Thieves Abandon Clover Seed Following Accident Pennville, lnd„ Oct. 31. —Thieves entered the elevator of the Pennville Milling company early Saturday morning and stole about SSOO worth of; clover seed. They carried away their 1 loot In an automobile truck, and some; of the men rode in a touring car. The thieves met with misfortune, ! however, before they were far from i the elevator. They were driving south ; i from this city and ran into a bridge I which was undergoing repairs. The truck stuck and was badly damaged. Seventeen sacks of clover seed were unloaded from the truck and placed | on the ground, and were found later by workmen at the bridge. The other three sacks of seeds were placed in the touring car which pulled the truck away. . A large number of the sacks in the elevator were labeled with the mark of the Pennville Milling company, but the robbers selected only the sacks which were unmarked. The watchman of the Pennville Lumber company, while making his rounds early Saturday morning, discovered three men trying to break I into the office of the company. He fired seven shots at the men, but none of them hit their mark. o Must Pass Test in Indiana History Now Pupils being graduated from the I eighth grade this school year will be required to pass an examination in Indiana history before receiving a diploma from the common schools, I Robert K.
