The first stop was made at Ine home of Attorney and Mrs. Jesse Sutton where a fine .baby hoy was left. h. a handsome addition to the faniiii ol three older brothers. Twenty minutes later a stop was made at the 1 °nte ol Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Kleinlienz, where another fine lioy—'heir first linrn was left, Mr. Kleinh mi, is the well known druggist, being a member of the lloltliuuse Drug company. ilia wife was formerly Miss Vera Rhinger.

Very much alive, in good health, aud able to talk an indignant blue streak, is the condition ol Samuel Stoner, the man who was believed to have been killed by lightning recently at I‘oe. Two of Samuel Stoners brothers. I tan lei, of Rt. Wayne, and Simon, of Nebraska, have Just returned from Akron. Ohio, their old home place, where they visited with Samuel in person, and read to his indignant ears the articles on the dead man found near l*oe. who was believed to have lieen him It will he remembered that the body was burled at Poe, ami later disinterred hy the brother, Itstiiel. of Port Wayne, to prove w hethi r it really was his brother. Samuel Stoner, whom a pletur* of the dead Iran was thought to resemble. The picture as published, so strongly re humbled Samuel Stoner that many Decatur men were confident It was he, and one was ready to swear that it was Samuel Stoner. There was some doubt, however, by those who knew him best, especially c lien they failed to tlml certain dls ttnguDhing marks, after disinterring 'lie iMidy. The brother from Nebraska made tlx trip here on purpose, to look up tic brut he ami personally visit with him. slid lie was found at the home ol a farmer neur Akron, Ohio. He had l> en working there the paat year. So Indignant waa Samuel Stoner over the newspaper clippings that ac used him of being dead, that the blue vtt.ak of talk he Indulged In Is said have been characterised hy aeverml Idue hlines" worda. lie emphatic ally stated that he would think the 'nolle of Decatur would know hint i.
