FLOORED HIS MOTHER . After They Quarreled—Otto Ray a Victim of Young Man’s Fists Perhaps the most disgraceful occurrence that has ever been chronicled in Adams county happened at the home of Mrs. Jane Hahn, at Monroe, Monday morning when, in a fit of angr, her son, James, who Is a notor--1 us character, struck her unmercir fully which caused her to fall to the floor with great force. Mrs. Otto Ray, daughter of Mrs. Hahn, had left ‘Eer child at the Hahn home while she was engaged in washing for some other Monroe family. Mr. Ray went to the home of his mother-in-law to assist in caring for the child. Ke fell asleep after playing with the child for some time, but w r as soon awakened by a quarrel ensuing between Mr. Ray sprung to his feet until the the mother and her son Scarcely had elderly lady was lying prostrated on the floor as a result of the blow dealt out by her own son, who she had fondled and cared for since babyhood according to Mr. Ray’s story. Mr. Ray told young Hahn that he did wrong whereupon the notorious young man sprung upon him and abused him shamefully. An affidavit has been filed against Hahn before Squire Smith charging assault and battery with intent to kill and Sheriif Meyer went to Monroe this afternoon to make the arrest. How a young man can deliberately strike his own mother, who has nurtured him from the time he

first saw the light of day is more than human mind can fathom and that justice in all of its severity be dealt , out to the desperate youth is what the public demands. While it has been known for months that young Hahn was a character of questionable repute, he was never considered capable of brutally abusing his mother, the best friend he has ever had. o LOSS NEAR $5,000 Valuable Colt Lost—Other Stock Saved—Building Was Insured A disastrous fire occurred at Ceylon, in the south part of the county, Sunday morning at four o’clock, when the big bank barn, owned by ExTrustee John Brown, was totally destroyed, together with a large part of the contents. The origin of the blaze is unknown, the family of Mr, Brown being awakened at the hour mentioned by the roar of the flames, and at that time the big barn was a mass of fire. By quick work all the live stock was rescued excepting one colt, a thoroughbred valued at S2OO. The loss will reach nearly $5,000, as it will cost al>out $3,000 to replace the building at. this time. The loss also includes forty ton of baled hay. the baler, all the farm machinery and » quite an amount of grain. The hay baling was just completed Saturday evening. The barn and contents were partially insured. Mr. Brown will, of course, rebuild at once. The home and other buildings were not damaged owing to the fact that no wind was astir. o WARNING TO BICYCLE RIDERS Use a Light and Bell—Keep Off the Sidewalks. Bicycling seems to be more popular again this year than for some time and in this connection it might bo well to say that there is an ordinance in Decatur to the effect that persons who ride wheels at night must use bells and lights. A number of complaints have reached this office about persons riding on the sidewalks and ' without light or bell, a double violation of the law, These objections were made by sensible people, not in a spirit of malice but because they have cause to realize the danger. Mayor < France authorizes us to say that tin- , less the ordinances concerning eyeling are observed, it will be necessary to cause arrests as alesson for others. Be careful that you are not the vic- I tim. Get a light. Ride in the road, t The sidewalks are for pedestrians. , —o — f County Chairman W. Lea Smith received a letter Monday morning from State Chairman U. S. Jackson, of In- t dianapolis, stating that Hon. Thomas r R. Marshall, democratic candidate for j governor, had been booked for a t speech in this city on Saturday, Aug- £ ust 15th, the date, of the democratic n county convention to nominate a couii- > s ty ticket.—Portland Daily Suu. v

11 —■ "■ ■ ADDS CONVENIENCE 1 Ninth, Indiana and Short Streets Will Be Extended to Hannah Addition Street commissioner. J. D. Stultz is at present a busy official. In addition to his pursuit of usual duties, j he is making al! arrangements to onen and establish the extensions of three streets, which will give convenient access to building lots in the vicinity of the M ard Fence factory. Ninth street will at once be extended to the Ward Fence site and grading will be done on same until it is in good condition. Indiana street an east and west road will be extended two squares across the railroad, crossing the Ninth street extension. Short streiet twill also be extended two squares west from the G. R. and I. railroad, connecting with the other newly established thoroughfares, and thus an ideal outlet will be furnished for the owners of lots in the Hannah addition who expect to build. Mr. Stultz expects to accomplish the above stated improvements during this week. We are authoritatively informed that several houses will be built in the vicinity of the Ward Fence buildings, and it is responsive to the requests of the owners of lots in the Hannah addition that the extensions will be made. Philip Auth, the jeweler, will erect a new house in the Hannah addition in the near future and others will follow.

DEFEATED 5 TO 4 In a Ten Inning Battle Replete With Sensational Fielding and Hitting We stung them again. The Marion Owls, touted as the strongest indepenident base ball club In this section of [the state, made their debut on the local diamond Sunday and In a ten inning game replete with sensational fielding and heavy hitting the local aggregation the much heralded Marion Owls to the tune of 5 to 4. At no time during the game could either side claim the victory, as both pitchers got themselves in bad holes, when a short single would have cinched the game. Decatur took the field and retired their opponents in great style, although one run was made. Howiever, the locals started their run getting in their half and through clean hitting coupled with errors, three men crossed the rubber before the smoke cleared away, There was nothing doing then until the fifth when two clean hits netted the visitors one run. It was now three to . two and the locals were determined to win, taking advantage of every opportunity to do so. In the eighth, ■ both clubs secured a run and in the ■ ninth the visitors tied the score by . securing a triple and a sacrifice. In the last half of the tenth, Howard, the , new Decatur pitcher, singled to cent ter and Ellis put the timber on the , sphere for three bases, scoring HowI ard and winning the game. It was one of the prettiest games ever wit- , nessed in the city and aside from several questionable decisions made by the umpire and subsequent objections, the game went smoothly along. Sensationalism was much in evidence among the Decatur players, three big league style plays being pulled oft by Ellis, Bales and Peterson. In the j sixth inning with first base occupied. , a fast grounder hit toward the Ellis j territory. It looked good for a safety j but Curley stretched himself at full j length and gathered the sphere to y his bosom, stepped on the base and .- hurried the ball to first, and thus 5 pulled off one of the prettiest double *■ plays ever gazed upon by local bugs, e Frank Peterson made a sensational o .. stop as did Leslie Bales the fast first k baseman. Ed Pefferle, a former Bluffe ton player, held down the initial bag g for the visitors, and did not produce a n single stunt that drew applause from j the spectators, although he is noted y for his hitting ability. Twelve hits were secured off the delivery of Hows ard, while the Decatur champs solved e Hamilton’s assortment for seven safe j bingles, just enough 10 win. It is two g straight. Keep it up boys. e 0 •— ————— e TUESDAY, JUNE 9TH A ,t *' Popular Young Couple Will Marry—The Clever City Clerk is the Groom iAt high mass at the St. Marys a church Sunday morning, Rev.
