Erwin is attorney for Mar- ] garet Mayer, who filed suit against i the Ward Fence company to adjust an account of $2,2.75 for brick, over 1 which a controversy seems to have : arisen. ( C. A. Neuenschwander, as guardian for Clarence Loganpence, filed a current report showing $415.52 on hand. Rome City, Ind., July 30.—The bathers anu a targe crowd of spectators at Tripletts Beach, Rome City, today saw an exemplification of the old adage “good goods are done in small packages.” While th e fun at the beach was at its height a small boy with a party of excursionists was allowed to put on a bathing suit and enter th e water under promise of keeping inside the ropes. The little fellow did not understand that the boys who ran out on a spring board and leaped into the water were swinging back and so boldly made the run and leap. He had gone down for the third time, too completely strangled to utter a sound when little Bob Quinn, son of French Quinn, of Decatur, saw the trouble. Instantly Bob. who is an inveterate diver, took the plung e and came up with a firm grip on the back of the neck of the drowning boy’s bathing suit. Bob bad his charge to the ropes before the men of the party saw the trouble, and rushed to the rescue. An excited bystander jumped among the bathers fully dressed and wild excitement prevailed. Some of the men present might have seen the trouble before it was too late, but the fact remains that it w &s little Bob Quinn who saved the life of a boy slightly larger than himself. Frank Cotton, the Bluffton young man, who was released her e of a charge of perjury, following his conviction and the granting of a new trial on a technicality may yet have to pay the penalty of his misconduct in the Wells county town. It will be remembered that at the same time he was being tried here, there was a second charge pending at Bluffton, of forgery. Following his release here the matter was dropped temporarily on the promise of the young man’s father, George Cotton, now of Elkhart, that matters would be adjusted so that the alleged maker of the check would not be a loser financially. For several months since that promise, Cal Ditzler, the victim of Cotton’s forgery, has been holding this paper, but there has been no effort to make good the promise of repaying the money. He has now announced that he will instruct the officers to proceed with the prosecution at once if the money is not forthcoming.—Portland Commercial-Review. , That more automobiles are owned in Decatur than in pther towns of similar size is a conceded fact and several new ones have been purchased during the course of the past few’ days. A. Van Camp has ordered a large seven passenger touring car from Buffalo, which, in all probability will be received by the owner next week. This machine will be among the best and most attractive in the city, it being modern in every particular and practicable as well. It will probably have a larger seating capacity than any other in th e city. Jesse Niblick has purchased a beautiful touring car, which has been brought to the city and is being operated by the popular young man. Mr. Niblick made the purchase through a Kokomo agency and the car was driven to this city by L. W. Coppock. ‘ The car is a beauty and has attracted much attention. While it is now probable that many more cars will be purchased by De- < catur people during the remainder of the summer, we are authoritatively informed that at least six new ma- i chines will be bought next spring, i The craze is on. The accident bulletin issued by the 1 railroad commission of Indiana for 1 the three months ending June 30th, . shows that during that entire time not 1 a passenger was killed on any steam 1 or electric railroad ini the state, a won- ‘ derful record. During the same time however, twenty-four employes were < killed on steam roads, but none on the electrics. During the past year ten j passengers were killed on steam roads j and five on electrics; 105 employes f were killed by the steam lines and i five by the traction. 1

M allace A. Lichtenwalter, a well, known barber of this city, died at' 5 o clock Wednesday morning at his 1 home, 2912 south Calhoun street, af-!* ter an extended illness from lung • trouble. He had for several years >: conducted a barber shop at 132 east ; Columbia street. Mr. Lichtenwalter j was born in Allen county. October 2, ’ 1863, and his age was therefore 44 years. 9 months and 27 days. He was a member of Phoenix lodge, Knights ’ of Pythias, and had many friends. 1 Surviving relatives include the wife, ( one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Edington, 1 of Decatur, and four brothers, C. C. ' and W. M. Lichtenwalter, of Fort 1 Wayne; George M. Lichtenwalter, of ’ Denver, and Albert Lichtenwalter, of ' Los Angeles, Cal.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. 