EASTER DOWNPOUR >r —— — j- (Continued from Page 1) e Interurban Has Little Trouble, i- The high waters have thus far causd ed little trouble to the Interurban. k Sunday the city of Fort Wayne was il flooded and there was slight delays !u o the schedule. Today, one little washe | out of only a ip w feet, was reported e at Middletown. This was soon repairejed. At Monmouth the creek Is up e | within two feet of the Interurban x tracks, and no danger Is anticipated. The cars, however, were run very clowly over the road that any danger 'from unexpected washouts or weak 'places might be forestalled. 1 It's An 111 Wind. 9 “It's an ill wind that blows nobody ■ good,” may safely be said by cyclone Insurance agents. Since tli4 tornado '■jof last week, Insurance agents have been unusually busy, writing new Insurance. The Decatur Insurance j agency alone wrote $1,500 of new cyclone insurance last Saturday, and up 1 till 10:30 o’clock this morning had written SIO,OOO worth. The insurance adjuster fpr the C. J. Lutz hame has '.not yet arrived, as there are so many ' claims prior to be attended to, but the j local agency attended to the starting of the repairs at once. Mr. Lutz carried $4,000 cyclone insurance in the Continental company of which Chester | Johnson is local age«t. Mail Carriers' Troubles. With the great downpour of rain since Sunday morning, the rivers and tributaries are swollen far beyond I their banks. In many places the roads are so flooded that they are Impassable. Fuhrman, rural carrier on route four, and Ray Christen, on route eleven, whose routes pass over the Schurger creek bridge west of the city,, found it wagon-hed deep over the road and returned to the office this morning. ! Elmer Archer of route six found the 1 river at Pleasant Mills so far above banks that he returned also. Clyde Rice, who covered route five with his | automobile, covered it by 11:30, mak-J ing time,but found the water hpb ; deep in some places. The other car- | riers had not returned by 2 o'clock and doubtless were able to make their routes. POLICE COURT. The trial of Dave Hammond, for assault and batten- against the person of Fred Kiefer, was held Saturday aftertioon before Mayor Teeple, who found Hammond guilty of the charge and gave him a fine of $3 and costs,' amounting to $13.30, which Hammond jpaid. In return as to the outcome of the above case an affidavit was filed against Kiefer by Hammond on the same charges. Kiefer was also found' | guilty and was assessed a fine of $1 and costs, amounting to $17.80, which he paid. C. E. Gross, who was arrested for carrying concealed weapons, was also up before Mayor Teeple Saturday l night, but as the evidence against him was not strrng enough to convict, inasmuch as the affidavit charged him with carrying concealed weapons while in reality he was carrying the revolver In a holster, he was acquitted. Daniel Straub was arrested Satur- ! day night on an affidavit filed against' him by his son, Charles Straub, for as- ; sault and battery. His trial was supposed to have been held this afternoon before Mayor Teeple, but at the time of going to press the plaintiff had not put in an appearance, and It was necessary to issue a subpoena. Marshal Peterson this afternoon NTrested Levi Troutner of Robp on a charge of drunkenness. Troutner was endeavoring to unhitch his horse when he lost his equilibrium and fell between the front wheel of the rig and the animal, and laid there until arrested. Peterson also arrested Mart Burkhead this afternoon an thb charge of assault and battery. Both trials will 1 be held tomorrow.
