the year. This would mean that it would not have to be included in this year's tax rate. Mr. Henry closed by stating that if the council gave the assur- ance that the bill would be paid, he would give every assurance that grants for the back townships would be more equitable.
