After bearing th. suffering attending a serious siege of cancer of the liver for more than one year, during which •time the pain has been excruciating in the extreme, Frank X. Miller, a native of Germany, and for many years an Adams county resident, passed peacefully Into eternity Friday night at eleven o’clock. Thus the spirit of another of Decatur’s estimable aged men has been ushered before AlWighty. While to the family members and those with whom the decedent has been affiliated most poignant grief has been signaled, death came as sweet release to the aged man whose patience only exceeded the suffering he was subjected to. The deceased was born in Switzerland, Germany, October 18, 1846, and June 10, 1876 he was united In marriage to Verena Mary Kellar, who was also a resident of Switzerland. In 1881 Mr. and Mrs. Miller, with their two children, Robert and Anna, came to America, and they settled in Adams county June 24th of the same year, where the family has since resided. Since residing in Adams county five more children came to bless the happy union, all of whom with the exception of two, have grown to manhood and womanhood. Mr. Miller was a carpenter by trade. About a year ago he became ill and a diagnosis of his case revealed a cancerous affection of the liver. The engagement of medical aid and treatments of every department of this science failed to relieve the complications, hence he has grown steadily worse from day to day, his pain increasing and strength decreasing until he was forced te take to his bed. In an effort to prolong the life of the estimable man, an operation was performed two weeks ago today, but without avail, and it was then known that death was inevitable. The late Mr. Miller was known and beloved by many. He has not only been loyal to his every obligation, but he has lived a busy useful life.- The family who survive him are not alone in their hour of sad breaevement, but are joined by a multitude of .Mends who are loath to lose the companlonshlp of the deceased. Surviving are seven children: Mrs. Alva Nichols, Misses Lena, Agnes and Maggie and Messrs. Leo, Robert and Henry, the latter being stationed at Cuba at the present time in the government service. A brother and sister of the deceased who reside in Switzerland also survive. The funeral services were held from the St. Marys church Monday morning at 8:30 O’clock, the cortege leaving the bouse at eight o'clock. o —— — Mt Vernon, Ind., May B—Posey county expressed iia desire to Have licensed saloons, giving the saloon side of the option issue a majority now placed at 1,449. This southwesternmost county of Indiana, famed for its mythical “Hooppole” township, makes the sixth county to vote in favor of the licensed sale of liquor, and the margin for the liquor cause is the largest thus far given on that side of the issue. A heavy rain Thursday night stopped farm work, and as a result almost a total vote was polled. Farmers voted almost to a man, and the overwhelming majority shows many of them must have voted the “wet”t!cket. Fiftytwo saloons are affected by the result. The thirty precincts complete in Posey county give a “wet” majority of 1,449. The “wet” victory had been forecasted for some time for the reason that a committee of skilled political workers of both parties was in charge of the “wet” campaign, while ministers managed the “dry” campaign. Only one newspaper published matter for the “drys” while the “wet” committee did not use a sin-, gle line in any of the papers.

Evansville, Ind., May B.—The saloon element is In Its glory here over the tremendous majority given to the “wets” in Posey county. This damp victory, following the unexpected “wet’’ result In Spencer county, almost warrants a loss for the “drys’ in Warrick county soon. . — o — ANOTHER GOES TO BANFORD George W. Crim, of Portland, Makes Florida Purchase. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Crim and daughter, Erva, west Arch street, will leave Portland within the next’coupJe of weeks, going to Florida, where they will locate. Mr. Crim and family were In the south during the month of April and while there made arrangements for moving to that section of the country. He purchased a ten acre tract of land about four miles from Sanford, a. place located in the southeastern part of Florida, not many miles from the eastern coast, and will engage in farming. For a time the family will reside In Sanford, until a residence can be built on the farm and other improvements made.—Portland Sun. ■ i. .1 o ■ Lawrence Ralston returned to his home at Indianapolis, after a short visit in the city with Miss Grace Buhler.

The Amacher vs. Johnson ditch case will be tried again, even If the supreme court of Indiana said otherwise. Few if any similar entanglement of legal questions are found on the records of this states law books. The case for a new trial was heard before Judge O’Rourke of the circuit court at Fort Wayne Friday and that jurist quickly gave a decision In favor of the plaintiff, saying he believed a new trial should be there right This cause began in 1905 be* fore the board of county commissioners and has been fought through nearly every imaginable stage and the end is not yet, for now will come another trial and, of course, no one can forecast the results, but it Is likely that each side will fight as long as there is a chance, for the costs are now several hundred, of dollars, ihe Fort Wayne Sentinel last evening said the .costs will aggregate |1,500. The original case now comes back on the docket here, and will not be tried until next fall some time. There is quite an array of legal talent in the case, and it is certain that every point will be taken advantage of. _ o Tom Railing, the big pitcher who has been in the game for a number of years, left Friday night for Jackson, Michigan, where he expects to land a job in the Southern Michigan league. Tom was fooled this year by an obstreperous manager, who does the hiring and firing on the Springfield, Illinois, team in the Three-I league. This manager got cross ways with Tom and last spring when the big twirler could not locate the plate, he insisted that he was purposely laying down on him, and this year he retained him until all the good leagues had filled up, in order that he could make it as hard as possible for him to land a place. It Is said that they were offered good money for his release by several teams, but refused. Tom took the matter up with the president of the league;, who gave ’him an unconditional release on the sixth. This reached Tom Friday and he immediately started after a job. He has the goods this year, being in better condition than ever in his life, and he will easily find a good place. o— LAWYERS HAVE A FEAST Judge Erwin Makes Happy Speech at Bar Banquet. Judge R. K. Erwin, who responded to the second toast, was in a particularly happy frame of mind and after reading a newspaper clipping illustrative of the manner in which the law was made to appear farcical by “cub 1 ’ reporters, assumed a more serious vein and discussed for a few minutes the things the practice of law holds out to him who espouses the law as a profession. He spoke of the opportunity which the lawyer has for extending encouragement and charity to his fellow man and of the burden of human sympathy the really great lawyer is forced to bear. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

