GREEN-DAILEY CASE 18 ARGUED i ... | I I Demurer in Porter Case Is Overruled —Afred Foster Committed to Jail. John Meyer vs. Christina R. Niblick, administratrix of the estate of William' H. Niblick, claim, demand 370.50 and Thomas Fitzgerald against the same defendant, claim, demand 3900, were the titles of tWp suits filed in the 1 Adams Circuit court. Arguments were heard today in the case of John H. Green vs. Raphael Dailey, Dore B. Erwin and Shaffer! Peterson appearing as attorneys in the' case. The court has the cause under, consideration and will give his finding in a day or two. In probate court, John A. Hendricks, guardian for Alice Kinney, filed his report. A case filed today was entitled Henry Stucky and Leah Stucky, ex-1 parte, petition for adoption of child. Petition was granted. Norvell Shopleigh vs. Schafer Hard-' Ware ’company, amended bill of particulars filed, motion to make complaint more specific overruled. In the David Werling petition for drain, the commissioners filed a preliminary report. Charles D. Porter vs. Arlie Carpen-ter-et al., demurrer to answer argued and overruled, exception by plaintiff to ruling on each paragraph. Judge Brwln rendered, judgment on the Alfred Foster verdict today, fining him 310 an Costs and committing him to the Adams Cottiftf jail. ’ ■ The outcome of the damage suit of Siegfried Geisler against the city of Fort Wayne, has resulted in S K compromise, the city paying Geisler 34,250 and' agreeng not to appeal the case to the supreme court. Geisler, who is a cigar maker, fell from a bridge at Fort Wayne into the river, the railing of the bridge wall proving defective. The lady with Geisler was killed and he was in the hospital more dead than alive for several weeks. A large section of his skull had to be removed and the wound on his head has never healed. The case was tried here a year ago, Geisler winning out. TO MR. AND MRS. H. STUCKEY Babe Is Only Twenty Days Old and is Motherless—Scene’Was a Pathetic One. Earl Smith, a welt known young man from Berne, stdod before Judge Erwin in open court this morning an<l gave away his. little twenty-days-old l daughter, Orpha Lillian Smith. He realized the solemnity of the occasion and his; face bor»the saddened expression of the troubles that have come .to b|m. His wife died a few days ago, leaving the little babe motherless and when Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Stucky .offered to adopt little Orpha as their I heir at law, the father decided it was best and agreed to the same. The child was born December 26th. Mr. Stucky showed the court that he was amply able to care for the child and 'the'court believing the action for the , babe’s best future, allowed the petition ' and the child became Orpha Smith Stucky. ' F. M. Cottrell represented the petitioners, Mr. and Mrs. Stucky; A minister of "Fulton, Kansas, was moved by the grief of a husband whose' wife was to be buried and sought to commiserate him ix the following manner: “My brother r -L know that this is a great grief that has overtaken you, and though you are .compelled ;to mourii the loss of this, one who was your companion and partner ,in life v I would console you with, the that there is another who sympathizes with* you and longs to embrace you jn the Arms of unfailing love.’ 1 To this the bereaved man replied by asking as he gazed through tears into the minister’s face, “What’s her name?” —Ex. The home of Mrs. Nancy Kennedy, near Spencerville, burned to the ground Saturday morning. The only occupants of the house were Mrs. Kennery, who is very ill, and her little niece, about 12 years of age. The flames started in the attic, and when they were discovered the little girl,, barefooted and clad only. in . her nightgown, ran to the home of her father, Mr. Wasson, a' quartet of a mile away, to “nbtlfyUTm ’of the fire. - He sue- ' ceeded in rescuing his sister from ; the' burning house, but she is in a critt leal cqndlliou /ftQjn.. the shock. The ' house and contents were entirely consumed. r • ‘

THE BUSINESS MEN WLL HELP Messrs. Brant and Butler Have in Charge the Soliciting of Stock. Whether a msdern, well equipped canning factory will be added to the industries of this city, depends upon '.the efforts now being made by Mr. J. iM. Brant of Chicago, and Ex-Sheriff Cutler of this city. They have began the actual work of soliciting stock subscriptions and if 313,900 is guaranteed, the plant wll be built Several business men mdt these gentlemen at jthe Commercial Club last evening and ( beard the plan under which these I plants are built. The business men will help the venture, providing enough farmers show an inclination to want it, Mr. Butler will take quite an active part and if it goes through will likely have charge of the concern. Subscriptions by at least forty or fifty farmers will be necessary in order to be assured of the acreage necessary Ito keep a plant in eperation during the canning season. The prihicpal products will be tomatoes and corn. Indiana has never been taken with canning fever, although Pennsyl|Yanid, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois, lowa atid Minnesota have them in. plenty. As ap industry they stand very near I the head and even lead many indus- | tries that are known to be staple. This section of -the country is well adapted to the cultivation of both tomatoes and corn, and the farmer who raiSfis these products in quantity will have a better investment than in anything else he could cultivate. - _ o THE.. PLAIN MAN HAS IT BEST . . *•* • '■ ■'* • ' > . .7 ■ No banger of Rat Polson Though He s is Out of Style. We have always* compelled to believe that the. plain plug of is the happiest man in the world after all.. His pants, may bag at the knees, and. he may not be aequanted with the latest style of chin whiskers; he may not hold down a throne or the presidency of a railroad; he may not know the joy of having a brand of socks named in his honor, but as he potters along through life he gets about as much satisfaction and calm out of it as his more distinguished friends. He knows there is no crank hanging around the corner to shoot- a hole through his anatomy or bury a cheese knife up to the hilt in his person. He knows when he sits down to his frugal meal that he can eat his pie with his knife with perfect impunity, for there is no danger of its having been spiked with rough on rats. No doubt it is lots of fun to be hailed whenever you step out on your porch and to have, yourself continually misquoted in the: newspapers and to know that as you hang up your crown for the- night and ; crawl into your luxurious couch the. police force is stand- , ing out in your back yard to keep the admiring public from throwing ■ bricks through your window, gut not- ' withstanding all these ardent joys, the 1 common everyday chap who wears a hickory shirt and a hat that is eight ' years old, gets the most pleasure out? of life in. the long run. . * , - _o— ——— .. A was narrowly averted on the Clover Leaf Saturday, night, when No. 41 a freight, bopnd westward, was ; stopped within twq^car-lengths of a i switch engine. Some of the trainmen jumped, expecting the two engines , would come together. The yard engine had been at Michaels Ville about i three miles west of Marion;, No. 41 was . tp have been held in Marion until the switch engine had come to the yards. . An error .evidently was made for 41 pulled on, through the. yards find was near. Thirtieth street, on an. up grade when the switch engine came i' into. view. The emergency brakes were i set and the trainmen began hurriedly to unload.—Marion News-Tribune, . 1 Tom. Miller was officially informed ■ today that the auditor of the road 1 would be.

Mr. Miller • is ready to change his domicile and ■ is now anxiously awaiting the arrival , of the auditor, so that he may be able' • to settle up and get settled 4 in his new r home at Bluffton. Marshal Green last evening, picked i up two young fellows and placed the>>f i in jail on a charge of vagrancy. They i were arraigned before Mayor Coffee ~ this morning and after telling a pitiful - tale, they were ordered to get out of , town as fast as possible. The boys , looked hohest enough, but seemed to - be up against a rtin of tough luck, i The mayor s action is to be commend- - ed as he thus saved the county several i SxtpVboauL bills, , ano, as the ypnng men had harmed no one they were entitled to their liberty.
