Four Young Men Will Answer Serious Charge When Court Convenes GENEVA. IND . June 22—Four well known young men of this city have been bound over u the Adams ! Circuit coart on the charge of " Rioting" and from the evidence given at their preliminary trial last night, a severe penalty, perhaps a term in prison awaits them. Their crime is a serious one. they having assaulted an old man named Louis C- Fenton, beating him with a club . shamefully. Fenton lives near this city and has a daughter Miss Hattie who for several months has been working in Geneva. Os late she has been inclined to be a little wayward. Her father heard of her actions, went to Geneva Monday night and demanded that she return home with him. flattie objected but finally started home with her father. When just out side of town they were overtaken by six young men. Bert Webb, Bert Votow. John Jones. ■ Red "Votow, Marion Winsted and Tommy Haviland who demanded the girls release. The old man refused and four of the young men proceeded to give him a beating which they did in a most brutal, way. While the battle was in progress two oil men Thomas Barrett

and William K if man came along and finally succeeded in rescuing Mr. Fenton after delivering some forcible argument with their fists. The six young men were arrested on a charge of riot and tried last! night before Squire Frank Ormantrout. Tommy Haviland and Red Voto were acquitted while the other four were bound over to court in the sum of 1100 each. All gave I bond but Bert Votow who will be > placed in jail here.

A. Bennett left last evening for Detroit Mich, where he has acceptled a position as horse sheer at the race track while here he was in the '■ employ of E L. Terryll. ‘•Shorty” Miller, the young man from near Pleasant Mills who came here a day or two ago, filled up on boozerine and while enroute to Fort Wayne repeatedly insulted a passenger was fined s•"> and costs at Fort Wayne yesterday amounting to $15.30. Miller has no doubt earned a lesson or two and discovered that he dosn't even own the G. R & I. railway. Considerable activity is being manifested in the oil fields just at this time in spite of the fact that oil has dropped to $1.03 and haevery prospect of going still lower. This is due largely to a new form of lease that the farmers owning oil producting lint*s, are compiling the operators to sign. The clause in question is one which provides that the operator must in all cases protect the line. Thus, it a company owning an adjoining lease puts down a well very near the boundary line, the former may insist that an offset well, or a well drilled as close as possible must be put down. With the protection clause in the contract, the operator ha- nothing to 1 do but to comply with this request. As soon as the offset and line wellhave been pretty generally drilled in. the operators will take things pretty easy until there is a change in the market price of oil. With the price bobbing around as it has in recent weeks, there is little to encourage the new beginner to enter the oil business. Tuesday at six o'clock a m. at the 1 St. Mary s Catlr he church occurred the wedding of Mis- Katie Tawney .of Howard City. Michigan to Mr.

William Colchin of this city. Father Wilkens officiating. The ceremony I was simple but very im-, ressive ard a large crowd was present notwithstanding the early hour. The bride and groom were attended by Miss I Anna Hess of Ft. Wayne and Herman Colchin of this city. Immediately after the ceremony was per- j j formed the immediate relatives and happy couple went to the home of f Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Colchin where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served. Mrs. Colchin is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elias Tawney of Howard City Mich., and was the leader of her crowd when at home, she came here several ! weeks ago and during that time ' was the gaest of Mr. and Mre J. S. Colchin. William'Colchin needs no int-eduction to our readers being a son of Mr. nd M s. Peter H. C-slchin who resides just south of jour city. Mr. Colchin has for sev’eral ye;t > been in the employ of his brother J. S. Colchin in the ,estau-1 ant and while there has made a h -- nf friends. The happy couple I left this morning for Howard City Mich., where they will visit for two I weeks with relatives and will then , be at home to their many friends on Washington Avenue. They were • the recipients of many beautiful ■ esents. The Democrat joins with i the:.- many tends in wishing them a happy married life.

