Holdridge in which he makes the startling al­ legation that under threat of talcing his life he was intimidated into sign­ ing two notes, in all amounting to $1,540. * Judson and Holdridge were partners in the mercantile business at Ru­ dolph and finally dissolved their bus­ iness relations, Holdridge taking over the interest of Judson, giving Judson,. so the plaintiff claims, his note for $800 in payment for his interests ill the business. Judson claims that while the note was made payable to him it was de­ posited in the Rudolph bank by H^d- ridge, and thus he was deprived of its use. Judson claims that on January 29, 1906, hfe was invited to the home of Holdridge for the alleged purpose of signing some receipts, and that while there under threat of taking his life he was compelled to sign a note for $840 to offse’t the note he held against Holdridge and another note for $700, which amount Holdridge claimed was due him for goods stol­ en from the store by Judson, his wife apd # sister-in-law. Judspn was later sued by the Ru­ dolph bank bn the $700 note, which he was compelled to pay. He now seeks to attach any property which Holdridge may have at Rudolph, and has garnisheed any money which Holdridge may have in the Rudolph bank. It is claimed that Holdridge has disposed of the store to Napoleon parties and left town. The allega­ tions ^et up by Judson have caused a great sensation at Rudolph. Mr. Holdridge has filed his answer, in which he claims that Judson ad­ mitted appropriating money and goods belonging to the partnership, and that he freely gave the notes in question, and that upon Judson re­ turning to him his note* for $800 that he returned to Judson his note for $840. That the entire transaction on the part of Judson was done freely and voluntarily. X X X LICENSES. Thomas Armstrong, 28, oil worker, Portage, and Orpha Hill, 20, Liberty township.

The court house was practically de­ serted Tuesday and Wednesday, the county officials having gone to the Republican congressional convention to pull the wires for E. G. McClel­ land. Receiver iAddison Mercer has wound up the affairs of the Wood County Co-operative company which conducted a store at Portage. The court allowed him $80 for his ser­ vices, D. R. Jones was allowed $65 attorney fees, A. M. Abbott, master commissioner, was given $15, and the court costs amounted to $13.84. At a joint meeting of the commis­ sioners of Wood and Ottawa coun­ ties on the Muntler ditch matter, the petition asking that the summit in Packer creek be torn out was dis­ missed. Just what will now be done by the petitioners remains to be -seen. Before leaving for Newark Mon­ day, J. W. Hassenfratz, former as­ sistant surveyor, stated that he re­ signed because Surveyor Spafford in­ sisted on his giving him a “rake-off” of one dollar per day on his salary.

The bonds on each ditch are placed in a sealed envelope and filed with the original papers for handy reference. Augusta B. Bolan has filed suit against George C. Diehl for $611.12, which she claims is still due her as her share of ^he* Henry Diehl estate. The Standard Stock Food Co. has filed an amended petition against F. S.

An ordinance to that effect was7 introduced at Monday evening's session of the city council. The Renewal a Strain. Vacation is over. Again the school bell rings at morning and at noon, again with tens of thousands the hardest kind of work has begun, the renewal of which is a mental and physical strain to all except the most rugged. The little girl that a few days ago had roses in her cheeks, and the litle boy whose lips were then so red you would have insisted that they had been “kissed by straw­ berries,” have already lost something of the appearance of health. Now is a time when many children should be given a tonic, which may avert much serious trouble and we know of no other so highly to be recommended' as Hood’s Sarsaparilla which strength­ ens the nerves perfects digestion and assimilation and aids mental develop­ ment by building up the whole sys­ tem.
