MISS SELLEMEYER TO GIVE ADDRESS Miss Esther Sellemeyer, who at th*’ present time is on u furlough from her work as a missionary in China and who is widely known in this community, will give an address at 7:45 at the Presbyterian church on Wednesday evening. November 21. Misi; Sellemeyer for the past six years has been teaching in the Girls’ School at Shenchow, Hunan Province. Her experiences have been varied and more interesting than those of most missionaries. Miss Sellemeyer has the happy faculty of telling of her work in such away that her audience is gripped from the beginning to the end of her lecture. The achievements of Christian Missions in China have been wonderful and all will be anxious to hear the story of this work. Miss Sellemeyer not long ago addressed a large crowd in the High School Auditorium and those who heard her at that time were most favorably impressed with her earnestness and sincerity. This service marks the close of the Second Annual School of Missions held in the Presbyterian church beginning Oct. 17. Interest in this great enterprise has been heightened through classes, steropticon lectures, plays and addresses. The study classes will meet at 7 o'clock as usual.

One suit was filed against Purman B. Hebble et al, and judgment in the sunt of $1,650 is demanded. The other case was filed against Ben Auker et al, judgment in the sum of SI,OBO beytg demanded in this suit. Both complaints were filed through Attorneys Olds, Townsend ind Thomas. Case Against Straub Dismissed The case of the state vt. Frank Straub, for assault and battery with intent to kill, was dismissed yesterday afternoon after the prosecuting attorney, E. Burt Lenhart, had filed a nolle. The charge was filed against Straub last spring following a quarrel at the Straub home in the northwest part of the city, during which Straub shat Morris Swathwood with a shot gun. inflicting a wound in “Swathwood's* side. George Godfrey was also involved in the quarrel. As soon as Swathwood had sufficiently recovered from his wounds, he and Godfrey disappeared from the city and have not been heard from since. As circumstantial evidence pointed to the fact that Straub acted in self defense and the prosecuting witnesses could not be found, the case was dismissed. Hower Named Riding Bailiff Dallas M. Hower, deputy sheriff, has been re-appointed riding bailiff for the November term of the Adams circuit court. Sprunger Will Probated The last will and testament of Samuel F. Sprunger, who died at his home in Berne last week, was admitted to probate yesterday evening.

Theodora, Gustav’, Huldah, Meta Dorcas, Eva and Oda, or their heirs. Letters of administration were issued to Bernard F. Sprunger, who filed bond • in the sum of $3,000.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt ; r c Can the Yellow Jackets stage i ‘| come-back against Van Wert next Sat. t urday? That’s the big question In the minds of local fans this week as 1 the high school gridders go about 1 their preparations tor the Ohio inva- ' si on. > Van Wert has Scored a total of 124 1 points to their opponents' 28 and J have not been defeated this season. t St. Mary's held them to a 6-6 tie in the t first game of the season. Last Sat- 1 urday Van Wert defeated Greenville, 1 25-0. The Van Wert goal line has ' hot been crossed on the home lot this , season. At Greenville Saturday, the ' Greenville team had the Jtall on the I Van Wert 1-foot line and four downs I to push it over, but the an Wert line . held like a stone wall and threw back the attacks successfully. Out of Bounds, who entertains the readers of, the Bluffton Banner with I his fine line of chatter, says: "How the Decatur Leaders will ever win the i game tomorrow night with the Bluffton Phi Delts, is still a mystery to ' ; the Decatur fans. How about it Wil-1 lie, will you come down to see the 1

game?" Sure enough, Otta, we have reserved seats in the front ranks. We may net win, but if a bunch of players wtho have only played two games to- j gether as a team, can hold your bunch of veterans, who have been together for years, to a close score, it will be a worthy accomplishment. But il woli't be a mystery if the Leaders cop the big end of the score. Wabash high has ended the grid season, winging two out of eight games played. Poor Leady, the bnlv thing he tan remember about 1923 football season is that 85-0 score made in the game with Bluffton. Here’s the Wabash record: Wabash, 7: Ft. Wayne, 0; Wabash 0, Manual, of Indianapolis 6; Wabash 7, Goshen, 19: Wabash, 0, Emersoji of Gray, 42; Wabash 85. Bluffton. 0; Wabash, I, Jeffe’son of Lafayette. 7; Wabash, '. Sheridan, 29; Wabash. 0, Warsaw, 37. The Yellow Jackets already have that record beaten. Bud White, Yellow Jacket fullback, was pretty badly bruised up in the Peru game. But played a hard gam ■ and he drew many favorable comments from Peru rooters. If posr sible Bud will be back there fighting in the Van Wert game, Saturday. —» “Much Ado About Betty” To Be Presented Here The Young People of the U. B.