1 Mr. Lichtenwalter was well known 1 here, where he had numerous rela- ' fives and friends, who regret to hear 1 of hlg death. The Indiana repartment G. A. R. is ' experiencing considerable difficulty in getting what is regarded as a satisfactory railroad rate to the national G. A. R. encampment to be held at Toledo, August 31 to September 4. The G. A. R. men believe they should have a rate of one cent a mile, as such rate has been granted to other organizations. The interurban lines have a somewhat lower rate than that which has been offered by the steam lines. Col. J. R. Fesler, assistant adjutantgneral of the Indiana department, has been trying to adjust the matter with the passenger agents of the steam lines, but so far nothing definite has resulted. There are 380 G. A. R. posts in the state, according to Colonel Fesler. He says that nearly all posts would be well represented at the national encampment, provided a satisfactory rate was obtained. Otherwise, he says, many of the posts will not even be represented by delegates. Colonel Fesler believes that if other low rates, such rates should not be denied the G. A. R. From present indications a large delegation from Decatur will attend the national encampment, as the old soldiers are already making arrangements for same. The meeting promises to be one of the most interesting ever held and if the rate of one cent per mile is secured, no doubt there will be a large number of the members of the G. A. R. present. Not the matrimonial bureau lovey love, but a case of unknown correspondence of a well known and popular young barber of the city has struck him certainly looks like the real goods. The young man in some manner became acquainted, or in otner words secured the name of a pretty society miss of Decatur and proceeded to write her a postcard. He received an answer to the missive by return mail and since that first few lines he has longed to look into her smiling face, to see those dreamy eyes that he seems to know and yet has never cast his “ghms' upon. The post , card system did not last long and developed into long loving letters. All . went well and the mail men were busy i between the two places until the other evening the father of the young lady , walked Into a prominent business , house here asking if they knew the young man, saying that his daughter had been corresponding with the bar- , ber and he would like to take one squint at the young fellow. The father had been reading the letters his daughter had been receiving and thought the case was getting serious. The proprietor looked for the young man, but he was nowhere to be found. The man from Decatur left for Fort Wayne the sam e evening saying he would be in the city again in the near future, and to tell the fellow that he had called. When the barber was noti>- dos the visit of th e father of this unseen affinity the case took a change for the worse, as the young man has ceased all ardor-dropping correspondence and will lay low. —Bluffton Banner. Rev. W. H. Shepherd, of west High strer, left Tuesday afternoon for Union City, wher e he will spend Tuesday night with friends and relatives. Wednesday morning he will continue to Greenville, Ohio, where he will attend the fifth annual re- ; union of the Shepherd family, which will be held in that city at the fair , grounds. —Portland Review. < The Fair Association and citizens 1 of Decatur certainly appreciate the ' liberality of the G. R. & I. very much ’ for giving us a train south each even- 1 ing during the week of the a^r - This j should greatly stimulate the attendance from the southern part of the ’ couny. Under these arrangements ( people living both east and west of Geneva and Berne can driv e to these t places in the morning, take the morn- i ing train for Decatur and spend the entire day here, returning home in ( the evening, thus avoiding the long ] drive of former years. x George T. Ulmer, formerly em- t ployed in this office and now working t at Portland, spent yesterday with his c family in this city. Mr. Ulmer has I not yet decided to move from this city 1 to Portland—Bluffton Banner. ’

Berne. Ind., July 21. —(Special to Daily Democrat)—John Burry’s big barn on his farm, three miles north of here, was completely destroyed by fire at about ten o’clock this morning. The loss is total including thirty-five ton of hay, other grain and machinery and with a loss of about $1,200 partially covered by insurance. The cause is unknown. Edward M. Wiison and Samuel R. Wellman, of this city, have been air pcinted as the successors of tn e late Charles S. King as managers of th? mortgage loan department of tl.c Prudential Insurance company, for the Fort Wayne district. Mr. Wils is a member of the well known insurance firm of Schrader & Wilson, and Mr. Wellman has been an assistant to Mr. King, coming with the latter from Wabash to Fort Wayne two years ago. It is expected that official announce ment of the appointment will b e made within a few days. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. Berne, lnd„ July 31.—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Walter Haibinger, whose home is supposed to be at St. Louis, made a desperate attempt to commit suicide at about ten o’clock this morning when he slashed his throat from ear to ear with a razor. He was a traveling man and arrived here on the morning G. R. & I. train from th south. He seems to have lost his position recently, owing to the shut down of so many factories and though well dressed, was penniless. Shortly after arriving here he started to walk north along the railway and when near the home of Charles Meyers, two and one half miles north of here, he drew a razor from his pocket and cut his throat. He was carried into the Meyer home and Dr. Franz, of Berne, summoned. He is about thirty-eight years old and when he learned that his condition was criticical asked that telegrams be sent to a sister at Fcrt Wayne and to relatives at St. Louis. His physicians believe he has a chance to recover. Despondency over losing his