Jesse O. Wagner, son of James Wagner of south of this city, was instantly killed Friday night at eleven o’clock while at work in the Pennsylvania yards at Fort Wayne. His father and other relatives went to that place on the eleven o’clock car last Saturday, and the remains were brought here for burial. The young man had lived at Fort Wayne about three years, and was very popular among the railroad employes, where he has worked for some time as a switchman in the yards. While on duty Friday p. m. the engine passed over some obstruction on the track. Jesse was riding on the running board and quite naturally leaned over to see what the trouble was. As he did so he slipped and fell, just as the engine approached the freight house. He was caught between the engine and the freight house and terribly crushed. The engine ran about fifteen feet before it was stopped, and the body of the unfortunate man was so mutilated that it required about ten minutes to extricate the remains from the wheels. The body was conveyed to an undertaking establishment. Mr. Wagner leaves a wife and one child who reside on Hayden street in Fort Wayne. The news of the young man’s death will cause sadness here, where he has many relatives and friends. —— - o— — The St. Marys river is quite high and should present conditions continue, She will soon overflow the lowlands on her . east nank. A blind man. led by a woman dressed in black, was in the city Tuesday soliciting funds, presumably for the purpose of having a cataract removed from the man’s eye. The woman was a smooth talker, and while we believe in charity, it looks a little queer that people living at Taylorsville, where they claim their home, should have to travel the whole state to raise fifty dollars for so worthy a purpose. It’s even money that the couple make a good living out of the graft.

A rather unusual incident is reported from near Bobo, occurring Thursday evening during the storm which caused so much havoc throughout this county. Miss Letha Shafer, fifteen years old, and who lives with Ed Arnold and family, was out in the yard looking after some chores, when the storm came up. A severe stroke of lightning came and soon after she apeared at the house unable to talk and apparently in a very serious condition. She signaled that she had been struck by lightning, and Dr. J. W. Vizard was summoned from Pleasant Mills. An examination proved that she had been stricken with paralysis, very badly affecting tiie left side. She is still quite iIL but is improving and will recover. No trace was found where the lightning had struck near where she was standing, and there are no marks on her body and consequently it is not believed that she received any shock. It is the opinion that the flash came close enough to give the young lady n scare, and this may have caused the stroke of paralysis. Her left side and the spine were affected. It was reported that she was struck by lightning, but the story, when straightened out, was as given above. o— Attorney L. C. DeVoss who has been making an effort to secure the release of Chauncey Steele, from the Indiana Reformatory, where he has served three years for forging a small check, has received word from the board of pardons that the matter has been postponed until the June session. Mr. DeVoss and Mrs. John Lenhart, a sister of Steele’s appeared before the board at the April session and presented a petition signed by over two hundred business men here, the court officials and others, asking for the young man’s release and stating that they believe he has been more than sufficiently punished for his act, and from the encouragement given them it was believed that he would be pardoned within a few days but this postponement is rather discouraging to the man’s relatives and friends. He served 180 days in jail here before he was sent up. _— ——■■ ■ ■ BLUFFTON LAWYERS IN A ROW Charley Dailey Slaps Brother Attorney in Mouth.

Bluffton, Ind., May 7.—Two attorneys for the state got into a row on the street here this afternoon, resulting in Charles G. Dailey slapping William Lee. Mr. Dailey is deputy prosecutor for Wells, county, while William Lee is an attorney in Nottingham township, and was appointed deputy prosecutor there by Prosecutor Secrest. A few days ago John Lee, brother of William Lee, was beaten up by Irvin Courtney. Courtney went to Poneto and had a warrant issued for himself on a charge of assault and battery. He then pleaded guilty to the charge and paid a small fine, the Injured man being in bed from the bruises. Later an affidavit for surety of the peace, through Charles Dailey. There has been bad blood between the Lee brothers for several years, and William Lee said something insulting to Dailey about the second affidavit filed here, he not liking the fact that there was to be another charge. Mr. Dailey told him to shut up and when he refused to do so slapped him.
