Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bents went to Decatur yesterday, and from there they go to Lake Koontz in Marshall county, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Runyon, to spend a few days at the lake. This is Mr. Bentz’s first vacation since he took up his position as bookkeeper in the People’s State bank three years ago. Up till yesterday he had never been away from the bank for a whole day at a time.— Berne Witness.

OBITUARY. Henry Rudolph Kruetzmann was born in Linen, Prussia, Germany, bn the 16th of April, 1886. On the 22nd of April he was presented to the Lord the true life giver, through the act of holy baptism. He then as he grew up, received religious instructions, so that by the act of confirmation he publicly confessed his faith in the Redeemer, Jesus Christ. In his early youth he heard of the riches of America, and of the vast stretches of farm lands still unoccupied. Gradually as he saw so many of his countrymen leave for the land of promise, the desire to come to that promising country also grew up In his breast and Impelled him to take up the emigrants staff In 1862. He settled in Preble township, Adams county, Indiana. On May 3, 1866, he was united in marriage with Maria Elizabeth Fruechte, and together, they labored for many years, clearing their land and supporting their family. Their union was blessed with nine children, all Os them still living. His noble wife, who joyed and sorrowed at his side for 28 years, was taken from him by the grim reaper death Oct. 21, 1894. He felt the loss of his blessed wife until his own decease, June 2, at about 9:30 in the morning. His children, grandchildren, relatives and many friends remain to mourn his departure. He reached the goodly old age of 73 years, 1 mo., 16 days. —— O' —■ Cralgville, Ind., June 10—An era o! prosperity is about to hit Cralgville, according to one of the merchants, and within a few months old residents will hardly know the town. At present the residents are only awaiting for capital to take hold and develop the place, as the proper returns on the money have been guaranteed by a number of men. The one thing which Cralgville needs, and which from present appearances she is going to get within a short time, is some new buildings. The present business rooms have served the place in some instances for over a generation and around them are woven many tales and much sentiment. The residents

of this little place, however, are very practical with their sentiment and every one is looking toward a bigger and greater Cralgville. Not only will there be new buildings constructed in the town, but there will be new sidewalks, real cement sidewalks laid and many other things which improves the looks of a town. Negotiations have already been started with men with capital for the construction of two or three modern business buildings, while agreements have been made for the laying of cement sidewalks on both sides of the main street. —, __o What is so rare as a day in June? What is so fair as the June bride? The questions are as old as the newspaper business and have never been answered, so we take it that nothing has beep found to compare with either. Speaking of brides, there have been just nine of them in Adams county during the eleven days of the month. All have received due notice save two, who secured their li? censes Friday. Mr. Newton B. Melchihg, a Wells county farmer, aged twenty-two, and Miss Anna Borne, age eighteen, were granted a license this afternoon and a few momehts later were united in marriage, at the cozy corner of the clerk’s office, the ceremony being performed by Judge James Thomas Merryman, in his polished manner. A license was also granted Friday to Mr. Lloyd E. Clauser, aged nineteen, of Wells county, to Miss Velma R. Bryan, aged eighteen of Kirkland township, this county. The young people are all well known and having choeen jthe I brightest month of the year for their wedding day, we certainly hope for them the brightest that life affords. May they all live long and be happy.

I The five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wolford of the south part of the city Thursday fell in a vault ip the rear of the premises* and was it not for the fact that his perilous position was noticed, he probably I would have drowned. Mrs. Wolford I was engaged in her housework and I noted the absence of the child. She I searched the premises and found the | child all but She secured an axe and removed several boards and finally rescued the little fellow. 1 When he was taken from the valut ’ the child was not breathing, but in ’ a moment he caught his breath much 1 to the joy of his mother. His condl--1 tlon was, however, serious, and the services of a physician were at once » engaged. Medical aid was administered and it is thought that he will I recover without inconvenience. The . people residing in the neighborhood i were at a high state of excitement over the affair and all are gratified to know that the little boy is on the road to recovery. r— O'Charles Heckman transacted business in Fort Wayne and returned on a late car. «***■».

