A car driven by Mr. Wetzel struck Mrs. Fessenden early on the morning of Sept. 24, 1952 as the woman was crossing East Second St. from her home. An employe of the Coudersport Laundry at the time, Mrs. Fessenden was on the way to work.
Mr. Wetzel and Roger Butz, of Ulysses, passenger in the Wetzel car, both testified that the driver made a futile effort to avoid hitting the woman, who suffered an ankle injury. Mrs. Fessenden was threatened (Continued on Page ?)

Plaintiffs Win Total of $28,000 In Actions Arising From Accidents Ulysses Man Arrested In Slashing As Sigh Fletcher, of Ulysses, tells it, he was only defending himself when he slashed Lester Short, of Elkland, with a razor blade which he just "happened to have along" when the two men left a car and brawled around near an Elkland cemetery. Arrested by State police of the Coudersport sub-station, Fletcher was jailed in Wellsboro awaiting court action on an aggravated assault and battery and assault with intent to maim charges. He is being held in property bond by Justice of the Peace James Kizer, of Elkland. Recovering from cuts including a three-inch gash above the kidney, Short was treated twice on the day of the incident by an Elkland physician, Dr. Harry Williams. A dispute over route directions reportedly led to the argument. The two men and two minors were returning home from a round of festivities at a restaurant-bar.
Fletcher reportedly first pulled a hunting knife from the glove compartment and tried to stab Short while the car was in motion. When that didn't work out, he got his little razor blade -which he said he carried to trim calluses on his feet!
Leaving the car, the men rolled around in a field adjacent to Highland Cemetery. It was there that Fletcher allegedly got in his licks with th "bunion peeler."
The cutting came to the attention of police when Elkland officer Whitehill learned that Short was being treated by Dr. Williams. Fletcher's arrest followed.

A disputed tract of land totalling 100 acres was awarded to Buell Leache, of Rome, N. Y. by a jury Monday. The land had been acquired at a tax sale by Raymond Lamphier, of Westfield, in November, 1951 for $37.85.
At the expiration of two years, failure of the owner to pay the back taxes, plus interest and costs, would have given title to the land by Mr. Lamphier. As a result of what was as a clerical omission in the county treasurer's office, Mr. Lamphier was led to believe that the became his property on Nov. 1953.
However, it was brought out that taxes had been paid on the property by Mrs. Stanley C. Welfling, wife of the county treasurer. [It's a procedure not without precedent and perfectly proper. Ed.] But apparently, no record of the transaction was made.
Mr. Lamphier sued to take title to the tract as direct result.
A civil suit against a Potter County potato grower, Edward P. Gagnon, brought by the General Bag Corporation, was withdrawn. The bag company and spud grower came to legal blows over a shipment of textile bags purchased by the defendant.
A Suit against Robert Froebel, of Coudersport, brought by James Berry, of Rochester, NY, was put over to May term of court by agreement of both sides. A car driven by Froebel struck and seriously injured injured the Rochester man on Route 6 east of here about three miles. The latter was standing near his stalled car when the eastbound Froebel auto plowed into him, knocking Mr. Berry into a roadside field.

Body of Missing Hickox Man is Found in River Near His Home
The body of a Hickox man missing since Dec. 28 was discovered about 4:00 p. m. Thursday in the Genesee River, less than a mile from his home.
Arthur Ransom, 78-year-old partial cripple, apparently was a drowning victim. The full clothed body, | in remarkably good state of preservation, was discovered along the river bank at the rear of the home of Donald Worden, employe of a Wellsville factory. It was Mr. Worden who saw the body of the man lying in the water.
Break-up of ice in the river led to the discovery. Mr. Worden had gone to the rear of his yard to check on a jam at a fork in the stream which he had noted the day before. The body of Mr. Ransom was lying close to a three-inch thick sheet of ice swept against the bank. The water in the stream was higher than usual because of snowmelt and thawing ice.
Coroner Earl A. Brown issued a certificate of death from drowning. State police, who were summoned by Mr. Worden, saw nothing untoward in the death of' Mr. Ransom who was last seen by the woman he lived with between 11:00 and 12:00 midnight on December 27.
Scores of Genesee and Hickox men and boys searched the river for days in the belief Mr. Ransom may have stumbled into the water and drowned shortly after leaving his home. Firemen of Genesee led about 85 searchers working under the direction of Frank Hurd, a deputy sheriff, on the final day of the organized hunt.
Belief was expressed that the body had been concealed by the ice covering the stream until the break-up the road leading to a bridge over the Genesee near Mr. Ransom's home was ice covered and difficult to negotiate in a car. Their story heightened the belief held from the beginning that the aged man might have slipped and tumbled down the bank into the water.
Nothing New to Deputy After 45 Years
Tragedy in the Genesee area is nothing new to Deputy Sheriff Frank Hurd. In the 45 years he has served as deputy, he has had a hand in the investigation of 22 or 23 deaths attributable to mishap or self-destruction, he said Thursday. "I have seen a lot of this sort of' thing around here in my time," said Mr. Hurd, now retired from gainful employment. "You get used to it after a while."
According to Mrs. Ransom, who is said to be a blood relative of' the drown man, her husband crept out of the house as she slept in a chair. Apparently, there had been a quarrel and Mrs. Ransom was reported as saying that when "he is found he'll have a black eye and a cut on his knee." Examination of the body disclosed an injury of the right eye but no marks on either knee.
A wallet found in Mr. Ransom's hip pocket contained $8.00 in bills and 63c in change. A safety razor was found in another pocket. Coroner Earl A. Brown ruled out an autopsy after two pathologists said Under direct examination,...
