Bruck of Kendallville, was denied a liquor license by the commissioners of Noble county because the printer made an error in publishing the notice. Intead of the letter “J" the letter “P” was used, and the county dads held that the notice was insufficient. Bruck wanted to run a bar in the Kelly House at Kendallville and is very much disappointed at the turn of affairs. The task of equipping railroads with rolling stock Is nearly as perplexing as that of increasing mileage. The car factories of the country are swamped with work. Railroads are forced to be content with small installments on orders placed over a year ago. The current increase of business more than offset the slight relief afforded by new equipment, and the congestion that began last summer is stili unrelieved. This appears to be true of both east and westbound freight. The demand of the west for manufactured goods and general supplies seems to be as hard to handle a the big output of farm products moving eastward. The Hon. William Fruchtenicht, who served in the last legislature as representative from Allen county with honor, has opened his law office at No. 131 East Berry street, on the second floor of the Tri-State block, occupying the rooms formerly held by the late Colonel Robertson.

Mr. Fruechtenicht is a painstaking, upright, progresive young man and he is bound to win favor.— Journal-Gazette.

GILLESPIE IS FREE Released to-day on Order of Supreme Court RECALLS A FAMOUS MURDER Man Whose Guilt Was Clearly Shown is Given Liberty on a Technicality. Indianapolis, April 4- —James Gillespie, who was found guilty some time ago of murdering his sifter Elizabeth at Rising Sun, and who since that time has been confined in the Indiana State prison, was released from custody by an order of the Supreme court today, without bail and it is ordered that no further prosecution of him shall follow. Gillespie is discharged on the grounds that at a mistrial in Switzerland county he was placed In jeopardy once and that he could not be so placed a second time, whicn was in reality done and which second trial resulted in sending him to the state’s prison for life. His release created a sensation, as the Gillespie murder had aroused the entire state at the time it was committed. Elizabeth was shot down in her own home and suspicion at Rising Sun at once was attached to her brother John with whom she had not been on speaking terms for years. o Dr .Smith of Hoagland, was a business caller to our city today.

While it is claimed that the fruit crop has been irreparably damaged, there are others who are making the assertion that the- reports are exaggerated and point to the fact that the bud were not advanced far enough to have been seriously hurt. General reports received by the United States weather bureau indicate that although there was a hard freeze in central and southern Indiana Sunday night, that no great damage has been done fruit. It is stated that ow» ing to the lack of moisture the buds being only partially opened, the damage will be slight. The deal for the purchase of forty acres of land of the Schwartz farm, south of the city by F. C. Dailey, attorney for some corporation, the nature of which he is not at liberty to state, was not closed yesterday, as was his intention.

Hale & Markley are acting for Mr. Schwartz and yesterday Mr. Markley and Mr. Dailey drove to the land with the intention of coming to terms. The price offered is >2OO per acre and has been accepted.

An error was made in our columns yesterday in stating that Chronister made a motion to pass the resolution hiring C. W. Dorwin over the mayor’s veto. The name of Christen should have been used instead. The green bug is cutting some figure at the present time in the price of wheat. Some of the farmers in this county discovered a green bug which resembles the bug often seen on fruit trees or rose bushes, at the roots of the wheat last fall, and the same bug is doing busines all over the country where winter wheat is grown. The bug eats off the roots of the plant? and thus destroys them. The bugs and the frost together have about used up the crop on many farms and as a result the price is beginning to raise. The weather will have to be very favorable if anything near a halt crop is gathered in this county. The phonographs or “spielers” so generally in use by the moving picture shows are not viewed everywhere with the same tolerance that they are in this city. The council of Logansport last Monday night passed an ordinance under which the playing of phonographs in front of theatres or in the entrance of theatres, in public stores, or from the windows or doorways of private residences is prohib ited and made punishable by a fine of from $5 to $25. The theatrical managers who have phonographs in front of their vaudeville houses, declare that they will not obey the ordinance and that they have been advised that it is in conflict with both the statutes and constitution of the state. It will probably be found that a phonograph is no greater nuisance than a brass band.
