The sale will be held on the farm a short distance northeast of Decatur on next Thursday, Nov. 4. This is a farmer’s sale, and if any of the farmers are in need of any breeding stock this will be a chance to buy the best of breeding stock at a very reasonable price. TTiis herd stands second to none In the United States in producing good Durocs. Some of the most noted hogs known to the breed have been bred on this farm. Perhaps there was never a time when hogs were as profitable as at the present time. It would be a good time to buy a few good breeding hogs. We are just now facing a pork famine if you will notice the shortage in receipts in the market. There are no better hogs than the Duroc. He will grind his own feed, make his own bed, and when fat will carry his own carcass to market If any readers of the Democrat are in need of breeding stock it will be to your interest to attend this sale. o — Anyone having a second hand base burner for sale, leave word at this office. 259-3 t (j NOTICE—G.

FELL DOWN STAIRS — Mrs. Belle France Seriously Injured While on Visit at Rev. Mygrant’s AT VAN WERT, OHIO Arm and Finger Broken and and Was Bruised About Head and Shoulders Mrs. Belle France was painfully and quite seriously injured at about I nine o'clock Sunday morning at Van I Wert, where she went Saturday for I a several days' vitait with Rev. W. IH. Mygrant and family. At the time mentioned she started downstairs from the second floor and at the hea dos the stairway tripped and fell headlong down the stairs, alighting on her head and shoulders. She was quite badly bruised, the right arm was broken between the wrist and elbow, and the middle finger of the left hand was broken. Shejs quite sick as a result and a message todav said she was feeling very badly, although it Is not believed that there will be any serious results. It was feared that her illness today was due to Internal injuries, but the relatives think thfe was due to the fact that it was necessary to administer chloroform while the bones were set. Her many friends hope she will recover speedily. HAVE BEEN BUSY Treasurer Lachot and His Assistants Have Been Busy Today OFFICE OPEN TONIGHT Taxes Can Be Paid Any Time Before Nine O’Clock this Evening Treasurer Lachot and his assistants were a busy lot today, and the receipts will likely figure close to forty thousand dollars. The office weeks and already has a good insight tire day and they were all there for business, the paying of taxes and the taking of receipts therefore. For the accommodation of those who fail or were unable to pay up during the day, Treasurer Lachot has arranged for the office to remain open until nine o’clock this evening, and any time you call before that hour you will find opporunity to settle your account with the state of Indiana, the county of Adams, and the city of Decatur. Extra clerks are on duty, and under the system now in use at the office it takes but a few minutes to take up your account there. This is the last day under the law for the payment of taxes, and tomorrow the penalty wfll be added. This is the last tax payment in which Mr. Lachot will be in charge, and while we are sorry to lose him, yet we are glad to know that so good a man as Charles Yager will suceed him. Mr. Yager has been in the office for the last several weeks an dalready has a good insight into the affairs of the office. MURDER AT BLUFFTON (ContlE -d from pace 1.) have been the one which caused death. Mr. Haag's wife died some years ago and later he was married again, but the second wife and her stepchildren did not get along and she has for some titae lived at her home on the Adams county line, her husband going to see her and supporting he». She came to Bluffton as soon as she heard of the crime. Mr. Haag is also survived by eleven children. Several of these children were at home at the time of the crime and heard the shots, but supposed it was some boys celebrating Hallowe’en and did not go to the shop. They went out on the porch, however, and saw a large man run away along the side of the building. Mr. Haag was quite well to do and owned a beautiful home on the same lot where his shop stood. Policeman Fox also heard the shots but he likewise thought It was the work of boisterous boys. He says he saw a woman or a man dressed as a woman run across the street, immediate:;

after the shots, then go back and reenter the store, then leave again. Haag was a very secretive uian, never telling his troubles or business to any one and this makes it very difficult to find a clue. Jack Monyhan of this place was greatly shocked to hear of the tragedy. He had known Mr. Haag for years and had lived neighbors to him. He said he was quiet and harmless man und he cannot Imagine what would induce any one to commit such an outrage. —o ■ ■ UNDER AN ENGINE « Billy Gault of Peterson. Was Badly Hurt at Wabash Last Week _• ENGINE JUMPS TRACK Young Man Was Pinned Beneath, No Bones Broken and Will Recover Will Gault, of Peterson, better known as Billy, and a son of J. D. Gault, was badly hurt in an accident in the Wabash railroad yards at Wabash last Wednesday. Billy has been employed as a brakeman there for some time, and on the day mentioned was riding the foot board of the engine, when the big locomotive jumped the tracks. The jar threw the man off and he was pushed along In front of the engine for some distance, his left leg being badly crushed. He was extricated after considerable trouble and taken to the hospital, where the examination disclosed the fact that no bones were broken, but the flesh was torn and the leg so badly crushed that amputation may be necessary. A day later a piece of steel six inches long was taken from the leg, and Billy was suffering from a sever fever, but it is thought he will get along all right and may escape without being crippled. The young man is well known in this city and visited here two weeks ago. He is a nephew of Mrs. A. M.. Fisher and Mrs. Noah Mangold. SOCIETY COLUMN (Continued from d/’cp 2.) spirit of Hallowe’en breathed itself throughout the house. In the hall a sentinel pumpkin face greeted the guests as they entered. In the parlor the occasion was suggested by crepe paper ribbons of yellow festooned from the chandelier across the ceiling to the four corners of the rooms. 'Enormous black cats frowned upon the smiling company from their places on the lace cur tains. The color used in the festooning in the sittitag room was black and in the dining room a combination of the colors were used, being draped from the chandelier to the corners of the table, which supported an array of pale moons, witches with their brooms and cats and bats who fairly chased each other along their pathway. In the center of the table a great pumpkki face shed its beams, making the table look very pretty. Cats and witches cut from paper covered the table in appropriate and especially pretty decoration. Souvenirs which will be treasured by the twenty-five ladies who attended were little autumn baskets. —o TO LEAVE GENEVA (Continued from page 1.) Ohio, is making an extended visit with Mrs. A. G. Briggs on Line street. The Eastern Star ladies gave a Hallowe’en ball at the Masonic hall Friday evening. It was a decided success in point of music and attendance. David Pollum and wife of Portland, were over Sunday visitors with Geneva fritends. Sickness is abating in and around Geneva. It is the concensus of opinion that our schools will reopen after the twenty-one days. Hallowe’en was duly observed with masquerade parties plentiful and other events. Games were arranged for the small folks at the different homes by their friends and neighbors. Some very unseemly things were done by the older and larger ones, at a late hour when they should have been at home, but such Is life in a large 'city. • ■ 1 'i'O , Democrat Want Ads. Pay
