THERE WITH THE GOODS That Decatur is about three boots ahead of any other progressive town, is evidenced by the location of another mammoth manufacturing industry. Their location was agreed to and a contract made at a time when other towns were sitting on the lid of their exchequer, and were forbidding what few manufacturers they had from operating their plants to their capacity. It certainly shows a stability of the right sort when new industries can be located and the old ones operated to the limit at such times as this. The progressive spirit that is abroad in Decatur is entitled to hearty congratulation for the broad-minded business enterprise that is apparently working at all times and under all circumstances. The Ward Fence company is already a business institution of considerable magnitude and importance. Their future is more than promising. Their business is growing at a pace that kills, and a few years hence will see them at the front in the manufacture of ornamental wire and iron fencing and barb wire. They are comers and Decatur is fortunate in securing such an industry, and also in adding to our citizenship such a galaxy of business men as are now seeking homes here. We welcome them and at the same time wish them business success and social happiness. As a further evidence of Decatur’s growth, we note the arrival of another newspaper —The Times. May it live long, prosper and grow as rich as J. Pierpont Morgan, or any other railroad magnate. Decatur is nothing if not hospitab e. so we extend the glad hand. This is one time of year when every

FOUR MEN TEAMS Schafer Made the High Average and Also Highest Single Score. The Jay Birds, one of the strongest bowling aggregations in the state, played a series of games last evening against a picked team from this city at the Klondyke alleys and as a result were forced to return home wita the short end of the games. The locals having made a clean sweep of the series. Owing to the fact that one of the members of the Portland team could not get away, but four men on a side were used, but regardless of 'this feature the games were more than interesting. The Portland team has an excellent reputation as bowlers, and the locals are more than entitled to praise in capturing the series and by winning these games put themselves in line with every strong team in the state. The four men that represented Portland were her four best bowlers and they bowled very brilliant at times. Cook led his team in individual work and Shafer put up the most consistent game for Decatur.

COURT HOUSE NEWS The Jury Returned a Verdict Against Defendant Frank Abnet. A QUICK VERDICT Jury Was Out Only Two Hours —R. S. Peterson Special Judge. i. The case of the State ex rel Grace Burley vs. Frank Abnet, bastardy, went to the jury at 5:15 Tuesday evening and two hours later returned the following verdict: “We, the jury, find that the relatrix has been delivered of a bastard child, that the same 'is now living and that .Frank Abnet is the father of said child.” According to the laws the jury does not fix the amount of money to be paid for the support of the child, this being a duty which devolves upon the court. Judge Merryman has not as yet announced w’hat that amount will be, but will probably do so in a few days. The case occupied two days and caused a great deal of interest, owing to the prominence of the parties, both of whom are well known in the south part of the county, where they reside. The Adams circuit court is a busy place just now and more cases are being tried than for some time. Robert S. Peterson has been appointed special judge in the John Snyder estate case and assumed jurisdiction this morning. Judge Merryman was disqualified, having been counseled in the matter. Joint and separate demurrers were filed by all the defendants in the case of the State ex rel Sarah Gleason, administratrix of the Clem Boze estate vs. Edward E. Young et al, damages, $5,000. In the case of J. H. Voglewede, guardian for Elizabeth M. Gluting et al vs. John Gluting et al, partition, a reply was filed to separate answer of and to Jesse Niblick’s answer. City Treasurer W. J. Archbold appeared at the county clerk’s office today with a check for $2,268.90.which paid the balance due on judgments rendered against the city some time ago, that being the amount due. This the following balances: J. K. Bell, $32.98; B. W. Sholty, $785.09; Electric Appliance Co., $84.35; Harvey
