Dear Sir: Although I have not been a resident of Decatur for the I past thirty-six years. I still am interested in the progress of the "old home town." and am still a sub- , scriber for its daily paper. 1 have i noticed the accounts of the prepar I 'ations for the observance of your | 'one hundredth anniversary of the town and county in August of this year This especially interests me as 1 was born there three quarters I of a century ago this month. I , i guess that would make me an old ; (possibly an ancient I resident if I still lived in Decatur. Anyway jl am coming back to spend a , couple of days that week and I browse around among the old resi-| L dents. My memory recalls many I of the early pioneers as well as the I old settings of the city itself. The : 'old frame business buildings, the j I two red brick buildings used for. county offices —one at the north.east corner and one near the southeast corner of the court house square. Also the old log jail and the nrob from the south part of the I county which took a prisoner from the sheriff, myself and Alex Bell How well 1 recall that some of the bullets fired by the mob on that occasion whistled past my head as we started with the‘prisoner fori Fort Wayne. But. alas, one of Alex Bell's team of racers fell wounded and the prisoner was taken from us and rushed to the GILLIG & DOAN Funeral Directors 21 Hour Ambulance Service. Lady Attendants.

Yes sir. my recollections of the early days in your city and county are good and 1 am coming bm k to help you celebrate. My best wishes to the city for a successful celebration. Respectfully J.

CONVICTS ENO HUNGER STRIKE ® Hunger Strike Ol Minnesota Convicts Is Believed Broken St. Cloud, Minn.. March 5 (UP) ■ A Imnsor strike' of a thousand (.onvict.« at Hm Minnesota reformatory here was believed broken at breakfast time today when many Inmates who had not eaten for 40 hours accepted food. Suipt. H. W. Whittier said that three ring-leaders of the airike bad been placed in solitary confinement. The prisoners, who had made sporadic but ineffectual demonstrations since the strike started Tuesday noon, were not permitted to leave their cells. Food was taken to the cells and inmate* were asked whether or not they wished to eat. Officials would not disclose howmany of the strikers had accepted food but admitted they considered the strike broken They believed the : remaining convicts would surrender to hunger demands by nightfall. The strike began Tuesday noon

'apparently ut u pre-atranged signal' Demanding hifher pay, taster ac Ition on paroles, and Iqnget visiting 1 hours, the convicta roae from their dining room tables, dumped their food on the floor and milled al>out the dining hall. They were herded into their cells Imwiediatoly. The demonstration was repeated at supper Tuesday night, approximately LWO of the 1,200 convicts i artidpatlng. Pusoners were confined to their cells all day. Food was ottered them through the bars but it was mt until last night that the first to weaken accepted it. Others, according to guards, dumped their food on the floor aud hurled plates and cups down the cell corridors, shouting and scream■ng. Warden Whittier said he had discovered the three ring-leaders aud immediately placed them in solitary cell* Removal of their presence, he said, probably led the first weakening. Guards had said they believed a large number of the strikers were intimidated by the leaders, and that once they were removed, the others accepted food. - 200 cans Corn. 200 cans Tomatoes for sale at Riverside Sales.
