—- ■» j Join your delegation to this citv on ', Saturday, November 3, and attend the I largest rally ever given in this part ot Indiana. Everybody will be here. 1' The continued session of the citv I council did not materialize last Thurs- , day evening as announced, as a quorj urn of the members was unable to be ' present A called session was held last night for the purpose of deciding several questions previously brought ; before the body and for the allowance iof such bills against the city as have ', come due. A letter has been received here by I relatives of H. L. Counter and family, • | ot Sturgis. S. I)., stating that they will I arrive here within the next two weeks, i Herman has been working very hard i ai ni t! £ eds a rost which he will 'spend with Decatur friends.

C ’ J ‘ Lutz ’ 1X E - Smith and John C. Moran. He will probably control | a nice business in southern Adams. I James Coverdale appeared before , Prosecuting Attorney D. E. Smith last I night and sworeout an affidavit against I Adolph Hart charging him withdrawI mg a revolver upon him. The affair occurred at the corner of Jefferson and Third streets, where the two men met and after a few words it iselaimed ilart drew the gun and ordered Cov-1 i erdale to walk, which he did with re ‘ suits as above given. The ease will ’ lie heard this morning before ’Squire i Smith. The first legal action by Muncie J against the doubling of 'rates for natural gas by the two companies was taken when injunction proceedings . were filed against the Heat, Light and Power company, asking for a temporary restraining order, pending the suit for a permanent injunction to protect the people from the new rates. The belief is current in some quarters that the city officials are not sincere in the action, for the reason that the , customary bond for damages was not filed with the complaint, though an immediate restraining order is asked for. No action can be taken against the Muncie Natural Gas company, the major fuel supplier, until after the first of next month, when the new i rates will be in force.