job is supposed to have caused his rash act. Reports just issued by the state statistician show a decrease in the number of liquor license issued for saloons in the towns and country districts and a marked increase in most of the large cities. The total number at the end of the year was 5.214 as ■ against 5,253 at the close of 1906. ■ The figures indicate that the chief - increase in the number of saloons has l been in the large cities. While it is 1 known that much territory in Indiana - has gone dry, due to th € efforts ol • the Anti-Saloon league,there has beer ’ no marked decrease in the number 1 of saloons. While many townships I have been cleared of saloons alto i gether, more saloons have been estab i lished in other sections, particularly ; in the thickly populated portions of ; the state. There has been only a ■ slight decrease in the number of sa . loons in the last three or four years. • This, too, inspite of the fact that there has been aremarkable increase in the extent of dry territory. An idea of this increase may be had by taking the figures for some of the larger cities of the state; Terre Haute, number of license issued in 1903, 180; number in 1907. 278. South Bend. 1903, 162; 1907, 211; Indianapolis, 1903, 628; 1907, 745; Evansville, 1903, 285; 1907, 296; East Chicago, 1903, 62; 1907, 206. When you read the weather fore cast today, just take another hitch in your belt and wait. The truth is, the weatherman, like everybody else, has been suffering from an attack of “hot air” for the past few days. He is a hopeful fellow, and is doing the best he can. But there have been serious atmospheric disturbances in the country. Out at Medicine Hat, where the weather for this country makes its beginning, for the past week it has been hard to tell whether the “low” meant a frost in Minnesota or in Texas, whether a “high" indicated a rain in Michigan or Missouri, so for the past week, even Uncle Sam. with millions of dollars wrapped up in the weather departmenr, has been unable to give ns the weather with any degree of accuracy. This fact brings out this point | —every year we find people who deciare that the earth is cooling off. and that it won’t be long until vege-1 tation cannot be raised this side of the Gulf of Mexico. This week proves to the contrary —for it proves that the seasons are as they always have been and always will be. Just lea rn ' how’ to meet every contingency of. this climate—and don’t worry.—Ken-j dallville Sun. D. E. Smith went to Fort Wayne this morning where he will look after ( important business. At Maple Grove Park tomorrow’ oc- ( curs the annual picnic of the German Reformed church. This affair is always attended by large crowds and enjoyable times are had and the com- 1 mittee in charge will make no exception tomorrow. Many amusements J have been prepared to entertain the , little ones, besides a picnic dinner will also be on the program.

t r Articles of Incorporation have been s filed by a new mutual rfve stock asso- >■ ciation which was organized by pars ties living at Ossian, and it will be s known as the Farmers' Mutual Live s Stock Insurance Association, with the a following list of officers for the first >f year: George W. Lechner, president; n Lewis F. Snyder, vice-president; J. S. r Krewson, secretary and treasurer; s Frank Hendry, general field manager, >• and Preston Chapman, adjustor of )- losses. Th e first four officers named y are all Ossian gentlemen while Mr. •f Chapman’s home is at Poe, Allen a county. i- The articles of the company state »• that their purpose is to insure horses, t cattle, mules, asses, sheep and e hogs, and any other domestic live I stock and the company will do busie ness in seven counties, Wells, Adams, fjAHen, Huntington, Wabash. Whitley e and Grant counties with their home i !offices at Ossian. They will embark in i the business of active insurance im- - 'mediately. ■ I Th e ' aw under which this mutual ■ 'company is organized permits such I mutual companies to operate in seven counties only and therefore there is i little conflict between the new com- , pany and an old mutual company already doing businss with headquar- • ters ait Ossian, under the name of the ; Ossian Mutual Live Stock Associa- ■ tion. The latter company has been in business about two years and its officers are also Ossian gentlemen, with main offices in that place, and they have done a thriving business, but they and the new company will do business in tw r o counties only in common, Wells and Adams. The other five counties in which the old company operates are south of Wells and Adams, while the five outside counties of the new company are located north and west. Therefore the two companies will w'ork in harmony out of Ossian. -Bluffton News, | While assisting the carpenters in doing some work on the new improvei ments at the First National Bank i Monday afternoon, Roy Mallonee was struck on the head with an iron beam which made an ugly cut on his head. He was taken to the office 1 of Dr J. M. Miller where his injuries ! were dressed and no serious results , are expected. i The rapid decline of the oil industry ;in Nottingham. Chester and Jackson tow-nships, Wells county, is shown by ( the fact that more than 600 wells have (been “plugged” this year, indicating that they are exhausted and are no ' longer used. Tom Railing is again back in the limelight. He is now with the Flint. | Mich., team in the southern league.
