While playing ball Sunday afternoon Harold Kirsch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mathias Kirsch, had the misfortune to tear the, ligaments in his right leg, making a very painful injury which has kept him housed up since. He is able to limp around a little now and expects to be as good as ever within a few days. Mrs. Reuben Lord called on her nephew, Herman Neuenschwander, at the St. Joseph hospital. Fort Wayne, yesterday. He was injured Sunday when his bicycle broke and the rod was forced into his abdoman. He suff ered quite a lot yesterday after the removal of the ice packs in which lie had been kept, but it is believed iie will recover all right. He is fourteen years of age and the son of the late Ji cob Neuenschwander, well known here. He resided with his grand-par-ents, south of Fort Wayne. James Leb Watkins, Mayor of Newcastle, has been indicted by the Henry county grand jury on three counts, all charging bribery. In addition the grand jury, through its foreman, Arthur Henshaw, filed impeachment proceedings against Watkins in the Henry circuit court. Watkins provided bond of $3,0000 signed by Thomas B. Millikan, cashier of the Citizens’ State bank Harry Burris, president of the Newcastle Casket company, and J- S. McQuinn, secretary-treasurer of the Hoosier Manufacturing company of that city. The indictments are similar, one charging that Watkins accepted a bribe of $lO from Ollie Skinner, ti . prisoner in the Henry county jail, another that he accepted a bribe of $240 from Skinner and the third charging that ner. Another evidence of carelessness ir. regard to fire prevention was shown this morning at the roar of the Kirsch. Sellemeyer & Son’s lumber yard. The sawdust and shavings that had been used to cover the ground at the tabernacle had been hauled to the rear of the lumber yard and early this mornin.; some thoughtless driver had dumped a load of waste paper on the sawdust and set fire to it. In a short time the sawdust caught lire and it was with difficulty that the lumber firm with their fire hose were enabled to keep the blaze under control Decatur ranked fifth in the list of cities of Indiana in the amount of property destroyed by fire last year, and it war through such carelessness as this that | brought the percentage up. A little more thoughtfulness will sometimes cave a great amount of damage.