He enlisted in the regular army in this city June 7. ISOI and was assigned to Company I. of the 39th regiment of infantry. After a years work out he was sent to the islands where he ' arrived May Ist. 1902 and remained until April 15th last. He was dis--1 charged a few days ago at Whipples Barrock. Arizona and came home immediately. A peculiar incident jof his service is the fact that his company was not in a single scrimmage, though they were very close . t<> several. Albert says tire cli iof the Phillipines agreed with him . i i i x. ~ 1,

exactly and he has better health than ever before. He was in the hospital a month and a half on account of trouble with hi- eyes but was never sick a day. He will not re enlist at present but says he is ready if his country ever needs him again. The Democrat never published anything anonymous without possessing the name in writing of the contributor. All goods rules are worthy of being broken in an emergency, as the following would indicate. the same coming from Detroit Michigan: I notice an article in . the Democrat of June llth, where Mr- E. J. Bailey, has been en- ■ gaged to teach the coming year at the Central school. The article i croes on to relate that none of her [former pupils ever spoke of her : but in the highest praise. I. as , i one of her old pupils want to say that we all had the greatest love ’ i and admiration for her and through : | the years that have passed since j Then, there is not one oi us but ! what loves her yet and never for a ' moment has she ever been forg >t- ’ [ ten. Her joys have been our joys and her grieves ours. While we regret the necessity of her teaching again, the school board are : truly blessed in being fortunate enough to secure the services of so capable and competent a teacher as Mrs. E. J. Bailey, and the scholars who are in the Seventh Grade the coming year will find their teacher one of God's own and I hope will give her little trouble and make it as easy for , her as possible. In writing this j for ( myself I know 1 am uttering ’ the thoughts of all her old pupils, 1 and my only regret is that words fail to express all 1 would like to say. Sincerely One of her old pupils.

"If you find me getting inquisitive like Helen Lane, that a asked me three times when my birth- , day comes and what year I was born after my having to go to the town records to find out her age. I want you to mention it freely, and I shall do the same by you. “If folks don't help each other, what's the good of being set in families? You've got a little habit of interrupting. Mary, that's growing on you. and I'm going to do I can to help you break It up.' —Youth 8 Companion. - - A TOUCH OF NATURE. — Pathetic Story of a Mother of the I Labrador Coast. Writing of the people of the Labrador coast, in Harper's Magazine, Norman Dunean tells a pathetic story of a poor mother whom be me', sitting with her child outside the Battle Harbor hospital: •• ‘He've always been like that.’ she said. 'He's wonderful sick. I've fetched un out bene t' get the a '. He doos better in the air, zur,' she added; ■nrticb. much l etter.' •' -He'll be getting fritter,’ said I.

‘Here in the bos’— “ ‘He ll die,’ she interrupted quickly. “I was glad that he was to die. It would be better for him and for her. She would forget his deformity; she would forever have the memory of j him lytog warm upon her breast, | warm a ad lovely; for, in this, memory t is kind to women “ ‘You have —another?’ “ ‘No. zur; ’tis me first.’ “The child stirred and complained. I She lifted him from her lap. rocked him. hushed him, drew him close, rocking him all the time. “ ‘And does he talk?’ I asked. “She looked up in a glow of pride and answered me, flushing gloriously, j while she turned her shining eyes once ’ more upon the gasping babe upon her ! breast; ’• ’He said “mamma,” once!" “And so the Lt brador ‘liveyere’ is kin with the whole wide world.” Women and the Theater. Avowedly women are both directly i and indirectly the best friends of the | theatrical manager If l.e can please the feminine portion of his audience he is tolerably sure of success, for when a woman likes a play she induces [ her men folk to go to it This being so. c to’.d not w; ._. n to be specially | i considered in all places of entertainment? But it is precisely on the opposite line-: ;;;at the manager commonly . proceeds Men are encouraged to push i and squeeze i ist and disturb and it.- ; convenience ladies between the acts because smoking rooms are provided for them in m st theaters. Women, on [ the other Land, are expostulated with and denounced if tl. y wear hats at a matinee.—London World. Xeivton** Accuracy. Newton’s law of gravitation, which states that two bodies attract each other with a force inversely proportional to the square of the distance between j them, was n.ade the subject of an ex- | haustive investigation by Professor Brown of Haverford college. His eal- ■ culations show Newton’s laws to repre- : sent the motion of our moon to within | the one-millionth part of 1 per cent, and he states that no other physical law has ever been expressed with anything like the precision of the simple statement of this one—London Globe. Punishment by Proxy. A mother recently brought her little boy to school for his first time, and she said to the teacher: “This little boy is very delicate, as he is afther a fit of harmonya on the kongs, but if he does anything bould, and I know he will, bate the wan next to him an’ ’twill frighten him.’’—Chicago Journal. PcpLl •. “Here is a new pupil,” said the boy’s father, “I’d like you to keep in your eye.” ’’l’ve a pupil to each eye already.” replied the pedagogue. “However, I’ll keep this one under the lash at any rate.’’—CatL lie Standard and Times.