Albert Preadorf, the new deputy sheriff, made his first arrest Friday morning and he transacted hfs first official duty gracefully. It was reported to Trustee Butler thjs morning that a party of gypsies was camped near the school house located three miles west of the city, and the sheriff was notified of the law violation. Presdorf proceeded to the scene and placed the two men under arrest and brought them to the city, where they put up a cash fiond for their appearance In the court of Squire Smith this afternon at four o’clock. The wayfarers also engaged the services of an attorney and tne case will be bitterly fought. A law which recently went into effect makes camping on a public highway a misdemeanor and it was upon this charge that the men were arrested. When accosted by-the officer they stated that the reason they did not come on to Decatur was that one of their horses became sick. o Nathan Ehrman, one of the best known farmers of Kirkland township, and who owns property In this city and is well known here, as well as over the county, had a narrow escape from being seriously Injured Friday morning. He was doing some hauling on his farm, using his big team of horses, and had hauled a load across a bridge which spans a big ditch which runs through his farm. He was returning and when squarely upon the bridge, the floor gave away and * horses, wagon and driver were .precipitated into the water, about nine feet below. The water was about two or three feet deep, and Mr. Ehrman got a good ducking, escaping without other injury. One of ithe horses was hurt slightly and the wagon was not damaged a dollar’s worth though it was necessary to secure pulleys to draw it back up to earth. A peculiar part of the accident was that the bridge should go down with an empty wagon when he had crossed it but a few moments before Wth a heavy load, but any way his friends are glad to know that he escaped without damage.

Ora Sells was Friday p. m. taken before Judge Merryman to answer to the charge of contempt of court for his failure to contribute to the support of his ten-year-old child and judge ordered his commitment to jail until he has paid all that is due. It will be remembered that the court more than two years ago ordered him to pay a stipulated amount each month for the support of the child and he failed to do so, leaving the state. He was captured and placed in jail until satisfactory arrangements were made for the payment for same. Last November he was ordered to pay six dollars per month until the child was ten years old, and he has but fifteen dollars of this amount. Judge gave Sells a severe lecture in which he informed the man that the court would extend further leniency on account of his actions. Sell pleaded for his release stating that he had a crop out and that as soon as he realized money from it he would meet the payment, but he has made so many such promises without fulfilling them, that the court ordered his Imprisonment until he satisfied the law. —————n— ———— WILL TEACH AT WARREN. “ Mr. Weldy is Chosen as Assistant Principal of the Schools There.

The superintendent and school board of Warren have made a great shakeup in the composition of their faculty. Only three of the old teachers are retained though it is thought the new force will be more efficient than the old. Fred Barber of Carroll county, a graduate of Wabash college, will be principal. J. H. Weldy of Decatur, a graduate of Valparaiso, will be assistant principal in charge of the science department. Miss Helen Ruth Fink of Oberlin will be in charge of the music department. Fred Myers of this city will be in charge of the eighth grade work. It was also determined to publish a school catalogue which will be ready for the printer by fall.—Huntington-News-Democrat TO INSPECT RESERVOIR.

The cigar and tobacco store of Tim Corbett was burglarized Monday p. m. and the burglar succeeded in getting away with a box or two of cigars, several packages of cigarettes and about three dollars and a half in coin of the realm. The thief gained an entrance by forcing a window on the south side at the rear of the store. The window was only held by a nail and entrance was easy. After helping himself to all the tobacco he needed, the burglar tapped the cash register and took all the money that had been left there for change. The police are working on the case and suspicion points to a man who has figured in other and similar affairs. If sufficient evidence can be secured he will be arrested. These robberies occur entirely too frequently and some of these light fingered young men are going to get themselves into very serious trouble one of these days. The footprint on the window sill arid,) a few other marks were all the clews left, but this was sufficient to work on, and Marshal Butler went to work at once. are expected within a day or tw.

A closer watch is being kept on the blind tigers of the city and it is probable that there will be some more arrests within a . short time on the charge of selling liquor without a license. Several men, it is claimed, come into the city every Friday and Saturday night, with suit cases filled with booze, which they distribute over Saturday and Sunday, getting the farmers who make the city on both days. A number of the drunks who have infested the streets within the past few weeks have gotten their booze, it is claimed, at these blind tigers.—Bluffton Banner. — _ -O ; RICH RED BLOOD.
