For the past three or four days the Wabash has delivered from eight to ten car loads of beets to the G. R. & I. for the Decatur factory, besides hauling many car loads to other factories in western Ohio every day. ’ The beets passing through Fort Wayne i and handled by the Wabash come from the vicinity of Woodburn and Gar Creek, on the Wabash, and from , points in eastern Indiana and western Ohio on the C. H. & D. When the I business reaches the maximum point it will amount to double the present number of car loads—Fort Wayne Sentinel. A vicious criminal assault committed upon May Wise, the eight-year-old daugter of Samuel Wise, of Ohio City, came to light last night, at the family home in that town, through the phy ' sical suffering of the child. Physicians were summoned to care for her and 1 o the men of medicine and in the presence of Prosecuting Attorney Good and other officers of the law, the child related that she had been induced by Clarence Vanover, a married man, aged about thirty-five years, to visit the barn at the Vanover home, which is about one square distant from the Wise residence, where the assault occurred. According to the story of the child, the crime was committed in the early evening, when Vanover was returning home from work, and she did not immediately disclose her condition through fear induced by threats made by Vanover. The condition of the victim is so grave that she was brought to the Van Wert County hospital, ioday, for a surgicaboperation. Vanover was arrested and taken before Mhyor Musgrave. He strenously denied the charge, waived examination and was ' held to answer to the Grand Jury. In default ot bail in the sum of two thousand dollars, he was brought to ■ the county jail. So far the officers have been unable to find any one who ’ saw Vanover with the child during ' the evening.—Van Wert Bulletin. i —o COURT HOUSE NEWS The final report of Ambrose DurIbin, administrator of the James E.
