  Headline: Appeals Court Reverses Order in Estate Case
  Text: The appellate court today rendered judgment for the plaintiff in the case of Robert H. McCleary, administrator of the estate of David Norman, against Elizabeth Talmadge and Frank B. Austin. This was an action to set aside a deed from David Norman to Elizabeth Talmadge on grounds of undue influence. The case was originally heard by Judge W.N. Crow in common pleas court and was decided in favor of the defendants. The action of the appellate court, however, reverses the common please court, and restores the property to the estate for the benefit of the heirs.

  Headline: A Greed for Gold - Consigns Bright and Beautiful Boys to the County Alms House.
  Mr. Archibald Burrell is a well-known farmer in Bethlehem township. He owns a good farm, is well provided with personal property, pays taxes upon $7,980, and is estimated by good judges to be worth at least $12,000 to $13,000. Yet this man, surrounded by all the necessities and many of the luxuries of life, last week permitted two of his grand-children, bright, beautiful and intelligent little boys, aged 5 and 6 respectively, to become inmates of the County Infirmary. They are the children of his daughter, who is the wife of Mr. Ben Talmadge. Young Talmadge and his wife separated some time since, and she and her children became inmates of her father's house. At the last meeting of the commissioners Mr. Burrell asked the Board to allow him $200 per year for the maintenance of the children. The Board offered him $132, and he thereupon brought them to Coshocton and turned them over to the tender mercies of the Infirmary Directors. They were taken to the County Infirmary, and the first of April will be sent to the Children's Home in Tuscarawas County. [3 paragraphs omitted which start with: Oh the cruel heartlessness; the cold and unfeeling greed for gold, ... article resumes with] If Mr. Burrell does not provide a home for the children, then let the other grandfather, Mr Talmadge, do so, for he pays taxes upon $8,490, is judged to be worth a least $15,000, and is abundantly able to provide for the little ones who are of his blood.
